Great but the comment section...
Feb 21, 2021 OK, so I bought this app A couple months ago to listen to unreleased music by some of my favorite artists. It was great for the first couple of weeks and still is now, but I have one issue with it and that’s the comment section. It says this app is it for 12-year-olds and up, but in the common section there is no filter in for explicit language, and recently there has been an uprising of spam messages from girls advertising for websites that are related to pornography and are not good for kids to see. I have not gone on any of these websites and I don’t plan on it either because they can get viruses, and I don’t watch that crap anyways. Definitely a great app but just be careful for links in the comment section. Be very careful, clicking on any of these links in the comments can easily put viruses on your phone even if it is an Apple device. Please be careful and I cannot stress this enough. It’s sad to see such an amazing app go to garbage from robot p⭐️sTo use this app to advertise. No other issues with the app, music is easy to move around from Playlist to Playlist. Definitely recommend but parents be careful with the links for your kids and us.more -
SoundCloud Rocks!
Feb 24, 2021 SoundCloud is absolutely incredible! I love to post my tunes on SoundCloud for friends and fam to listen to, and to store them too! I love to find new songs or even remixes of songs I love! It’s great bc I can listen to my fave artists for free, and I don’t mind the adds even! I love the dark mode built into the app, it looks great! I would personally suggest using SoundCloud to my friends and fam and others for music streaming for free or with Go or Go+. I only would like to say, it is disappointing when I post a song and am sure it is mine only, but the system says I’m copyrighting another song. I can’t pay to copyright my music, let alone prove it’s mine, and even if I could, I wouldn’t pay to copyright my tunes bc I’m NOT POPULAR AT ALL! I only have 16 followers, most of which r prob scam bc they all look alike and say about the same thing, “get known now for free” or “share your music easily and quickly by tapping this link!” or something of the sort, which is lame bc they r FAULSE! Complete fakes! I also wanted to let you know, I can’t view my all played history anymore in the app! It’s sad, the button is visible, “See more listening history” but whenever I click it, it won’t let me view my history, but I want to see all my history! If u could fix this annoying glitch that would be awesome! I love looking through my history and miss it! Thank you for a wonderful service!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 -
Apr 6, 2021 very good app and can be used without internet, my only complaint is that there are way too many adds at times. whenever I try pause a song it thinks I scrolled to another song giving me an add or it gives me an add in the middle of a song. otherwise it's a very good app if you want to listen to some songs without internet.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

Mar 19, 2021 Favorite music streaming app but some things are buggine me. When a track ends it doesn't play the next song if my phone is closed, if it's open it plays but stops after about 15 minutes. If I'm listening to a mix it stops playing after about 20 minutes. Not sure what happened to the app, has worked fine for the last 4-5 years. If they fix this issue I'll change my rating but right now it's a terrible app for streaming.more -
Mar 21, 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! 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 -
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 -
Apr 5, 2021 I have installed, uninstalled, quit using, and eventually reinstalled this app again. The reason I got rid of it to start with, is because it randomly starts playing. I completely close out, and if I start my car, make a call, or sometimes do nothing, the app just starts playing the song I listened to last. I only reinstalled again so I could 'like' a friend's piece of music.more

Newest updated version
Apr 5, 2021 I love this application. It provides you the liberty and constructive creativity to manage your profile to your likeness. Absolutely love the interactive connections between listeners, promoters, song writers, managers, producers, vocalists, etc. very profitable where downloading and uploading tracks from past and present eras all on one platform. User friendly. And most of all to be a user and have the freedom to be creative in your own way without judgement and persecution is what artistry is about. However upon the new upgrade I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or bug, but while editing my playlist it states that editing has failed and a notification pops up advising me to check my internet. I have two devices that use its platform. One for home and the other for travel. I’m not sure if other users or subscribers have came across this issue, and if not maybe it’s just other entities performing cybercrime activities on my devices. More evidence on my behalf anyways.more -
Mar 31, 2021 Really glitchy right now. Going between songs with a swipe is delayed for a few seconds or more. Hitting play or skip also has a strange delay. If I hit play three times when it's glitching, it will wait about 3 or 4 second, and then execute all three presses. Last thing, if I listen to songs with my screen off, and I re-open the running app, the screen shows the song I listened to last time I was in the app instead of the newest song even if 45 minutes later. It snaps back eventually.more -
Mar 28, 2021 Sound Cloud is the only option for my personal mobile media player! hands down the only app worth my time and energy. Although, just over the past two days my app has been experiencing random episodes where it chooses to shut down with no warning what so ever. Slightly annoying. But I just applied to update so I pray that will resolve the issue Wmore

