SoundHound - Music Discovery

SoundHound is an absolutely terrible app, and I can't stress this enough. First off, its song recognition is a joke. How can an app that's supposed to identify music fail so miserably? I mean, even when you play a crystal-clear snippet of a popular song, it still manages to get it wrong half the time. It's beyond frustrating. And don't even get me started on its database; if the song isn't mainstream, forget about it. It's like the app is stuck in a time warp with a limited selection of tracks it can recognize. Then there's the user interface, which is a complete nightmare to navigate. It's cluttered, confusing, and loaded with ads that slow everything down. Seriously, who thought this design was a good idea? Trying to find what you need feels like wading through a swamp of unnecessary menus and pop-ups. The constant interruptions from ads make the entire experience unbearable. It's like the developers prioritized ad revenue over user experience, and it shows. And let's talk about the so-called additional features. The lyrics are often wrong or incomplete, which is just ridiculous. How hard is it to get the lyrics right? And the artist information? Outdated and sparse. It's like they don't even care about providing accurate or comprehensive details. This app had so much potential, but it's been squandered by poor execution and a lack of attention to detail. SoundHound is a colossal disappointment, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

So, my wife and I are music fiends; grew up on it, love most genres - well, except country but that’s for personal reasons no room to explain - whenever a song is played on a tv show or movie - or anywhere really - that catches our attention, we love to use our phones to find out who the artist is and song name. Well, we once used this app years ago; but as apps and space became an issue it sadly went away. Mainly because hey, “Siri has the same feature right?” Let me tell you this people: Siri has digressed in many ways since it’s period of amazing us. When Siri continues to take FOREVER to reply to the simple request of identifying the song - no, this is not a WiFi or network issue as most of you will agree - the song is OVER or the cutscene where the song is used is long gone and Siri still is identifying....well, we’ve had enough. This app is great, always has been. We are happy with its features and will NOT be using “you know who” for those requests anymore...or most other things these days...but that’s a different story. Great app keep up the good work developers!

LOVE this app. I use it all the time both for trying to remember a song I knew but forgot the artist or a new song that catches my ear. I have been a SoundHound users since what feels like the beginning. They have proven to be consistent and reliable. Which is quick and accurate results. One of the main reasons I love SoundHound is for the feature that no other app features. Which is live lyrics! That is by far one of the coolest most useful things about SoundHound! Being able to sing along (rather badly) with either a fav song or even a new song im obsessed with learning the lyrics to, the app is there for me :). SoundHound I felt has always tried to give the user what they want. Realizing its difficult to please everyone, I for one have been a very happy and satisfied customer since its launch. I tried the "other" guys and they were just too commercial for me. SoundHound was the right balance of finding new music without pushing the sales-y part of the music industry onto me. I love it for its accuracy, its fast results, and giving me MORE if I chose to know more. Its all there. Keep up the good work guys!
