This app used to work great. It's is garbage now. For the past couple of weeks, since this supposed upgrade, whenever I try to play my music, it tells me to sign in to prove that I'm not a bot. On occasion, and I mean on occasion I've been able to listen to my music. However, it's only rarely that it works. I've un-installed and reinstalled, emailed support and the issue comes and goes. At this point I'm ready to uninstall it and be completely done with it.

They have a very poor rate at finding songs of certain genres. I listen to a lot of Christian music, on the radio, a basic station, nothing fancy or local. 8 out of 10 times SoundHound will fail to find anything, but Google and other apps find it right away. Tells me the developers have no problem helping you find songs about drugs, alcohol or sleeping around, but if you want to find who sings a song with positive messaging, it's much less likely to find that one. I've finally removed it.

This app used to work. Whoever updated this app should be fired. Changed great features. Used to enlarge to full screen now it doesn't. Used to show words when song was playing now it doesn't. I used to be able play again as many times as I wanted. Now I have to play another song then go back to the one I want. App crashes a lot. I don't recommend this app to everyone anymore. The features you canceled were the ones I used. I hope you will re-add features back. Not happy with last update.
