  • Adding music

    For the longest time when I would look something up it was added to my library. For some reason that does not happen any my. I checked my settings and according to the all my settings it should still add to my playlist. Just wish it still did.
  • The Best Music App

    I have been using Midomi since the app store first opened. It has progressed well over the years.

    It’s way better than my friends Shazam. SoundHound is accurate the majority of the time. I have music contests with my friends and this app always beats Shazam at finding remixes! And if it can't catch the remix, it shows you the original song.

    If you’re not on a network, or WiFi, it saves the snippet of the song & when you’re connected again, you can search the database at a later time.
    Love it!

  • What’s happened

    Used to be great but lately I have had to use Shazam. SoundHound just doesn’t recognize songs, volume not high enough, maybe....it’s just become unreliable. Too bad because I didn’t want to use Shazam.

    It’s a 50/50 sometimes too late to grab song because it takes long to open then this crap about flipping through juke box and 8 tracks....while searching isn’t cute to me. App takes to long to open.

    I would highly recommend try b4 u buy. I used to try SoundHound first but lately I just go straight to Shazam.

  • Not what it used to be

    What used to be my favorite music ID app is no more. It used to open and ‘listen’ immediately but now it’s slow and rarely finds even the most popular of songs on the first try. I mean, seriously, can someone please tell me why it thinks I’m humming a song when my phone is right next to the speaker?? Every time. Maddening. Also, the ease of finding album info has been imbedded too deep. Just not what it used to be.

  • Doesn’t work anymore

    This used to be a great app, fast and accurate. The most recent “updates” have killed it. I can’t get it to identify anything, even well known songs. To test it, I put the phone right next to the speaker, silenced all other sounds in the room, and played Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” After churning for 30 seconds, the app told me it had no idea what song it was (comparison: Shazam nailed it in under 2 seconds).

  • ❤️ SoundHound Infinity!

    2020 Update: Love its ability to save song clips when I’m out and about and allow me to look up later. Then I can save the song/artist to my favorites list for future reference. Only one thing: it’s now in portrait-mode only; please make it in landscape mode also for iPad use! That said, best of its kind and highly recommended.

  • The best but latest version is broken.

    Love SoundHound but the most recent version gives "no music heard" or "we can't find that one" errors. Delete & reinstall it and it works till you quit then stops again. But hey, all the new Apple Music banner ads run just fine (please get rid of the banners). And unless I'm missing something there's no way to turn off the super-annoying Ok Hound, which pops up at random times. This app is starting to get eroded with crappy decisions. Apple/Shazam will crush you if you don't get it sorted.

  • Used to be 5 star

    Maybe a year or two ago I would have rated this 5 stars.

    I was able to play songs from my library and have live lyrics pop up. That feature appears to be completely gone which is definitely a shame
  • Won’t let me select and play a video

    What a joke! This recent update on SoundHound won’t let me play a video with my songs under discoveries or favorites. Specifically, this recent update won’t let me select one particular song that is featured in any album or videos associated with that particular song. The old updates were much better than the latest update because you can choose what song you want to play along with other videos associated with the song you want to listen. Please, SoundHound, fix this problem and restore it to its former glory. I’ve been using this app since 2014.

  • Great Application!

    I have had SoundHound for years. Started with the free version but quickly got the paid version. It was $4.99 and worth every penny. It may cost more nowadays, I think maybe $6.99 but it is easily worth $10. During the years I have used it, SoundHound has gotten better with updates and, it has never been buggy. I have used it to identify hundreds, perhaps thousands of songs. It has a live lyrics feature and you can access your music library from the app. I like the SoundHound playlist feature that creates a playlist on Apple Music and automatically adds songs identified by the app to the playlist. I can go on and on but I will only add that if you’re into music, at least try the free version. It limits the number of songs you can look up but you will see how well it works. I use it all the time to identify songs on the radio or on TV shows. If you get the paid version, and use it, you won be disappointed.
