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 -
Jan 16, 2021 I have used SoundCloud for the past 10 years or so (since 2012) and have amassed 2 big Playlist on there for electronic music. I found 2 of my all time favorite artist on SoundCloud and dont really have any complaints. Its one of the few apps that is actually really solid imo doesn't glitch, doesn't crash. The ads are only frustrating because you cannot do anything until they're done playing. I would like to see in the future maybe be able to "add" a next up so the ads still can play.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 -
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 -
Jan 10, 2021 Great app love it, it's been around for a minute. Great streaming platform and useful for uploads. Thanks soundcloud, just have 1 minor inconvenience. When I'm already listening to music, then go to open the app again it goes to an advertisement. This occurs halfway through my song and it's frustrating. Love to see this fixed thanks. -kennysmokesmore

Jan 9, 2021 This is a nice app but it have some bugs! When I jump to another app screen then go back, it jumps to next track no matter what! The app keep stop playing every 1 ou 2 minutes. Sometimes it also randomly restart the music playing from the begining for no reason at all. It doesn't hold listening history anymore. Don't know why, my device is a brand new Galaxy M51 and on another device something similar is happening.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 -
Jan 19, 2021 How can you have a streaming service without the Beatles and Bob Segar catalogs. Not to mention the horrible sound quality. There's a bunch of bad cover versions of good songs. I'M NOT Impressed. There's much better streaming services.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 -
Jan 12, 2021 I cannot access as the app or the website anymore. The app shows unexpected error and does not allow me to sign it or create a new account whereas the site shows the site can't be reached. This started a few days before new year and I can't figure out why all this problems have started suddenly. What am I to do? Pls help.more

Jan 13, 2021 I changed a lot of phones in 7 years, but everytime I downloaded soundcloud. A lot of creative people are using this platform to get some attention, some of them, thanks to SC, are rich now. People are not realizing that this platform set a stone for a new generation of music when artists do not need to be signed to huge record labels, but they can do their music freely. LOVE!!!more -
Jan 8, 2021 Overall, SoundCloud is in my opinion the best platform for listening and discovering music. It creates a closer and more direct connection between artists and listeners. The repost and like features between artists is what creates the experiences. However, I think that your experience is completely reliant in finding artists you like that also actively repost music. Sadley, the ai music discovery system and overall platform leaves much to be desired, but the format of SoundCloud is what makes itmore

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 -
Great Music App!
Dec 8, 2020 This app is really great for studying, and doesn’t require a subscription just to use like other music apps do. Although there is a SoundCloud Go+ subscription to unlock more creator features and listen premium tracks, the base experience is enough for small time creators and casual listeners. One feature I would love implemented is the ability to rearrange playlists that you’ve either created or saved. I like everything to be organized, and sometimes scrolling down to an old playlist I still use often, would be better served at the top of my list. One bug I’ve also noticed, is that sometimes the comments don’t appear, when opening the comment window. Sometimes two or three comments are listed by the little text bubble icon, but pulling up the comments just tells you that “this track doesn’t have any comments” Apparently it’s been an issue for awhile, so I assume it will be fixed sometime soon. One more recent issue in the latest update is just a minor visual bug. When adding something new to a playlist, only one of my playlist images load, but when browsing my playlists all the thumbnails for each playlist load fine. Thanks for reading!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

Jan 8, 2021 Whats wrong with SoundCloud ? Both the app and website are not working as they used to earlier. The pages don't open and have to keep refreshing again & again and then, at some point, they may just suddenly show up. The website same problem. When trying to log in, the login page also keeps showing error till trying many times after which it may work. SoundCloud never had these web site and app accessibility problems. What's really wrong ? Where is the problem and how can it be sorted ?more -
Jan 15, 2021 This is a good app but it gets agrivating trying to listen to the music and it just turns off randomly. I just updated thinking that would help but as soon as I got done updating; played music, my music stopped randomlly again. Another thing is trying to get the music I like is most time not on here or I cant get it because it has to get payed for. Please fix this and thank youmore -
I like it for music, I guess.
Aug 8, 2019 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.more -
Jan 12, 2021 It's ok needs major updating for wireless headphone users tho the set I have just freaks out when it gets half way into most of the songs I listen to and glitches out BUT biggest majority of this app is I wish even some songs that dont require premium can still be played even if they aren't available in the US I hate going to YouTube or spotify just because they are copyrighted and cant be bought on disc especially for the uncensored versions the remakes suck.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 -
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 -
Jan 11, 2021 Nowadays SoundCloud is getting worst .I think that problem come with last update the app continuously getting no internet connection screen while searching or playing from liked tracks and there is a big problem in liked tracks section I can't play most of my tracks it's showing like not playable . Plz do the need to fix the app and do a new update with fully corrected version of SoundCloud and it's urgent......more

