SoundHound - Music Discovery for Negative User Reviews
✓ What Happened?!This was always my go to music search app, now it rarely identifies anything? Very sad 😕.Version: 10.2.2
✓ Thought it was good 😤Let me tell you how I got it. I had this song stuck in my head so I searched on google for some apps to get it out of my head. And google suggested sound hound so I downloaded sound hound I looked at the comments about sound hound and most of them was good so I tried it out I hummed the song in my head and it said it couldn’t find any songs that sounded like the song stuck in my head so I tried humming a different song and it said it couldn’t find any songs! I tried again third times the charm and it didn’t work so I deleted it. If it worked for you then LUCKY YOU I HATE THIS APP!.Version: 9.8
✓ UselessSong is stuck in my head and no matter what I did in this app, it couldn't find it. I bummed it, I sag it, and I typed in its lyrics. Feel free to check for me. "Don't stop the beat. Don't stop the beat. Don't stop the beat. Don't stop the beat" is what I typed in, sang, and hummed. It's a fairly straight forward tune too. I even changed up the words incase I got any of them wrong. I changed all of them except "beat" because I know that is definitely the 4th word. I chose everything that rhymed and since that didn't work, I tried out words that were somewhat similar. I am putting in more than my fair share of work in and this app just wastes it all. Also, the app was poorly designed. Navigating it and accepting things and pressing buttons is a mess. Some buttons say "done" and the notice won't go away when you press it, it goes away when you press somewhere else on the the screen. It sends you to web pages with certain button presses for no reason too. 1 star is generous..Version: 9.4.9
✓ A powerful that lost it’s way….This app used to be the go-to for me and my friends, Shazam (it’s well known rival) had lost it’s way and was awful, but now the table has turned. Shazam with it’s Apple investment has gone from strength to strength and this app seems to get worse. New app updates seem to make it clunkier and it’s janky add-ons do nothing for me, it really struggles to identify even mainstream music and it’s database ain’t what it was. Now I have a new bug, where it randomly comes on and destroys my battery life after being on for 12 hours solid, I’m slowly relegating SoundHound down my app order as Shazam moves up on my phone, come on SoundHound go back to the viral sensation you were only a couple of years ago..Version: 9.10
✓ Iwatch sucksPopular songs and it can’t find it. Even the phone app doesn’t do that well anymore.Version: 9.8
✓ What HappenWhen this app first came out years ago it was awesome. It was able to find it starts songs that Shazam could not do ever sense and for the past year and in the updates in the search engine is not functional. App over Shazam but now it can’t at times pull the most recent songs or artists. The response time of the search engine is Eva slow. There is no doubt in comparing the two apps that Shazam has gotten an edge over this app. You guys know from experience that your app is not up to par with Shazam please make me a believer in next Suzanne wants the better search engine music app and I will go back to reading this a five star.Version: 8.6
✓ UselessDoesn’t work at all.Version: 10.2.2
✓ Doesn’t know many songsI have to admit, this app is pretty cool as it’s the first one I’ve found you can hum into. The problem is, there basically aren’t any songs that aren’t mainstream!! When I first downloaded the app, I tested with my favourite song and it came up with a message telling me to try again later as ‘they always update their library’. I don’t get the point of having an app that can barely recognise any songs!.Version: 10.2.2
✓ No Canadian artistsSoundHound is ok, as long as you’re not trying to identify Canadian music. As a Canadian, that’s a bit of a problem..Version: 9.3.1
✓ UnreliableI get melodies, choruses, and sometimes random lyrics stuck in my head and need to find them. I’ve had almost zero success at finding songs that way. Tonight was the real deal breaker for me. I could remember the melody for this one part of Bubble Pop Electric. I was humming it correctly, I tried both higher and lower pitch. I tried singing it. I started to remember the lyrics, though at the moment I wasn’t sure it was the correct lyrics. I sang them, and it was actually the correct lyrics, but SoundHound still could not get even close. Eventually I found the song, but it wasn’t through SoundHound. I’m officially done since this app has been more frustrating than helpful most of the times I’ve used it..Version: 9.4.9