Mar 28, 2021 I've been using SoundCloud for 2 years but there has been an issue that I've noticed. On my old phone, i used SoundCloud alot. And i could overlap hear it on different apps that didn't have music. But it seems to not let me hear the music on other apps. This is really, really triggering for me because I can't hear my music for a certain time . I got a new phone which is my current, and SoundCloud still does the same thing. Overall, SoundCloud is the best 😁👍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

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 -
Apr 6, 2021 very good app and can be used without internet, my only complaint is that there are way too many adds at times. whenever I try pause a song it thinks I scrolled to another song giving me an add or it gives me an add in the middle of a song. otherwise it's a very good app if you want to listen to some songs without internet.more -
Mar 29, 2021 I've used this app for years, and it's been great until recently. When it's playing music, the rest of my phone will glitch out - freezing, unable to use the pull down Android menu, unable to pause/play/skip the song unless I'm actually in the app. I don't know why it's happening but it has me seriously considering deleting the app, at least for a while! Terribly sadmore -
Apr 5, 2021 I actually liked this app not until some flaws appeared. It often changes the volume of any song and it quite disturbed me, I checked my Bluetooth earphones and phone but there is nothing wrong with it. It can display in the background and it has no ads. It would be the perfect music software for listening if you fix the music volume. thank you.more -
Mar 30, 2021 Its okay but there are too many damn ads. You come in, go to your playlist, listen to one song, ONE SINGULAR SONG, and boom, an ad. Its just ridiculous. And yes, I get you pay creators during those ads but holy sh•t. I wouldn't reccomend if you want ad-free music. And if you are going to bombard us with ads every 2 songs then at least don't put the same annoying ones. Fix this ad problem and I'll consider a higher rating but for now, 3 stars and a critical review is what you get from me.more
-
Mar 19, 2021 Favorite music streaming app but some things are buggine me. When a track ends it doesn't play the next song if my phone is closed, if it's open it plays but stops after about 15 minutes. If I'm listening to a mix it stops playing after about 20 minutes. Not sure what happened to the app, has worked fine for the last 4-5 years. If they fix this issue I'll change my rating but right now it's a terrible app for streaming.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 -
TOO MANY ADS
Feb 11, 2020 I don’t really write reviews for apps ever. I used to love this app and still use it occasionally but these ads are getting way too out of hand. I understand that the app has to make money but it seems like they are intentionally throwing ads almost every other song just to get you to buy SoundCloud plus or whatever the paid version is called. And it’s not like they are short ads either. It’s every other song a 30 second ad. I have started just closing the app out and reopening it and going back to the same song in half the time it would take for these repetitive ads to be done. I do not think that this deserves one star. I put it there in hopes that someone will see it and make a change. 2 years ago I would have given this app 5 stars but now with the amount of ads I would not truthfully give it more than 3 stars. Update: it’s getting worse. I am having ads stop music in the middle of 3 or 4 minute songs. This is not okay. Later Update: ¿ALL MY ADS ARE IN SPANISH?more -
Important issue with the app that needs fixing
May 12, 2019 I’ve been using Soundcloud for over a year now and one thing that has been happening on an off again is a bug that crashes the app when your phone is turned off and listening to music. This was patched a long time ago, but it’s back because of a recent update. Whenever you are listening to songs and the phone is turned off, around the 0:45 mark the app crashes. It’s really annoying when you’re in the shower and you can’t access your phone. And on top of that, an ad plays every 5 or so songs instead of 10 to 20 when I am looking through songs. And it’s one of those video ads that pauses when you go to the home menu or turn off your phone, making you watch 30 seconds of disturbing imagery about what happens when you vape. I’ve hung up with it before, but at this point, I just can’t. I really urge SoundCloud to fix this. The only reason I still use this app is because it hosts some of my favorite artists.more

