Pros and cons of SoundHound - Music Discovery app for iPhone and iPad

SoundHound - Music Discovery app good for

Using this App always reminds me of a scene from "Married with Children", when Al Bundy was in a disc shop and tried to sing the song he was searching for: "Hm, hm, Him...". With this marvellous app Al would have had better luck :) Only thing I am missing is linkage to Amazon Prime music, but still I love it. 5 Stars.

The app keeps crashing while slowly scrolling through the history of identified songs and recognition can take several attempts. Please improve the performance again. I really loved this app and hope it can catch up to the former expectations!

Honestly this is maybe the most useful AI available, good stuff Soundhound

Honestly. I love this app. Not only is it faster then the other apps my friends try and use, it has way more features, I love Sound Hound!

The latest update crashes when I try to look at my priviest searches. I had over 300+ searches saved. I liked is app over Shazam.

Excellent Excellent music finding app.. Now with SIRI .. How does it get easier?

Some bad moments

What happened? This app used to rock now Im interrupted during my search with ads

I cant find ANYTHING on this thing. All I want is to identify the effin song but I spend more time looking for the listen button. I truly hate this confusing app!

When a song plays and I follow along with the lyrics,I noticed that your little Soundhound "frame" does not keep up with the songs...

Extremely disappointed that they took out support for the  Watch which was very useful in movie theatres for example. Its one thing to not improve an app but quite another to take away feature. Such a shame.

iPhone 6S with iOS 9.3.2 It seems to work fine, but your database shouldnt cater to millennials only. Bear McCreary released the soundtrack for season two of the series Outlander in September 2015, seven months before the new season aired in April 2016. Five minutes into the ninth episode, "Je Suis Prest," a beautiful Gaelic tune began to play over a montage of the characters. I tried your app to find out what it was. Nothing. I backed my recording of the episode up and tried again. Still nothing. Even Shazam failed. Theres just no excuse for this. Not everyone who uses this app on their iPhone is under 30 and into pop, rock, and/or rap. Some of us are over 50. And considering that your app doesnt cater to those like me or bother to update the database sufficiently seven months after the release of a TV series soundtrack that has millions of female fans over 30, $9.99 is a bit much to expect me to buy in. But since your competition didnt do any better, they wont be getting my money either. Incidentally, after some research (which apps like this exist to help people avoid), I was able to find out that the song in question is called "An Fhìdeag Airgid" (meaning "the silver whistle") featuring Gilliebrìde MacMillan.

Constantly says "no music heard." Maybe Ill switch to Shazam.