✓ “We couldn’t find that one” without a “save” optionWhen there’s no internet connection, there’s an option to save the search. When a sound can’t be found, there is no save option. Please fix that. Give me the option to save regardless. I’m almost certain that used to be an option. Please don’t make me turn to Shazam. I really don’t want to. I’m very comfortable here. Also, could you please make your playback for saved searches better? Here’s a tip: Snapchat has the voice note feature in their chat. Listen to voice notes there vs. the playback on SoundHound saved searches. If there’s a way to make it sound clearer and sharper, I’d appreciate it. Thank you..Version: 9.8
✓ Worst app everBro this app NEVER give me the Song. Seriously I never found my song CANDY SHOP. Maybe I sing like a pig but that’s doesn’t work..Version: 9.5.3
✓ .Okay, this is not what I thought it was. I don’t have access to Yt and you have to pay for Apple Music, so I can only listen to previews. It’s really annoying because not everyone can access the only TWO OUT OF THREE OPTIONS YOU'VE GIVEN US! why can’t we just listen to music? It’s not a big deal and it’s not that hard. Geez. I’m very disappointed.Version: 10.2.2
✓ Doesn’t workDoesn’t recognise a single song.Version: 8.9.2
✓ From Hero to ZeroSound hound was always my app of choice for song identification. I could quickly open it, tap the large button, and close the app all without taking my eyes off the road. Then later I could check my history to see the info about the song. That’s how it worked for what seemed like years. That is until the most recent time I open the app to check my history and I’m greeted with a message saying to register to see my history. All those songs that I hadn’t gotten around to acquiring are now gone in some void, replaced with a screen begging for a registration. I immediately deleted the app. I’m not opposed the registering an account, but to hold my identified songs hostage to fluff up your user base is BS. I went back to Shazam..Version: 8.4
✓ No longer worksIt just straight up stopped recognizing any song..Version: 10.2.2
✓ Zingin-in-the-tuneAgain...another app gone commercial. Customer satisfaction no longer exists, just numbers... What once was, no longer exists... I still have this app on an Old phone. Works totally different there, like it should be working today! I forgot about this app after a couple of phones. One day, I came across it again and decided to download it. What a Mistake! I remember when no one knew about this app. I/We, would actually have to help them build their library. I would play songs, then, as per their request when the music could not be found, I would enter the information for the music! Classical, indie pop, classic jazz, oldies but goldies, underground, and on, and on... WE made this app! Now, after all OUR help building THEIR library, they give us this horrible app. Can't just find the song and add it to your library, can't even Listen to it unless you want to Pay for more Options. What a Ripoff! Too bad WE can't have a Wiki-type music app!?!? So Sad..Version: 8.1
✓ Used to workLast few times I went to find a song, says it couldn’t find. Despite having it on higher volume and being clear. Won’t be using anymore.Version: 10.2.2
✓ Rarely finds anything that isn’t mainstreamWhat is this for? Find the latest Taylor Swift song maybe? There’s basically no cataloging of anything mildly interesting. You don’t have to go as far as DJ sets (I get it, there’s so many live gigs), but the app rarely finds a song being played on the radio - which is what I thought this is for. Unless of course you listen to KissFM or some latest hits station. Which is ridiculous because those songs, you can find anyway..Version: 9.5.3
✓ Sadly, going downhill.I have been a loyal Soundhounder for many years but in the last few months I started to feel that it was not finding tracks more and more often. I was missing out on brilliant tracks so I downloaded Shazam and found that 95% Shazam found tracks that Soundhound didn’t… what’s happened? 😔.Version: 9.7
✓ Used to be goodThis was a really good app, but sadly not anymore. It rarely struggled to identify a song, now it rarely finds one. I loved the ‘live lyrics’ and all the information you could get. You could go from identifying a song, see the whole album, to opening in iTunes and buying it. Now only a one star but gave an extra one as thanks for what it used to be 🙁.Version: 9.4.2
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreThis app was incredible at identifying tunes ~12+ years ago when I first downloaded it—even through other background noise. Somehow it’s gotten worse? Maybe they need to expand their library and improve their parameters. It’s so strange to me that the tech appears to have been better ages ago..Version: 10.0
✓ Up your game SoundHound!Truly prefer using this app to other music recognition apps but certain Sh*z*m app is recognising more tunes than yours! It’s frustrating in situations when you hear a song on radio/club etc where the tune is not finding a match so I have to switch to the another app which will match it first time! Fix and get better rating from me!.Version: 8.9.3