Mar 21, 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! 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 -
Apr 5, 2021 I have installed, uninstalled, quit using, and eventually reinstalled this app again. The reason I got rid of it to start with, is because it randomly starts playing. I completely close out, and if I start my car, make a call, or sometimes do nothing, the app just starts playing the song I listened to last. I only reinstalled again so I could 'like' a friend's piece of music.more -
Mar 24, 2021 It's crashing so bad. I can't hear my Playlist. Please fix this asap. Prior to yesterday I had no issues. 3/22 started to glitch. It won't open or play any songs🤮😭 this Playlist is my favorite since Google play music deleted my Playlist I bought & paid for many albums they just wanted me to stream on YouTube music with ads & pay such bs. Why can't music be free if you guys don't pay them what they deserve! I can't even send an email because Gmail has been glitching so bad force closing on3/22more -
Mar 19, 2021 App needs a serious overhaul. When i tap on a music it doesn't play i have to force close app then open the app & play to make it play music. Why is the app size so huge. Needs a lot of processing power for idk reasons. Songs that are unavailable in my country when your competitor's don't have such restrictions. No lite app. No equalizer support.more
What’s Groovy
I love Soundcloud, have done for years without any issues. Not sure what has happened recently though as it continually seems to pause whatever I'm listening to every few mins. Occasionally you will get a bit longer. I thought it might be a wifi/signal problem but no issues there. This is essentially rendering the app frustratingly unusable. Hope it's a minor glitch following an update and can be remedied. Galaxy S10+ 5 stars await a fix.

What’s Subpar
it is very good. the ads however are a bit excessive. gives you great recommendations based on what you listen to. only thing I could complain about is sometimes the song says it is playing but there's no audio. but I exit out of the app and go back in and it does just fine. only that glitch should be fixed but nothing else to complain about. edit: the ads were almost nothing when i first downloaded the app, now they're literally every song.

Great but the comment section...
OK, so I bought this app A couple months ago to listen to unreleased music by some of my favorite artists. It was great for the first couple of weeks and still is now, but I have one issue with it and that’s the comment section. It says this app is it for 12-year-olds and up, but in the common section there is no filter in for explicit language, and recently there has been an uprising of spam messages from girls advertising for websites that are related to pornography and are not good for kids to see. I have not gone on any of these websites and I don’t plan on it either because they can get viruses, and I don’t watch that crap anyways. Definitely a great app but just be careful for links in the comment section. Be very careful, clicking on any of these links in the comments can easily put viruses on your phone even if it is an Apple device. Please be careful and I cannot stress this enough. It’s sad to see such an amazing app go to garbage from robot p⭐️sTo use this app to advertise. No other issues with the app, music is easy to move around from Playlist to Playlist. Definitely recommend but parents be careful with the links for your kids and us. -
SoundCloud Rocks!
SoundCloud is absolutely incredible! I love to post my tunes on SoundCloud for friends and fam to listen to, and to store them too! I love to find new songs or even remixes of songs I love! It’s great bc I can listen to my fave artists for free, and I don’t mind the adds even! I love the dark mode built into the app, it looks great! I would personally suggest using SoundCloud to my friends and fam and others for music streaming for free or with Go or Go+. I only would like to say, it is disappointing when I post a song and am sure it is mine only, but the system says I’m copyrighting another song. I can’t pay to copyright my music, let alone prove it’s mine, and even if I could, I wouldn’t pay to copyright my tunes bc I’m NOT POPULAR AT ALL! I only have 16 followers, most of which r prob scam bc they all look alike and say about the same thing, “get known now for free” or “share your music easily and quickly by tapping this link!” or something of the sort, which is lame bc they r FAULSE! Complete fakes! I also wanted to let you know, I can’t view my all played history anymore in the app! It’s sad, the button is visible, “See more listening history” but whenever I click it, it won’t let me view my history, but I want to see all my history! If u could fix this annoying glitch that would be awesome! I love looking through my history and miss it! Thank you for a wonderful service! -

