User Reviews

SoundHound has historically been a strong on-the-go song identifier with playlist integration and loyal users. Many reviews praise accurate identification and use in ads/movies. However, a wave of reviews from late 2024–2025 shows a sharp decline in performance, with frequent recognition failures, empty search results, and compatibility concerns. Users often compare it unfavorably to Shazam and note playback/link limitations plus various UI bugs. The app’s maintenance appears lacking for some, leading to frustration and migration to competing solutions.
Pros
  • Historically strong on-the-go song identification (works well via mic)
  • Long-time user base and loyalty, with positive sentiment from longtime users
  • Spotify (and other service) integration to add discovered songs to playlists
  • Useful for identifying songs in ads/movies and building a library of recognized tracks
Cons
  • Recent decline in recognition accuracy and search reliability (late 2024–2025) with many songs failing to identify
  • Lack of updates/maintenance leading to compatibility issues on newer devices
  • Perceived inferiority to Shazam, with users switching to competing app
  • Playback/link limitations (e.g., limited YouTube links, 29-second clips)
  • UI/bug issues (sharing failures, install/library problems)
Recent reviews
Not sure what they’ve done lately but barely finds any songs. Unless you’re looking for US popular radio songs, you’re out of luck. It’s useless.

Decent idea and database, but pretty poor at recognizing a song compared to the competition.

Rarely finds the song I am looking for. Even once I find the song somewhere else struggles to use lyrics to find the right song
