Shazam has revealed that is broken through the 300m user mark, and unveiled a new user experience for iPad and Android tablets. This includes a completely redesigned home screen, an improved layout for Shazam tag results for both TV and music, and a new way to browse what friends have been tagging. Other features include an interactive mapping feature, enabling fans to zoom in to any city in the world to discover, buy and share the most popular music people are listening to in that location – starting at the continent level, then drilling down into the country, state/region, city and, in some cases, town level.

There’s also an improved Shazam Friends feature, providing users with an easier way to discover new music and media from their friends, and giving them quick access to preview and comment on their friends’ tags.

Over the past months, Shazam says it has been seeing triple-digit growth in the number of downloads of the iPad version of its app, particularly for use as a second-screen companion device while watching television.

“According to Canalys, tablet sales are set to surpass laptop sales this year, and those of all PCs by 2016, demonstrating that people love the elegance and simplicity of using wireless technology to enhance their work and home lives,” said Shazam CEO, Andrew Fisher. “Additionally, tablets are an ideal way to experience more on the second screen as people watch television on the first screen, giving people more space to engage in additional content. Our new app gives our fans a significantly improved and streamlined way to engage more with the media they enjoy in the fastest way possible.”

The new version of Shazam for iOS is a universal app, so it works with iPad, iPhone and iPod touch devices. The Shazam app has already updated its UI for iPhone and iPod touch, and will include the new interactive mapping feature with this upcoming release. All versions of Shazam for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch and Android devices come with unlimited tagging. The new design and features will launch on iOS and Android devices in the coming weeks.
