Constantly crashes. Also my phone just died and I have to now redownload 2000 songs. Why? The app has been crashing for years and downloading never does it in the background you have to have the app open at all times. Fix it already it’s garbage that this is still happening.

Version 7.11.2
Used to love this app even through all the glitches that constantly happen over the years but im pretty fed up at this point. Im paying for soundcloud pro and this is the second time in the last few months that ive opened the app just to see that all of my likes have somehow un-downloaded and cant be listened to unless i have wifi/service. I have well over 4k songs liked and its so frustrating when i cant listen to them on a plane or when i have no service and have to let them redownload again. Considering its the only reason i really pay for the pro version im strongly considering cancelling my subscription. I used to back this app so hard when others would trash it but im pretty fed up at this point and idk yea.

Hey listen. I’m an avid SoundCloud Go+ subscriber. 100% worth it for roughly $13 a month. I completely recommend. That’s in a regular basis.
However, the last 3 months that I’ve been subscribed, it will crash after about half an hour of listening. Downloaded or not, it’s like it just dies after some time and you are forced to restart the app.
SoundCloud, you guys are amazing and I’d recommend you to anyone. However, I am listening in an IPhone 13 and have 4 bars of 5G+ reception. It’s not on my end. I ask that you compensate the subscribers that haven’t received adequate service for the last roughly last 3 months, but on a regular basis and with the faults you are amazing and I’d recommend you to not just music lovers, but also producers trying to get their name out there.
Again to anyone reading, I 100% recommend this app, but please be patient as they fix their system because for the last 3 months it has been iffy on whether it’s worth almost $15 a month, but when it’s working normal I’d 10000% recommend it to anyone that either loves listening to music or makes music themselves.
Thank you and have a great day everyone!

Recently I haven’t been able to listen to songs because it says “song unavailable” and its not just one song its like 10 songs in each of my playlists and also when i try to add a song to my playlist it doesn’t show up the first time i have to keep adding it to my playlist multiple times until it shows but my main issue is not being able to not listen to certain songs so please fix that

App has definitely turned out for the better, less ads since last update and its not limited as spotify. There are songs here that aren't on spotify or other music platforms because of its unreleased status and that's the great part of soundcloud in my opinion.
I like it but I think there is a thing you should add

Worst App On My Phone
–
treyj20 –
2023-08-30
Version 7.11.1
This is by far the worst app I have on my phone. I’ve used SoundCloud now for over 6 years (mostly the website) and refuse to pay for this app(which I should as much as I have to use it) because of how pathetically terrible it is designed. Problem is, now that they’ve figured out the money they can make off adds the free version is beyond worthless. There’s literally an add you can’t skip about every other song. If you don’t use this, don’t start. Great platform and great idea just no brains behind how to make it useful. Sadly SoundCloud has massively failed at something that most entities seem to have an easy time with, creating an effective app. It’s 2019, SoundCloud, figure this out. Save yourself. Don’t get this.
Too many ads

Version 7.11.0
I like the app but the pop ups asking to subscribe are insufferable. Literally every other tap on something brings up a pop up. If I said no once that should be enough to not bring the pop up again for a while. It’s actively getting in the way of using the app.
I WILL GIVE IT 5 STARS IF YOU ADD A REPEAT FEATURE TO XBOX

Everyone wants a piece of the action by taking a service that was once free and charging you for it. No one should be forced to pay for something that was once free. If you do charge a fee then you should pay the artists for their original works.
I’m only giving 5 star so devs can see this

I was listening to music then I see lots of girls, naked, and I accidentally clicked on a link and I am traumatized. This app needs to I just don’t like people, commenting and saying like here’s my OF are saying click this link for some thing with something and I bet a lot of people would say the same I want to see girls, naked or men I’m deleting this app and I don’t want to see that again this app says for 12 or older and I don’t think 12 year olds should be seeing girls OF or men’s OF so I don’t think this app is for 12 year olds. I think this is 16 or older may be 18 or older
I like playing the music in the background but…

