There is Soundhound but I've found it's accuracy is not quite as good. But the app is a little cooler and it writes a playlist of queries to Spotify.<p>After Apple integrated with Siri, I discovered a nice, somewhat hidden feature which is open iTunes Store >> Hamburger Menu >> Siri to find a preserved history of my "what song is this?" queries. Even in loud environments I find asking my phone to tell me what song it is works well and is a little easier than opening an app.
That’s great news! I don’t understanding why they cant be bothered to put this in the version log, instead of the useless ‘bug fixes and performance improvements’ note.

So Apple removed Facebook login capabilities or they just used the web-based login instead? I did this with a native iOS application before, just used the web-based login while checking for the completion hook and it was about the same experience as using all of Facebook's native SDK's while keeping the app size down and very little possibility for snooping on FB's side.
> Right now, the app only has one 3rd party SDK installed and that’s HockeyApp. Microsoft’s version of TestFlight. It’s unclear why it’s still there<p>HockeyApp also provides crash reporting (it uses the PLCrashReporter framework to do so), so that may be why it's still there.
I wish there were some public data on the impact of removing those - app start latency, battery consumption, bandwidth, etc. I bet there are positive impacts for the customers other than just privacy.
Makes sense to keep the hockeyApp integration as it is an amazing tool for crash analysis and they still need that. Integration with crash analytic is a different type of integration than facebook, advertisment and the other stuff (crap) they have removed.
