Great app, love it! But a problem or 2
Jul 14, 2019 First off, SoundCloud is great, I have been listening to it for like- ever basically, but the ads, I'm always stressing to click next song because a thirty second non skippable 'vaping can ruin your brain' ad would come on, you used to be able to skip them for five seconds after it starts, and now it doesn't work?? I end up breaking the SoundCloud system and skipping it myself (I'm not going to say how because I feel like SoundCloud would fix it lol) but for someone who barely has time to listen to music on a car ride, it's annoying to get a thirty second ad, I'm fine with an ad or two, just not like- a non skippable one in between two songs, I really like sound cloud, but the vape ads pop up constantly, I am a teen myself, and I guarantee those ads barely help, I don't vape but I'd probably continue doing it if those ads kept popping up since it's annoying, but I love SoundCloud, even a bunch of songs I liked I discovered on here, I like some ads on here that are funny, but please try to make the ads more spaced out, the only issues I have are with the ads, other then that it's a good app, but I'm not paying for Go.more -
Playlist Organization
Nov 27, 2019 SoundCloud is great but there are a lot of glitches with playlists that need to be fixed. Trying to rearrange your songs in your own playlists is a hassle, it takes multiple tries to get the song to permanently move because it often just reverts back to where it was right after you moved it. I always have to close then reopen the open to check and make sure my songs moved to where I wanted them to. Also the icons you can upload for your playlist cover never seem to update unless you actually open up and go into the playlist. This doesn’t seem to be much of an issue on the desktop but on mobile my set display cover is never what I picked, it’s usually automatically always the same picture as the first song in that playlist. This gets really irritating because if I want people to check out my playlists, the first thing they see is the display image and I would rather them see the one I chose than of the picture from someone’s track! Lastly, please incorporate the option to move around your playlists. I have playlists from months ago that are at the way end of my profile and would rather have some of those at the forefront of my profile when you visit it. Really hope you consider ideas to fix these problems. Otherwise great app and I’ll always be a user.more -
Great app except one thing.
May 1, 2019 The app works great, in my opinion it’s the best music app ever. It’s free and can actually pick what song you want to listen to whenever you want to listen to it, all with very little ads. You can pay to have the app ad free but no need for that. Also when you pay you can download songs for offline listening but I’ve noticed that if you put a song on a playlist and listened to it before at least once that it doesn’t have to load the next time you listen to the song so there is no need for paying. The only bad thing is there is this one thing called SoundCloud weekly on the homepage and it recamends you songs... but all the songs are usually really old like 1-3 years old, so I would like if it would recommend songs that are newer. Other than that if you live in a family that has very little money and you love to listen to music like I do (bus ride to school, bus ride home, when I play basketball, when I wanna jam out) and stuff like that it’s perfect. So SoundCloud if you see this please keep the app the way you have it. But maybe different color ways. I like when music apps change their color ways!more -
Web is web - App is App
Aug 24, 2018 First and foremost: Thank you Soundcloud, you are brilliant! You have somehow managed to accomplish the impossible: create a global platform for musical expression for artists who otherwise would never be heard AND deliver that to we humans hungry for food-medicine-energy that IS original music without bowing to cavalier monetization. Haven't a clue how you surpassed Apple, Google, Pandora and the rest save only for how amazingly perfect a team you have created. You are the Shaolin Monks of Music. You ARE the revolution. That said, you new App is genius! Crisp, clean, low footprint, perfect maximization of OS and platform utilization and the aesthetic attention to detail is both subtle and sublime. Outstanding accomplishment! As far as the whiners who confuse web with apps and have never coded a line - ignore them; this version of you app reflects the excellence and vision that guides your exquisite and critically necessary presence on earth. Gratitude sisters & brothers - inspired use of tech & heart - love this app!more -
Oct 11, 2020 It's so good, I like that you can play your playlist offline too. It really helps because you can listen on the bus or bike or even car, whatever occasion! My only problem is that the widgets and overall look is boxed up, this just makes it look really old and overcomplicated. Instead, if it was given a minimalistic look by rounding the edges, it would look so much better. But I am still giving 5 stars 😁more

Oct 6, 2020 In advance, I'll warn you – this only began during the new update. I've handeled this for a week. I've had soundcloud for 3 years, and I've never seen it behave like this. It worked one time. When I tried to re-open it, it gave the message "you can't have more than one active account". Thing is, nobody else in my household is using soundcloud at these points of time. Yes, I did try multiple times to make soundcloud work – but no avail. I respect your app, but please fix it up.more -
Oct 3, 2020 The most recent update (2 days prior to this review) totally f*ed the app up. Its continually crashing and my husband and I cannot use the app at the same time. We were both using the app on our phones in other rooms, playing separate things, and it would stop on one phone. If the we pushed play, it would stop on the other person's phone.more -
Oct 23, 2020 I've been using Soundcloud for years and it's been fine, but a few months ago the app shutdown on me and has refused to come back on since. Every time I try to boot it up or even delete it, it shuts my phone completely off and I have to restart it. Not to mention that I can't log in to Soundcloud on Chrome and thus have very few ways to access my music now.more -
App terrible interface but desktop great! Make them the same!
Sep 17, 2018 The app is so terrible compared to the desktop version. The searches never come up the they do on desktop, I never see my page with my spotlight 5 tracks when I open it up, i have to scroll forever just to get to what is normally right there on my desktop.... the app gets ZERO. As an artist and some one and I are talking about music and who I like and what I sound like I’d like to be able to easily show them or find the name of the musician I was listening too earlier that day etc. I have more specific complaints but these are the ones that come to mind. The ‘usability’ and ease of interface is just terrible on the app version. I gave an 8 or something for the recommendation of SoundCloud to people but , it would have been a 10 if the stupid interface on the app wasn’t so clunky. The two interfaces (desk and app) should look and work essentially the same. A girl told me it was impossible for her to figure out how to repost my song on the app version. she gave up in frustration. In some way that reflects on me and I lost a precious repost. Also I’d like to be able to link my two accounts , even if it is just slightly more a month to have both on premium. That last note is not about the app obviously. Thanks for listening.more -
Oct 5, 2020 This app used to be my go to for music. I don't know what happened to it . 1 It keeps adding music from completely different languages in my playlist . I've tried removing the songs but they just keep getting added I have no idea why. I don't even understand the languages and it's so frustrating .2 every now and then When I minimize the app the music stops and I have to go back into the app to push play again and as soon as I minimize it stops. Highly Annoying . Please fix this and I'll give 5*more

You need SoundCloud
Jun 26, 2020 It’s by far the best music and created platform out there yes there are flaws but not many every week you get a personal list of songs recommended for you from your listening history so you can discover more music and Artist you may like unlike other music platforms you can upload to and you can support small artists to help them grow it shows you the other side of music you have been missing out on my taste in music has changed so much for the better because of SoundCloud. You can find it or songs from popular artists today and see how they started you can’t get that anywhere else. It’s so easy to find the music you like and it will help you grown as a person to. I been using it for 1 and a half now and it gets better every day the best thing is it’s free and SoundCloud go is only 5 bucks it’s worth it. So all in all if you want to grown as a listener or start your career use SoundCloud.more