2023-08-27
Version 7.10.2
Let me be very clear….SoundCloud is the only music platform I use and that is quite unlikely to change.
I am certain that there is a solution to the problem that I am facing, and will likely update this review with the five stars that I believe SoundCloud deserves regardless of how things work out for me.
I was locked out of my phone for a day as a result of pressing the guided access and then I was unable to input anything on the touch screen other than perhaps forcing an emergency call.
I was able to access my SoundCloud music if it connected to my Bluetooth earbuds or my truck stereo but that was it and only using the limited control of the Bluetooth device.
I took it to the store and they were able to turn it on and back on.
Everything was back to normal except my SoundCloud app. I spent half a day trying to get my account back and then I tried to simply pay for what appeared to be a new subscription through the SoundCloud website and app. The App Store was happy to take my money for a new SoundCloud subscription but it still doesn’t allow me to access my real Go+ account or the new Go+ account I paid for.
It’s the weekend so I can’t expect a response to my ticket until Monday at the earliest but I’m a bit upset that in spite of trying to pay for the same thing twice, I’m stuck with commercials and none of the music I saved or playlists. It’s honestly the main thing I even use my phone for now so it is not cool to me
What gives?

my only complaint is that in the app on mobile/IOS it is impossible to put a playlist on repeat, you can only put an individual song on repeat which is very frustrating. this isn't the case in the app downloaded on mac, it's just on mobile. idk why this is but please fix it it's so annoying and seems like it's such a simple thing

i fw soundcloud. ive been using it since 6th grade and really enjoy it. its better than spotify, pandora, apple music, audiomack, etc. especially bc you can upload ur own music and post anything else. 2 complaints. first is abt the whole copyright thing. i get that yall take copyright serious, but bruh… i can’t listen to allot of tracks bc of copyright. but saying get rid of it but let up a lil. and two: the copyright is inconsistent. i cant post an unreleased / copyrighted song, even if i put a minute long silence in front, but others can simply speed up the song by 1% and theyre good. and when i do it gets taken down.

I love SoundCloud!!! It is my favorite app to play music. It does need an improvement though. I have noticed that you can repeat a song, but you cannot repeat a playlist. Also, this feature should be available in the mobile app when added. I believe this is so necessary in case all you want to hear is that playlist over and over again. Please add this to SoundCloud. Like the aliens in Toy Story, I would be “eternally grateful”!!!!!!! Thank you so much for everything in SoundCloud. It is truly an amazing app.

Version 7.10.2
Edit: As of this most recent update, I’ve been logged out of my account and am unable to log back in due to “something unexpected” happening. Even on strong wifi connection, I’m unable to bypass the error. Even SoundCloud’s website is unresponsive and I can’t even hit the sign in button or proceed through the sign in page. Not sure what the issue is, but I’m unable to use the app and service in general at all in its current state, which is a real shame, because all my playlists are on there. I hope this gets fixed soon, because I love this app. Assuming the above is a non issue for other users however, my normal review proceeds below: Overall this app is great for some free listening with limited ads. Some things I’d love to see implemented at some point: Edit Playlist names: as one adds to their playlist, sometimes the creator may want to edit its name to be more accurate to the music inside in some way. Being able to edit playlist names in the app would be great. Reorder Playlists: Some people may want to organize their playlists alphabetically or thematically as opposed to the order by creation SoundCloud defaults to in the app. Being able to modify your playlists in this way would be a nice change. These QoL changes are indeed small, but would go a long way in making the app feel a bit more user friendly.

Hi I meant to rate this five stars but can’t click on them so… yeah, but I also want to address the issue of when you are on the wallpaper screen when you first open the phone (for me it’s an iPhone) without putting in the password or anything, and click the little picture for the song in the song bar thingy (you know what I mean) the picture gets bigger and looks really cool and stuff, except when I do it with the SoundCloud app or website, if I do it with them then they get all pixely and stuff and it’s not like a dealbreaker for me but it would just be nice to have this fixed. Also this works fine for Apple Music and I’m on iOS 16 rn, so idk if it’s just my reception or smthn but yeah, like I said this isn’t a dealbreaker or anything, more like an aesthetic issue. Anyways thanks for reading this and hopefully helping me.

