From the start
I’ve been using this app since the beginning. My first iPhone was the 3. Soundhound was the first app I paid for. It’s only gotten better since then. I’ve never had to pay to upgrade.
July 11th 2008:
That’s when I first downloaded SoundHound. After all these years, it’s still on my first page of apps. I use it all the time to identify songs on commercials, or during movies at home. The ability to integrate SoundHound into Spotify was amazing and makes it really easy to add songs to my daily playlists. I hope July 11th, 2028 I’m still as happy with SoundHound as I am today!
Gone Political?
I’ve noticed that a few very popular songs by well-known artists have been out for MONTHS are still not in the database. Don’t be selective in what you list, Soundhound. Not cool.
Abandonware for Artificialis Intelligentia
Simply check the website out, the developers and their company have put all their eggs into the AI industry, they will be joining all the other self righteous narcissists and banking their efforts on deep human behavioral manipulation.
it dont work
dont work no more…
What happened
You sound hound for years and loved it however, in the last few months, all of a sudden it doesn’t recognize any of the music and I’ve switched to Shazam because it does.
Hope you guys will add better video PIP features…
Hope you guys will add better video PIP features in the future updates. Sometimes we just want to multitask with our phones. Please add this feature. My Device: iPhone 14 Pro Max (latest iOS), iPhone SE (1st Generation, iOS 15.7.8), iPad Pro 12.9” (3rd Generation, 2018, latest iOS/iPadOS) Note: I regularly update my review/rating for this application.
