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

Random songs It used to be really good until the most recent update was made. Now I have to click on a new song every time a song ends from my playlist bc a random songs will start playing (on phones), playlists don't work. Please fix it!! In general it's a very good app tho😞

A Google User

Still needs updating! Any great music app should have play next/add to que options! Plus I have issue when getting a phone call in the middle of a song the song does not resume play after ending the call. Then I have to start the song over or go to the next. This is on Nexus 6p with many different ROMs. Over all great app but still needs some work!!!

Car Cha

Just recently downloaded this app don't like the fact that I can't edit, or make changes or delete my own music track demos that I personally produced N uploaded when I was FN around with it ! Sound Cloud needs to allow musician's to have full absolute control of their own created composed music tracks. So if they decide to delete a track they created that they don't like they can ! SoundCLoud has not provided deleting options on my tracks WTF !!!!!! Thts BS!

Tracks Revoked Suddenly Love this app for music discovery and I subscribe to Go. Only issue is that occasionally a song I love and have listened to for a long time on Soundcloud will suddenly say it's not available in my country. I've contacted the artists a couple times and they have no idea why the would be. If they fix this it's five stars for sure.

kelsey fowler

Not avaliable in my country I love SoundCloud, but please stop trying to fix things that are not broken. Why can I not listen to a song just because I live in a different country? Are South Africans not allowed to listen to the same music as everyone else? I have two separate music apps just so I can listen to the music that you won't let me listen to. Wtf? Can you please tell me why this is in place, or fix it?

Gordon Tongue

Used to be good It used to be good. On my home page it would just keep playing songs. Now random songs pop up and i have to take my phone out unlock it and pick a new song every time. Fix this and will go back to 5 stars. I dont want to hear randomly placed music

Missing feature: messaging Messaging absolutely needs to be added in this app so artists can message producers or even communicate with their fans better or personally. Add this feature and I bet people would love this app even more. Soundcloud has over a 100 million downloads and trust me plenty of people find this app even more useful than it already is and it could help a lot of artists and producers too. So please consider adding this.

Charlie Smith December 21, 2016

Broken, poor example of programming It doesnt matter what OS you are on - iOS or Android, Soundcloud will take over all Soundcloud links on Facebook or in the browser. It'll then load this page in the app store even though you have it installed; and you'll never be able to follow the link. Get a grip guys, this has been unusable for two years.

Tekno Neko December 17, 2016

Good App, But Needs to Fix Playback I love SoundCloud, it has almost every song I ask for. But even with Stable, Excellent internet connections, my tracks will stop playing at random points in the song, especially if I exit the app to multitask. Also, refreshing my playlists deletes some songs from them, which is irritating because then have to go add them back. Other than that, SoundCloud is pretty high quality. (Sent from an LG G4)

Trevor December 25, 2016

Low quality songs from phone speakers. I had a Galaxy S4 up until yesterday. I noticed a month ago that all songs playing through my phone speaker were low quality, but not through ear buds. I shook it off, thinking it was just my old phone acting up. I was wrong. I have an S7 now and still have this problem. My friend has an iPhone and it doesn't work either. Please fix the app before you push Soundcloud Go on me again? Thanks. Now in addition to all that garbage, songs are being deleted from my playlists. Good job guys.

Dat One Otaku December 23, 2016

Liked tracks I have loved this app and was able to find almost all of my favorite music. Recently though, I've noticed that some of the songs I have liked are disappearing from my liked tracks. After looking up the same song once again, the song is still liked somehow. Please fix this issue because I am very serious about my music!

Andrew Lelos December 20, 2016

This is the worst app ever Everytime i try to open a soundcloud link it takes me here. Also playing any song through my phone speaker plays at like 64kbps... The overall design of this app in general is so terribly bad aswell. Take some cues from spotify on how to make a good app please

Cameron Harley December 22, 2016

Keeps crashing After the update it keeps on crashing. I have a s4 mini and it working perfectly about 2 updates ago. The problem just become worse after this recent update. Will change my rating once the problem is sorted

Michael Taylor December 21, 2016

Sound quality still not improved Omg it's so bad in this app. Utter trash audio quality audio artifacts can be heard when playing tracks. This is not a problem on the PC. So the app encoding needs sorting out. Stop treating mobile users as if we have bad mobile ISPs. It's 2017 for god's sake. 5G is coming. We don't need this kind of downsampling

Richex112 December 21, 2016

Design over function Getting to playlists takes way too 2 swipes and 3 clicks. To get to your profile you have to swipe right but that also scrolls through recommended songs on the second panel. This is only two of the myriad of questionable design choices in this app that makes it a chore to use.

Darrin Day December 23, 2016

Getting worse This used to be my favorite music app but now it's just getting worse and worse. Playlists don't work and the app randomly plays songs so I have to take my phone out unlock it and go back to what I was listening to.

Roberto Sanchez December 20, 2016

Song lengths! The lengths of tracks are no longer displayed while scrolling down a feed or profile, a feature needlessly taken out. 1 star until fixed. Wanna know how long a track is before I click on it

Anishjyoti Baruah December 19, 2016

Amazing app. But occasional playback and sync issues. The app and its music database is the best! However, there are random freezes in playback even on excellent internet connection. Happens to me all the time when playing songs over Bluetooth in my car. Also there are sync issues. Especially when I add songs to playlist via the website on my laptop. Only adding they do get added on the website but don't show up on the app. This happens even though both systems are on the same stable connection. Currently using a Nexus 6. 5 stars when fixed for sure.

Jesse Bradley December 22, 2016

Why? Why do you guys make people download your app when I try to share my music? No one checks out my tunes because my link takes them to the play store. 90% don't and won't download the app when I send them my link, and that means no listeners for me. Please fix this issue. At least give people an option to access the link through their browser please and thanks.

