Soundmap: Find Your Songs Reviews

i like the idea of Soundmap , it’s a work in progress ofc but it updates often, definitely try it out!!

This concept is genius, and I love it! Patiently awaiting features like unlocking things for free or coins. Or maybe a flat payment for lifetime premium rather than yearly subscription.

Soundmap just came out by the time I’m writing this. It’s such a great idea, but I’ve found myself extremely bored trying to get song that I actually know/like and there is nothing to do to preoccupy myself while on Soundmap other then getting stuff and trading, which by the time I’m making this has about 20 people trading around the same songs. Also the only way I can limit the amount of songs that I just don’t care about is to buy premium, which costs 20 DOLLARS. That is actually a scam and the only way to get it at a cheaper price is to promote it on TikTok/insta and get 1000 likes, which is almost impossible for someone with 40 TikTok followers. I do view this as possibly the next big thing, but I just don’t like how little they’ve added and how much they’re asking for premium. Maybe add more benefits and lower the asking price and that issue would be solved

Tweak out a few bugs, get the popularity up a bit and add features like searching for users, maybe adding users as friends etc and it’ll be a hit like PoGo was in 2016.

ive had it for 5 days and i have 400 songs. The community is also so nice (please add a search feature when looking for songs in your profile)

I found this on TikTok and I’m already obsessed with it it’s so much fun

extremely unique concept executed greatly

I’ve reinstalled a bunch of times, but it always just keeps getting stuck on the logo and can’t open to anything

it crashes when i open it

amazing for when i do my nightly check ins in the city!!

Soundmap is so fun love it

It’s good

Skink

Good

App is amazing but i haven’t seen any Spanish tracks despite Spanish artists being available for the 10 favorite artists thing

Anytime I walk now I’ll walk farther and longer just to pick up songs. Songs I don’t even care about. But when I pickup a song I know and forgot about? I’m in love. I need an iPod of just songs I’ve collected by walking

LOVE this concept but please add meaning to the coins feature because there’s nothing to do with them. Also very under developed still fun though.

Whoever came up with his is an actual genius.

do you expect me to drive aroujd my entire town just to collect songs. fix soemthijf about the drop or radius cus it SUXXXXXX!!!!!

Needs some more songs and genres

Pretend this is something cool

good so far, but i think a chat system or a way to make requests during trades would be beneficial instead of waiting for a single song or artist that you want to come up.

There should be an option to go into someone’s account page and select songs to make a custom trade request this would be a huge upgrade

I got a problem where like half the drops don’t give me songs but when I try to spin agin it puts the cooldown

After a few days of using Soundmap, i have gotten a bug where i can't use Soundmap . When i click on it I will sit on a black screen with the logo and no matter what i do it won't load. Besides this minor issue the apps great.

So much fun and I love the surprise for what song you get

Soundmap is literally what people need

Lady Gaga

Soundmap is amazing the only thing that I would ask is to put more genres like rap or just more. I feel like if they add more it would give me a better Chan e of music that I like I don’t want no music that I don’t like. So just adding a category that’s like rap would help me out a lot. I love rap so yeah. Another thing that I would say is to add more rarity’s there just being 3 rarity’s makes some songs seem worthless. They need to add an epic or legendary for popular songs. That would make this a lot better. I think that just a song being decent/good does not make it a rare, just adding more rarity’s would be amazing but besides that Soundmap is awsome and I love it

Ive been playing this game for about a week now and i have really been enjoying it, enough to were i have bought premium. The games is already super cool but i do have some ideas that could make it more fun/easier for the player

It would be nice if you could see which drops you have already gotten and maybe it could have a sort of timer for example: after i get a drop there could be a green circle next the label and as it get closer to reset the green dot could fade to red or fade away.

Another idea could be having timers over drops whenever you are zoomed in close enough to were they don’t overlap, it would just make it easier to farm because tapping on all of the drops and exiting them takes super long.

Absolutely love this game! Just thought I would submit some things I’ve thought of while playing. Most importantly, having a “sets” section would be awesome. For example, 10 rare songs can be traded in for a artist selection, or 3 rare songs can be traded in for a random rare song. Another, adding friends would be awesome! I also found that if you don’t repost your trade items, they get lost so easily. Anyways, it would be so cool to have a sets option, because although this game is great all around, it gets a little boring when you can’t leave the house and can only do trades. Love the game, thanks!