Very good but some issues
Feb 5, 2018 So I’ve been using this app for the past 3 years and it has been amazing, but somethings I would wish could change as well as some issues I’ve ran into. The first thing is the UI, if I type in a song and I spell it wrong I wish it could put up something close to that and not say “ No Results”. Second thing is that I wish when you went into your saved playlist that you would start at the bottom or the newest song and not the top, but those I can live with so I own an IPhone X, I’m not showing off or anything but this thing has amazing speakers and for some reason when I play a song it crackles and pops which is soooo annoying, I’m an audio geek and I can not listen to a song when it cracks and pops it’s just infuriating. And the last thing is something that I’ve wanted for so long is to be able to post songs from your phone because not all of us own computers, and or laptops but the option to be able to post songs from your phone would be awesome. I hope you bring these ideas in consideration and hopefully are able to fix that bug but anyways I love this app and this is the only way to listen to songs that are posted by non singers or artists.more -
Very great but some difficulties
Aug 5, 2018 Hello I’ve been a SoundCloud user since 2012 but didn’t really get into it until 2013. I would like to say SoundCloud is fantastic. However, I have problems listening to music without it cutting off every 30 seconds. Then once I press play, the same thing keeps happening. Also, as someone that makes music, I hate that there’s a pay wall behind me seeing simple things as who’s listening all over the world. Why should I by SoundCloud Go just to see things like that? The least I’m buying it for is playing music offline, that’s about it. Aside from that, I feel like SoundCloud Go is just not even worth it. I liked using SoundCloud until y’all introduced SoundCloud Go. Which basically limited us from listening to big artist on there giving us 30 seconds of a song just so we can buy that pay wall to listen to a full song we can listen to on other music apps. Not to mention the spotlight on our profiles. Are you seriously going to make us pay for that? That’s like paying $5 just to pin a tweet on Twitter. All I’m saying is I love SoundCloud, but I can’t stand it when they’re trying to beat around the bush just to make us pay for something.more -
🤦🏽♂️
Apr 9, 2019 I have been a Soundcloud Go user for several years now. I have no problem paying for this subscription because I love this app, however there are issues which I feel if addressed, could make this app much better. For years I have dealt with tracks out of my likes being deleted or removed. I understand many of these tracks are leaked and therefore are not supposed to be on the app, however this is not the case for all songs that are removed. There is nothing worse than wanting to listen to a song and not being able to find it. Out of my 1,500 + likes I cannot remember the names of all songs I like. I believe if these tracks are deleted it would be very helpful that instead of them simply being taken down, they should still exist in your likes, even if you can’t listen to them. This way, I’m not really losing my music. I’d still be able to find the songs elsewhere, it’s just so frustrating having music disappear. Please address this issue. Also fix your search algorithms!! Neither of these issues seem like they would be difficult to address. Please fix for the sake of users!! Makes me rethink paying my subscription.more -
Sad
Oct 20, 2019 I’ve had this app for around 3 years and I had around 300 sounds that I had in my liked section because all of them wouldn’t fit in a playlist and I was okay with it. During those 3 years I loved it because I like underground rappers starting from SoundCloud and rising to the top and I would always search for new artist just so I wouldn’t have the same music as everybody else and I’d always show my friends and they’d always ask who it is and for me that’s a compliment cause putting someone on a new artist always makes me feel like that boy. But anyways a couple days ago when I was going to show my friend a couple new songs I found I went to the like section and all of my music that I had liked were gone. All those 3 years of searching for new music that little to no one has heard before done the drain and y’all don’t know how sad I felt cause now I’m never going to get to listen to those songs again because I dug really deep to find them and I’m not going to waste my time searching for it again. Soundcloud staff members, if you happen to see this please pleaseeee let me know if there’s anyway you guys can get my music back that’s all I want😭more -
wow, i’m really frustrated
Aug 2, 2019 okay so i always fall alseep with music on and i suddenly realized that my songs were cutting short, so i go to the app and look at my 200 sum playlist and OVER HALF of my playlist is go+ and i was listening to the whole songs earlier today. i understand y’all need to make money but clam down all my Phora, Russ, billie, peep, and some of my other songs are all go+ i need to listen to my music and i don’t have any money literally i can’t pay for music that’s why i use sound cloud but now that over half my playlist is just go+ i guess i’m going to have to listen on yt and i hate listening on yt bc you can’t go off of it i can’t sleep with music on in yt so i wish that you would take go+ off of songs cause i could easily stop using soundcloud i don’t want to but if i can’t listen to my music i’ll have to compromise and i love soundcloud don’t get me wrong but omg y’all non of my songs are longer than a preview and i hope you guys can take the go+ off songs i’m so sick of my songs being 30 sec long so please listen to me, because i speak for millions you should get enough money from people using your app? come on y’allmore

Oct 19, 2020 I don't really know what to think at this point. I used to really love this app, I could listen to all my music for free with occasional ads I didn't mind, but lately it's gotten really buggy and crashes alot not to mention there will literally be two 30 second unskippable ads in a row every two songs and it's really annoying. Not sure if I'll stick with soundcloud if this keeps up, which is a shame because it's really nice otherwise.more -
Oct 20, 2020 I've been using SoundCloud for years and now it feels like the quality is dropping. I can't move songs around in my own lists anymore. They jump back to where they were instead of where I put them. I also haven't gotten a skippable ad in what feels like ages, leaving me to hear almost a full minute of ads informing me not to smoke. Other than that, good app.more -
Oct 26, 2020 This app is 10 years old and you still haven't created a way to message people or respond to messages, or even view them. Plus I feel the ads have drastically increased in number recently. I get a 2 unskippable ads almost every other song. I also feel its a little unorganized. Other than that its probably one of the best music streaming apps.more -
Oct 21, 2020 Soundcloud is amazing but messaging is very problematic: 1. Still no messaging function on mobile 2020. 2. You cannot unsend messages. Even gmail let's you unsend emails. 3. You cannot see messaging history when you message someone from their profile. So you dont know if you texted them before. 4. And there is no way to search for contacts in your inbox except primitive scrolling. 5. You cannot click on the name or picture of a user who didn't reply to you. PLEASE Soundcloud fix these.more

