User reviews

SoundHound app is praised for its broad song recognition capability, simple design, Spotify integration, and lyrics display. However, many users experience inconsistent song recognition, app crashes, login and account issues, and malfunctioning features following updates. Customer support is often unresponsive, leading to frustration. Despite setbacks, users value the history tracking and ability to identify obscure songs, though the recent performance decline and technical problems have diminished user satisfaction significantly.

Pros

Recognizes a wide range of songs including obscure ones and remixes.
Simple and user-friendly interface.
Integration with Spotify to add songs to playlists and keep history.
Useful lyrics feature with live lyrics display when functioning.
Keeps history of searched songs for future reference.

Cons

Inconsistent song recognition, especially failing with some genres and live music.
Frequent app crashes and errors such as "there was an error" message.
Poor customer support and unresolved technical issues with updates.
Problems with account login causing loss of history and playlist syncing issues.
Features like lyrics display and YouTube integration malfunctioning after updates.

I wanted to express my joys with this music recognition app. I have a bunch of mix tapes I had recorded on cassette. Sadly most of my physical library (vinyl, CD's) have been lost due to a difficult times financially. Now that I am secured, I am happy that it reconises my music from tape, even obscure songs and remixes. I also appreciate the lyrics that come up. Anyway your app recons my music unlike other apps I had tried. From my heart this means alot to me. I plan to regain my vinyls again!

My previous review was 5 stars. Sometimes works great, other times can't find anything. Now it will find NOTHING. Keeps saying "there was an error". When trying to find new music, almost never finds it! Live music? "Survey says," XXX! Can't find any updates, so??? maybe this company is concentrating more on their stock price and less on the actual product.
