One of my most frequently used apps
It must be over 10 years now I’ve used this app. I have nothing but good things to say. It’s been a very seldom time over the years that it didn’t pull up the song I was listening too, no matter how obscure. Did you ever find yourself hearing a song in a crowded place that brought back old memories but you never really knew who played it? This app has your back. Did you hear a song on a random tv show and really like it but never heard it before but you’d like to hear it again? This app will save it. And you can go over all of those saves at any point no matter how long ago you saved them. It’s like having an ongoing source recording the music score of your life documentary.

Falling short. I used to use this app all the time, when one day, I was streaming xm on my phone, heard a song I wanted to remember for later, I go to open the sound hound app and the music stops, ok, I go back to xm, hit play, go back to sound hound and the music stops again. It used to listen or scan what you were listening to and save it in your history.... and suddenly it stopped doing that. Now, I try to scan a song I’m listening to in my house (my house WiFi is 400mps) and I’m told by I have bad connection... I snap, I do a speed test of my WiFi to get 390 reading.... this app has become garbage. And in the garbage it will go ✌️

The best but latest version is broken.
Love SoundHound but the most recent version gives "no music heard" or "we can't find that one" errors. Delete & reinstall it and it works till you quit then stops again. But hey, all the new Apple Music banner ads run just fine (please get rid of the banners). And unless I'm missing something there's no way to turn off the super-annoying Ok Hound, which pops up at random times. This app is starting to get eroded with crappy decisions. Apple/Shazam will crush you if you don't get it sorted.
