Ten ways to test your ears.
Pick the music you know best, or the music you think you know.
Daily Challenge
Five new songs every day, the same for everyone. Share your score and compare with friends.
Your music, your way
Play from your own Apple Music library, a single artist from more than 100, a genre or a decade from the 60s to today.
First Note
Hear one second of a song and type its name. Every extra second you ask for costs points.
Survival, Guess the Year and Higher or Lower
Go until you miss, pin down a release year, or pick which of two songs came out first.
Better with friends.
Race a friend live, or send them your exact game and see who knows the songs better.
Real-time Versus
Share a room code and go head to head on the same songs, with your opponent's score updating live.
Challenge links
After any game, send a link. Your friend plays the same songs and your results appear side by side.
Speed and streaks
Answer fast for big points and build a streak to multiply everything.

Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Email support@azzosoftware.ca.
Is Earworm free?
Yes. Earworm is free to download, with no ads and no subscriptions. Every game mode is free to play, including the Daily Challenge, Genre Gauntlet, My Library and Versus. Artist packs and the full Decades Dash catalogue are optional one-time purchases.
Do I need Apple Music?
No. Earworm plays song previews without an Apple Music subscription. Connecting Apple Music lets you play My Library with songs from your own library.
How does scoring work?
The faster you name the song, the more points you earn. Consecutive correct answers build a streak that multiplies your score. In First Note, every extra second of audio you ask for costs points.
How do I play against a friend?
Start a Versus match and share the room code or link to race on the same songs in real time. Or, after any game, share a challenge link and your friend plays the exact same songs to try to beat your score.
Do I need an account?
No. There is no sign-up. Leaderboards, achievements and real-time matches use your Game Center profile.
How do I restore my purchases?
Packs are tied to your Apple Account. Sign in with the same Apple Account on a new iPhone or iPad and use Restore Purchases in the app's store. Refunds can be requested at reportaproblem.apple.com.
