Ratings and reviews

Used to love this app but fixing to uninstall!!!! NOT HAPPY! Words being sung used to show with orange bar, that is now gone and all the words are grayed out and I can't read it now. Please fix it to the way it was, or I will be forced to uninstall! For me, it's unusable as is!!!! Don't know when this happened, but it's been a while as I keep checking it! Edit: It looks like I will be deleting it after all as none of the "complaints" have been answered! And I have over 4600 discovered songs.

Can no longer log into my account and lost years of searchs as a result. I reached out to support and was surprised to get an initial response pretty quick. However, this turned out to be false hope as they have not responded again, a week later. I used to like the app, but it's not worth the trouble and apparently poor support. Cannot recommend this app anymore.

This has been one of my favorite apps for identifying even obscure latin music. One thing these apps cannot identify is improvisation, so some jazz you can forget about knowing as your keyboardist dances up & down the keys playing chord lines. So another thing to learn from this is that well-known hooks & any type of melodic line facilitates identification. In general, a great way to find out what that new song is. HOWEVER. Where was SoundHound in the New Wave years? It seems lost to it.

What's new

With this release, we are adding support for Android 12; this means users with the newest Android hardware can be sure SoundHound will continue running as smoothly as possible. Now go out there and discover some new favorites you can listen to in SoundHound!