✓ Used to be greatI’ve been using this app for years! I preferred it over Shazam as it added to a playlist and always got the tunes. Recently it almost never recognised anything and hasn’t been able to add to a playlist for months....PLEASE FIX IT! Going to have to use another app....Version: 9.5.3
✓ I’m not happy.This app is great and all, but... I just downloaded it on a BRAND NEW iPhone 11, and it won’t create or add tracks to the “SoundHound History” playlist like it was clearly designed to do. It hasn’t created that playlist, it just won’t. I’ve tried several times, and I’ve been troubleshooting since. Everything is enabled and allowed in my settings app, I signed up for a SoundHound account, I even tried creating the “SoundHound History” playlist myself with no signs of success. There are NO forums out there to help with this issue, which is surprising considering SoundHound has released numerous videos with Q&A. All I wanted was to learn the names of songs I like, and add them to a designated playlist. Can someone please help me, so that I can make this review into a much more positive one?.Version: 9.4.6
✓ Humming doesn’t workIf you are looking for the app for humming this is not it!.Version: 10.2.2
✓ What happened?This used to be my go to app, especially for new music that had just come out. It would pick up in seconds what the song was, even if it wasn't available for purchase yet, and always out performed Shazam in the recognition stakes. I'd use it to find the song then buy it. Now struggles recognising most songs, whether out for weeks or years..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Sound whatThis app is getting worse every time they update it. It’s unstable and unable to pick common songs. Today I gave it the chance to identify a song five times and each time gave me a totally unrelated song. Other times can’t even find a song. Useless for musicals..Version: 9.4.9
✓ It doesn’t work right.This app doesn’t work for me. I was playing guitar and played this riff I randomly remembered. So I downloaded this app and played it to it, but it couldn’t come up with anything. After consulting a family member, it turned out to be a bit from “Nothing Else Matters”. To further test the app I played several other songs into it, hummed songs to it, and even sang the lyrics to several classic songs to this app. It failed every single time. It only works when I play the original recording by the artist. Now, I realize other people have had wonderful experiences with this app, so it could be a hardware issue on my end, or maybe even a pebkac error. I don’t know. But my experience with it was negative..Version: 9.4.2
✓ Identifying classical vs modern musicModern “tunes” are identified in the following order: title, performer, and perhaps composer. This is the appropriate ordering and this app does that well. Buying modern tunes starts with the title. Classical music, however, requires that the composer be identified first, followed by the title of the piece, and lastly the performer(s). This app consistently FAILS to identify the composer. So, typically one will see something like only Piano Sonata #3 followed by the performer. But whose work is that? Sometimes the album cover shown has the composer’s name if it’s a major work, but often there are multiple composer’s shown if the pieces are smaller. This happened again this morning. The local classical music station was playing an unknown piece identified by this app as Piano Concerto #1 performed by some artist and a German orchestra. The composer could not be determined by the album cover. Worse, the announcer mentioned the performer at the end of the piece, but not the composer. Buying classical music starts with the composer. Surely there’s someone out there smart enough the correct this situation..Version: 10.2.2
✓ Used to be great now unusableI just want to open sound hound and find out what song is playing and save that in history. Now it comes up with some unexitable demo about how to play songs with speech recognition. Wants you to sign-up. Keeps prompting things, plays Justin Bieber songs. I just want the one function that it used to have, that now I can't even find where it is. This is the most important function and the only reason to have the app. It should be extremely easy to reach so it's no brainer in the car to catch the song before it's over..Version: 8.0.2
✓ AirpodsWhy it’s doesn’t play in my AirPods?.Version: 9.5.2
✓ Useless - hummung or whistling is not workingI had a song stuck in my head (it still is) but could only remember the melody. SoundHound sounded like a solution, but alas - too good to be true - it couldn’t find anything by whistling or by humming. Then I tried to hum and whistle very famous songs like Yesterday, or Halleluya - it didn’t find them either! Sometimes it was showing some unrelated results in Chinese, but mostly - nothing. Then I tried to sing them with words, and finally - voila, it works! So - it’s almost useless, because if I know the words, I can find a song anyway... Also - in the free version, the ad is often obscuring the button, so I must stop and restart the search. Don’t understand the 5 star ratings....Version: 9.0.3