Jan 9, 2021 This is a nice app but it have some bugs! When I jump to another app screen then go back, it jumps to next track no matter what! The app keep stop playing every 1 ou 2 minutes. Sometimes it also randomly restart the music playing from the begining for no reason at all. It doesn't hold listening history anymore. Don't know why, my device is a brand new Galaxy M51 and on another device something similar is happening.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 -
Jan 19, 2021 How can you have a streaming service without the Beatles and Bob Segar catalogs. Not to mention the horrible sound quality. There's a bunch of bad cover versions of good songs. I'M NOT Impressed. There's much better streaming services.more -
Jan 12, 2021 I cannot access as the app or the website anymore. The app shows unexpected error and does not allow me to sign it or create a new account whereas the site shows the site can't be reached. This started a few days before new year and I can't figure out why all this problems have started suddenly. What am I to do? Pls help.more -
Jan 14, 2021 One of the worse streaming platforms when it comes to wanting to listen to music. The only reason this app is even still being used is it's low threshold requirements for uploading music. The ads on the other hand are unacceptable.more
What’s Groovy
I have premium, but I'm still having a lot of little issues that are really annoying, ex. songs not playing, displaying the covers of other songs, not even showing the name of the song. it's not like it's an internet thing either, they're always downloaded or I'm using wifi to stream. I'm also having an issue getting the skip/reverse button to work when I'm out of the app, like it won't work regardless of how clearly I hit it or whatever. used to be great a couple years ago, now just annoying

What’s Subpar
Going to have to delete this. Used to like it, but now adverts are ruining it and so are all these 'preview' collections. You are basically trying to force people to get the subscription to get around the ads and preview parts. Not really free is it! Could be good but too many ads and they are around 30 seconds long. Much better out there without the annoying adverts.

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! -
I have used SoundCloud for the past 10 years or so (since 2012) and have amassed 2 big Playlist on there for electronic music. I found 2 of my all time favorite artist on SoundCloud and dont really have any complaints. Its one of the few apps that is actually really solid imo doesn't glitch, doesn't crash. The ads are only frustrating because you cannot do anything until they're done playing. I would like to see in the future maybe be able to "add" a next up so the ads still can play.

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. -
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! -
Great app love it, it's been around for a minute. Great streaming platform and useful for uploads. Thanks soundcloud, just have 1 minor inconvenience. When I'm already listening to music, then go to open the app again it goes to an advertisement. This occurs halfway through my song and it's frustrating. Love to see this fixed thanks. -kennysmokes

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 changed a lot of phones in 7 years, but everytime I downloaded soundcloud. A lot of creative people are using this platform to get some attention, some of them, thanks to SC, are rich now. People are not realizing that this platform set a stone for a new generation of music when artists do not need to be signed to huge record labels, but they can do their music freely. LOVE!!!

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. -

Great Music App!
This app is really great for studying, and doesn’t require a subscription just to use like other music apps do. Although there is a SoundCloud Go+ subscription to unlock more creator features and listen premium tracks, the base experience is enough for small time creators and casual listeners. One feature I would love implemented is the ability to rearrange playlists that you’ve either created or saved. I like everything to be organized, and sometimes scrolling down to an old playlist I still use often, would be better served at the top of my list. One bug I’ve also noticed, is that sometimes the comments don’t appear, when opening the comment window. Sometimes two or three comments are listed by the little text bubble icon, but pulling up the comments just tells you that “this track doesn’t have any comments” Apparently it’s been an issue for awhile, so I assume it will be fixed sometime soon. One more recent issue in the latest update is just a minor visual bug. When adding something new to a playlist, only one of my playlist images load, but when browsing my playlists all the thumbnails for each playlist load fine. Thanks for reading!

