User reviews

This app was great at one time but it definitely has been lacking since these recent updates. Lost all of my music I found after logging into my account, sample videos won't play on YouTube because it says it needs an "Update Version" of Youtube (even though the Youtube app is updated through the Google Playstore), the app doesn’t recognize songs from radio airplay even if it's classic songs, app constantly crashes, etc. 1 star is being too generous, this app deserves a negative star or two

Used to work great. I tried sharing a song I had in my history through my email app and it wouldn't work. Got an error message from SoundHound that said there was a bug in the SoundHound app. It also shows titles twice in my history and when I try to delete one, it won't remove it from my history for some reason.

Marion Wingfield, 2024-11-13

I loved this app, and then suddenly, it won't go to youtube to play the song. Gives an error message. Contacted soundhound support and was told they were working on the issue. It's been at least a month. It still doesn't work, and customer support hasn't provided an update of status.
