Shazam launches (RED) charity iPhone app
It’s not long since Shazam launched its Shazam Encore premium iPhone app, but now another version has gone live: (Shazam) RED. It’s essentially the same music recognition app, for the same price ($4.99), except people buying it are automatically donating to help fight AIDS in Africa (20% of the purchase price, in fact)
So, users get unlimited tagging, the ability to share those tags via Twitter and Facebook, and tap-through links to buy songs in the iTunes Store. It also has the location features where tags are plotted on Google Maps, recommendations of songs based on your tag history, and the ability to associate camera-snaps with tags.
Meanwhile, there’s also a (RED) News option, to find out what the charity is up to, and check out other official (RED) products and events. If you’re thinking of upgrading to the premium version of Shazam, this one’s definitely the one to go for.