This is such a cool app! I love the community aspect, I love how it feels like a modern version of Pokemon go, this is some great stuff. However, there are a few things it could still accel in. Firstly, more song rarities than common, uncommon and rare would be great - rare being the best rarity is kind of lackluster. Also, I think hiding the player's level is incredibly annoying since it takes away what looks to be a core part of the gameplay. A premium could work, but not in a way that hinders the main gameplay experience. Otherwise, this is great

The concept of this game is really cool, and it’s a lot of fun. it’s starting to get a lot of popularity fast, which is amazing! However, with Soundmap getting so well known, the aspect of the game that makes it to where you can’t get a drop if someone else already has is really annoying. It makes it a major inconvenience considering the fact it’s is gaining popularity. It takes a lot of fun out of the game because it’s hard for people to get new songs. I fully believe the experience would be 10x more fun if this feature was removed, and people could just get the songs despite if someone else already has on their own timing. Please please PLEASEEE.

this app is great. I love it. Ive been using it every day since ive gotten it and its so much fun. Along with the great app, it also has an amazing community with people ranging from ages 12-40. The this app team is also great. When theres a bug reported, they work fast and fix it. When you join this app, i recommend also joining the discord server. I myself am pretty active in there, mostly making trades. Anyways im gonna keep this review short and leave it there. this app is great and a definitely recommend getting it.

This is an interesting new take on the genre of GPS games. As someone who has no interest in the trading aspect, it’s still fun to just collect and listen to samples of random songs. I also really appreciate that the premium features can be unlocked with a one-time fee instead of an endless subscription. However, they way it’s advertised is a bit overkill. I think most of the premium features themselves do a great job of justifying the price, so having it shoved in your face every time you launch Soundmap and having the second radius always visible on the map really sour the experience in an otherwise great game.

3 offers is already too small but on top of that you can't change your offers. Once u made 3 offers you can't take them away unless you sell one of the songs. If you have offered 3 songs you want to keep then the offer feature is completely gone because you can't sell those songs. Also, the fact that you have to pay 20 bucks just to see what level you are makes no sense. I suggest letting us see our level for free just like any other game and adding a different feature for premium to replace the hidden level.

I really enjoy this music / Pokémon go style of entertainment. Majority is hoping and trading with others. The UI is pretty decent to work with and features are easily available!
Accounts and DMs are a point of contact not yet included, I hope.
Would be dope to have a friends list and being about to start trade groups, so others can have easier access to wanting their music in a centralized area.
other than the gamble of what song you win + lowball trades every time
It’s an awesome app and every much recommended, even the premium features is worth it if your going to treat it essentially as Pokémon go

I love being able to collect my favorite artists and trade for them too. Ive made playlists of their albums so when i collect a song, I assign that song to the corresponding playlist. So far im trying to complete “The Life of Pablo” by kanye and its going well. I cannot wait to see how the game gets updated and the future features to come. One suggestion I would recommend would be adding a gospel or christian genre. Would be awesome!! Anyway, love the idea, cant wait for more. Thanks!!

let me just preface, i am a BIG music nerd, and an ex-pokemon fan. this game just mashed both of those together. i totally see the potential that this game has, and i hope it grows really well. it’s not perfect tho, i do have some suggestions.

1) more collection sorting filters (specifically by artist name)
i HATE having to scroll through hundreds of songs to find a specific one by an artist, just make it easier by sorting by artist. also maybe add a sort by genre instead of “only show these genres”

2) premium is too much
yes yes yes, i know there was a 50% off sale very recently and it is almost always on 30% off sale (side note: 30% off of $30 is not $20). for what you get, it’s a little too much.

3) a challenge/quest system
y’know, get people moving out of the house, find new drops, complete some daily quests for some extra coins.

overall, it’s quite good, but not the best it can be.

this game/app or wtv you wanna call it is actually super fun and unique. It has a lot more artists than I thought it would and is kinda better than pokemon go itself💀. But I think you should be able to add friends on the game and be able to get bonus multipliers/money if your walking with your friends for drops or smth like that to encourage js going out with your friends. Still a fire game regardless tho

Love this game and it’s been really fun to listen to new types of music. One thing I would like to see is when you trade, you could at least choose what type of genre or artist you would want in return or add a little description (I get that’s what discord is for, but it would be nice for in game as well). I also think it would be cool if it put all the songs you collected that day into a playlist that you could listen to.

