User Reviews

User reviews indicate SoundHound's performance has degraded: the app often fails to identify songs, is slow and glitchy, and users report intrusive ads (including full audio and explicit ads). Many say it hasn't been updated in a long time and feels neglected, with issues like social sharing and purchase restoration. A few note it used to be stronger than rivals like Shazam, but current feedback is overwhelmingly negative. Top issues: poor recognition accuracy, performance problems, disruptive ads, and lack of maintenance.

Pros

Historically strong song identification performance; users note it used to identify songs quickly and accurately and, in some reviews, was considered better than Shazam.
Long-standing app used for years, suggesting prior reliability and familiarity.
Previously offered an ad-free option via a paid upgrade.

Cons

Frequent failure to recognize songs; accuracy is poor and inconsistent across many reviews.
Slow performance and frequent glitches; identification takes long and app is 'glitchy as hell'.
Intrusive ads, including full audio ads and sexually explicit ads.
Lack of updates/maintenance; app appears neglected with the last update reportedly in early 2026.
Social sharing features not working; issues with sharing songs on social media.
