A true gem of an app/website for music lovers/nerds/discoverers alike. Had the app since 2014 and intend to keep it for as long as it exists. It's practically perfect in every way (to me)

Just discovered this app, and it's perfect for finding out what songs were sampled and what part was used. Great app.
★★★★★Martin· Mar 2, 2026
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 🫶
★★★★★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!!

The YouTube videos don't work anymore. The app was cool before but now it's not usable.
★★☆☆☆SKINNY00· Nov 4, 2025
Good app overall but it currently won't open any videos citing an error?

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.
★★☆☆☆m lewis· Aug 27, 2025
Let down by the limited search function. No ability to search for film samples for instance?