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! -

When it's playing music, the rest of my phone will glitch out - freezing, unable to use the pull down Android menu, unable to pause/play/skip the song unless I'm actually in the app. I don't know why it's happening but it has me seriously considering deleting the app, at least for a while!

Newest updated version
I love this application. It provides you the liberty and constructive creativity to manage your profile to your likeness. Absolutely love the interactive connections between listeners, promoters, song writers, managers, producers, vocalists, etc. very profitable where downloading and uploading tracks from past and present eras all on one platform. User friendly. And most of all to be a user and have the freedom to be creative in your own way without judgement and persecution is what artistry is about. However upon the new upgrade I’m not sure if it’s a glitch or bug, but while editing my playlist it states that editing has failed and a notification pops up advising me to check my internet. I have two devices that use its platform. One for home and the other for travel. I’m not sure if other users or subscribers have came across this issue, and if not maybe it’s just other entities performing cybercrime activities on my devices. More evidence on my behalf anyways. -
I've been using SoundCloud for 2 years but there has been an issue that I've noticed. On my old phone, i used SoundCloud alot. And i could overlap hear it on different apps that didn't have music. But it seems to not let me hear the music on other apps. This is really, really triggering for me because I can't hear my music for a certain time . I got a new phone which is my current, and SoundCloud still does the same thing. Overall, SoundCloud is the best 😁👍

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. -
Really glitchy right now. Going between songs with a swipe is delayed for a few seconds or more. Hitting play or skip also has a strange delay. If I hit play three times when it's glitching, it will wait about 3 or 4 second, and then execute all three presses. Last thing, if I listen to songs with my screen off, and I re-open the running app, the screen shows the song I listened to last time I was in the app instead of the newest song even if 45 minutes later. It snaps back eventually.

Sound Cloud is the only option for my personal mobile media player! hands down the only app worth my time and energy. Although, just over the past two days my app has been experiencing random episodes where it chooses to shut down with no warning what so ever. Slightly annoying. But I just applied to update so I pray that will resolve the issue W

Almost every song is here and you can play all the music you like for ABSOLUTELY free!!!! The only deal is not being able to play liked songs however you want to hear them but other than that I got no complaints 😍😍😍😍😍

Great app for finding new music or even getting yourself heard, Whether you're gonna post or just listen to music, trust me you will enjoy this app. Easy to use App! Never had any trouble with them and believe me that's a 1st for any app out there!

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! -
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 -
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.

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. -
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😭 -
Great
I been on SoundCloud for at least 5 and a half years and it’s awesome. There was at times bugs where I request songs to be in a playlist but rarely it crashes while doing so. Another thing is that there is a gimmick where there is songs that have like a “star” symbol or a premium song where you have to pay to listen for monthly cost. But not only you can listen to these premium songs, you can put download playlist for out of service ordeals. I would say the major downfall for this streaming service app is that I have to type the right perfect word for a song title, artist, or even a album in the search bar. If I misspelled a word, it would give me a totally different result of music or even no result at all. Therefore, I have to make sure to make more of a tension to spell the word of the song and such throughly. But other than that, I’ve been using the app at first free but I decided to pay monthly because I’ve been traveling more often now so it makes since of downloading songs. I recommend using this app. I’ve been previously using grooveshark until they shut down in 2015 then I switched over to SoundCloud. -
The only thing lacking from Go+ is that if you search a song and then instantly want to listen to similar music, you have you like a song, then search it and play from your searchbar. And it costs a bit more than Spotify Premium. I still use it for the massive amount of music on offer though

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. -
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.

