LOVE THIS APP...I get to know WHO is singing & the Title Right then, You can download songs from them too. I choose to use another app, but I do tend to listen to what's in my Favorites list ..Hope Ya'll Enjoy !! I wouldn't use ANY other app !!

N70%
by N####:

This app was good before but now it's horrible! It doesn't matter how long you play the song (and that is not a thing that should be there. It should be designed to identify songs within seconds) and it won't identify it.

Worst interface I have ever ran into in my life. Couldn't find a way to stop it from auto playing, always shows notifications without a way to delete them. When you play a youtube song and you go full screen it just get stuck and the video takes years to load.

V70%
by V####:

The app continues to play songs and has no way of closing the damn thing. Always a notification on my screen which is so annoying...fix this ASAP ..it was not like this before..change the update..who thought that would be a good idea to never allow users to close it. If this is not fixed soon I will find another app.

Very easy to use and very helpful. Great job guys! I've had no problem yet and I've had this app for almost a year! Keep it up! Great app for all!

V70%
by V####:

*edit* came back to try it again... three years later and SoundHound still sucks. :( It finds *maybe* two percent of the songs I ask it to search. I've tried it with even the most popular contemporary music and it so rarely works, it's not even worth the space it takes up on my phone. Really, it's kinda the best advertising for Shazam... That's the app I ended up buying in the end

A70%
by A####:

I'm switching to Shazam. The latest update is causing serious battery drain on my Galaxy S6! I used it to find one song and ended with completely uninstalling it because it caused nearly 20% battery drain by silently running in the background.

T70%
by T####:

Fantastic fantastic app!! I very rarely rate any app because I'm usually too busy but this app was great before, with the most recent updates it's simply amazing. I use SoundHound with my Spotify account so not sure if that's having anything to do with my loving it but I love the new app so much I don't need any of the added things the upgraded app brings but I'm still going to buy it only because whoever made it is awesome and cares about the app and they actually really deserve it. I know I sound like the family of the developer but I'm so serious... it's that crazy wonderful. It's fast and away my most favorite app ever!

T70%
by T####:

IS it listening? It says Try Again but tapping the button does nothing. Then a giant ad pops up, but nothing else happens. I think they were so focused on the data mining portion they forgot to make the app work.

L70%
by L####:

I use it a lot to search titles of music I'm listening to and although it's good, probably about 1/3 of the time it doesn't recognize the songs. Maybe updating the database more would solve that!

X70%
by X####:

Tried to identify a piece of music. Couldn't get to the actual function of the app because of all the clutter and crap popping up and taking up most of the screen. What a piece of junk this is. Moving back to Shazam!

T70%
by T####:

Why the hell does it want my location and I doesnt find any music. I hummed a tune and it displayed the bloody battlefield 1942 theme. FRIKING BATTLEFIELD... I HUMMED SOMETHING NOTHING LIKE IT. Useless app

T70%
by T####:

It takes ages to load...and SH could not even ID a well known track. Also, why does it keep prompting other tunes?...that iam not remotely interested in, and the junk that goes with the app.…waste of time..thought Shazam was bad.

A70%
by A####:

Used to use A LOT but lately it's quite working. Keep getting message "Couldn't do you can connect to Soundhound." your search was saved to your search history so you can look it up again later. Uninstaller it

T70%
by T####:

reCapture doesn't work so can't send feedback. music recognition is generally really good but the player notification is persistent and seemingly impossible to close or switch off.

X70%
by X####:

Got an update about a month ago. Still doesn't recognize songs. Shazam and Google Play Music both identify songs 95% of the time whereas SoundHound works barely 5% of the time. ~Galaxy S7 Edge on T-Mobile network

R70%
by R####:

If you make the mistake of using their music player, there's no way to stop it unless you reboot the phone. Whether it's crappy UX or a bug they keep "missing", I'm installing.

Love this app. Has never steered me wrong. Great for those songs that are on the tip of your tongue but you just can't get...

T70%
by T####:

This was useful in the past, but I cannot seem to find a widget for use on my home screens? How annoying to have to wait for the app to open up then hit search again.. is it that hard to have a widget?

G70%
by G####:

This used to be my fav app. But I can't exit it any more plus the previews keep playing even if you pause them. It's so annoying

I70%
by I####:

Have always loved SoundHound, and will continue to use it. Very helpful when you hear a song and need to know the name. Plus it keeps your searches for you. I love that!

W70%
by W####:

This used to be my go to app for figuring out songs on the radio or in movies. But now it doesn't seem to be able to find anything ever, even popular songs all over the radio. Fix the app and I'll fix a better rating.

M70%
by M####:

Finally get App to work and half the songs I searched are gone from my history. AND 6 people tried the him or sing feature and not once did it come close. Shazaam is way better.

T70%
by T####:

This app is not a good at recognising some spot use to be. Once a song has been found cannot exit the app, had to switch off phone. App is too cluttered with the same irritating add to install the same app coming up and blocking the screen.

P70%
by P####:

Update 28May2017: brought up totally wrong artist and song several times. But SHAZAM got it right. Didn't even get OMD. Out of about 12 songs I tried to get info on it only got the one I didn't need, a somewhat obscure Thomas Dolby song--but his voice is so distinct it was easy. Very disappointing.

T70%
by T####:

I love this but I have to use the id now widget instead of the app button because it takes to long to load on the app itself. But other wise love it.

T70%
by T####:

I used to love this app, but I just got the galaxy s8, and it won't open. I click the app and it force closes. Uninstalled and reinstalled twice, and still nothing. Very disappointed.

T70%
by T####:

This app is amazing! I hummed a very short portion of a song and it correctly recognized it! Kudos to the technology!

T70%
by T####:

This is terrible. More and more songs just kept popping up and started playing randomly. I just wanted an app that identifies songs this is not it at all. Uninstalled. Don't waste your time getting this app.

T70%
by T####:

You're my Brain on music and titles.When there's a song i hear, don't even know the artist from back in the days,it gives me all the informationPLUS lyrics.LOVING IT.

App used to be good, it used to load quick from start up and it was for me faster than shazam, now though its seems like snails are running in comparison to this app loading up.