I always enjoyed games similar to this one and its premise of instead of pokemon or something of the like, you are getting songs, which I thought was cool and unique, and upon playing the game, it’s safe to say it was worth it, and I always have fun whenever I am heading somewhere and looking on the map to see where the next drop is to collect another song, hoping it’s from one of my favorite artists.

I always liked Pokemon Go when I was younger, so Soundmap was kind of nostalgic in a sense. One of the main things I like is that it works without having to pay. You can still use Soundmap functionally without having to pay, but honestly just pay for it if you can because it's a one time payment of 20 dollars. You never have to pay again, no subscription or anything. Amazing app!!!

I love Soundmap I love the concept and the developers are constantly working on improving it. They’re updates all the time and you can get a ton of your favorite songs. They just added a new feature where for 1000 coins you can get a song from your favorite artist, there are premium options but you don’t have to spend any money on the game. Five stars great game.

This games insanely fun and runs so smooth but I have some suggestions. As others say a friend system to trade directly with your friends would be fun. I also suggest a request option so people know what song/artist you are looking for. Love Soundmap.

I really like the concept of Soundmap ! I think being able to create your own playlist through trading and collecting songs is very engaging. However, I think Soundmap needs to include more diversity in their music. As a Bollywood lover, I would love to see Indian music and other music from other cultures in Soundmap to collect and trade. Other than that, I think Soundmap has great potential!

It’s a very good game I bought premium today I’d say the only problems are 1: you can’t add people, a dm system would be nice and being able to add friends 2: I also dislike that when someone puts multiple songs in a trade I can’t trade for 1 I have to trade for the entire collection they added. Other than those little suggestions I honestly really love the game keep up the good work

My friend told me about this a day ago, Pokémon go but with songs, it is amazing, great idea, executed well, very good and fun game

Some things that would make it better is A make it so you can have the option to pay only coins when trading, B not have the premium page pop up every time you load in, C make a chat so we can communicate with people we’re trading with, D perhaps more customization, make it so we can have a light theme or different colors of our choosing, very good game keep it up

As someone who’s listening to music just about every moment I’m awake - I find Soundmap to be really enjoyable. So much that I had bought premium on my 1st day playing it.

Still, I have a few thoughts for improvements. For starters, I feel that the subscription cost is a bit high being $20 to enable a vast amount of pretty critical features. I am OK with that amount, being it is for a lifetime & is not reoccurring, which is a pretty big plus in my opinion. I just feel like a lot of other people may not be willing to spend that much, therefore lowering the amount of habitually active users.

Another thing that would be useful is to not have the option of offering someone a song they already own when trading with them. That way we don’t have to search all their songs & all our songs in turn to see what we can offer them in a trade.

I think that it would also be super helpful to have a sort of ‘wishlist’ feature on our profiles. Then others can see when trading & it could automatically let us know if we have any of the songs on a wishlist to add to a trade.
The other main thing I’d like to see is when we go to someone’s profile, have the option to see all their active trades & the ability to make offers on them.

I really love Soundmap & am really glad it exists!

I think the idea of Soundmap if phenomenal and fun, however it definitely needs more functionalities. I would say that while expanding the amount and variety of music is a must, it would be awesome to have a way to look up people by user, add friends, look at friend’s collections, and maybe be able to set up private trades with friends. Also, if there’s a way to add a bit more graphics to Soundmap , that would make it more appealing to just be on Soundmap as well.

Solid app idea and would love to see how far Soundmap goes.