Ads!!!!!!!!!
Dec 25, 2019 I love the music I can find on the SoundCloud platform but I cannot STAND the way you have set up users to consume ads! Firstly, there used to be a way to skip most ads after 15 seconds but that feature seems to have been completely removed. Next, you guys place an ad after almost EVERYYYYY song and not to mention the fact that you also have put ads BEFORE a song plays when you manually change songs! The app is only good because of the ARTISTS music that we have access to, but this app/platform is losing me day-by-day and makes me want to download the music and get off the app altogether!!!!!!! Lastly, one of the most annoying parts of your ad setup is the fact that when you do click another song and an ad plays——— YOU CAN’T LEAVE THE *BLEEPING* APP!!!!! You HAVEEEE to let the 30 second ad play fully in its entirety with no ability to skip halfway through or to close the app to listen while continuing to do something else on another app like most do! I guess you can just do like me and close/relaunch the app a million times but it’s getting absolutely so ridiculous and frustrating that I had to let SOMEONE who might be involved in this terrible setup know it needs to be fixed or DRAMATICALLY reduced!!!!!!!more -
Oct 15, 2020 Awesome app with a descent selection of music and wide variety of talented rappers. One thing that really bugs me though is that the music will every now and again stop and won't be playable until you reset the app. It'd be awesome if they could fix it so that the people who wouldn't mind paying for the subscription wouldn't have to deal with a critical bug like this one, but aside from this major nuisance it's a nice app platform.more -
Lots of minor/medium problems
May 19, 2020 SoundCloud is fine. I like that it’s free. There are some songs, like Elise by The Greeting Committee, that used to be free but now require a premium for you to listen to. I’d prefer if more were free, but beggars can’t be choosers. Anyways, I don’t even know if that decision is up to SoundCloud or the individual creators. There are some more glaring problems, though. For one, when I try to scroll down quickly, the app gets really laggy, shows me one frame a second, and scrolls down incredibly slow. It’s infuriating when I’m trying to go low down in my likes songs. Another issue is finding when a song was posted or looking at its description. Both of these are impossible on the SoundCloud app. It seems that the developers only care about the computer version of SoundCloud, when it is much, much better as a mobile app. I have no clue why you would focus on the computer more. It’s not like I can carry a computer in my pocket while it’s connected to headphones or anything. Also, when someone replies to one of my comments I’d like to be notified. This one is just a small suggestion. I usually like the app, but it needs major, major polishing. Please update it!more

Oct 6, 2020 In advance, I'll warn you – this only began during the new update. I've handeled this for a week. I've had soundcloud for 3 years, and I've never seen it behave like this. It worked one time. When I tried to re-open it, it gave the message "you can't have more than one active account". Thing is, nobody else in my household is using soundcloud at these points of time. Yes, I did try multiple times to make soundcloud work – but no avail. I respect your app, but please fix it up.more -
Oct 3, 2020 The most recent update (2 days prior to this review) totally f*ed the app up. Its continually crashing and my husband and I cannot use the app at the same time. We were both using the app on our phones in other rooms, playing separate things, and it would stop on one phone. If the we pushed play, it would stop on the other person's phone.more -
App terrible interface but desktop great! Make them the same!
Sep 17, 2018 The app is so terrible compared to the desktop version. The searches never come up the they do on desktop, I never see my page with my spotlight 5 tracks when I open it up, i have to scroll forever just to get to what is normally right there on my desktop.... the app gets ZERO. As an artist and some one and I are talking about music and who I like and what I sound like I’d like to be able to easily show them or find the name of the musician I was listening too earlier that day etc. I have more specific complaints but these are the ones that come to mind. The ‘usability’ and ease of interface is just terrible on the app version. I gave an 8 or something for the recommendation of SoundCloud to people but , it would have been a 10 if the stupid interface on the app wasn’t so clunky. The two interfaces (desk and app) should look and work essentially the same. A girl told me it was impossible for her to figure out how to repost my song on the app version. she gave up in frustration. In some way that reflects on me and I lost a precious repost. Also I’d like to be able to link my two accounts , even if it is just slightly more a month to have both on premium. That last note is not about the app obviously. Thanks for listening.more -
Oct 21, 2020 On my old phone I had little to no ads. Now on this new phone I listen to one maybe two songs and get two 30 second ads. I know it sounds like it's not worth complaining about or even commenting about, but I dont think the song to ad ratio is fair. I'll put up with it for a few more days, but I think I'm on the verge of my breaking point and I'm probably going to switch to spotify...more -
So many issues
Oct 21, 2019 I’ve been meaning to write a review of this app for some time. First off, Soundcloud is an amazing service and I love it, but the iOS app is littered with flaws and bugs and has been since it was created. I’ve used this app on the iPhone 5/6/7/8 and now XS and with every “new” feature added (which was available then taken away on the earliest versions of the app) a new host of bugs come along. Ones that persist with every update. Random songs in my collection will not play and neither will any song I attempt to play afterward unless I quit the app. As long as I avoid the specific songs I’ve learned crash the app this doesn’t happen, but my music collection that goes back nearly 9 years has a lot of these “landmine” type tracks. The second to last update somehow removed a random amount of my liked songs!! The only solution is to delete and reinstall the app which means I have to re-download my entire collection! I pay for this app! Like I said it’s nearly 9 years worth of music and takes most of the day. If I don’t plug my phone in and turn the sleep function off while it re-downloads every song it skips ones. I could go on and on and on.more
What’s Groovy
It works for the most part but there's one issue I'm currently having, my third track that I have uploaded two times already doesn't show up in my tracks that I uploaded onto this app I even tried searching for the track on the sesrch bar but it didn't show up at all there. The only time I can actually see my track & play it is when I look at my listening history but I now just checked my history and it's no longer there FIX THIS! Edit: Tried deleting one of my tracks and it still doesn't work!

What’s Subpar
When I first started using this app about 5 years ago, I loved it. Such an easy way to listen to music. With that being said, this is NOT the same app that it used to be. There is an ad between every song (sometimes 2) and half the music requires a premium account. I understand that artists need to be supported but this is going too far. Why am I listening to more ads than I am songs?? Surely its not for the artists who keep all their music for premium users. Overall wouldn't recommend

Great app, love it! But a problem or 2
First off, SoundCloud is great, I have been listening to it for like- ever basically, but the ads, I'm always stressing to click next song because a thirty second non skippable 'vaping can ruin your brain' ad would come on, you used to be able to skip them for five seconds after it starts, and now it doesn't work?? I end up breaking the SoundCloud system and skipping it myself (I'm not going to say how because I feel like SoundCloud would fix it lol) but for someone who barely has time to listen to music on a car ride, it's annoying to get a thirty second ad, I'm fine with an ad or two, just not like- a non skippable one in between two songs, I really like sound cloud, but the vape ads pop up constantly, I am a teen myself, and I guarantee those ads barely help, I don't vape but I'd probably continue doing it if those ads kept popping up since it's annoying, but I love SoundCloud, even a bunch of songs I liked I discovered on here, I like some ads on here that are funny, but please try to make the ads more spaced out, the only issues I have are with the ads, other then that it's a good app, but I'm not paying for Go. -
Playlist Organization
SoundCloud is great but there are a lot of glitches with playlists that need to be fixed. Trying to rearrange your songs in your own playlists is a hassle, it takes multiple tries to get the song to permanently move because it often just reverts back to where it was right after you moved it. I always have to close then reopen the open to check and make sure my songs moved to where I wanted them to. Also the icons you can upload for your playlist cover never seem to update unless you actually open up and go into the playlist. This doesn’t seem to be much of an issue on the desktop but on mobile my set display cover is never what I picked, it’s usually automatically always the same picture as the first song in that playlist. This gets really irritating because if I want people to check out my playlists, the first thing they see is the display image and I would rather them see the one I chose than of the picture from someone’s track! Lastly, please incorporate the option to move around your playlists. I have playlists from months ago that are at the way end of my profile and would rather have some of those at the forefront of my profile when you visit it. Really hope you consider ideas to fix these problems. Otherwise great app and I’ll always be a user. -
Great app except one thing.
The app works great, in my opinion it’s the best music app ever. It’s free and can actually pick what song you want to listen to whenever you want to listen to it, all with very little ads. You can pay to have the app ad free but no need for that. Also when you pay you can download songs for offline listening but I’ve noticed that if you put a song on a playlist and listened to it before at least once that it doesn’t have to load the next time you listen to the song so there is no need for paying. The only bad thing is there is this one thing called SoundCloud weekly on the homepage and it recamends you songs... but all the songs are usually really old like 1-3 years old, so I would like if it would recommend songs that are newer. Other than that if you live in a family that has very little money and you love to listen to music like I do (bus ride to school, bus ride home, when I play basketball, when I wanna jam out) and stuff like that it’s perfect. So SoundCloud if you see this please keep the app the way you have it. But maybe different color ways. I like when music apps change their color ways! -
Web is web - App is App
First and foremost: Thank you Soundcloud, you are brilliant! You have somehow managed to accomplish the impossible: create a global platform for musical expression for artists who otherwise would never be heard AND deliver that to we humans hungry for food-medicine-energy that IS original music without bowing to cavalier monetization. Haven't a clue how you surpassed Apple, Google, Pandora and the rest save only for how amazingly perfect a team you have created. You are the Shaolin Monks of Music. You ARE the revolution. That said, you new App is genius! Crisp, clean, low footprint, perfect maximization of OS and platform utilization and the aesthetic attention to detail is both subtle and sublime. Outstanding accomplishment! As far as the whiners who confuse web with apps and have never coded a line - ignore them; this version of you app reflects the excellence and vision that guides your exquisite and critically necessary presence on earth. Gratitude sisters & brothers - inspired use of tech & heart - love this app! -
It's so good, I like that you can play your playlist offline too. It really helps because you can listen on the bus or bike or even car, whatever occasion! My only problem is that the widgets and overall look is boxed up, this just makes it look really old and overcomplicated. Instead, if it was given a minimalistic look by rounding the edges, it would look so much better. But I am still giving 5 stars 😁