Version 7.9.0
This has been an issue for the past month and a half now
I’ve got ScGO, so my likes and any playlists I download will show up, but just at random any UI that refreshes with internet will just be stuck in a buffering animation and I can’t search up any music, nor will my likes save or any songs to any playlists I have; this bug occurs essentially everytime I open the app, but maybe 3/10 of the time it will open the app and all the features will work temporarily and then almost immediately cut out again unless I test my luck at restarting the app.
I’ve already made like 2 different complaints about this in the feedback section on the Sc website I was routed to, but after like 2 different updates the bug is still persisting, I’ve already tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but the bug is still here and it’s really annoying when I can’t open up any other playlists aside from my likes and the ones I try to download, and I won’t receive any emails back aside from the ones telling me I won’t receive any emails back, so I’m not sure if any feedback I write about is even being viewed, nor can I even mark the feedback as a bug on the site (because I’m not given the option to do so) so I have less of a reason to be confident that anyone seen the complaints to begin with🤷🏽♂️
Some of us do not want to upgrade.

Look, this is a great app. You can listen to other people’s music and post your own so others can hear it. Cool concept, one I definitely have taken advantage of these past few days.
However, this feature has a catch: you can only post so much for free until the app basically forces you to upgrade to pro, which you have to pay $199 a month for?!? EVEN if you have an account?? That’s ridiculous!! I suggest as a compromise that every time you upload past the limit, you have to watch an ad. It’s not the best compromise, sure, but ads make money. And if you want to make money, I suggest doing that instead. Maybe while the track is getting ready, an ad will play. It may be annoying for some, but it’s better than paying 199$ a month for an app that I just want to use to get my Spyro fan tracks out there, as well as my originals. So, please take that into consideration? I think it’d be a great compromise that doesn’t empty your wallet.
Also, for those who do want to upgrade, you can give them that option. Have us either choose the ads option or the pro option. It’s that simple! You make money either way, it’s a win-win!!
I hope this review finds a SoundCloud employee who will possibly take my idea into consideration. I’m loving this app so far! It’s been really helpful!
Thanks and have a great day!

Version 7.8.0
First of all they have no phone number for the entire company no contact for support, billing, etc. which is a huge red flag. The only way of contacting them is by submitting a ticket which they will take their time getting to if they even decide to respond. And if you try to cancel your subscription the day it is set to renew they will renew your subscription regardless of you choosing to cancel it and they will keep your money for an entire extra month that you cancelled and did not want. They rely on shady business practices like this because they are slimy company that will do whatever they can to steal every bit of money they can because they know their service is absolutely awful for the price and the second someone figures out that they’re being over charged for a sub par service at best and they cancel their subscription then SoundCloud will do whatever they can to keep every single dime they did not earn by keeping your subscription going even after you cancel because they want your money and will do any shady business practice to get it. Stay away and do not give them your credit card info.

This is great! I recently have had a similar experience with dodge county wisconsin with the social workers for cps. I feel something needs to be done with them. They would much rather take kids (2 baby sisters) and throw them into foster care rather than come home with what they know and what they love but because we are not family we have been pushed aside even though my family and I have been turned away even though we have taken care of the baby’s from age 3 weeks old now 1 1/2 yrs. I’ve now tried to bring to court and get a judge hope and pray that he will see and let the kids come with us. (Court is in 3 weeks) the cps people have even asked the foster trainer to not call me back deliberately. There very against us and unsure why but it’s not fair for the children. They deserve loving household whom has changed our entire household to fit them and accommodate them. I’m disgusted by dodge county wisconsin child services.

Version 6.6.0
Aloha, Okay, I’m officially intrigued. You are a whole company… I’ve been I college for 5 years for computer science/ software engineering. I had souncloud since I was in 8th grade, the only music app I’d use. 😂 A week ago I duplicated your “app” and made it exactly the same as yours when not published; though don’t get fooled by that sentence; I know my rights, fk add on to what I have just said. I have 4 years of study before college with experience. Why am I a Karen about this little thing? I did it ONLY BECAUSE, the bugs In your system AFTER THE RECENT UPDATE; Such as, searching for a song and my screen crashes. Trying to lick a song my screen freezes and I cannot click anything, trying to scroll through my playlist and it freezes; Not sufficient. SOUNDCLOUD was doing amazing. Comparing yourself to other platforms of music will not make you more successful. I think this is great feedback, for you guys to know, & also fix the bugs if Instagram can do it in a day you can too, it doesn’t take “much” money all the time it takes your brains in the company. Mahalo nui loa.

