PRAISE FOR SOUNDCLOUD

“Once you find an artist you like on SoundCloud, you can then see which songs that artist likes and get lost in a rabbit hole of music awesomeness. This kind of musical serendipity is very specific to SoundCloud because of the platform’s unique content.” - TechCrunch, Alex Mozaed

“SoundCloud is a great place for finding new music from emerging artists.” - The Next Web, Owen Williams

“SoundCloud Go is a big move for the company, which built its business by allowing artists to upload their music and share it with fans on social media and blogs. Acts like Drake, Lily Allen, Kanye West and Miley Cyrus have used it to premiere songs, or share works in progress. It has established the Berlin-based company as an influential player in the music industry, especially in the dance music genre.” - Mark Savage, BBC News

PLEASE FIX but I love it THE OFFLINE SOFTWARE HAS CAUSE 2 PHONES OF MINE TO BRICK. The service offered is amazing, 10/10 I recommended to all my friends. Please fix this guys, I believe in you. The phones affected were Samsung galaxys S7 and an S4 (because the s7 bricked). I don't know what's causing this other than the CPU load being high.

Good music, poor functions Doesn't work well on my Nexus 6P. I can't use the volume down on my phone while listening with any Bluetooth headset, but can with other music apps. If I pause music, most if the time music won't start playing again until I skip the song. No audio output on my car Bluetooth until I push volume up. Again, all these features work fine in other music apps.

The world is better with Soundcloud It's been a rocky road of bad updates and bugs, but Soundcloud is finally what it should have been. The population is very willing to try new things, so Soundcloud is where small artists can get big. I decided to use go for the $10/month premium and have no regrets. I'm the first to hear new albums (OneRepublic, PTX,ect) and the expanse of sounds can rival even YouTube's variety. Lastly, the podcasts you can follow are great for car rides, workouts, and lamenting over failed relationships. Amazing app.

SoundCloud go is awful on android Why can't I control starting to cache songs? If I like tracks on a browser then switch to my phone it won't automatically cache them. This app has always been terrible o. Android. Meanwhile my iPhone automatically does this.......

Yoav Rosen

Love the community and the website, the app is unbearable Tons of connection problems make it impossible to hear music on 4g. The connection problems are spontaneous and frequent and seem to be bugs that are not correlated to general internet 4g speed. I'd love to have patches or any kind of customer support that'll fix these.

Matthew Putman

Music at it's finest Haven't found a better music player and is especially easy to use and find great songs. Only problem is now it seems when I play a track station it only plays some from a few select artists over and over. Before it played more various artists.

Not bad Better than anything else out there. Functionality is good. Easy to use. Simple. It is unfortunate however that when artists upload music they can select certain countries that can listen to their songs making it unavailable to other countries. This is especially unfortunate when you pay for soundcloud go. Please move shuffle and download away from each other!

Tumble Weed October 27, 2016

Great app, but with a flaw. This is an awesome app that allows me to listen to my favourite artists on Soundcloud to see their new creations. However, every time I play a track, the app will pause the track halfway through it and it literally takes forever to buffer unless you try to restart it. This issue however is not present on Soundcloud in the App Store on iOS Please fix this flaw. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge running Android Marshmallow 6.0.1.

eternal exol and elf for life October 30, 2016

Amazing but... My songs will pause in the middle of a song or it would have a 🚫 sign and says not playable check your connection, and tap to retry again. But when I put it on my charger to listen to music while sleeping I never have this problem.

Mia Sabic October 27, 2016

Glitchy Whenever I tried to play a song, it would cut a portion of it out and then continue playing. Like as if you were listening at 2:30 and then the app skipped to 3:00 without you doing anything. The only solution I've found is to continuously re-download the app. Please fix! Otherwise a good app.

Salman Fatahillah November 2, 2016

There are so many important features in this app that is missing from the desktop website. Things like Repeat function, looking at music info, comments. Also the waves of the song thing is really buggy, that should get fixed. Cached music is sometimes also loaded in wrongly so parts of the song gets skipped. Don't get me wrong, SoundCloud is a great service, I love it but honestly I'm rating the app and it is garbage and needs to be fixed.

Colin Holzmann October 27, 2016

Worst update ever. Ive never left a review for anything in my life, but was compelled to bc of how badly this app has been ruined over the years. Why would u destroy something that was perfect?

Alberto I. Oses Navarro October 29, 2016

Login just once PLEASE Is there ANY WAY I can login just once, so I don't need to do it every time I turn the phone off and on. It is the normal thing on every other app on the virtual planet we call the internet. Why not in yours?

eleanor stinger October 27, 2016

Issues with genres Lots of confusion on this app/sight. I was listening to different genres and got to country and like the first 22 to 25 songs are in different languages that is not what they meant by country. Please fix this and the same with all of the other genres. Maybe adding more genres like ones that include different languages

Michelle Nagy October 31, 2016

Cover nightmares ahoy! This app used to be awesome. I would use it almost non-stop, especially for kpop since that is hard to find, before purchasing the song. But within the last year, they have made it where you must buy a subscription to listen to regular selections, otherwise you're subjected to the nightmarish world of covers. For some bizarre and psychotic reason, people post their covers of songs, which are horrific in their crapiness and results in bleeding ears. Looking for a new platform now.

Selecta October 27, 2016

Why Stops if I run other applications simultaneously. Also really annoying that it does not stay logged in. If I don't listen soundcloud for a while it logs out. Drives me crazy to type email and password all the time...