Very good but some issues
So I’ve been using this app for the past 3 years and it has been amazing, but somethings I would wish could change as well as some issues I’ve ran into. The first thing is the UI, if I type in a song and I spell it wrong I wish it could put up something close to that and not say “ No Results”. Second thing is that I wish when you went into your saved playlist that you would start at the bottom or the newest song and not the top, but those I can live with so I own an IPhone X, I’m not showing off or anything but this thing has amazing speakers and for some reason when I play a song it crackles and pops which is soooo annoying, I’m an audio geek and I can not listen to a song when it cracks and pops it’s just infuriating. And the last thing is something that I’ve wanted for so long is to be able to post songs from your phone because not all of us own computers, and or laptops but the option to be able to post songs from your phone would be awesome. I hope you bring these ideas in consideration and hopefully are able to fix that bug but anyways I love this app and this is the only way to listen to songs that are posted by non singers or artists. -
I don't really know what to think at this point. I used to really love this app, I could listen to all my music for free with occasional ads I didn't mind, but lately it's gotten really buggy and crashes alot not to mention there will literally be two 30 second unskippable ads in a row every two songs and it's really annoying. Not sure if I'll stick with soundcloud if this keeps up, which is a shame because it's really nice otherwise.

Very great but some difficulties
Hello I’ve been a SoundCloud user since 2012 but didn’t really get into it until 2013. I would like to say SoundCloud is fantastic. However, I have problems listening to music without it cutting off every 30 seconds. Then once I press play, the same thing keeps happening. Also, as someone that makes music, I hate that there’s a pay wall behind me seeing simple things as who’s listening all over the world. Why should I by SoundCloud Go just to see things like that? The least I’m buying it for is playing music offline, that’s about it. Aside from that, I feel like SoundCloud Go is just not even worth it. I liked using SoundCloud until y’all introduced SoundCloud Go. Which basically limited us from listening to big artist on there giving us 30 seconds of a song just so we can buy that pay wall to listen to a full song we can listen to on other music apps. Not to mention the spotlight on our profiles. Are you seriously going to make us pay for that? That’s like paying $5 just to pin a tweet on Twitter. All I’m saying is I love SoundCloud, but I can’t stand it when they’re trying to beat around the bush just to make us pay for something. -
🤦🏽♂️
I have been a Soundcloud Go user for several years now. I have no problem paying for this subscription because I love this app, however there are issues which I feel if addressed, could make this app much better. For years I have dealt with tracks out of my likes being deleted or removed. I understand many of these tracks are leaked and therefore are not supposed to be on the app, however this is not the case for all songs that are removed. There is nothing worse than wanting to listen to a song and not being able to find it. Out of my 1,500 + likes I cannot remember the names of all songs I like. I believe if these tracks are deleted it would be very helpful that instead of them simply being taken down, they should still exist in your likes, even if you can’t listen to them. This way, I’m not really losing my music. I’d still be able to find the songs elsewhere, it’s just so frustrating having music disappear. Please address this issue. Also fix your search algorithms!! Neither of these issues seem like they would be difficult to address. Please fix for the sake of users!! Makes me rethink paying my subscription. -
I've been using SoundCloud for years and now it feels like the quality is dropping. I can't move songs around in my own lists anymore. They jump back to where they were instead of where I put them. I also haven't gotten a skippable ad in what feels like ages, leaving me to hear almost a full minute of ads informing me not to smoke. Other than that, good app.
-
AMAZING TRUST
-
Good app
-
The best, point blank.
-
Its really awesome of the amount of music and albums that are on this app but the amount of ads at this point is getting ridiculous. I getting more into using this app now and for some apparent reason all I get is ads and ads and ads after songs I listen to. Please narrow the ads down I know that you guys are getting plenty of money but please stop with the ads just for one bit cuz its honestly a big problem at this point.

I love soundcloud but the app on my android been slow, like lagging takes long to play other songs when i skip is using too much ram too is kinda annoying