Version 5.175.0
I’ve been a SoundCloud user/artist since 2010 I’ve never once had a problem with this app until the recent update it’s so annoying. Nothing loads none of my tracks I liked load none of my insights load nor does the home screen load for weekly updated or new songs artist dropped. I already uninstalled this app 4 times hoping it was just an error but it’s not, I really hope the users/creators of SoundCloud didn’t delete my music or my liked tracks if they did then I’ll rate this app lower and delete it. Whoever’s genius idea it was to update SoundCloud for IOS like this needs to seek help they also did a horrible job. Why is it that all these people who had SoundCloud for years never had a problem, until this current update all these reviews from Users/artist that are leaving on this update is just showing the person who updated SoundCloud like this really did do a horrible job.
Disappointed but holds a place in my heart

Version 5.165.0
I love SoundCloud coz I’ve been using it literally since elementary school, but it’s gone down hill. First, when you shuffle your playlist, it’s like the app has pre made shuffle lists from your playlist so it plays the same songs in the same order. I noticed this way too much so I tested this by writing down the sounds that would play, then a few days later I’d shuffle my list and it matched. That’s really dumb and annoying and I don’t understand why that’s a feature, if my playlist being shuffled like that is simply by chance then that’s crazy, but if it’s the app then why? Second, ads: before I didn’t mind the ads, but now when using the mobile app if an ad plays while you’re on the app, you’re forced to watch/skip the ad because it won’t play off the app in the background. That was not a thing a few years ago, why SoundCloud ): y’all are the OG and the prime spot for finding new artists and got exclusively unique songs from artists so I’ll always love the app but these reasons have caused me to switch to Apple Music <\3
Casting Music Button is Very Broken

2021-11-16
Much of my SoundCloud music listening is done through casting music to my multiple chrome cast supported speakers throughout my home the button in the upper right hand corner used to cast music is so difficult to press! I tap on it about 15 times before it recognizes that I’m trying to tap on it, instead of having it think I’m pressing around it (which causes my music to pause and play over and over again)
I’m also unable to adjust the volume on my speakers when connected through chrome cast by using the ‘volume up’ and ‘volume down’ buttons located on the side of my phone. I instead have to use the remote for each of my speakers to do so. I’ve used other music applications that allow me to cast music to my chrome cast supported speakers, that allow me to use my phone to adjust the volume on the speakers using the side buttons on my phone.
The last issue is that the music player for SoundCloud doesn’t appear on my phone when it’s locked. I’m not sure why this is?
Used to be great listening on my phone but now...

November 2021 update: App is working much smoother! currently 4.8 stars.
Pros: -helps me find a great songs -my oldest and trusty music app Cons: -on my phone (which I use 99.9%time now)not good anymore... sometimes frequent 1min ads like after 4 songs -new privacy policy looks like a privacy concern. -liked playlist (and longer lists) has lag problem where it takes 5min to scroll down. (iPhone) -music just stops when service stops (used to hold a few songs in RAM when you go intermittently offline. That was good, especially driving mountain roads) -app checks my location every minute. Draining my battery Interestingly It’s been great until the major update a few years ago and then continuously progressively making app worse/lagging with each update. Like why. Currently at 2 stars, I’ll update review later
I did not give permission to renew this APP

