Leave a Review SoundCloud
Disappointed but holds a place in my heart
I love SoundCloud coz I’ve been using it literally since elementary school, but it’s gone down hill. First, when you shuffle your playlist, it’s like the app has pre made shuffle lists from your playlist so it plays the same songs in the same order. I noticed this way too much so I tested this by writing down the sounds that would play, then a few days later I’d shuffle my list and it matched. That’s really dumb and annoying and I don’t understand why that’s a feature, if my playlist being shuffled like that is simply by chance then that’s crazy, but if it’s the app then why? Second, ads: before I didn’t mind the ads, but now when using the mobile app if an ad plays while you’re on the app, you’re forced to watch/skip the ad because it won’t play off the app in the background. That was not a thing a few years ago, why SoundCloud ): y’all are the OG and the prime spot for finding new artists and got exclusively unique songs from artists so I’ll always love the app but these reasons have caused me to switch to Apple Music <\3Show less30852251888
Casting Music Button is Very Broken
Much of my SoundCloud music listening is done through casting music to my multiple chrome cast supported speakers throughout my home the button in the upper right hand corner used to cast music is so difficult to press! I tap on it about 15 times before it recognizes that I’m trying to tap on it, instead of having it think I’m pressing around it (which causes my music to pause and play over and over again)
I’m also unable to adjust the volume on my speakers when connected through chrome cast by using the ‘volume up’ and ‘volume down’ buttons located on the side of my phone. I instead have to use the remote for each of my speakers to do so. I’ve used other music applications that allow me to cast music to my chrome cast supported speakers, that allow me to use my phone to adjust the volume on the speakers using the side buttons on my phone.
The last issue is that the music player for SoundCloud doesn’t appear on my phone when it’s locked. I’m not sure why this is?Show less67288)))$:&@)(5ggffffhhhhsss
Used to be great listening on my phone but now...
November 2021 update: App is working much smoother! currently 4.8 stars.
Pros: -helps me find a great songs -my oldest and trusty music app Cons: -on my phone (which I use 99.9%time now)not good anymore... sometimes frequent 1min ads like after 4 songs -new privacy policy looks like a privacy concern. -liked playlist (and longer lists) has lag problem where it takes 5min to scroll down. (iPhone) -music just stops when service stops (used to hold a few songs in RAM when you go intermittently offline. That was good, especially driving mountain roads) -app checks my location every minute. Draining my battery Interestingly It’s been great until the major update a few years ago and then continuously progressively making app worse/lagging with each update. Like why. Currently at 2 stars, I’ll update review laterShow lessLord Vafa
I did not give permission to renew this APP
I got a free trial. When that free trial was up, or even before it was up I removed it!! So why a month or 2 later when I buy an Apple pay card are you thieves going to charge my Apple Pay card? I don’t even have this app downloaded to my phone. I already reported it & I want my money back. This app was junk anyway. No offense but it even gives directions to go by to renew it. I never did. App is not even on my phone & they took it upon themselves to take $5-6 off of my Apple pay card. Now I have to wait 48 hours to see if they will refund my moneys? I’m poor so every dollar counts. I notice I’d 1$ is missing. I reported it & if I do not get a refund I will be contacting an attorney. Yes! Over 5.99! Why? Because I got that card to use TJ buy more I cloud, & not to pay for an app I am not even using nor is is downloaded to my phone anymore. Wanting to all, do not download this app with the free trial. Because even if you cancel it & remove from your phone as soon as you get money on any card you are using, they will take money out!!!! I want a refund & I want it ASAP! I can’t even enjoy my phone because I can’t even put cash more I cloud because of this!! Can’t even do the update on my phone I need to do because I there’s no space or GB’s to do it! Could do it if I could pay for more iCloudShow lessLittleJess27
Unfortunately, just not worth it anymore.
A couple years ago I would’ve given 10/5 stars if I could. But nowadays, there’s so many advertisements that it makes listening not even worth it. I completely understand the reason for advertisements & for a long time, I could put up with them. However, I just used SoundCloud for the first time in maybe a year. THERE IS 2 ADS BETWEEN EACH TRACK.
Back when I used to use SoundCloud for all my music, I’d have to put up with an occasional ad or two every 4-6 songs. But now it’s simply unbearable. I’m not exaggerating when I say I just logged onto SoundCloud & the first 4 tracks I played, I got 2 ads in between each. It was frustrating after the 2. Annoying after the 3rd. Infuriating after the 4th & I didn’t stick around for the 5th.