✓ Was a 5 Star now just a 3 starI’ve had this app for years and I absolutely love the features and the UI but.... I have thousands (almost 10,000) of songs stored on my phone but it will only let me access playlists. Now I know I can fool the app by saving my library as a playlist but.... I lose a lot of functionality by doing so. I would 5 Star love the app if it was a legitimate player as well as a music find, identify, and share/purchase app. And I agree with another reviewer. The map part rocks. I do use it to search for new music based on other users who seem to share my very broad tastes in music. I hardly use the app now though as I am too limited in my library access..Version: 8.8.2
✓ This is trash don’t download in Canada fricking StupitFrick u who ever downloaded this it doesn’t works in Canada >:( I’m champion 1v1. Me u wuss don’t download in Canada this is garbage and a goofy flawlessly stuff!.Version: 9.6.1
✓ This broken app doesn’t even deserve a 1 star reviewIf only there was a “zero star” option, then this review would sum up this dreadful app more accurately. At first I thought my ipad’s microphone was broken, however i have tried this on my brand new ipad and it’s still not working. No matter how many times i have hummed or sang the song i wanted to look up, it doesn’t work. This app is complete waste of time! avoid! Shazam is far superior..Version: 9.4.3
✓ Not goodWas looking for a certain song that isn’t well known. I hummed and it didn’t get it I thought fair enough so I tried other songs that I already knew and I recited a popular one word for word and it said no matches. They’re trying to market themselves as something more advanced than Shazam and it just isn’t working. Something that can perform its claims will be more successful then something that underperforms their higher claims. All in all It’s basically a bootleg Shazam that promised something it hasn’t delivered..Version: 8.9.3
✓ Too many adsThe feel of the app has completely changed - now it’s adverts full on, with little ‘x’ in the top right that don’t actually close them. Scroll down and.. the same as appears again. The actual record button is now too small, and you’d only know to press it if you are a user in the past - even I struggled to remember it’s now in the footer. BTW, the footer is commonly used to take you to different tabs, so to make it an actual button is not obvious to new users at all. Overall, get rid of the ads..Version: 9.4.4
✓ This app doesn’t find anythingI had this app for years. A decade actually. I didn’t realize how poor it was until I switched to a competitor. I had to try multiple times for it to find songs I was listening to. A god majority failed. And that is its only job. Who knows how many songs it didn’t find over that decade. But I didn’t want to lose that long history of the songs it did find. I set up an account figuring I could save my history before deleting. Nope. Just feed them all my personal data and got nothing out of it but spam emails. I have no idea how the reviews of this app are so good. Seems very suspicious. Skip this. Literally any other free app for finding songs is better..Version: 10.2.3
✓ BrutalHasn’t worked for me once.Version: 9.6.1
✓ Useless for older musicIt failed to recognise a tune I really want to identify and that’s why I bought it. It failed to recognise Billy Mayerl’s Marigold or Blues in the Night but learning from another reviewer I tried Twinkle Twinkle Little Star but only because it offers 3 modern versions. So my singing isn’t the problem. It’s that this app is not interested in older music but merely in flogging as many pop downloads as it can. I suspect the claim that it has copied “billions” of songs is mistaken or possibly fraudulent as even if 1 million songs are created each year, and how likely is that, it would take several thousand years to build up a repertoire of this size. An explanation would be very enlightening..Version: 8.9.1
✓ App sucks so muchDoesn’t detect any popular songs.Version: 9.10
✓ Glitchy, doesn’t recognize any songsI’ve used this app a million times in the past with great results. Today I tried singing a song I know some of the lyrics to and all of the melody but can’t find. It says there are no close matches, even though off the top of my head I know this song sounds musically similar to a lot of songs, so that surprised me. Then just to see what was up I hummed the fully melody to Womanizer by Britney Spears. It said there were no close matches. I did it again, same thing. What...? Then I sang womanizer with the lyrics and then it recognized it. I hummed the full melody, again said there were no matches, Something is wrong with this, it never needed perfect lyrics before to recognize a popular melody, or even an obscure melody. I can see that other reviewers are saying something is broken too. Can you guys please fix this? Why would this app that recognized a very short fragment of a hummed Beethoven symphony two years ago, suddenly not recognize the hummed fully melody of womanizer? Something is clearly wrong here..Version: 8.9.8