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. -
very good app and can be used without internet, my only complaint is that there are way too many adds at times. whenever I try pause a song it thinks I scrolled to another song giving me an add or it gives me an add in the middle of a song. otherwise it's a very good app if you want to listen to some songs without internet.
-
I've used this app for years, and it's been great until recently. When it's playing music, the rest of my phone will glitch out - freezing, unable to use the pull down Android menu, unable to pause/play/skip the song unless I'm actually in the app. I don't know why it's happening but it has me seriously considering deleting the app, at least for a while! Terribly sad
-
I actually liked this app not until some flaws appeared. It often changes the volume of any song and it quite disturbed me, I checked my Bluetooth earphones and phone but there is nothing wrong with it. It can display in the background and it has no ads. It would be the perfect music software for listening if you fix the music volume. thank you.
-
Its okay but there are too many damn ads. You come in, go to your playlist, listen to one song, ONE SINGULAR SONG, and boom, an ad. Its just ridiculous. And yes, I get you pay creators during those ads but holy sh•t. I wouldn't reccomend if you want ad-free music. And if you are going to bombard us with ads every 2 songs then at least don't put the same annoying ones. Fix this ad problem and I'll consider a higher rating but for now, 3 stars and a critical review is what you get from me.
-
I enjoy using this app for listening to music and posting my own. However, within the past week or two I can no longer post streams to my Instagram story. There seems to be a glitch where it just opens the story camera and then never shares the audio/artwork. I also use Soundcloud to promote my podcast on Instagram, so this is frustrating that I can no longer share my page and episodes. Overall, good for streaming music, a step backwards (recently) for sharing purposes.
-
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. -
good for listening has most music. my main thing is that when I go to click on the song I wanna listen too I click it and I have a playlist so its supposed to play in that order but I'll listen to a song at the bottom of my list and then click the beginning of my playlist and after that song is over it will just start playing the last song in my playlist for no reason. so it just keeps playing the last song I listened to and it wont stop please fix this it's very annoying and I'm not enjoying it

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.

Favorite music streaming app but some things are buggine me. When a track ends it doesn't play the next song if my phone is closed, if it's open it plays but stops after about 15 minutes. If I'm listening to a mix it stops playing after about 20 minutes. Not sure what happened to the app, has worked fine for the last 4-5 years. If they fix this issue I'll change my rating but right now it's a terrible app for streaming.
-
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! 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. -
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 have installed, uninstalled, quit using, and eventually reinstalled this app again. The reason I got rid of it to start with, is because it randomly starts playing. I completely close out, and if I start my car, make a call, or sometimes do nothing, the app just starts playing the song I listened to last. I only reinstalled again so I could 'like' a friend's piece of music.
-
It's crashing so bad. I can't hear my Playlist. Please fix this asap. Prior to yesterday I had no issues. 3/22 started to glitch. It won't open or play any songs🤮😭 this Playlist is my favorite since Google play music deleted my Playlist I bought & paid for many albums they just wanted me to stream on YouTube music with ads & pay such bs. Why can't music be free if you guys don't pay them what they deserve! I can't even send an email because Gmail has been glitching so bad force closing on3/22

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! -
App needs a serious overhaul. When i tap on a music it doesn't play i have to force close app then open the app & play to make it play music. Why is the app size so huge. Needs a lot of processing power for idk reasons. Songs that are unavailable in my country when your competitor's don't have such restrictions. No lite app. No equalizer support.

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? -
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.

