It’s not what it promises to be

Unfortunately, every time I use it, it could not identify the song. Weather was played on the radio, an MP3, or somebody was listening it. It’s always no hit.
Am I online? Yes.
Is the sound loud and clear? Yes.
Other other noises around? Sometimes.

Full of errors

It doesn’t work properly at all! Always errors and wrong results…
The big question is why it is pushing you to have your location for better results!!! That s ridiculous

Obsolete

SoundHound used to be great. It was the only app you could sing or hum and believe it or not it would identify songs like magic. However, apparently they couldn't keep up and slowly faded into irrelevance. The app is slow, buggy, and I can’t remember the last time it identified a song from humming. Open on Apple music? Sometimes works. Open on YouTube? On occasion works… I guess if you got a beef with Shazam you could in a pinch use it, but the fact is that after Apple acquired Shazam and made it native to iOS there is no real reason for SoundHound to exist.

Не работает!

Ничего не определяет. Шазам - сразу за секунду.

Struggling to identify

I will have music playing loud in my car or in a fitness class and it won't either recognize it or acts like nothing is playing

昔の方が精度が高かった

2017年頃だったろうか。初めて使った時は、ハミングだけでかなりの的中率だったのが、今では全く的外れな曲ばかりを拾い上げてくる。明確に変わったのは、Apple製のアプリに同様の機能が備わった時だったと記憶している。それぐらい一気に精度が低下した。

Garbage

This app is a piece of garbage. I have trouble working at all the time on my iPhone 13. The phone works just fine. This is the only app that has a problem. It used to work just fine. It doesn’t need an update. My phone doesn’t need an update. This app is just garbage. It stops working all the time and I’m sick of it! Then I can’t figure out what the song is before the song is over. Thanks for wasting my time and storage space!

Charging After All These Years?

I can’t believe after a decade, this app stopped working only to find out they want money now. Boooooo, SoundHound. No thanks.

trash

this garbage can never find a single song

Can't find anyone

Seriously - this app can't ID the simplest of songs. Meanwhile, Shazam is killing it

Criminals

They make you untick 100s of hidden boxes to avoid your data being stolen and sold to crooks

Lacks pip

Love this app. Best. One thing that refrains me from using it is the lack of pip.
This is a smartphone and always doing something so this would be a great feature.
Please implement it.
Thank you

Simply awful

This app has got to be the absolute worst song identifier on the Apple Store. Seriously, it just spins and spins and spins until it regretfully informs you that it can’t find whatever it is you’re looking for. Don’t waste your time.

Agreement

Same grumpy bear_ all right I forgot the numbers

Melhor que shazam

Excelenteeeeee. Uso desde sempre

What happened?

SH hasn't found a song in weeks. Lay the phone next to speaker? Nothing. Don't even ask it to find music without words (Impossible Germany - Wilco!) and Shazam found it in 5 seconds. SH could not find it after 3min

Having issues finding songs

App needs an update. Having issues getting to share songs on social media and doesn’t recognize songs.

So bad

I tried every song I even open songs from Spotify and it didn’t know anything.

以前に比べ楽曲検知しなくなってます💢

もう10年以上前から愛用してますが2020頃から検知能力が格段と劣化
何が起きてるんだろう
使えないアプリになってきてます
その理由をきちんと公表しないとユーザーは離れていくばかりだと思う
アップデートの度におすすめ楽曲とかが表示されますが
そんなことしてる場合じゃないでしょ
企業の誠実さを見せて欲しい
