Work well
Although Soundhound works very well, sometimes it just can’t identify a song due to ambient noise or too short of a sample. Understandable. A very cool feature would be if the app recorded your failed attempts so you could play them back later, allowing you to keep the tune alive in your head. How about it?Show lessItsCosmo
Lcokscreen widget disappeared?? What’s going on
I’ve had this app for a really long time, and I’ve been supporting it since the beginning, since even before Shazam even existed, and was really enjoying the future of having it available for my lock screen with a widget, but suddenly that has disappeared, and I don’t even have the option to add it… What’s going on would really like some answers and support for this problemShow lessAshLilyNeko
Used to be Great
I've been using SoundHound for over 10 years now, and it used to be my go to song recognition app. Now for the past dozen times, it has failed to recognize songs that are easily identified by Shazam (built into Siri).
This used to hold premium real estate on both my Home Screen and Apple Watch complications. I never thought I would say this, but I'm finally retiring it for something that's more reliable.Show lessmkoye
I miss old functionality
I sure do miss the old functionality removed from SoundHound.
When I search a song, of course the first thing I want to know is what is it called and who is it by. Thats obviously there in every music ID app. I want to know about the song because I like it and its new to me.
Next I want to know what album its from. SoundHound USED to list all the places that song was released (all the albums, etc). REALLY useful when trying to buy it.
Also, I want to hear other music by that musician. SoundHound USED to show that—a nice list sorted by album.
SoundHound is not fast compared to the other “well known” music id app. In fact, it has a fairly regular problem of not even being able to “hear” the music in the room for some reason. You have to reboot to fix (if that fixes it at all). It keeps asking if u are “humming”. Nope—but the music is loud in the background and the “other” app hears it. Hasnt been fixed for a LONG time and is irritating because often the clip you are scanning is over before u can try again.
Live lyrics to sing along with used to be a big bonus feature only found here. Now lots do it.
I guess what I’m feeling is that unfortunately SoundHound is pretty much like every other app now—just orange colored instead of blue—so why wouldnt I pick the fastest, most reliable one?
Go back to being feature rich. Its why I paid for the full version originallyShow lessWazman64
Map feature gone?
The map feature was set this app apart from Shazam. I loved being able to pull up where I heard a song or to see what locations I visited that played great music. Sometimes it was just fun to make that connection between the place and the music you heard there. I noticed over the years that the location info was harder and harder to find like it was being phased out. Please bring this back!Show lessrossmky
One of my most frequently used apps
It must be over 10 years now I’ve used this app. I have nothing but good things to say. It’s been a very seldom time over the years that it didn’t pull up the song I was listening too, no matter how obscure. Did you ever find yourself hearing a song in a crowded place that brought back old memories but you never really knew who played it? This app has your back. Did you hear a song on a random tv show and really like it but never heard it before but you’d like to hear it again? This app will save it. And you can go over all of those saves at any point no matter how long ago you saved them. It’s like having an ongoing source recording the music score of your life documentary.Show lessNikothegreat
Had It Since It Was Free
And I bought the paid version because it is SO WORTH IT. Shazam gets a lot of marketing, but this BLOWS everything else out of the water.sweetbrown89
Maps Gone?
When did you guys remove the ability to show where I was when I searched for a song? I was trying to show a friend why he should spend the bucks on SoundHound over Shazam by demonstrating one of its coolest features - the map that shows where a song was “discovered” - but I couldn’t find it anymore. Why did you remove that?Show lessTkeva
I no longer like this
The app lost its ability to auto share to Facebook and then in the new update you can’t select it to connect to auto share. I like using it while I’m driving and the auto share feature was so nice. I don’t like it now because you gave to click on things to post. That’s dangerous while driving. I rarely use it anymore because of this.Show lessBearBoyd
Great App
Very good app. I have found lots of childhood songs with this app. Glad I found it. Only problem is it may think one song is another song. Not that annoying because it will eventually correct itself.RutglessBoy521