Matt Hindmarsh October 30, 2016

SoundCloud is the future of music, but the app is from the past. SoundCloud is a fantastic service and by far the best place to find new music, but it is crippled by a clunky mobile app. the UI is unclear, search functions poorly, tracks take ages to load even with a strong internet connection, and no access to charts. overall really poor app design for a music service for which many of us are now paying. I will be switching to My Cloud Player until SoundCloud fixes this steaming pile of feces that they seem to think is an acceptable excuse for a mobile app in 2016.

Reese Davis November 2, 2016

This app frequently shats itself I always have to open up my phone and close and restart the app just to get a song to play. Incredibly frustrating and makes the app almost unusable

Altus Noumena November 1, 2016

App is too restrictive I really like SoundCloud but the app itself doesn't let you do very much. Can't edit, or even upload a wav file

Larissa Christensen October 27, 2016

I like this app a lot, but it doesn't have all songs. This app is great and all but it doesn't have all my favorite songs, some are newer and some they just don't have. Sometimes it also doesn't load my music. It would be rated 5 stars If this was fixed. :)

Joseph Bullock October 31, 2016

Playlist issue I made a playlist on my phone of about 60 songs and when I look to play it online it only shows 15 songs. Very annoying. Please fix and i will give 5star rating

October 31, 2016

Google Play deleted my previous review for some reason. Older SoundCloud: Fantastic. Newer SoundCloud: Great. SoundCloud Go: Just awful; don't ever pay any money for it, don't even waste your time with the free trial. Many artists (mainly wannabe rappers) purposefully tag their songs with as many unfitting genres as they can, e.g. #Alternative Rock is full of generic rapper wannabes.

David Lee October 30, 2016

Better. The app isn't signing me out anymore. Keep up the good work. Left out 1 ★ because seriously,PLEASE STOP CUTTING SOME OF MY MUSIC TO 30 SEC. PREVIEWS. IT REALLY IS A CURSE. I'll give you 5 ★★★★★ if you stop that. I'll really appreciate it. Thanks.

Nilanjan Debnath October 31, 2016

Was perfect until.. The text on status bar is not visible since the latest update on miui, it's white text over gray. Also, is it possible to add an offline play feature, makes it difficult in underground metro now.

T3tCHY October 28, 2016

Not working on mobile Wont play track i chose, not even registering the track i press play on. Getting realy annoying. Fix it and ill rate 5 stars

Jack Rauh October 30, 2016

Would be 5 stars Would have 5 stars but it I've been having some issues with the time of the song and the orange display thing on the bottom of the screen not syncing up correctly, the display thing shows that you are farther into the song than you really are.

Chandra Sekhar Devulapalli October 27, 2016

Issue with chromecast While casting the audio from SoundCloud to a Chromecast, the song starts playing from the phone speaker at every song change along with the Chromecast device. The casting must be stopped in order to stop the song from playing on the phone. It'll be great if this issue can be fixed.

Mitch November 2, 2016

NOT for creators SoundCloud has made one thing very clear: it does not give 2 cares about creators. Can't blame them too much, they are simply following the money; namely, streamers. If you were hoping to upload music, edit a track's permissions, download, or do literally anything other than stream you will be gravely disappointed. 0/10

Oli Wakels October 27, 2016

Souncloud free is definitely better than spotify free Love it, however there are people who just use all the music tags to promote their music, even when that tagged type of music is not in the track. Please punish these abusers.

Rohitagni Mukherjee October 31, 2016

Love the app but... I use MIUI 8 on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, and I've found out that the notification has white text on white background, can you please fix it? Thanks!!

Vivek Yadav November 2, 2016

Nice app! Haven't downloaded but downloading it, I want to know if I could hear some radio stuffs on that. For eg--"Kya wo sach tha" horror show of fever FM?? Wow!!! It even let's u hear FM radio stuffs u missed!! Thank u!!

21Skrt October 28, 2016

Better then any other music app SoundCloud my to go every day for school or traveling It may skip and stop on songs when the music is playin buh when the person has bad 4G or internet. SoundCloud Should by downloaded by everyone

Virginia Quesada November 2, 2016

I Don't Think So... Tried various genres offered. Futile. Music is in my heart and entire torso but not here. Where are talents I heard on first track by an new artist that held my attention? I am open to new sounds but what I heard was disappointing. Uninstalled

Ibo van Geffen October 29, 2016

Very nice app App doesn't have as much songs as youtube, but the songs are much earlier on soundcloud. Also it has some performance issues on my Nexus 6P. It takes 5-10 seconds to play a track after it's selected.

November 2, 2016

Use to be my favourite music app Lately my songs all stop after playing for only a few minutes, never ever use to do this before, please fix this as I love all the remixes etc on soundcloud!!!

Jose Jimenez October 27, 2016

It's okay but. It's a great app, but one of the bugs is that the "Likes" section, it doesn't play in order sometimes, as if it's in shuffle, also, then the songs in the"Likes" section change, so it wouldn't be from recent to older, itll be randomized, also, one thing that I have experienced is that sometimes, some songs will be removed from playlist I created. Please fix this.

Saim Ehsan October 27, 2016

Songs are not available for country ? why most of the songs are not available in different countries ?? and if we wish to upload that in our playlist in order to listen in future.. then there is a copyright issue... please fix it..

Cory Ream October 31, 2016

Used to be 5 stars. But now it doesn't even play the song you choose it just picks a random song. Awful

Patton Nguyen October 27, 2016

WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING?! V5 FIVE UPDATES! FIVE! THE SOUND QUALITY IS STILL CORRUPTED AFTER ALL THAT! I'm starting to consider uninstalling this app if this keeps going on. FIX THIS.

Brad TheEarl October 29, 2016

Fix play screen and jumps Great app, love everything about it. Except the play screen, it moves much faster than the song and it's so annoying. Also it jumps parts of songs when device is alseep, that's even more annoying.