✓ Couldn’t use it because of intrusive advertising.I can’t say how good this app is because I was unable to get past the incredibly aggressive advertising for... who knows what. Rage deleted. The worst type of deletion there is. Yes we all know you need to make money blah blah blah but really? I strongly recommend avoiding this until they announce that they are switching their revenue platform. Losing customers is never good. Making them angry is just silly behaviour. I suppose they just don’t care at this stage..Version: 9.5.1
✓ Often falls at the first hurdleThis app often fails to identify music. The auto function is therefore quite useless as you would never know when it was right or wrong. Also poor when identifying classical because it frequently fails to provide enough information to identify the piece of music and the composer.Version: 8.8.1
✓ Ugh! Worst app ever! 😑😤Absolutely RUBBISH! It didn’t understand *anything*! I said “Ok Hound, play over and over again,” and it thought I said verdict phone alien! I’ve been humming loads of songs all day and it only knew one song! When I hummed ‘Let her go’ it thought the song was ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’! I don’t recommend it to anyone because this is the worse app I’ve ever downloaded. Don’t get it unless if you want to waste your storage on a useless app!The only reason I put one star on this review is because that’s the smallest amount you could do. Don’t download this and get another *better* app. How it makes me feel when I use it:😤😠😡🤬🤯 after this experience I’m going to delete this stupid idiotic app (sadly😪 I can’t swear😂🤣)..Version: 8.7
✓ GarbageWhy claim you can detect humming or singing if it never does it. Its not worth it. Dont install, use siri or shazam..Version: 9.5.3
✓ Simply doesn’t workIt’s not even recording!.Version: 9.5.3
✓ What happened??I used to LOVE this app! I used it to search for almost every song I heard because I am a music junkie but ironically I’m not the best at remembering artists’ names or what songs are sung by which artists. Lately however, very very very RARELY is this app able to identify a single song! If it does, its only if its a total chart topper or extremely simple. But pretty much all songs come up with zero matches & absolutely no guesses as to which song it might be. Now I’m not sure when the paid version of this app was released or if that’s even relevant... Unfortunately I’m a little suspicious that this lack of song identifying is a tactic to get customers to spend money on the paid version of this app because this free one no longer works & is anything but helpful or reliable. Disappointed for sure!.Version: 8.8.1
✓ Doesn’t work in canadaTrash.Version: 9.4.2
✓ Used to be great...SoundHound used to be great. It would find any song, you were able to type in some lyrics and find the song you were looking g for. I bought a lot of music from songs i found here. But something has changed with this app. Today i was trying to find (once again) a song i remembered by Earth Wind and Fire. When i typed it in, i didn’t even get the artist. I got a handful of songs, most of which weren’t even sung by them. The album section had 2 of their albums and a bunch of karaoke albums. WTH! where are songs? Where are the dozens of albums they’ve made? What is going on? After using this app for years do i have go looking for a decent music app? I am not happy about this. At all..Version: 8.8
✓ At first a great app that has now lost its wayOriginally it was a good app and it was pretty good at delivering what it said in the tin. As they added more and more useless features they lost their way. A map to see what hot around the world? Who cares. The hottest music on earth? Who cares. Social features? What for? As a result the interface is confusing and ‘discoveries’ are poorly laid out. They used to have the date and time when they were discovered. Now all it says is “1 wk ago” which is useless. Keep it simple and useful and just be great at doing the one thing people want you to do..Version: 8.9.5
✓ Doesn’t workOne song was found in ten trials, humming, whistling or singing..Version: 9.7
✓ Scam appLike the user in the last review said - this app won’t actually identify songs for you. When clicking the “search” option, a “record/listen” button appears (similar to Shazam), however the button is replaced by ads after around 1 second, so that you end up clicking on the ad rather than the record button. At best this is a serious bug that prevents use of this app’s sole USP/functionality; at worst it’s intentional scamming/phishing..Version: 9.5.2
