Voice-controlled player

Published by: SoundHound

Description

Hey, what song is that? SoundHound makes it simple to identify music playing around you. Whether you’re in the car or out and about — open the app, hit the big orange SoundHound button, let your phone listen for a few seconds, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s playing! It's been called pure magic — and with 300M+ downloads and billions of songs discovered — we tend to agree.
SoundHound comes equipped with “Hey SoundHound…”, an incredibly powerful way to interact with the app using your voice. “Hey SoundHound…” can help you navigate the app, activate the orange button, and playback songs hands-free. Simply say ‘Hey SoundHound...’ from any screen and say a command!
Discovering new music is only half the fun of SoundHound. We’re music lovers too, so we’ve created an incredible experience for you to relive your discoveries with our music player. Connect your Apple Music or Spotify account to listen, build playlists, explore music across genres, and find new favorites - all with real-time, karaoke-style lyrics using LiveLyrics®.

SoundHound Reviews

Useless

Maclaten on

United Kingdom

Useless unless you pay.

Broken, no longer works

Matty Greaves on

United Kingdom

I’ve done two songs recently and can’t find either one :(

Simply the BEST.

coconutjungle on

United Kingdom

I hum songs from 14 years ago. I said HUMMING, mind you! Not even the real song, and I still found them! Thank you, Soundhound. You’re the best.

Didn't work

:( on

United Kingdom

Just as "accurate" as Shazam, but without even the "no that's not it" button. I get that looking up obscure music is hard, but I wouldn't be looking it up if it wasn't obscure.

What happened

Toe Black on

United Kingdom

I was very good at identifying what you were listening to. But now it’s useless, can’t even identify music that it has in the past.

It’s terrible

Soundhoundisass on

United Kingdom

Might have more songs than Shazam but can’t identify songs already on your phone I.e in a video whereas Shazam can. The app has to be openly on your screen and can’t be on in the background so is fairly useless.

US

Banditbiker1250 on

United Kingdom

Won’t find any songs since the recent IOS update 😡

It’s only for oldies nah offense

hibye,dkddkdkd on

United Kingdom

They didn’t have really popular songs like sprinter espresso and please please please

Now useless

ollie3674 on

United Kingdom

Doesn’t find a thing now. Used to be the best song finder out there and now you could play it the national anthem and it wouldn’t have a clue

Useless

Binderella on

United Kingdom

Rubbish
