Having to download to some other cloud service like Dropbox and then use another app to make the video AFTER downloading Soundstripe song is crazy z too many steps and tok much time ### 3/5 — So buggy *2025-06-18, version 1.3* I play playlists in the car to help me choose music. I listen for a few minutes and app becomes unresponsive almost every time. Or I’ll quit the app and it keeps playing in the background till I open it again. Please fix. ### 2/5 — FRUSTRATING FREEZING *2025-01-17, version 1.3* As much as I like the convenience of the app, it freezes, lags and you can’t do anything but close the app and restart countless times in a few. Fix you apps streamline use please, it shouldn’t be freaking out with every single tap… ### 4/5 — Great catalog of music *2024-12-19, version 1.3* I really like the Soundstripe platform. Has a great mix of genres including tons of songs with vocals. This platform was a great addition to my. 24/7 live streaming aquarium. The app is ok on my iPhone 12pro. It does lock up from time to time and I’ll force close for it to work again. Usually locks up when flipping through songs quickly. ### 3/5 — No Ladscape orientation?? *2024-11-11, version 1.3* Using this in an editing workflow is a little bit awkward. If I’m using da Vinci resolve or Final Cut on my iPad and I’m looking for music I have to detach it from my keyboard in order to look for music on Soundstripe app… please give us landscape orientation… then it will be five stars. ### 3/5 — Nice app - Needs work *2023-09-14, version 1.3* App would be much better if it didn’t automatically make you flip the iPad vertical every time. Typically edits are done with the iPad in the horizontal position, it is inconvenient to have to flip it to vertical every time I use the sound stripe app. Also would be great to have sound effects on the app, not just songs. SoundStripe, please take these suggestions into consideration! ### 3/5 — Great music, but app lacking *2023-03-15, version 1.3* I use for social media videos for my small business. I love the music but the app crashes regularly. After my annual fee is up, I’ll seek a different app ### 2/5 — Glitchy *2023-01-11, version 1.3* I love SoundStripe, but this app is awful. It’s glitchy and only works half the time. I have way better luck with the website ### 3/5 — Getting there *2022-12-14, version 1.3* Good app to begin with, there are still some freezing issues. When going to download music, it will sometimes “prepare” then nothing will happen, you have to close the app and reopen for it to work. ### 4/5 — Review *2022-12-12, version 1.2* It’s literally better than Spotify ### 2/5 — Screen goes black when browsing for music *2022-11-03, version 1.2* App works fine when you are at the main page, however had no luck with browsing page. The entire screen goes black when I try to browse for music. ### 2/5 — Soundstripe is great, but the mobile app is half finished *2022-09-23, version 1.1* You cannot find SFX playlists or search for SFX in the app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — CRASHES A LOT *2025-05-15, version 1.3* Every time I open it I have to force close it and reopen after just a few minutes because it freezes ### 1/5 — Stop charging my account *2024-07-12, version 1.3* I canceled this subscription, and I am not happy that you continue to pull money from my bank account…. ### 1/5 — C’mon guys…VERY glitchy. Basic stuff *2024-03-16, version 1.3* The screen just blacks out and freezes so I have to close the app and restart just for it to black out again. How is this not fixed yet? ### 1/5 — No customer service/ Can’t hear music *2024-02-06, version 1.3* I’ve had the app for a few months now. At first it was great. Recently, I haven’t been able to hear any of the music while I browse the app. Since I can’t hear anything I can’t select music for my content and it’s really holding things up for me. I sent 3 emails and nobody responded. There’s no other way to get ahold of anyone. I paid for a yearly subscription so I guess they just don’t care. With all the other options out there, I wouldn’t recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work 80% of the time *2023-09-15, version 1.3* I have songs saved in my favorites and 80% of the time I play them it’ll be totally silent. It’ll say it’s playing but no sound comes out. Using headphones, speakers, or my phone as the output doesn’t fix it. Really frustrating. Even force-quitting the app doesn’t fix it. ### 1/5 — Free isn’t free *2023-08-09, version 1.3* Hidden fee and expensive price only discovered after downloading, signing up, and finding the song I want. Hiding the end game is nefarious, frustrating, and 100% unreasonable. ### 1/5 — App is useless on iPad *2023-05-06, version 1.3* I will not use an app that doesn’t work in landscape. Update to landscape capabilities and I will re-rate, till then just useless in my workspace. ### 1/5 — Refuse to give a refund *2023-02-02, version 1.3* I would not recommend working with Soundstripe. Their customer service is awful, and they don't seem to stand behind their product and they’re not clear at all when they’re selling it. Most of the music they provide is mediocre, and their prices are too high for what you get. It's a ripoff. Save your money and go somewhere else. ### 1/5 — Keep freezing and crashing *2022-12-20, version 1.3* Unusable ### 1/5 — Ooph. Might Wanna Stick to the Web App *2022-08-30, version 1.1* Short Review: The app has less features than the web application, and it does not offer anything (like save locally [like YouTube’s download feature on YouTube Premium]) Huge fan of Soundstripe, but not the Soundstripe app. A lot of the key features present on the website are missing in the app. • Similar Song feature, not present • Filtering tracks at all, not present (that’s a big one!) • No access to the sound affects catalog at all I want to like it, but it’s honestly a set back from simply creating a shortcut for the web app and adding that to my home screen. I’ll keep it in my phone’s App Library and check back every once in a while to see if it actually becomes worth the space on my phone, but if it doesn’t, it’ll end up getting deleted–simply because the utility is not there. Ya know? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great! *2025-10-23, version 2.0.1* Good for twitch! ### 5/5 — Good Music *2024-06-15, version 1.3* When you just need the right sound. ### 5/5 — Aye *2024-04-27, version 1.3* Dope ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2023-11-10, version 1.3* This app is worth it if you want to take your content to higher level.

Completely free to make a account and download songs! 11/10! ### 5/5 — Simple. Responsive. Perfect. *2022-08-31, version 1.1* I’ve had a Soundstripe account for years because of their innovation and passion for this industry. This app is perfect for using on the go – browsing their library while on location or just bored and looking for inspiration. Very well done. ### 5/5 — Store owner *2022-08-27, version 1.0* Absolutely love Soundstripe!!!!! Thank You so much for a wonderful product and tool. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted from Soundstripe *2022-08-27, version 1.0* I’m a long time user of Soundstripe and the app makes it so much easier to take music with me to inspire my content! ### 5/5 — Convenience *2022-08-12, version 1.0* As a digital creator I usually had memberships to multiple site for royalty free music, video, sfx. That changed when I started using SoundStripe. I always had multiple memberships to have a wider variety of stock to use but now I just use one site and that’s SoundStripe. I was even more excited for the mobile app and it’s soft launch if great because their music selection is top notch. The curated playlists are simple yet always unique. Excited when they start adding stock video on here. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
