Not quite sure what's happened to this app. Often doesn't find even well known songs while Shazam does. They really need to ditch all the social media stuff and a timeline etc. Could have a better user interface too.

J70%
by J####:

Update: never recognizes new songs and have been turning your Shazam. Shazam funds songs much faster as well. Paid for SoundHound infinity only for it to be a near useless app to have. 2012: Love it way more than shazam

N70%
by N####:

Used to love it. Now I hate it. Can't disable "ok hound" - which sucks - and can't get out of videos once the app starts playing one. Just stupid.

R70%
by R####:

App is great at finding most music, can be annoying when it struggles with current songs. Biggest annoyance is that it no longer connects with spotify, it keeps saying that it has lost the connection with it. Very frustrating as it was working great up until a few days ago. Still, app stores my searches so I can find the songs at a later date so no biggy.

J70%
by J####:

Im annoyed I had to make an account to see my history after paying 3x more than the Shazam app. Totally unnecessary. Make it clear what "features" paying for the app will get you if you are STILL going to lock us out of the history without an account. You also never need my location so stop asking...it makes me question giving you access to my microphone.

R70%
by R####:

All the gimmicks+ fancy features in the world are useless if it doesn't identify a song . Recently it fails more often than it succeeds .

Used to be amazing. Now it crashes every few minutes after the latest update.

Awesome! Well worth the money. Way better than shazam. Lyrics! A widget? How cool is that! Works great.

Worth the upgrade, makes the best music identifier even better.

Great App!!!!

R70%
by R####:

Recognises most music that I throw at it. So works as advertised, but my big bugbear is the lyrics, I can't find a way to correct or suggest changes to lyrics! They are often wrong! One example : Daft Punk - Get Lucky 'so let's raise the bar and our cups to the stars' 'the present has no ribbon' It just happens to be on right now, but there should be a way to correct or suggest changes to lyrics. 'so let's raise the bar, in our course to the stars' 'the present has no RHYTHM' God who would think the present has no ribbon and why would anyone care?

M70%
by M####:

Why does the Spotify icon disappear all the time? The only reason I paid for this app was for the Spotify sync feature and it doesn't work properly. I want my money back.

Not sure why all the hate for this app... SoundHound is the best!

R70%
by R####:

Takes too long to load on my Note 3. First song I searched for came up empty. On the second attempt, Sound Hound came up with an incorrect title. I had to use Shazam to get the correct title. Problem is, I paid for this app while I'm using the free version of Shazam. Maybe I purchased the wrong app.

R70%
by R####:

This app wouldn't suck so much, if it had a decent library! What good is it if it doesn't have EVERY, song in it's library! The whole purpose of this app is, song identification! If if it doesn't know EVERY song it has NO purpose! This app sucks... EPICALLY! ...And I paid for mediocrity! ????

by R####:

This is been a great app since I purchased it a few years ago but somehow these bugs you need to get rid of them. The money I pay for this phone I better have internet connection

X70%
by X####:

Disgusting thieves. I paid for Soundhound Infinity back in the day. Now you make this free, and ask me to pay €5 AGAIN?! Pathetic, I should have gone with Shazam. Don't support these people! On top of this you merged the separate Hound app into this Frankenstein mess of an app. Corporate greed meets corporate stupidity.

R70%
by R####:

The icon shape is already round! There's no need to add a white round background on Google Pixel! That's ridiculous and ugly!

R70%
by R####:

What the hell I bought this app so that I can buy original songs But I can't buy any song because when I click on Google Play they say to me Install a web browsing app and set it up I am not understanding what's happening here

The best.

O70%
by O####:

What. the. Hell. I can't even do a simple search without having to ask it by voice? Not only that, but it keeps telling me there was an error and can't search for ANYTHING. What an absolutely useless app, and one I paid for. Oh look, after telling me that they have implemented the original search function I still don't have the ability to type in my search. Way to fail me... again. Get it together SoundHound!!!!

H70%
by H####:

Sound Hound was a great platform, Hound by itself didn't work all that well. Combining the two was not a good idea. I can no longer manually search. It only wants the spoken function. It went from being one of my favorite apps to one of the worst!!!

C70%
by C####:

This app has always been my favorite go to, so I can find what song I'm hearing or when I know the song and want to read the lyrics. But not anymore...why is there NO SEARCH BUTTON? There use to be. I'm looking and no button. I went through everything. Want to read lyrics to a song, because I'm in a place I can't play the song out loud. This disappoints me. Please fix or this app is useless to me. It still shows all the searches I did, 120 of them. But now I can't search without playing, singing, humming the song. And I paid for this app. For years I've been using, till now. It says you fixed and added the manual search back....WHERE???

Q70%
by Q####:

This USED to be my favorite paid app but not anymore, and have used for yrs. Anyone recommend a replacement ? Doesn't find music will either give error on start up or will search until my song is gone and never gives results.

by R####:

4x1 Widget still does not work with latest update. Used to be the best Song finder, now not so much. Samsung GS8+

R70%
by R####:

Just use Shazam. The recognition on sound hound is just way worse, so slow, often incorrect or unable to find anything.

E70%
by E####:

Great app that could be greater. Features requested 1. Sync and make SoundHound playlist on YouTube Red And Google play unlimited music app 2. Work with Android Wear 2.0 3. Work with both Gear Fit 2 Pro and Gear S3

M70%
by M####:

For songs that dont already have lyrics ready, hitting the "look up lyrics" button opens a browser search for it. The problem is, the browser is extremely laggy, it feels like my phone is going to crash and restart. Also needs a way to disable history/favorites. Or at least make an easier way than going through so many menus.
