Music content unmatched. App is ok but the car app is not, crashes a lot

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2026-08-23, version 8.74.0*

I get that you guys are getting paid for playing ads, but does it have to be after every 2 songs? And they just have to be the most annoying ads I’ve ever heard, it feels like they’re all up and talking straight into my ears when I’m wearing AirPods. Please stop playing ads so much

### 5/5 — Underground.

*2026-08-23, version 8.74.0*

### 1/5 — Shell of former glory

*2026-08-23, version 8.74.0*

So let me get this straight. I have poor connectivity, so you cant load my music. That makes sense to me, i understand that. But then you go off and give me 2 minutes of adds? How can you not load my music then proceed to give me the most annoying advertisements known to man?
But I digress; why? Sounds like plain greed to me. 
While I’m here, who came up with over 90 seconds of adds? Soundcloud was great when the queue was able to skip adds, then tall removed that. Then you gave me an unbearable amount of adds. I love soundcloud, but I hate the people in charge.

### 1/5 — Bugs and glitches

*2026-08-23, version 8.74.0*

My Soundcloud playlist will randomly start scrolling through all my songs non stop - please fix asap

### 1/5 — Corporate, please go back to the drawing board

*2026-08-23, version 8.74.0*

There’s clearly a leadership problem at corporate. The user experience has fallen so low, i honestly lost respect for this app. The type of ads, the timing of the ads, the amount of ads. I’ll keep closing out the app every time I get an ad. Not gonna reward your greed when you won’t even give users a decent free experience. Shopify is better

### 1/5 — Downhill

*2026-08-22, version 8.74.0*

The apps recommended songs are so awful. Its like AI Is picking them for me and it doesnt feel personalized anymore. I pay for the plus version so itd be nice to reap the benefits????

### 1/5 — Worst ads on the internet

*2026-08-22, version 8.74.0*

Doesn’t even let me make an account, thinks I’m a robot

### 1/5 — Can’t even listen offline

*2026-08-20, version 8.74.0*

Remains in the stone era of music apps nowadays

### 1/5 — Always oops?

*2026-08-20, version 8.74.0*
