This app used to be absolutely astonishing (years ago). I didn't use it for a long time, but now it seems it can't even identify the simplest tunes. I thought it was my phone, so I waited and upgraded. Didn't use it for about a year after upgrading. Just tried again in a local bar, music and lyrics fairly clear,... all I get is couldn't identify. This used to work in even the loudest bar. Whatever you guys did over the last several years, you may have accomplished something, but not positive.

I have had this app for about 13 years. My history is part of my playlist in a sense and my playlist describes who I am. One of my favorite features is tapping one button it listens to the song say in the car, then gives you the artists name , lyrics, title of the song,and the video . It recognizes the song in seconds. It will also give the same info if you hum a song! Love Soundhound !!!

One of the best music apps around! I have been a SoundHound user for quite a few years now. It's my life in real time.....my ultimate playlist. Or it was. Until recently. My history became unplayable. I tried everything I knew to 'fix' the errors with songs connecting to and playing thru YouTube. Nothing worked. Every other feature of the app worked, no issue. I continued to use it anyway. It seems the latest update has fixed this ridiculously long run error.Fingers crossed it sticks.
