## SoundHound Reviews in United States

### *---- "What happened?"
I used to love this app, it always knew what song I was listening to. These past couple of months it can’t identify anything, I used to be so proud and show it off. Now I find myself looking for something else. So sad because I’ve used this app for years
-- JulieS927, 2024-12-28

### *---- "App no longer works…I guess they’re DONE!"
For the last month, the app won’t return any search results whether I tap the ‘listen’ button or I type something into the search bar. App Support won’t connect either. I guess this app is DONE.
-- femnav, 2024-12-23

### ***-- "Search bar hasn’t worked in months"
See title. Nothing comes up regardless of if it’s an artist name or song name. At least the audio search still works
-- The one who cares, 2024-12-22

### **--- "SoundHound"
Doesn’t recognize half the songs on the radio.
-- WaynesWorld2.0, 2024-12-20

### *---- "What happened?"
Back in the day this app used to be the greatest party trick, "you wanna know the name of the song that's playing, watch this!" Now it never identifies anything, like basic songs playing on a tv show. Did the developers just give up on it?
-- Alf!, 2024-12-19

### *---- "App does not work"
Every time I try to use it, it simply directs me to the exact same song over and over again, no matter what’s playing. Completely unhelpful.
-- Quet00, 2024-12-15

### **--- "Disappointed. Do not recommend."
I’m really disappointed. I do not recommend this at all.

When I installed SoundHound I thought it would be an app similar to Shazam which I can’t install, since it requires iOS 16. But when I tried it out I realised that it barely recognises any of the songs, unless they are extremely famous. I’m giving it 2 stars because it does recognise some of the songs, but if this is just a bug I highly suggest it gets fixed
-- Star248000, 2024-12-10

### *---- "I hate that I'm leaving this one star review"
This app used to be so good that I could have barely a second of audio and it would just plain know what the song was. Now it's so rare that it actually functions that it's almost insulting.
-- CaffeineCarl, 2024-12-07

### ***** "Playlist stops"
It's the best music app I've had so far, The only problem is that when I open another app my music stops and I keep having to the app for it to play. I would really appreciate it if the developer or developers of SoundHound looked into this issue and fixed it for me or got back to me and told me how to fix it please, Thank you!😊
-- glamourgirl1😊, 2024-12-03

### *---- "What happened?"
This app used to be so good and helpful. Now it doesn’t recognize very many songs at all. It doesn’t recognize covers and it really doesn’t recognize a tune if I hum it or sing it. Please fix this app. I am seriously considering looking for an alternative and deleting this one.