I got a free trial. When that free trial was up, or even before it was up I removed it!! So why a month or 2 later when I buy an Apple pay card are you thieves going to charge my Apple Pay card? I don’t even have this app downloaded to my phone. I already reported it & I want my money back. This app was junk anyway. No offense but it even gives directions to go by to renew it. I never did. App is not even on my phone & they took it upon themselves to take $5-6 off of my Apple pay card. Now I have to wait 48 hours to see if they will refund my moneys? I’m poor so every dollar counts. I notice I’d 1$ is missing. I reported it & if I do not get a refund I will be contacting an attorney. Yes! Over 5.99! Why? Because I got that card to use TJ buy more I cloud, & not to pay for an app I am not even using nor is is downloaded to my phone anymore. Wanting to all, do not download this app with the free trial. Because even if you cancel it & remove from your phone as soon as you get money on any card you are using, they will take money out!!!! I want a refund & I want it ASAP! I can’t even enjoy my phone because I can’t even put cash more I cloud because of this!! Can’t even do the update on my phone I need to do because I there’s no space or GB’s to do it! Could do it if I could pay for more iCloud
Unfortunately, just not worth it anymore.

A couple years ago I would’ve given 10/5 stars if I could. But nowadays, there’s so many advertisements that it makes listening not even worth it. I completely understand the reason for advertisements & for a long time, I could put up with them. However, I just used SoundCloud for the first time in maybe a year. THERE IS 2 ADS BETWEEN EACH TRACK.
Back when I used to use SoundCloud for all my music, I’d have to put up with an occasional ad or two every 4-6 songs. But now it’s simply unbearable. I’m not exaggerating when I say I just logged onto SoundCloud & the first 4 tracks I played, I got 2 ads in between each. It was frustrating after the 2. Annoying after the 3rd. Infuriating after the 4th & I didn’t stick around for the 5th.
I’ve been using audiomack as of late. I’d recommend that to anyone who doesn’t have music specifically on SoundCloud. I know that’s the reason I used SoundCloud so much. A lot of the underground artists would start on SoundCloud and their music would then find its way to other platforms. But I just can’t do the ads anymore.
If you suggest paying for SoundCloud, why would I? The search engine all the way to the user experience is just terrible. Anyway, just my opinion. Happy listening, all!
Soundcloud is okay... but could use work in certain areas!

soundcloud is great i’ve always loved it but there’s so many songs that i can’t listen to because i don’t pay money every month??? there’s other apps i could download for music where i can listen to any song i want to, all of my friends and everyone i’ve talked to about it say that they don’t use soundcloud for this reason. my loyalty for soundcloud lies deep but i’m getting really annoyed every time i fall in love with a song and can’t put it on my playlist. i know for a fact that if this changed, so many more people would use soundcloud. or at least drop the monthly price down, i bet a large percentage of people that use soundcloud are 14-25 years old... people at this age generally don’t make as much money as the average person yet- due to being in high school and only having a part time job, or in college with a part time job trying to pay off student loans. not only would it make people happy, but it might be good for soundcloud’s benefits too!!!
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.
Pls change this one thing

I always used SoundCloud and it’s been what I use to listen to music since 8th grade and now I’m a year out of school. It’s always been a really cool platform and i don’t plan on stop using it. But there’s one thing that bothers me. VIDEO ADS. If an ad comes on while your on the app maybe u were jus on there to pick a different song and a video ad comes on, if u get out of the app the ad stops and u can’t play it to get to your music the only way u can listen to it and get to your song is by staying in the app as the whole ad plays. PLEASEE change this. It gets really annoying when I’m doin something while listening to music and then when I want to change a song get an ad then I gotta sit there and actually watch the ad to get to my song. I don’t mind just listening to it in the background of what I’m doin but actually having to sit Thru it is a bruh moment. Please make these ads able to play in the background of whatever your doing

it deserves 5 stars but i can’t help but remember the days with no ads and no premium service, everything jus listening, it would be really nice if you cut one of these things or at least chill out on the ads. Like maybe not right after the first song i play EVERY TIME!! it highly discourages me from using and i switch to apple music very quickly afterwards. By including a paid subscription and ads you’ve basically given apple the advantage as it’s pre downloaded on my phone and actually has all fully mastered music. I really want to see this app thrive but i think the money your making w ads and subscription is holding that back. 100% understand that you’ve probably ran those numbers thousands of times, but i truly think your fan base would explode to even greater numbers if you were to cut at least some ads, there’s just too much in the way of freely scrolling. However I have hope and rooting for you !!
Awesome app, been using it for years! But now there’s this one thing...