Soundmap is definitely fun!! And I would recommend it if you love music and collecting/trading songs!! However, with it being a newer and growing app the focus is highly on inviting others as an incentive for premium… which I don’t like. I wish you could see your rank or put at least three favorite artists without having premium. Overall really love it and I’ll continue to play because I’m excited to see Soundmap grow as more people start to use it…

Tips for future updates:
1. Allow a few more features for non-premium members or bring the lifetime premium cost down ($20 is hefty?).
2. Have the map follow you as you move, similar to how Pokémon Go does and the old Harry Potter game. Needs a location tracking update.
3. Allow you to add friends/follow people!! What’s the point of inviting my friends to Soundmap if we can’t keep up with each other on it? Maybe allow us to gift songs to mutual friends similar to gifts on Pokémon Go.
4. Add some more personalization… characters, vibes, idk something to add a lil extra “game” to Soundmap when you’re searching for new songs!

Unless you pay the $20 for premium, Soundmap is basically no fun. After having Soundmap for a few hours, I only have 1 song out of 9 from an artists I’ve actually heard of (and I feel I have a pretty broad music taste). The only way to set any preferences for artists you like is to pay for premium. The people trading have notes like “trading for coins only” and then an absurd amount of coins or they are only trading for specific songs. You are only allowed to post 3 offers yourself (but I have 8/9 of my songs I want to trade). Most of the time when I go to click a feature the premium button pops up. At the least I think you should be allowed to set artists preferences (maybe a limited number like 3) so that you get at least a few songs from artists you actually know. I’m not even asking for songs I know, just from artists I’ve heard of. I think I will keep trying Soundmap for a day or two but if I’m not able to get any artists I know I will be deleting Soundmap .

Some features that would greatly improve this game:
- Filter on your profile for songs that are in playlist/songs that are not in a playlist
- Same thing for when trading with another user, there should be an option to filter out any songs that you have so you don’t keep having to click back to your profile to search for whether you have a song
- when trading, songs in your library that the other person owns should be grayed out or not there at all so I don’t get rejected simply because they already have the song I’m trying to trade
- there should be a link to the playlist the song resides in when I click on a song in my library. Nothing fancy just a button to click to go to the playlist showing “hey, this song is in this playlist”

I honestly really love Soundmap! the reason i give 3 stars is cause i can tell Soundmap can have so much more potential, but theres such limited things to do on the game. I think we should be able to listen to the whole song, since it is a music app, and i also expected that when i downloaded it:/ it only plays like 30 seconds. i also think we should be able to drop songs, as well as Soundmap too, i understand the concept of being able to walk around and collect drops, but i think it would even more fun seeing live people using Soundmap be able to drop songs they enjoy and also to see what everyone else listens to and potentially like it. As well as little tweaks and such. Other than that Soundmap is great, and like i said has great potential. They should definitely invest to make it even better!

Let me start this off by saying it’s not often I leave reviews on games, let alone positive ones. But this game has so much potential. The community is great. The developers are listening to the community, the gameplay keeps you hooked. I could go on and on about how great of a game this is. I’d highly recommend joining the discord server as well, as the people there tend to be very helpful. Of course the game has its little glitches and plenty of room for improvement, but that’s to be expected from a small team of developers and a relatively new game. Give it a try!!!

The idea is amazing and it’s loads of fun and it has the chance to be a lot better with a few simple things

1. The ability to add friends/a friends tab, this is a huge piece missing from Soundmap that should be in it because you have to search for them everytime you want to check out they’re account, a simple friends tab/being able to add and unadd people would make it a lot easier to navigate.

2. When you open drops it can take up to 2-5 mins sometimes for it to actually open(this doesn’t happen all the time but it feels like it does reoccur) and most times you are forced to reset Soundmap and you miss out on the opening animation and satisfaction of pulling a song.

3. Simple bug fixes and faster opening times would take Soundmap to the next level

Hoping it can be updated/fixed soon it’s a lot of fun and I can see myself playing for a long time and these suggestions would make it a lot easier for me and my friends :)

Soundmap is off to a good start. I really enjoy the trading and social aspect on top of the music collection.

Of course, Soundmap could also do with a lot of quality of life improvements. Namely, a search history to show up under the search bar, friends lists or trade often lists, coins-for-song trades. The latest update, as of the 2nd of April 2024, added some good things to Soundmap such as multiple indicators for different things, profile looks up and more.

Personally, I also think that locking things like levels, rankings or similar metrics behind the paywall is pretty pointless. The real draw to the premium version of Soundmap is the expanded song radar, which is justifiably behind the paywall. For the other things, though, they could lose the paywall without affecting the incentive system too much.

