The app allows users to identify music tracks, watch artists' videos and other music content, and share music moments by sending Tags as a Tweet, to a Facebook mini-feed or by email. Users can also share music memories with friends by taking and adding a photo to Tags, which are seamlessly added to the Nokia photo album.

Users are provided with a 30 day free trial of the fully featured application from the first time they use it on a device.