Okay, so I’ve been using this amazing app for a few years now and it’s been absolutely great, but since the most recent updates, it’s been having more adds and now when I’m trying to listen to my music outside the app, it’ll keep going for a while, and then out of nowhere, stop when I haven’t done anything. I’ve checked and is not my headphones, and I bet it’ll get fixed soon, aside from this temporary thing, this is a wonderful app that has the songs in a reachable, free platform when you can’t find the song you’re looking for anywhere else. It’s also an awesome place to find your type of music because it has such a wide variety of content! Amazing over all 🥰 have loved it for years 🖤❤️🖤❤️

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.
Amazing! But just one problem..

SoundCloud is an amazing app to use! I don’t really mind the Ads because I don’t really have any money to upgrade so I just stay with the regular SoundCloud instead of SoundCloud go. I’ve used this app for about 5 years now but since this year, I’ve started to notice a problem whenever I search for any music. Every time I search for music, I start to listen to it without liking it (because sometimes I forget to do that). But every time the song ends, or I try to look for a different version of the song, it always automatically skips to a different type of song that’s not under the title I searched for. This has been a constant issue for a few months so I decided to delete the app and try again, then it started to work like usual. But now, just a few seconds ago, the same problem popped up again. I don’t know if it’s a glitch in the system or just something that was included in the new update. But whatever it is, I’m not so happy with it. Other than that, that’s all I really have to say for the app whatsoever.
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.
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!
GO+ problem

2020-05-03
So I was loving the app until I woke up this afternoon and came to see more than half my songs were suddenly GO+ when before they were free. I’m seriously freaking out because all of my favorite songs are now previews and I have no idea what to do. I tried to see if anyone else was having problems in the comment sections and it seems like no one else is having this same problem. I seriously do not want to switch over to another music app just because SoundCloud decided to make half the songs GO+. And I’m not just talking about 1 artist suddenly switching from free to GO+ I’m saying multiple artists songs I have saved are GO+ now so it’s not an singular artist I’m talking about. Unless these artist just happened to talk to each other and decided “Hey why don’t we make our songs GO+ for no reason at all!”. Now that’s me being sarcastic, but I’m seriously freaking out because I can’t live through quarantine without my music. Please SoundCloud do something about this and don’t just scroll by ignoring the people’s problems.
Fix the app

The following is complaints about the mobile Soundcloud:
Soundcloud is a good music app, not to lie. The ads are horrifyingly long, especially when you get a 30 second ad that you cannot skip. I can last a 15 second ad, but the ads are not skippable. Also another thing is if your new and you try to do the verification thing on mobile, it is possible the email won’t send at all. I’ve seen this on many other phones. Also, editing playlists most rearranging the songs don’t save until you repeatedly do it. Editing the name of the playlist I haven’t found anyway yet since. Another reason, are the visual bugs. Sometimes when loading in a song after an ad or so, the ad information shows up, but the song still plays. You can’t see the song until you close out of the ad and/or song. Also, a suggestion I’d like to make is you can verify your email whenever you want to, not while you’re editing your profile. Not trying to hate the app, it is pretty good, the main problems are the playlists bugs, and ads.

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.

We’ve been looking for a way to tap into the everyday collective of true lyrical rappers and wannabes alike to find out what’s really good and trending up to be hopefully a resurgence of Consciousness in Rap that's now being wrapped around Spiritual & Mental Enlightenment.
To our dismay to many of or New Rappers have yet to educate themselves on the importance of positive WORDS pumped out to their newly captive audience. We must start making committed efforts to move pass decadence.
Existing and espiring Rappers alike have to Stop Playing into the Hands of Dirty Heartless Music Industry Excutives that have Killed the Rap Game by promoting Negetive Content and giving a stamp of approval for Self Destruction of its listeners whiles knowing its marketing is targeted especially to those living in a poverty state of mind.
It's our hope with this new and Exciting Platform called SoundCloud and other similar platforms will be a Gateway for those that process the courage and Lyrical Talent to Speak Life & Light into the Game without Demeaning words like N:gg@s & B:thęs as Verse Starters & Lyrical Fillers and will soon come out of the Darkness Blazing into the Light 🔥 and Spark ⚡️a Revolution of Uplifting Selfless Flows that will Once again give Rap a New Face of Unstoppable passion that will Change the World 🌍 moving it back into its Devine Order!