You need SoundCloud
It’s by far the best music and created platform out there yes there are flaws but not many every week you get a personal list of songs recommended for you from your listening history so you can discover more music and Artist you may like unlike other music platforms you can upload to and you can support small artists to help them grow it shows you the other side of music you have been missing out on my taste in music has changed so much for the better because of SoundCloud. You can find it or songs from popular artists today and see how they started you can’t get that anywhere else. It’s so easy to find the music you like and it will help you grown as a person to. I been using it for 1 and a half now and it gets better every day the best thing is it’s free and SoundCloud go is only 5 bucks it’s worth it. So all in all if you want to grown as a listener or start your career use SoundCloud. -
Lovin it, but a few issues tho
I’ve been using SoundCloud for quite while, and, I’ve got to say, this is the very best music application I’ve ever used. However, I spotted some issues with its latest update. I know that you’ve gotten rid of the tab for the music thingy (idk what to call it) and it’s now much easier to access now that it’s on the bottom, but when I tried moving around all of my music, instead it just brang that up and so it made it really annoying and difficult to edit. One other thing I found was that it never automatically replayed my songs, so I have to do it manually every time. It usually works, but most of the time, but this actually takes place whenever it’s playing the last song in any of my playlists. Other than these two things that hopefully you guys are able to fix, I’d say that SoundCloud is a really great app to use for any kind of music-related activity. -SquirtleXD -
Love it BUT...
I love SoundCloud i tell everybody about it it has a great mix or new and old artists. From people who are already big to helping others reach that goal, that’s one of the reasons I love SoundCloud. However, I just got an iPhone and im not able to “add next” to my songs which means instead of being able to in a sense create a playlist I have to go look and wait for one song to be completely over then click my other one.. Instead of just have it play next and be ready. I have no idea why this was removed or if it’s just for iPhones or what but it’s terrible. I would love if this feature is back so i can stop having to look through my 300+ songs play the one I want next instead of just adding it to the que . Bring back the add next buttons and the button that allows me to see what’s playing next and so I’m able to switch them. Bring them back! -
Overall Excellent
Been using SoundCloud for a couple years, everything checks out except when I am listening to SoundCloud through my blue tooth speaker, after a song ends and it goes to the next one, it just randomly stops playing. Then after another song comes on then it will work. Nothing to major just a little annoying. I have restarted and rebooted my phone as well as my Bluetooth speaker numerous times. Hoping this can be fixed. Thanks y'all. UPDATE : you guys deleted all of my liked tracks which was my playlist essentially. And now it fails every time I try to sign in. I’m trying to change my password but can’t even do that. Give me all my liked tracks back and the star rating will go back to 5. Final Update: liked tracks are coming back. Not sure what happened. Thanks for the fix, if not then I’m glad the glitch fixed itself out. -
I Love SoundCloud, but I had its down sides
This app has always been my preferred method to post my music to. I’ve been a creator nearly 3 years and it’s just a useful tool to spread your word. Anyways, I have friends who are telling me they can’t repost my content, basically they attempt to repost but it doesn’t show up on there profile, I don’t receive a notification either, we decided to test it out, and yeah there’s certain artist that they tell the user they reposted the track and it never did, never shows up, yet when they re post bigger artists it shows up immediately, so what I feel SoundCloud is doing is restricting smaller artist from “to much recognition” Why do you allow bigger artists content to be displayed as repost but not artist at the bottom? If I can figure this out, I will post more info, but that just seems weird. Other then that the app is amazing. -
Turtle Game Productions
We’ve been looking for a way to tap into the everyday collective of true lyrical rappers and wannabes alike to find out what’s really good and trending up to be hopefully a resurgence of Consciousness in Rap that's now being wrapped around Spiritual & Mental Enlightenment. To our dismay to many of or New Rappers have yet to educate themselves on the importance of positive WORDS pumped out to their newly captive audience. We must start making committed efforts to move pass decadence. Existing and espiring Rappers alike have to Stop Playing into the Hands of Dirty Heartless Music Industry Excutives that have Killed the Rap Game by promoting Negetive Content and giving a stamp of approval for Self Destruction of its listeners whiles knowing its marketing is targeted especially to those living in a poverty state of mind. It's our hope with this new and Exciting Platform called SoundCloud and other similar platforms will be a Gateway for those that process the courage and Lyrical Talent to Speak Life & Light into the Game without Demeaning words like N:gg@s & B:thęs as Verse Starters & Lyrical Fillers and will soon come out of the Darkness Blazing into the Light 🔥 and Spark ⚡️a Revolution of Uplifting Selfless Flows that will Once again give Rap a New Face of Unstoppable passion that will Change the World 🌍 moving it back into its Devine Order! Asè, Power of Words The World is Waiting... LETS GO!.. Thx, SOUNDCLOUD

Sad
I’ve had this app for around 3 years and I had around 300 sounds that I had in my liked section because all of them wouldn’t fit in a playlist and I was okay with it. During those 3 years I loved it because I like underground rappers starting from SoundCloud and rising to the top and I would always search for new artist just so I wouldn’t have the same music as everybody else and I’d always show my friends and they’d always ask who it is and for me that’s a compliment cause putting someone on a new artist always makes me feel like that boy. But anyways a couple days ago when I was going to show my friend a couple new songs I found I went to the like section and all of my music that I had liked were gone. All those 3 years of searching for new music that little to no one has heard before done the drain and y’all don’t know how sad I felt cause now I’m never going to get to listen to those songs again because I dug really deep to find them and I’m not going to waste my time searching for it again. Soundcloud staff members, if you happen to see this please pleaseeee let me know if there’s anyway you guys can get my music back that’s all I want😭 -
wow, i’m really frustrated
okay so i always fall alseep with music on and i suddenly realized that my songs were cutting short, so i go to the app and look at my 200 sum playlist and OVER HALF of my playlist is go+ and i was listening to the whole songs earlier today. i understand y’all need to make money but clam down all my Phora, Russ, billie, peep, and some of my other songs are all go+ i need to listen to my music and i don’t have any money literally i can’t pay for music that’s why i use sound cloud but now that over half my playlist is just go+ i guess i’m going to have to listen on yt and i hate listening on yt bc you can’t go off of it i can’t sleep with music on in yt so i wish that you would take go+ off of songs cause i could easily stop using soundcloud i don’t want to but if i can’t listen to my music i’ll have to compromise and i love soundcloud don’t get me wrong but omg y’all non of my songs are longer than a preview and i hope you guys can take the go+ off songs i’m so sick of my songs being 30 sec long so please listen to me, because i speak for millions you should get enough money from people using your app? come on y’all -
Mobile App Bugs
I’ve been experiencing two separate issues. The first one happenes when I’m streaming SoundCloud via blue tooth and the mobile app gets stuck in a loop. It plays the song then an ad and then the same song again and the same ad. So far the only way I have figured out to cancel the loop is to restart the app. The second issue I’m experiencing is (and it’s fairly difficult to explain) when ever I create a station from a song I like on the mobile app, it creates a station but down at the bottom of the screen where it shows the playlist for the station, it queues up some where between two and seven copies of the same song. All the copies of the song play at one time, but audio wise, only one plays. This problem does not stop when I close and restart the app, and it seems to happen to any song, even ones that are not in my “Likes”. I really enjoy SoundCloud, and it is my first choice when deciding what platform to listen to music on and it’s always disappointing to discover a bug. That being said, thank you for taking the time to read this. -
Good music app! I can play it offline for some of the songs. But, something that I don't like is when the play button turned pause everytime I swipe my screen and it's kinda annoying. Overall i love this app even though some of the songs is not available in my country. So far, I didn't receive any advertisement during playing songs, so it's great.
-
It’s okay, but...
So I don’t really write reviews, but I have an issue or two (maybe more) with the app that really bugs me. One: the pause/play button on the control center/lock screen. I tap the pause button, but the music keeps playing anyways. I have to soft reset my phone each time, and it’s exhausting. Two: sometimes my music starts to crackle. It’s rare, but it’s so annoying when it does happen. Three: when I add a song to a playlist, it adds it all the way down to the bottom instead to the top, and when you have a long playlist, hitting edit at the top, scrolling all the way to the bottom, and waiting for the song to be dragged all the way up is also exhausting. Four: sometimes the time stops, so the song will be going, but it’ll say something like 0:10 when it’s just about over. And to fix it, I have to drag the dot to a different time, hoping it’ll land on something close, but when you don’t know what second it’s on, it’ll mess up the song, and ruin the listening experience. Other than that, it’s easy to use. But please fix these four problems. -
Amazing! But just one problem..
SoundCloud is an amazing app to use! I don’t really mind the Ads because I don’t really have any money to upgrade so I just stay with the regular SoundCloud instead of SoundCloud go. I’ve used this app for about 5 years now but since this year, I’ve started to notice a problem whenever I search for any music. Every time I search for music, I start to listen to it without liking it (because sometimes I forget to do that). But every time the song ends, or I try to look for a different version of the song, it always automatically skips to a different type of song that’s not under the title I searched for. This has been a constant issue for a few months so I decided to delete the app and try again, then it started to work like usual. But now, just a few seconds ago, the same problem popped up again. I don’t know if it’s a glitch in the system or just something that was included in the new update. But whatever it is, I’m not so happy with it. Other than that, that’s all I really have to say for the app whatsoever. -
Fix the app
The following is complaints about the mobile Soundcloud: Soundcloud is a good music app, not to lie. The ads are horrifyingly long, especially when you get a 30 second ad that you cannot skip. I can last a 15 second ad, but the ads are not skippable. Also another thing is if your new and you try to do the verification thing on mobile, it is possible the email won’t send at all. I’ve seen this on many other phones. Also, editing playlists most rearranging the songs don’t save until you repeatedly do it. Editing the name of the playlist I haven’t found anyway yet since. Another reason, are the visual bugs. Sometimes when loading in a song after an ad or so, the ad information shows up, but the song still plays. You can’t see the song until you close out of the ad and/or song. Also, a suggestion I’d like to make is you can verify your email whenever you want to, not while you’re editing your profile. Not trying to hate the app, it is pretty good, the main problems are the playlists bugs, and ads.