Ads.
So i started on this app roughly 7 years ago. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS APP BACK THEN. Not anymore. Now after almost EVERY SONG OR 2 i get anywhere from 15-60 seconds of unskipable ads. Its annoying and I’ve had enough and no im not gonna buy your membership because ITS NOT WORTH IT. There isnt enough songs that id actually want to switch from apple music to soundcloud and apple music is cheaper. I ONLY come to soundcloud for remixes or to hear my friends rap (they stink). But basically this app used to have a reasonable amount of ads for the music/services they provided but now its just unbearable. Im gonna get me and my friends to stop using it, and then my friends friends and then the friends of my friends’s friends until this is fixed or addressed or something. I get you need ads to make money but now yall have become MONEY HUNGRY and the ads just ruin every workout/hangout/parties because OF ALL THE F***ing ADDS. -
Disappointed, it’s all about $$$ now
Was loyal since 2010, it was a great app, until you made some tracks $$$, sorry, but I’m not paying that, coz I can find those tracks somewhere else to listen , and so won’t use your app anymore. And some tracks can’t play in my country which is absurd, coz I hear them on the radio and etc. Dissapointed. -
SMH
Doesn’t get rid of the songs that I dislike from my liked playlist and doesn’t play certain songs smh probably go back to Spotify or pandora. -
Good if you’re desperate.
Has many bugs, the app won’t even allow you to report a track since it’ll come up with an “error” message. One of the bugs I try to report is when I unlike a track and I only have to wait a second for it to disappear and the reappear in my likes again. It’s very annoying and makes my experience on the app frustrating that I just use Spotify premium again 🤢please do better SoundCloud. This is just one of the many problems I have with the app. -
Failed to describe changes in release notes
Untrustworthy! -
Worst app to upload Your Music

TOO MANY ADS
I don’t really write reviews for apps ever. I used to love this app and still use it occasionally but these ads are getting way too out of hand. I understand that the app has to make money but it seems like they are intentionally throwing ads almost every other song just to get you to buy SoundCloud plus or whatever the paid version is called. And it’s not like they are short ads either. It’s every other song a 30 second ad. I have started just closing the app out and reopening it and going back to the same song in half the time it would take for these repetitive ads to be done. I do not think that this deserves one star. I put it there in hopes that someone will see it and make a change. 2 years ago I would have given this app 5 stars but now with the amount of ads I would not truthfully give it more than 3 stars. Update: it’s getting worse. I am having ads stop music in the middle of 3 or 4 minute songs. This is not okay. Later Update: ¿ALL MY ADS ARE IN SPANISH? -
Important issue with the app that needs fixing
I’ve been using Soundcloud for over a year now and one thing that has been happening on an off again is a bug that crashes the app when your phone is turned off and listening to music. This was patched a long time ago, but it’s back because of a recent update. Whenever you are listening to songs and the phone is turned off, around the 0:45 mark the app crashes. It’s really annoying when you’re in the shower and you can’t access your phone. And on top of that, an ad plays every 5 or so songs instead of 10 to 20 when I am looking through songs. And it’s one of those video ads that pauses when you go to the home menu or turn off your phone, making you watch 30 seconds of disturbing imagery about what happens when you vape. I’ve hung up with it before, but at this point, I just can’t. I really urge SoundCloud to fix this. The only reason I still use this app is because it hosts some of my favorite artists. -
Dissatisfied (Highly!)
My main issue with this app is how often it crashes, especially when I attempt to search through various artist’ tracks. Consistent crashes occur on this app (my phone is brand new so I know it’s not a phone issue) and there’s barely any support for creators on this app. Creators have to download Soundcloud Pulse which is also another app that’s behind it’s times (you still can’t even check PMs that are sent to you). I shouldn’t have to go through hell and back to listen to my music, but with the way this app is set up I can certainly say that it is highly dissatisfying on nearly all fronts. Only reason why it gets 2 stars is because of the fact that it’s somewhat useful, but get this app with the times developers!!! Update: The app is still crashing every time I open up someone’s “latest tracks” section which is pitiful. However we can finally see notifications from the parent app instead of having to go to Soundcloud Pulse which is nice. -
New update
I don’t normally write reviews, in fact the App Store didn’t let me write this until I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it because of a glitch, but I have to emphasize the importance of this. In the patch notes, it details performance enhancements and bug fixes. However, this new version severely increases the startup time. I now have to wait a solid minute on a loading screen before I can do anything whereas before it took half a second. I don’t know what causes this, and the app still functions otherwise normally. However, this new loading screen before the app boots up takes an unacceptably long time compared to what the load times previously were, and is especially awful considering that barely anything was changed within the app, yet the load time is multiplied by probably more than 20 times what it took prior to this update. If you haven’t updated yet, PLEASE WAIT FOR THEM TO FIX THIS, because it is severely hurting the functionality of this app. -
SoundCloud is being slow/Loading Error...Tap to try again
I just want to say that I love this app so much, I use SoundCloud like 24/7! It is my favorite because not only do I love listening to the music I like, but I also happen to upload my own songs on there as well. My only issue with this is app is that it’s been lately being very slow on my phone. Whenever I go on SoundCloud nowadays it’s acts like one of those old computer machines that people would try to use back in the day, or it is also kind of like using an old phone because it runs very very slow on my phone. Also, I have been experiencing lots of loading errors on each song whenever I want to shuffle music on SoundCloud on my phone. Some work and then some just don’t want to work, and it is very strange because it hasn’t done this to me before. If there is any way that this issue can be fixed, please fix it so that I won’t have this problem at all anymore. Thank you so much! -
ads after almost EVERY song
it’s ridiculous, i thought after i got a new phone this would go away, and it did - for a little bit. now, every time i open the app, i get an ad. if i listen to ONE song, i get an ad. if i don’t even listen to anything i get ads which sometimes stop playing when you leave the app, so you can’t play them in the background. i swear it didn’t used to be like this, i’ve tried turning on and off my wi-fi, clearing the app cache, deleting and redownloading the app, and nothing. for the record, i’m not opposed to the idea of sc having ads in general, it’s just that they’re so frequent i use the app less and less. i’m stuck to it because ive been using it for so long(large library) but that’s the only real reason. also, there are some glitches, like text not showing in the search bar in night mode, and liked songs/playlists not showing up when you search for them. my main gripe is with the ads, months later as i update this, i’m getting one after EVERY song. sc crashed and as soon as i opened the app it came back with an ad. i’d give 4 or 5 stars if it weren’t for this stuff and STOP with the same ads over and over it wouldn’t be as bad if you had some variety but it’s just verizon over and over again, i get it, and if anything i want to use verizon less now you really need to fix your ad program before everyone starts leaving.