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😭
Advertisement Interuptuons

I don’t have a problem with ads, the app has to make money somehow but it would be nice to be able to do more while ads are playing; such as: being able to look at other songs/ pick the next song while ads are playing. Sometimes it will auto play to a song I didn’t want to listen to in the first place so when I skip it after the ad is done I’m now one song closer to the next ad... Another thing I’ve noticed is if your phone is in sleep mode during an ad it will continue playing with no video but if your browsing while an ad comes on you are forced to play the video with it and exiting the app or enabling sleep mode will pause the ad forcing you to play the video to continue. This feature can be very frustrating if your trying to play music at work or are multi tasking and also eats up unnecessary battery life. All that said I love SoundCloud and all it’s other features just wanted to give some honest feedback for future improvements/updates :)

I love soundcloud, and use it every day. I fall asleep to a playlist I've made, and use it during the day. However, there are a few things that need to be improved. First off, there is no sleep timer. This would be really helpful for me and others. Secondly, I listen to a lot of older music, for example, The Beatles. However, there are very few Beatles songs on soundcloud. I think this should be changed. It's not just The Beatles either. There are other artists as well, but that's what came off the top of my head. Last but not least, there are some songs that you can only listen to live versions of. For example, "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. I find the cheering before and after these songs that are or used to be pretty popular annoying and I'm probably not the only one. Other than these things and loading times every once in a while (which I understand), this app is amazing and I love it so much. Please improve these issues, thank you so much! 😊🤞🏻
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.
Mobile App Bugs

Baconherobt –
2019-06-20
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.

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.
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.
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.

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!
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?
I Love SoundCloud, but I had its down sides

This app has always been my preferred method to post my music to. I’ve been a creator nearly 3 years and it’s just a useful tool to spread your word. Anyways, I have friends who are telling me they can’t repost my content, basically they attempt to repost but it doesn’t show up on there profile, I don’t receive a notification either, we decided to test it out, and yeah there’s certain artist that they tell the user they reposted the track and it never did, never shows up, yet when they re post bigger artists it shows up immediately, so what I feel SoundCloud is doing is restricting smaller artist from “to much recognition”
Why do you allow bigger artists content to be displayed as repost but not artist at the bottom? If I can figure this out, I will post more info, but that just seems weird. Other then that the app is amazing.
Very great but some difficulties

Hello I’ve been a SoundCloud user since 2012 but didn’t really get into it until 2013. I would like to say SoundCloud is fantastic. However, I have problems listening to music without it cutting off every 30 seconds. Then once I press play, the same thing keeps happening. Also, as someone that makes music, I hate that there’s a pay wall behind me seeing simple things as who’s listening all over the world. Why should I by SoundCloud Go just to see things like that? The least I’m buying it for is playing music offline, that’s about it. Aside from that, I feel like SoundCloud Go is just not even worth it. I liked using SoundCloud until y’all introduced SoundCloud Go. Which basically limited us from listening to big artist on there giving us 30 seconds of a song just so we can buy that pay wall to listen to a full song we can listen to on other music apps. Not to mention the spotlight on our profiles. Are you seriously going to make us pay for that? That’s like paying $5 just to pin a tweet on Twitter. All I’m saying is I love SoundCloud, but I can’t stand it when they’re trying to beat around the bush just to make us pay for something.
I use this app for almost all music but...