Overall, SoundCloud is in my opinion the best platform for listening and discovering music. It creates a closer and more direct connection between artists and listeners. The repost and like features between artists is what creates the experiences. However, I think that your experience is completely reliant in finding artists you like that also actively repost music. Sadley, the ai music discovery system and overall platform leaves much to be desired, but the format of SoundCloud is what makes it

Been using site for 7 years....love it,took out subscription to access mainstream comercial music a year ago which i hardly use....( just remembered took subscription out to avoid the adverts).....the search function is dreadfull but not a problem as i try and avoid using it.....if i'm seaching for a vauge track that i remember from years ago tend to use discogs or youtube to track down details,........great site.....just hope they alter it,again.....

It's a good app. I consistently recommend it to people who use Spotify, (f*** Spotify, it's trash) you see.. unlike Spotify, you can listen to the song you want.. WHEN YOU WANT. But the original reason I wrote the review is because the widget disappeared from my homescreen and it doesn't show up when I try to add it back. It's probably just the phone I have. But try to fix it. It's a Motorola e⁶

🤦🏽♂️
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. -
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😭 -
I love soundcloud a lot. You can listen to your favorite singers and listen to low rated artist which I think is cool. One thing I don't like about it is that sometimes I can't listen to a song because it's not available in my country but if I went to another app I could get it easily. I honestly HATE when apps do this because I shouldn't be deprived of the music I wanna listen to just because of where I live. But other than that it's a pretty good app I would recommend.

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. -
Fits my needs more than other big music apps, easier searching engine, allows more upload freedom. Only downside is not being able to afford the sorta high + subscription but I respect why it is so much. Less and faster ads than other apps which I love and appreciate, only critique is it randomly shuts down and starts up since 2018, I've had it on different devices, it still does it and does the shutting down it more than it used to.

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.

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. -
It's ok needs major updating for wireless headphone users tho the set I have just freaks out when it gets half way into most of the songs I listen to and glitches out BUT biggest majority of this app is I wish even some songs that dont require premium can still be played even if they aren't available in the US I hate going to YouTube or spotify just because they are copyrighted and cant be bought on disc especially for the uncensored versions the remakes suck.

UI is not very intuitive, and kind of annoying to use. For example, trying to visit an artists profile is unnecessarily cumbersome. Also, please add ability to review and send messages. I really can't understand why this feature has been missing for so long.

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.

This is a nice app but it have some bugs! When I jump to another app screen then go back, it jumps to next track no matter what! The app keep stop playing every 1 ou 2 minutes. Sometimes it also randomly restart the music playing from the begining for no reason at all. It doesn't hold listening history anymore. Don't know why, my device is a brand new Galaxy M51 and on another device something similar is happening.

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. -
How can you have a streaming service without the Beatles and Bob Segar catalogs. Not to mention the horrible sound quality. There's a bunch of bad cover versions of good songs. I'M NOT Impressed. There's much better streaming services.

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!!!!!!! -
I cannot access as the app or the website anymore. The app shows unexpected error and does not allow me to sign it or create a new account whereas the site shows the site can't be reached. This started a few days before new year and I can't figure out why all this problems have started suddenly. What am I to do? Pls help.

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! -
One of the worse streaming platforms when it comes to wanting to listen to music. The only reason this app is even still being used is it's low threshold requirements for uploading music. The ads on the other hand are unacceptable.

If i'm being honest this app as gone down from when I first had it like 3-4 year ago. I use to be able to go to different apps and still be able to listen to music but now the music just stops and doesn't let me listen to it if I go into another app.

Nowadays SoundCloud is getting worst .I think that problem come with last update the app continuously getting no internet connection screen while searching or playing from liked tracks and there is a big problem in liked tracks section I can't play most of my tracks it's showing like not playable . Plz do the need to fix the app and do a new update with fully corrected version of SoundCloud and it's urgent......