Playlist Organization
SoundCloud is great but there are a lot of glitches with playlists that need to be fixed. Trying to rearrange your songs in your own playlists is a hassle, it takes multiple tries to get the song to permanently move because it often just reverts back to where it was right after you moved it. I always have to close then reopen the open to check and make sure my songs moved to where I wanted them to. Also the icons you can upload for your playlist cover never seem to update unless you actually open up and go into the playlist. This doesn’t seem to be much of an issue on the desktop but on mobile my set display cover is never what I picked, it’s usually automatically always the same picture as the first song in that playlist. This gets really irritating because if I want people to check out my playlists, the first thing they see is the display image and I would rather them see the one I chose than of the picture from someone’s track! Lastly, please incorporate the option to move around your playlists. I have playlists from months ago that are at the way end of my profile and would rather have some of those at the forefront of my profile when you visit it. Really hope you consider ideas to fix these problems. Otherwise great app and I’ll always be a user. -
I don't really know what to think at this point. I used to really love this app, I could listen to all my music for free with occasional ads I didn't mind, but lately it's gotten really buggy and crashes alot not to mention there will literally be two 30 second unskippable ads in a row every two songs and it's really annoying. Not sure if I'll stick with soundcloud if this keeps up, which is a shame because it's really nice otherwise.
-
I've been using SoundCloud for years and now it feels like the quality is dropping. I can't move songs around in my own lists anymore. They jump back to where they were instead of where I put them. I also haven't gotten a skippable ad in what feels like ages, leaving me to hear almost a full minute of ads informing me not to smoke. Other than that, good app.
-
This app is 10 years old and you still haven't created a way to message people or respond to messages, or even view them. Plus I feel the ads have drastically increased in number recently. I get a 2 unskippable ads almost every other song. I also feel its a little unorganized. Other than that its probably one of the best music streaming apps.
-
Soundcloud is amazing but messaging is very problematic: 1. Still no messaging function on mobile 2020. 2. You cannot unsend messages. Even gmail let's you unsend emails. 3. You cannot see messaging history when you message someone from their profile. So you dont know if you texted them before. 4. And there is no way to search for contacts in your inbox except primitive scrolling. 5. You cannot click on the name or picture of a user who didn't reply to you. PLEASE Soundcloud fix these.
-
Well, i have nothing to say so far, the app usage is good but there is one problem that came up to me nowadays and i need a fast answer from the developers, The app keeps signing me out whenever i go out after some time! Anytime i come to play something i have to sign in again! I used to listen to music offline from my history tracks and it used to be good but why do i have to sign in to it everytime i enter??
-
I like it for music, I guess.
I think what truly ruins the experience is the same culprit that could ruin any music app, ads are one of the main reasons I dislike using this app, they’re long, repetitive, and after a while become very annoying. It doesn’t help that the only ads you get are anti-smoking, I get it, smoking is bad, guys. But can we get some different ads, maybe instead of interrupting the music experience, just do pop-ups, at least get some new shorter ads. And don’t give us the option to skip ads if the ad ends before the skip timer, its infuriating. The timer will be 30 seconds and the ad will end just before. Don’t give us the option if we can’t use it. This has become more of a review on anti-smoking ads. I don’t smoke and I find these ads annoying, they’re deliberately unnerving. They don’t make me thinking “stop smoking” they make me think “ew why, I don’t even smoke why I’m I forced to endure this”. Besides this I think there’s a genre for everyone here, and you can find some nice music here that you can’t hear on the radio, though I’m mostly here for the soundclown memes. -
not horrible, but not perfect
there are many minor issue about the app, like how you cant re arrange your liked songs and have to add every song to a playlist to control their positions (which i dont understand why thats even a thing). But the main 2 issues i have with this is the amount of times the app refreshes after its opened, to the point where it becomes the norm, and the amount of ads it give. The app constantly gives me ads in between songs and ruin the vibe, i could be listening to some sentimental music at high volume then get cut off by some guy talking about a brand new car i never knew even existed, exploading my ears by how loud the ads are, and not only that, sometimes it gives me 2 ads back to back, both 30 whole seconds, making me waste an entire minute listening to ads when i could of been done with the second song in the queue. many problems occur in the app, but other than that, the music is crispy, they give a variaty of different music every week, and it can play in the background. Its a fairly good app but its not perfect. -
Obnoxious, but usable.
Ok, never thought I would write one of these, but I need to set this straight, just in case I’m not crazy. I love soundcloud, I really do. I’ve been using it for ages and it’s one of the only music apps that lets you stream underground music instead of mainstream music, of which I listen to more often. However, it was definitely better before. Not sure when, but years ago I used SoundCloud ad free without payment. It was awesome, it really was, and ads came up maybe one a day. However, one day, more and more ads came up, however I could skip them after like five seconds, so it was fine. But recently, around a couple months, I’ve been getting 30 second non skippable ads that come up after every like two songs. This is absolutely outrageous. I don’t mind an ad or two, but this many is just awe full. If you are going to throw ads at me like this, use banners. Really. And if you still can’t do THAT, at least make the ads easily skippable, and definitely not 30 seconds. No one is going to see this I’m guessing but I had to vent. -
GO+ problem
So I was loving the app until I woke up this afternoon and came to see more than half my songs were suddenly GO+ when before they were free. I’m seriously freaking out because all of my favorite songs are now previews and I have no idea what to do. I tried to see if anyone else was having problems in the comment sections and it seems like no one else is having this same problem. I seriously do not want to switch over to another music app just because SoundCloud decided to make half the songs GO+. And I’m not just talking about 1 artist suddenly switching from free to GO+ I’m saying multiple artists songs I have saved are GO+ now so it’s not an singular artist I’m talking about. Unless these artist just happened to talk to each other and decided “Hey why don’t we make our songs GO+ for no reason at all!”. Now that’s me being sarcastic, but I’m seriously freaking out because I can’t live through quarantine without my music. Please SoundCloud do something about this and don’t just scroll by ignoring the people’s problems.

