Ratings and reviews

This was an amazing service when it came out, even before smart phones. I used it for years because it worked great. These days, I recommend using something else. I don't even know if it functions anymore because I've tried to use it to identify several songs recently that it literally can't figure out with several attempts. Shazam identified the same songs accurately within 2 seconds. Maybe this was once good, but not anymore. Recommend Shazam or turn on the built-in function on your phone.

I've used this app for years, probably going on 8-9 years of using this app exclusively for music recognition. This past several months It hasn't been able to recognize any songs, even more popular songs. I can have my phone right next to the speaker and the volume turned way up and it still will act like it didn't hear a thing. I have had issues like this in the past but normally could retry it and it would work, but now it doesn't work at all.

The past two months, it has not been working. It seems to not hear anything even if I put the mic next to the speaker every time. I have never had this issue for the past few years until now. I unstalled and reinstalled it to see if it would help, but nothing. I hope this gets fixed. It doesn't seem to hear any of the songs playing or when I hum/sing it outside nothing, not even the older songs that it had found before months ago.

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!