✓ Don’t waste your timeBiggest waste of time. Humming whistling singing nothing works. I even purposely tested lyrics from a song I know and it says “this app is 💩”.Version: 9.4.2
✓ Sorry we couldnt find that oneUseless! Only finds a fraction of the music I search for! If you like mainstream music then you will probably have better chances! But good luck if you like anything other than mainstream! I listen to a lot of chillout music and sometimes there is a playlist on the channel I listen to! So I take a screenshot of the playlist and then search for the song with soundhound! “Sorry we couldnt find that one” So I try the next song so that I know which one it is on the playlist so that I can count backwards from that song to the one I was actually looking for! But again… “Sorry we couldnt find that one” Etc etc etc… Every once in a blue moon it will actually find a song though… wohooooo! Ya whatever XD Good for mainstream! Useless for anything else!.Version: 9.7
✓ Hate ItGave this app a second chance and still hate it. Trying to listen to a found song is a nightmare - get stuck in a loop demanding sign up. Rubbish..Version: 8.1
✓ Starting to go downhillI work in music. I use this app constantly. The ‘improvements’ are fun and all, but the main purpose of this app is to identify music, right? Many moons ago, that part worked. As of a few updates ago, when I do as I’ve always done with the app, all of a sudden, songs that should be recognizable in seconds take two tries. Songs that DO get recognized don’t show up on the screen, and the app tries to identify all over again, and if I don’t manually check my history after every individual go, I end up with two copies of everything, or nothing at all. This is infuriating. Please work on the original algorithm because what’s happening isn’t cool, and if it continues, you’ll find that more people, including me, uninstall..Version: 9.3.2
✓ Limited ValueIt will find the song but ONLY if it is 1) a major pop hit, 2) exactly as the original hit, 3) and there are absolutely no other sounds. It will not identify cover versions of songs or anything that is not a major mainstream hit, or even different edit of a major pop hit. As someone who listens to Americana, folk, and roots music, it mostly blanks on the song I hope to identify. I had a Google song finder app on Pixel 2 several years ago that picked up songs that I could barely hear in the background and it also identified cover versions and more obscure tunes. This app needs some serious upgrading to be truly useful..Version: 10.2.2
✓ Use to love it but now it’s junkI use to love this app. Now I can’t get it to know ANY of what is playing. Tried deleting and reinstalling it but no changes..Version: 10.2.3
✓ Formerly GreatI loved this app until recently when it became progressively less able to recognize songs. Now it misses chart topping rock and pop songs pretty much every time. Same with TV show soundtracks. Maybe one in ten or twenty searches will succeed. I truly hope this will be fixed..Version: 10.2.2
✓ Can’t find Japanese songsCan’t find Japanese songs at all, maybe only works for English songs.Version: 10.2.2
✓ Doesn’t identify any songs anymoreI try and identify with billboard top 20 tunes from the 70s and 80s. None detected. Is the back end down?.Version: 10.2.2
✓ I Agree With Schimmityweb . . .I totally agree with Schimmityweb Dude!!! Because for sometime now it seems they play this game of keeping up with the latest app features causing customers the one to ( PAY )for it (the Proverbial sense of paying for it). I’ve been with this app since nearly the beginning if not, and I have over the years written support regarding the change that has taken place with regards to lyrics. Especially when that was a feature that heavily touted when the app first started up. And that feature in itself was one of the main reason I signed up and have tried to maintain loyalty to the app / SoundHound. But I guess the loyalty aspect is only one way. I should be loyal, but they don’t have to because there is always someone else to take my place. A sign of the times. But is it really asking to much to have an app that delivers the title of the song and the right lyrics as the core of the service no matter what else is enhanced or added to that service??? In my opinion the core of the service should NOT be lost because of updates or add-ons’ or enhancements..Version: 8.3
✓ TerribleDoes not work and know nothing about songs!!!.Version: 9.7
✓ Too many annoying notificationsBetween the ads and the dumb notifications, I don’t see the point. Particularly as Siri does quite well with song recognition now anyways..Version: 9.4.2
✓ Love it when it’s workingI have loved this app for a decade. As of late it can’t find any songs. I have started looking for songs I know to test it. No humming either. Sad, I hope it’s fixed soon..Version: 10.2.2