In advance, I'll warn you – this only began during the new update. I've handeled this for a week. I've had soundcloud for 3 years, and I've never seen it behave like this. It worked one time. When I tried to re-open it, it gave the message "you can't have more than one active account". Thing is, nobody else in my household is using soundcloud at these points of time. Yes, I did try multiple times to make soundcloud work – but no avail. I respect your app, but please fix it up.
-
The most recent update (2 days prior to this review) totally f*ed the app up. Its continually crashing and my husband and I cannot use the app at the same time. We were both using the app on our phones in other rooms, playing separate things, and it would stop on one phone. If the we pushed play, it would stop on the other person's phone.
-
I've been using Soundcloud for years and it's been fine, but a few months ago the app shutdown on me and has refused to come back on since. Every time I try to boot it up or even delete it, it shuts my phone completely off and I have to restart it. Not to mention that I can't log in to Soundcloud on Chrome and thus have very few ways to access my music now.

App terrible interface but desktop great! Make them the same!
The app is so terrible compared to the desktop version. The searches never come up the they do on desktop, I never see my page with my spotlight 5 tracks when I open it up, i have to scroll forever just to get to what is normally right there on my desktop.... the app gets ZERO. As an artist and some one and I are talking about music and who I like and what I sound like I’d like to be able to easily show them or find the name of the musician I was listening too earlier that day etc. I have more specific complaints but these are the ones that come to mind. The ‘usability’ and ease of interface is just terrible on the app version. I gave an 8 or something for the recommendation of SoundCloud to people but , it would have been a 10 if the stupid interface on the app wasn’t so clunky. The two interfaces (desk and app) should look and work essentially the same. A girl told me it was impossible for her to figure out how to repost my song on the app version. she gave up in frustration. In some way that reflects on me and I lost a precious repost. Also I’d like to be able to link my two accounts , even if it is just slightly more a month to have both on premium. That last note is not about the app obviously. Thanks for listening. -
This app used to be my go to for music. I don't know what happened to it . 1 It keeps adding music from completely different languages in my playlist . I've tried removing the songs but they just keep getting added I have no idea why. I don't even understand the languages and it's so frustrating .2 every now and then When I minimize the app the music stops and I have to go back into the app to push play again and as soon as I minimize it stops. Highly Annoying . Please fix this and I'll give 5*

Ads!!!!!!!!!
I love the music I can find on the SoundCloud platform but I cannot STAND the way you have set up users to consume ads! Firstly, there used to be a way to skip most ads after 15 seconds but that feature seems to have been completely removed. Next, you guys place an ad after almost EVERYYYYY song and not to mention the fact that you also have put ads BEFORE a song plays when you manually change songs! The app is only good because of the ARTISTS music that we have access to, but this app/platform is losing me day-by-day and makes me want to download the music and get off the app altogether!!!!!!! Lastly, one of the most annoying parts of your ad setup is the fact that when you do click another song and an ad plays——— YOU CAN’T LEAVE THE *BLEEPING* APP!!!!! You HAVEEEE to let the 30 second ad play fully in its entirety with no ability to skip halfway through or to close the app to listen while continuing to do something else on another app like most do! I guess you can just do like me and close/relaunch the app a million times but it’s getting absolutely so ridiculous and frustrating that I had to let SOMEONE who might be involved in this terrible setup know it needs to be fixed or DRAMATICALLY reduced!!!!!!! -
Awesome app with a descent selection of music and wide variety of talented rappers. One thing that really bugs me though is that the music will every now and again stop and won't be playable until you reset the app. It'd be awesome if they could fix it so that the people who wouldn't mind paying for the subscription wouldn't have to deal with a critical bug like this one, but aside from this major nuisance it's a nice app platform.
-
On my old phone I had little to no ads. Now on this new phone I listen to one maybe two songs and get two 30 second ads. I know it sounds like it's not worth complaining about or even commenting about, but I dont think the song to ad ratio is fair. I'll put up with it for a few more days, but I think I'm on the verge of my breaking point and I'm probably going to switch to spotify...

Lots of minor/medium problems
SoundCloud is fine. I like that it’s free. There are some songs, like Elise by The Greeting Committee, that used to be free but now require a premium for you to listen to. I’d prefer if more were free, but beggars can’t be choosers. Anyways, I don’t even know if that decision is up to SoundCloud or the individual creators. There are some more glaring problems, though. For one, when I try to scroll down quickly, the app gets really laggy, shows me one frame a second, and scrolls down incredibly slow. It’s infuriating when I’m trying to go low down in my likes songs. Another issue is finding when a song was posted or looking at its description. Both of these are impossible on the SoundCloud app. It seems that the developers only care about the computer version of SoundCloud, when it is much, much better as a mobile app. I have no clue why you would focus on the computer more. It’s not like I can carry a computer in my pocket while it’s connected to headphones or anything. Also, when someone replies to one of my comments I’d like to be notified. This one is just a small suggestion. I usually like the app, but it needs major, major polishing. Please update it! -
It's pretty meh feels like this app gets worse with every update. Recently there has been a bug or glitch where any music that you try to listen to will get choppy, and closing and opening the app again does nothing to fix it, this also goes for disabling and uninstalling the app and even resting and shuting off your phone.

Missing key feature
The ‘Get info’ button was removed/ never included/ not available. Why go out of your way to remove an important feature artists use to express or communicate with their listeners. -
Generally awesome - but lately terrible
I don’t understand why in three years of being a SoundcloudGo subscriber I’ve never ran into the issues I have in the last three weeks. I saved my entire offline listening library, force closes when I try to download everything that got deleted, force closes randomly during play, force closes scrolling through my library. Any help would be appreciated, I’m insanely close to dropping SoundCloud all together and switching to Spotify - which I hate. -
Easy app too many ads.
I use sound cloud to work out because the accessibility is so easy unlike spotify where i need to “click to watch ad to get 30 mins of add free music” which ruins my workout. However, soundcloud literally gives you 2 thirty second ads that you aren’t able to skip literally after listening to two songs. The ads are repetitive cycle between the same ones everytime. Please lessen the ads and your app with will be excellent. -
ads
can’t even go 5 min without ads, there’s a ad after a song if you replay, ad if you skip, ad when you play the first song, and they’re all 1 min -
Ever Increasing Adds
Have used for roughly 5 years now, over time the amount of pop ups adds and interruptions unless you pay for their premium has steadily increased and using the service has been an experience of mounting annoyance rather than pleasant enjoyment. I hope to find another way to compile and enjoy the music I like and upon finding it I will be dropping SoundCloud without a second thought, and glad to put the aggravation behind me. -
All Ads
Would be a great app but not worth it after the endless adds -
Let’s talk about SoundCloud
So if you are reading this keep reading so I have been using sound cloud for over 4 years now and up until year 4 I could listen to music off line if I loaned to it onece when I was online and a get that I was still fine with it cuz I had data but in my school I barraly get one bar so I got SoundCloud go beacuse it says offline listing and it’s content work yes I don’t get ads but I can’t listen to it offline if SoundCloud could respond and help me out I would gladly change my review to a 5 star beacuse I do love this app -
Underwhelming to say the least
If I get one more modal popover taking me away from what I’m doing I’m going to update to a one star review. Even without the worst modal UX in the history of apps (seriously, fire the team who thought those modals were a good idea) the app lags behind the desktop and has for years. -
Too many ads
30 second ads have increased -
Go
I’m sorry but SoundCloud is going to go down, there putting everything on go and we can’t enjoy the music, deleting for that reason.

