This app does exactly what it's meant to. Look up any song, and you can find what it samples, usually with a YouTube video attached and with timestamps to show exactly what parts were sampled.

I've been using who sampled for years through the website and more recently through the app. Its awesome and I've never looked elsewhere for anything similar as I've never needed to. Who sampled crew - thank you 🫶
★★★★★Lucas Skrobot· May 9, 2026
Pretty good, wish you could search samples off of like if they were drums or vocals
★★★★★Lourdes Contreras· Jul 13, 2025
I was always trying to look up newer songs & what songs were samples because they had an old school vibe. It wasn't always easy, sometimes it took a few attempts. With this app it's so much easier & quicker!! Love it!!
★★★★★General Mishap· May 21, 2026
This is literally the only app I pay for. It's not fit everyone, but for sample obsessives it's a necessity. How could I get on with my day if I couldn't find out the source of a sample that I recognize but can't place??

Goofy back button setup makes you force quit on accident network error messages when on good Wi-Fi and cell network slow in general. This is why I hate website apps. Just make your website good, and we don't need your stupid apps

With free version you can only search for songs by typing them in. If you want it to listen to a song you're playing, etc. & then tell you info about it, you have to get paid version.

Used to be a great app, but after some update the text has become unreadable. There doesn't seem to be much developer activity anymore, so uninstalled.
★☆☆☆☆flanno· Nov 22, 2025
The YouTube videos don't work anymore. The app was cool before but now it's not usable.
★★☆☆☆m lewis· Aug 27, 2025
Let down by the limited search function. No ability to search for film samples for instance?