Jp Desu December 22, 2016

App decided to delete all of my liked and posted tracks, unfollowed everyone, and leave me with no way of getting the music back. "Help desk" wasn't helpful at all. Been using for years and now im thoroughly done with the app

Jereomy Kiser December 19, 2016

Loved it at first! But then i quickly realized the only music on this app, even the paid version, is what the users upload themselves. Several albums from major artist on huge labels cant be found using this app! Went to Spotifly, much happier, even found obscure content from major artist, not to mention exclusive stuff. Dont waste ur money folks!

True December 22, 2016

Still needs improvement, overall great app Don't know if it's because of my phone (I have a Samsung S4 Active), but if I want to listen to music on speakers the audio is crapped up, as for other music apps (Spotify, default music app) the audio is fine. Fix it, then I'll rate 5. (If it's from my phone, then again, 5 stars)

Jack Halliwell December 24, 2016

Adverts Used to love this app, but now there is adverts, it's pointless using. I put my playlist on shuffle and if I skip a couple of songs then it will give me an add. So you can go from 1 add to another without even listening to anything you want. Remove adds or make them less frequent.

Nate Morgan December 24, 2016

Functionality is decent, recently listened to is cool. 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 they're way too close together. Having a serious issue with songs I unlike just winding back up in my likes... they won't go away no matter what....

Adarsh Patel December 24, 2016

App update has missing icons for Google Nexus 7. Developer problem here needing a fix. Can't access the help community through app. Great for finding new music. Nowadays too many ads, but guess that's how it goes.

Ghasts Rule December 23, 2016

One of the buggiest apps I have ever used Randomly pausing, skipping, changing songs, starting to play songs in the middle of youtube videos and while playing games whenever I'm using earphones. I really liked this app at the beginning, but the bugs just ruined it.

Alia Bashir December 20, 2016

It's ok It's been working ok till recently everytime I sign out all my play list songs have been deleted.. managed to find all my songs again and put them on my play list. When I sign out My playlist is empty again. Otherwise it's a really good app. Obviously there are issues that need fixing especially with some songs playing it will suddenly stop. Then I've gotta play it again.. but the main bit is all of my songs getting deleted. Come on soundcloud fix this bug. I need my playlist songs wherever I go and in gym.

Muhammad Dawood December 23, 2016

One Problem The audio waveform moves 95% faster than its originally intended to for some reason, for example, the audio waveform completes a 2 minute song which has originally played for only about 1 minute. The waveform then goes back to the correct one minute mark and moves forward while lagging.

Jeremy Esvee December 21, 2016

Songs keep skipping!!! Doesnt matter if i use wifi, LTE or any other way of getting internet. Ive cleared dat and cache, ive Uninstaller it. Nothing works and they keep skipping!!!

Braian Dunlop December 23, 2016

They screwed it up It was kool cause I could listen to music anywhere at any time. They put in ads and that was no bother. But now listening to music despite having no Internet is available for "premium" members along with certain songs that can only be previewed by those who arent....

Nicholas Ramirez December 22, 2016

A Once Good App is Horrid There are SO many ads. I've literally heard an advertisement, skipped a song, then gotten the same advertisement. Moreover, now some songs are only small snippets as opposed to the full thing. This app has really gone down the drain and is nothing like it was before.

Ahhdball December 22, 2016

Amazing but deletes songs form Playlist Love this app but my problem is that any time SoundCloud lags it starts to delete songs from some of my Playlists. I once had 15 songs on a Playlist I come back and theirs 3. Please see this and fix if you can.

Colleen Ballantyne December 20, 2016

Sound quality on track playback is just horrible... This seriously needs to be fixed!... It has been this way for months now and It's very depressing because a lot of the music I listen to isn't on spotify!

Ata-ul Wahid December 20, 2016

Horrible recently When im listening to a playlist it will play a random song after each song finishes.i cant listen to any of my music properly without bwing forced to listwn to some random music.considering i have soundcloud go this is horrible.back to spotify.

Neosnoopy December 23, 2016

Buggy and terrible designed app The app is a wonderful concept but need significant improvement and debug. Creating a new account in app with email is broken which deter new users instead it points to use mobile website but it doesn't allow to create account but point back to app.The app doesnt allow users to edit profile unless thru desktop. Share link only goes to app rather than the song it self. ... Disappointing I'm sure there are other poorly design features or bug as I start to use this more. The app can be an outstanding if fixed.

Kieran Bramble December 23, 2016

CRAP (1) Waveform moves twice as fast as it is supposed to. It's been like this for 2 years (2) Sound quality is horrible now. Same song on a different app sounds fine. I'm not gonna pay for Soundcloud Go when your music sounds like it's coming out of potato

Daniela Rodriguez December 23, 2016

Disappointed I thought I can listen offline but its not. Im so PISSED OFF of this...please fix this... I want to listen music when im offline... I'll recommend this to my friends if you fix this!!! P.S. Reply as fast as you can, when you read it!!!

Hashim M December 19, 2016

Random freezes and stoppage Sometimes whislte using app via Bluetooth in my car it will play some tracks then suddenly stop whilst the app is still active and full network availability. Is there update possibly that fix this issue??

Ashcroft Solano December 23, 2016

Glitch/bug? Are you serious I'm getting my god DAMMMMMM music deleted. It automatically does it. I was just listen to my music and randomly happened. Now I got to find the music that I don't REMEMER!!!! }:(

Manoj Kumar December 23, 2016

Name da Song, It's there.. It doesn't deserve less than 5 stars.. What more you want? It has got da best quality Music.. Devlopment is ongoing process, it doesn't mean to give less number of Stars.. Enjoying it..