In the middle of me pitching a new track, a full commercial ad comes on and I could not stop it. It continues to play even with the app closed as I'm panicking. Also, for some reason, after my track ends, it starts a Playlist I hate with vulgar rap lyrics. Not my type of music. I do Christian Music I can't use this app for church events. Why are your algorithms referring this genre of music to me?
-
Great, but the notification bar lacks patience. Any other app that plays sound and, as if it caught me cheating, it closes and leaves to visit her older, more successful sister in New Jersey. Not good when I'm vibing while driving. *EDIT* Oh yeah, the surplus of ads; what the hell? -1 star.
-
I'm sorry, but fix your stuff.. the timeline often moves without any sound playing, so as it starts playing (if it does) I have to play the song from the start to sync the song with the timeline. Happened on the old phone, thought that was my phone's fault but on the new one it's even worse. Also after I get a notification the volume ducks but doesn't come back up afterwards
-
I've been using this app for years without any issues but the latest update seems to have broken it. I'm finding that I'm listening to something then it just crashes midway through. Also, the timer on the track now doesn't move either, so when I go back to try to fix the crashing, it looks like I'm right at the start of the track again. Presume another update patch is needed.

So many issues
I’ve been meaning to write a review of this app for some time. First off, Soundcloud is an amazing service and I love it, but the iOS app is littered with flaws and bugs and has been since it was created. I’ve used this app on the iPhone 5/6/7/8 and now XS and with every “new” feature added (which was available then taken away on the earliest versions of the app) a new host of bugs come along. Ones that persist with every update. Random songs in my collection will not play and neither will any song I attempt to play afterward unless I quit the app. As long as I avoid the specific songs I’ve learned crash the app this doesn’t happen, but my music collection that goes back nearly 9 years has a lot of these “landmine” type tracks. The second to last update somehow removed a random amount of my liked songs!! The only solution is to delete and reinstall the app which means I have to re-download my entire collection! I pay for this app! Like I said it’s nearly 9 years worth of music and takes most of the day. If I don’t plug my phone in and turn the sleep function off while it re-downloads every song it skips ones. I could go on and on and on. -
One Big Dislike
SoundCloud I hope your reading this. The one thing that is keeping me from uploading more tracks and being able to see all the people who has liked or listened to my tracks like I used to is SoundCloud Go. I know you guys are probably losing money and your money thirsty but it doesn’t mean you have to have all these aspiring music producers pay monthly just to upload more tracks or view all the likes or listeners, just have people pay monthly to stream exclusive music and nothing else. I’m sure a lot of people would disagree with me on this but for a somewhat broke producer who’s paying monthly for other subscriptions, I just don’t have enough money to pay for SoundCloud Go, just to upload more tracks and other stuff I mentioned earlier. I hope you guys understand and wish to fix this problem that me and probably a few others are going through. Now, all you guys have done is rearrange some icons and make the app look somewhat cool, but you guys haven’t added anything new yet to the app which means I’m still very very disappointed. After every update this platform has made, it keeps getting worse. -
Seriously?
I referred maybe 10 friends already to this app. This last version. I took a chance and still downloaded it, it’s broken. Crashes on each song I play. Maybe you should stop running all those ads? Every 2 songs there is a new ad “please upgrade to SoundCloud go” you have now convinced me why I shouldn’t update and wait for jailbreaks to block all those ads. You want to tarnish your name so bad that you put so many ads that it crashes your app. Good job! Driving back from a outing and sitting with a girl listening to ads, awesome. Why would I do that? I already pay for other things. We normal people can’t afford to buy so many useless subscriptions here and there. I can’t believe this. Also seriously, what happened to the easy way to get to playlists? They used to be big icons easy to click now as I am driving I can barely see my icons which discourages me from using this app, if I can’t see my playlists I won’t use the app. Period. I’m a veteran user from iPhone 5 (7.0.4) to iPhone X finally and each upgrade I get with my phones your app gets worse. How is that for useless programming? -
You need to fix this
Sound cloud was great I could listen to all he latest songs and stuff and all my favorite people but now I they are a Verified artist you have to have sound cloud go or plus just to listen to music of there’s it so so gay I am going to ducking delete sound cloud I liked it before when I just had to listen to a few adds then I could hear the music with my phone not open but now I can fix this sound cloud or you are going to lose a lot of people and money from add revenue.i used to love sound cloud so much never had a problem not even the adds I got used to them and they rarely popped up as a problem and I thought I would never delete this app if my phone but I might because this is bull I have to pay just to listen to music lie there is some free stuff but most of it is no longer available to be listened to anymore with out sound cloud plus/go and I am online listening so I shouldn’t have to pay but I do it only lets me preview the sounds. Sincerely, angry Customer -
Advertisements
I usually don’t care about advertisements very much. However, SoundCloud advertisements are ridiculously obnoxious. Every few songs or so one plays, and that is perfectly fine. The issue is how every single one is anti-vape or anti-drug. I get the ideas. Do I need to hear an annoying cheesy anti drug ad every five minutes? NO. The one’s that are especially terrible are the anti-vaping ones. One of the ads plays the sound of a dog licking something after asking me to imagine French kissing a poodle and then relates it to vaping. What is wrong with people and Soundcloud for playing a disgusting ad like that? It does nothing to prevent vaping and pisses off listeners like me who couldn’t care less about vaping. In fact, it makes me want to vape just because of how disgusting the ad is. It’s disgusting and infuriating, so I really hope SoundCloud changes what the ads are that they play. I’m sure there are more advertisement offers than the nasty anti-vape ones that are utterly useless that make me want to tear my hair out. -
I will be unsubscribing to SoundCloud Go
I have been a SoundCloud Go member for over a year now and SoundCloud has always been my favorite streaming service, until now. Currently, the app uses data to play songs that I have downloaded so I can play them offline and when trying to change songs it continues to play the original song while showing the song I clicked in’s cover photo. Once this happen I can’t swipe right or left on the song in the listening tab even if the song is part of a playlist and if I press pause or play those actions happen for the original song and not the one who’s cover page I’m looking at. I have never seen problems like these in the app and have always been a loyal SoundCloud Go user, however if I can’t even listen to the music offline that I’m paying for it then why would I pay. My profile name is Gleason1214. I hope these issues are addressed and when they are I will resubscribe. Note: I would give a working SoundCloud app 5 stars.