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! 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. -
I have installed, uninstalled, quit using, and eventually reinstalled this app again. The reason I got rid of it to start with, is because it randomly starts playing. I completely close out, and if I start my car, make a call, or sometimes do nothing, the app just starts playing the song I listened to last. I only reinstalled again so I could 'like' a friend's piece of music.

It's crashing so bad. I can't hear my Playlist. Please fix this asap. Prior to yesterday I had no issues. 3/22 started to glitch. It won't open or play any songs🤮😭 this Playlist is my favorite since Google play music deleted my Playlist I bought & paid for many albums they just wanted me to stream on YouTube music with ads & pay such bs. Why can't music be free if you guys don't pay them what they deserve! I can't even send an email because Gmail has been glitching so bad force closing on3/22

App needs a serious overhaul. When i tap on a music it doesn't play i have to force close app then open the app & play to make it play music. Why is the app size so huge. Needs a lot of processing power for idk reasons. Songs that are unavailable in my country when your competitor's don't have such restrictions. No lite app. No equalizer support.

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? -
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. -
Person who wants another update
When a creator of a audio/song has been deleted or whatever else happened when I try to unlike the audio/song it doesn’t go away and instead like it’s self again and goes at the top of my liked tracks I have over like 1000 songs on my like tracks and it’s really hard to get rid of someone I can’t get rid of it and it just comes back again I need this fixed please ASAP because this has been happening for over like a year I thought the updates would’ve fixed it or when someone has brought it up or whatever but it has not and I would like to be fixed because it has become an issue for over a year like I have said I’ve tried reaching out to y’all through the reviews that has not happened or been fixed. I love SoundCloud very much I am practically on the app on a daily basis I really need this problem fixed because there’s over like 20 songs on my like tracks that the creator has been disabled or deleted or whatever is happened and I can’t delete them. -As a fellow Instagram editor I need to to be fixed pretty please with sugar on top ASAP -
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. -
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.
