Amy’s Apps:
my favorite app of the week is shazam. have you ever been in a restaurant or shopping and heard a song and wondered what it was? now you can just tap your shazam app, hold your iphone up to where it can hear the song the best, wait 10 seconds, and shaZam! the app tells you what the song is and where to buy it. it also creates a convenient list for you of songs you’ve shazamed, and you can send the list to friends/family. what, you don’t have an iphone? sad for you!
