We need an update

theDazzlequeen on

United States

I love SoundHound over Shazam but Needs an update. Always saves tech or remix versions of the song instead of the original that’s being played. And often have to try a few times before it gets the song. And if it could be a little quicker sometimes the songs goes off after I’ve tried 2 times. It also has a hard time if there are other noises in the background when I’m out. My friends have tested with me on their apps and SoundHound is normally last to guess the song. I don’t want to switch I love it we just need an update

Worthless

The app doesnt actually download. It goes thru the motions, and when the icon appears, it asks to be downloaded again. The support link goes to a 404. Dont waste your time.

This app is terrible

William2060 on

United States

I used to use this app years ago with no problems but I heard a songs instrumental the other day and I redownloaded this app. The song I was listening is meet you by the graveyard by cleffy which at the time I didn’t know. This app kept saying it was my number one or you my number one by chief keef which I listened to the song and it sounds nothing like meet you by the graveyard. I re tested it 10 times same result and I downloaded Shazam it got it right instantly. Just download Shazam and don’t bother with this outdated app.

Gone downhill

Used to be good. Works less than half the time and barely recognises songs that Shazam does. And that is what I will be using.

What happened?

MDClingen on

United States

I’ve been using SoundHound for years and it’s been great. About a month ago, however, it stopped working and all I ever get is the message that SoundHound doesn’t know the song. Doesn’t matter what song it is, SoundHound doesn’t know it. What’s going on?

Usually Can't identify Songs

NicoleLC1 on

United States

I downloaded this app because of the reviews but it only ever identified maybe a fifth of the songs. I would constantly turn up my music and hold my phone closer but it usually didn't help. I deleted the app today and will try another one.

Idk.

Maya Whales on

United States

When I’m humming about the song that I was trying to find it kept saying “we couldn’t hear it or something like that” so it told me that I have to turn on my volume. So I did and when I hum the song that I was trying to find “it kept saying we couldn’t hear it”.

It works…sometimes

When this app works, it’s great. But it is unreliable.