I’ve been using audiomack as of late. I’d recommend that to anyone who doesn’t have music specifically on SoundCloud. I know that’s the reason I used SoundCloud so much. A lot of the underground artists would start on SoundCloud and their music would then find its way to other platforms. But I just can’t do the ads anymore.
If you suggest paying for SoundCloud, why would I? The search engine all the way to the user experience is just terrible. Anyway, just my opinion. Happy listening, all!Show lesstoneytone24
Soundcloud is okay... but could use work in certain areas!
soundcloud is great i’ve always loved it but there’s so many songs that i can’t listen to because i don’t pay money every month??? there’s other apps i could download for music where i can listen to any song i want to, all of my friends and everyone i’ve talked to about it say that they don’t use soundcloud for this reason. my loyalty for soundcloud lies deep but i’m getting really annoyed every time i fall in love with a song and can’t put it on my playlist. i know for a fact that if this changed, so many more people would use soundcloud. or at least drop the monthly price down, i bet a large percentage of people that use soundcloud are 14-25 years old... people at this age generally don’t make as much money as the average person yet- due to being in high school and only having a part time job, or in college with a part time job trying to pay off student loans. not only would it make people happy, but it might be good for soundcloud’s benefits too!!!Show lessbekehehb
SoundCloud is being slow/Loading Error...Tap to try again
I just want to say that I love this app so much, I use SoundCloud like 24/7! It is my favorite because not only do I love listening to the music I like, but I also happen to upload my own songs on there as well. My only issue with this is app is that it’s been lately being very slow on my phone. Whenever I go on SoundCloud nowadays it’s acts like one of those old computer machines that people would try to use back in the day, or it is also kind of like using an old phone because it runs very very slow on my phone. Also, I have been experiencing lots of loading errors on each song whenever I want to shuffle music on SoundCloud on my phone. Some work and then some just don’t want to work, and it is very strange because it hasn’t done this to me before. If there is any way that this issue can be fixed, please fix it so that I won’t have this problem at all anymore. Thank you so much!Show lessraz_davidov
Great Music App!
This app is really great for studying, and doesn’t require a subscription just to use like other music apps do. Although there is a SoundCloud Go+ subscription to unlock more creator features and listen to premium tracks, the base experience is enough for small time creators and casual listeners. One feature I would love implemented is the ability to rearrange playlists that you’ve either created or saved. I like everything to be organized, and sometimes scrolling down to an old playlist I still use often, would be better served at the top of my list. One bug I’ve also noticed, is that sometimes the comments don’t appear, when opening the comment window. Sometimes two or three comments are listed by the little text bubble icon, but pulling up the comments just tells you that “this track doesn’t have any comments.” Apparently it’s been an issue for awhile, so I assume it will be fixed sometime soon. Thanks for reading!Show lessCalyde44
Great
I been on SoundCloud for at least 5 and a half years and it’s awesome. There was at times bugs where I request songs to be in a playlist but rarely it crashes while doing so. Another thing is that there is a gimmick where there is songs that have like a “star” symbol or a premium song where you have to pay to listen for monthly cost. But not only you can listen to these premium songs, you can put download playlist for out of service ordeals. I would say the major downfall for this streaming service app is that I have to type the right perfect word for a song title, artist, or even a album in the search bar. If I misspelled a word, it would give me a totally different result of music or even no result at all. Therefore, I have to make sure to make more of a tension to spell the word of the song and such throughly. But other than that, I’ve been using the app at first free but I decided to pay monthly because I’ve been traveling more often now so it makes since of downloading songs. I recommend using this app. I’ve been previously using grooveshark until they shut down in 2015 then I switched over to SoundCloud.Show lessKyo Byboshi
Pls change this one thing
I always used SoundCloud and it’s been what I use to listen to music since 8th grade and now I’m a year out of school. It’s always been a really cool platform and i don’t plan on stop using it. But there’s one thing that bothers me. VIDEO ADS. If an ad comes on while your on the app maybe u were jus on there to pick a different song and a video ad comes on, if u get out of the app the ad stops and u can’t play it to get to your music the only way u can listen to it and get to your song is by staying in the app as the whole ad plays. PLEASEE change this. It gets really annoying when I’m doin something while listening to music and then when I want to change a song get an ad then I gotta sit there and actually watch the ad to get to my song. I don’t mind just listening to it in the background of what I’m doin but actually having to sit Thru it is a bruh moment. Please make these ads able to play in the background of whatever your doingShow lessBig boobie Bertha