✓ Legit hasn’t worked for me in monthsNot sure why but even if I blast speakers next to it, just says can’t identify a song. Piece of poop.Version: 10.2.3
✓ New update ruined it.I always thought this was better than Shazam. But I’m switching back. Before this app would immediately pop up lyrics for whatever you were listening to (which was probably the highlight of this app in my opinion), but not anymore. They’re now trying too hard to keep up with this thing everyone is doing when they talk to their devices. Which I think is dumb, unnecessary, and a trade down from previous features. Now they’re persistent on having you make an account and attach your Facebook and a bunch of unnecessary crap. I just want to know what song I’m listening to, and I’d like the option to see what lyrics go with it! That too much to ask for?!.Version: 8.0.2
✓ Great until recentlyI have used this app literally for years. It was one of the first apps I downloaded when I first got a smart phone, and I used it all the time. It always gave me accurate results when I wanted to identify a song. More recently however, the app has become increasingly unreliable. I will try to identify a song and the app will claim that it can’t find an internet connection, or it will return some completely unrelated song as a search result, or it will just straight-up not work. It’s extremely disappointing. After so many years of using SoundHound, today I took note of all the songs I’d discovered in my history and uninstalled the app. I’m sad that I can’t rely on this program anymore... but I would rather use a program that works more than 10% of the time..Version: 9.5.2
✓ SometimeFinds about 50% of songs! Not the greatest.Version: 10.1
✓ Used to be good. Paid users now have adsPaid for this before. Now it’s showing ads and asking for another payment. Restoring purchase does not work either. Yet another app that “goes” free and shows ads - even for previous users..Version: 10.2.2
✓ What a JokeIt never finds the song lol what a joke.Version: 9.2.1
✓ Doesn’t recognise basic lyricsThis is useless. I haven’t had it recognise a thing. I gave it the whole chorus to one song, just to try, and nothing..Version: 9.0.3
✓ JunkThis app was amazing, ive been using it since it cane out, but the recent update is a major step back. The feature to buy straight from itunes seems to have gone which is what made this app amazing. Now also covered in ads, i understand the developers need to make money, but with a product that was good you should be getting proper contracted deals, not wrecking the app with ads.Version: 9.0
✓ Used to love appUsed to love this app. Now it can’t seem to find any new songs.Version: 10.2.2
✓ Used to be greatI have had to revise my opinion of this app. I have been using it for years and it was great. But recent updates have left it unable to find even popular songs. Also they have added the sentence “ahh 💩we couldn’t find that one” . Really how old are they. Going to delete it and find an app that works. It truly is a shame as this was my go to app..Version: 9.4.2
✓ Somethings BrokenHave been happy with this until a couple of weeks ago. It stopped recognising music. Would just search and not find anything. Blogs say SoundHound doesn’t know the reason for this and suggest delete and reinstall. I was a bit nervous about this as I had dozens of songs in my search history to add to my music service. But I (thought) I had an account as I was “logged in” on the app. So I deleted and reinstalled. “Logged” back in. No history. Went only to their website - no capability to log in to an account. I’ve no idea what the situation is, but all my history is lost. Even now, it doesn’t launch search using the widget as it used to, and it takes two or 3 searches to recognise a track. Not happy..Version: 9.5.1
✓ Dumb greedI used this app for years and it was great for last minute tunes you want to know about or tunes that is at the end and you want to find out who the artist is but now recently they have video advertising that totally kills the whole functionality of this app. So u heard a song u want to know who it is, u open this app u click on the listen button and instead of it listening to see who the artist is you get a video ad that plays while ur missing the opportunity to know what song and who the artist is. This is where something good becomes something bad. I know they have to make money but this totally kills the whole reason why the app was created. What’s wrong with regular type non-video ads..Version: 8.9.3
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreI’ve used this app since it first came out I don’t know how many years ago. It was way better than any other similar app. Haven’t used it over a year and trying it now it can’t find any song. What happened.Version: 10.2.2
✓ Was a gem, now it’s rubbishI keep getting errors, or “are you humming”, only occasionally works (eventually). What happened to this excellent app??? Time to delete it....Version: 9.4.9
