Ratings and reviews

Greatness: lyrics and overall recognition Room for improvement: 1) Starting slowly again, sometimes more than 10 seconds and missing the song. 2) It's great that the most recent album with a song comes up (I'm sure it also help the revenue), but the original release album should realm be included. Extra points for initial release date and links to their official fan site (where possible)

It seems that no matter what service I have, the app only works every so often. In the past week I have tried to find out what two songs were and both were unable to be found and when I go into my pending search and try again, it still says unable to find song. Disappointed because a few years ago I never had any problems. Now it seems to be nothing but problems and never able to find songs I want to look up! 😡😡 If the problem persists, I will delete this app and find a better one!

I've always had this app installed and use it occasionally, and the results are accurate most of the time. But I was diagnosing short battery life on my phone and discovered from BatteryGuru that it issued hundreds of wakelocks per hour on the microphone. When I suspended Soundhound, battery life dramatically improved. So, best case is the app is poorly written and hasn't updated power management since Android 6. Worst case is that it's using the mic to spy on me. Either way, goodbye.

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!