These advertisements are really starting to get annoying. You used to be able to scroll around SoundCloud and look for other tracks while an ad is playing but now the app forces you to look at the still frame ad while it plays and sometimes you can’t even skip it. Something that also gets on my nerves is when I get two ads in a row or after every other song. Stop forcing us to watch the ads, it feels really anti-consumer and like you don’t care about your customer. Also, its not just the ads themselves that are annoying but the lack of variety. I swear I’ve gotten the same CAPITAL ONE BANKING AD 5 TIMES IN A ROW and it really makes me never ever ever to so business with them. Same with Home Depot, in order to retain customer happiness there should be less ads and if that isn’t possible; at least make it so they aren’t as intrusive and repetitive. I love the app though and have been using it for years.
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.
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.
Love it BUT...

I love SoundCloud i tell everybody about it it has a great mix or new and old artists. From people who are already big to helping others reach that goal, that’s one of the reasons I love SoundCloud. However, I just got an iPhone and im not able to “add next” to my songs which means instead of being able to in a sense create a playlist I have to go look and wait for one song to be completely over then click my other one.. Instead of just have it play next and be ready. I have no idea why this was removed or if it’s just for iPhones or what but it’s terrible. I would love if this feature is back so i can stop having to look through my 300+ songs play the one I want next instead of just adding it to the que . Bring back the add next buttons and the button that allows me to see what’s playing next and so I’m able to switch them. Bring them back!

Okay so I’ve been using SoundCloud for quite some time now, and there’s no errors or glitches with me. I also like that I can use it across all devices, including my laptop. But when I got on my laptop to use the website, I noticed how much better it was than the app. Let me just get to it, it had some basic features that every music app should have, and the computer version has these features but not the app. Some of these features include things such as adding songs to up next or being able to start off a song first and then hit shuffle, rather than just going to the playlist and hitting shuffle. It’s very annoying when you have to constantly flip through songs just to hear a song that you like but then having to go back and shuffle again. So as a summary I would say this is four and a half stars but it doesn’t give me that choice.
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.

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.
Overall Excellent

Been using SoundCloud for a couple years, everything checks out except when I am listening to SoundCloud through my blue tooth speaker, after a song ends and it goes to the next one, it just randomly stops playing. Then after another song comes on then it will work. Nothing to major just a little annoying. I have restarted and rebooted my phone as well as my Bluetooth speaker numerous times. Hoping this can be fixed. Thanks y'all.
UPDATE : you guys deleted all of my liked tracks which was my playlist essentially. And now it fails every time I try to sign in. I’m trying to change my password but can’t even do that. Give me all my liked tracks back and the star rating will go back to 5.
Final Update: liked tracks are coming back. Not sure what happened. Thanks for the fix, if not then I’m glad the glitch fixed itself out.
Needs some additions but best way to find new music

Everyone knows all the good things of SoundCloud like growing new artists so fast and helping people find new music. I’m gonna give a few suggestions for it though. Things that I want in the app; the computer version is great, but you know we all want music on the go and most people use their phones. As a producer with my own page I would like the messages to be on the phone and comments and more interaction with my fans on my phone. Everyone knows there is bugs, but I’m sure the SoundCloud team is fixing them now. I’d also suggest maybe better pages for artists. I find it may be hard for new users to get used to it. It’s a little big maybe scale it down to fix more on screen. Anyways, great app! Suggest it if you love music :)
Update: right after writing this I discovered SoundCloud Pulse which I think is a great app. Though I’d still like to see you being able to respond to DMS, have social media links on artist pages, and have descriptions on artists pages.
Love it but latest update has issues

FIX REQUIRED: Latest update has songs making cracking/popping noise when playing music. Happens whether online streaming or playing offline saved songs. Not HW issue--only seems to happen on this app. Please troubleshoot!
Recommendation: A repeat button for mobile (single and playlist).
Otherwise, SoundCloud is awesome. This is my #1 music discovery tool. I have discovered so many new genres and artists I had never heard before using this app, and I love that the artists are free to post ANYTHING instead of only their studio-ready work. Sometimes the experimental stuff is what is most interesting. The freedom of musical constraint is what makes SoundCloud really the best streaming service to me without the overhead of video (like another streaming service I also use to discover music), and it also gives me control in what I want to hear. The recommendations have been spot-on (again, introducing me to new music I've fallen in love with), and I hope SoundCloud continues the way it's been and improves with our feedback!