Overall, a really cool app. Keep going down this path and you'll be sure to have a super fun, addicting game.

Soundmap is phenomenal. I hardly ever pay for anything on Soundmap Store but I had to go premium immediately in this case. Growing up I loved collecting music through the years, from physical records to digital. This definitely brings fulfillment of that desire into the social age.

I would love to see the developer add some kind of marketplace/auction features for our coins, and perhaps partner with artists for exclusive music that can only be obtained here. Either way I’m hoping for continued success of Soundmap. I’ll be playing!

So this was actually better than I expected in all forms. There’s so much room for potential and growth. (Im new so I don’t know if there is a feature in game) but I would like a feature where you get coins or awards if you are able to collect a full album from any Artist. It makes me tuned in more often and brings the trade system into play more than it already is. I just think it’ll be a good idea. (Like stated before, I’m new so I don’t know if it’s already in.) great game!!!!

As a music lover, Soundmap is engaging. Turning songs in trading cards is a interesting idea. I have zero clue about the licensing and would love for them to diversify the genres that are represented. The paywall is not constraining at all. The trading is my personal favorite part of the experience. I swear I’ve gone on walks in my neighborhood in order to collect songs. What do you think about finding a way to cut people off from collecting songs while driving? If they added more options for interaction with others users and added Tobi Lou to the discography, I would upgrade to premium. Two thumbs up.

So I love Soundmap and it has even taken over pokemon go for the most played app on my phone, my only issue and concern is the amount of glitches and coins I waste because of it. In the trade menu a song is represented as Rare, so I pay $1000 or more for it, and then when it’s in my collection it turns to common or uncommon and I think that’s really unfair for players and if it’s something that people are exploiting it needs to be patched asap because coins aren’t easy to come by if you aren’t a pay to play player. I love everything else about Soundmap but hopefully the glitches are fixed soon and we can stop getting “ scammed “.

Concept is amazing and Ive had lots of fun the past few days playing, however there are definitely updates that need to come such as improving the rarity system. Right now, it is based off how popular the song is in the artist's discography but in the future, id hope for the same popularity concept to apply however with it being much harder to obtain. Right now, almsot every trader has plenty of rares which is supposed to be the hardest to get. I think this is likely because of loot drops which are a bit too overpowered. Though you guys should keep it for a bit so I can get more songs ;)

Soundmap is cool I’m getting all my favorite songs, the only thing Id say, is the search bar isn’t always accurate or the best you can have a song or dozen from a specific artist and you can’t look them up to find them for trades or offers cause they aren’t as known or barley out. Also the badges are only to certain artists, I feel as there should be many more but I can say there are many updates that give good improvements to Soundmap very frequently so I don’t see this being much of a problem later on, cool app 🧟‍♂️

The game already pretty fun, but there needs to be more goals. Like in Pokémon go, where you can put your Pokémon in gyms to get coins, and others try to fight your Pokémon to take your spot. The devs could set up something like an aux battle type thing to get this same type of thing. Also, there should be a way to trade with friends and have a rare chance of the trade upgrading the song. Like lucky Pokémon in Pokémon go. Basically, Pokémon go knew what they were doing, and the more features that you adapt from their game, the more people this game is going to draw in. Also the premium feature is the worst part of Soundmap , and it should just become the normal for everyone without paying. People can maybe buy remote passes to get drops that are REALLY far away, but choosing your favorite artists and figuring out your rank, along with the bigger radius, should just be basic features that are free to play with.
Also, last thing, a really cool feature would be for the max rarity to be Unreleased, which is songs off of stuff like Days Before Rodeo, like albums and songs that aren’t officially on streaming services. That would be a really cool feature.

I’ve been playing this game for a few months now and I’ve seen it evolve as the player base increases. The development has been very good at addressing some concerns the community has. My main concern with Soundmap though is how the meta of the game has changed since changing the “favorite artists pack” from 1k to 2k coins. It was pretty controversial at the time but it was balanced out by increased rewards for leveling up. The problem with this though is that the game is solely based on saving up for that pack, rather than experiencing the surprise of getting one of your favorite artists organically. The promise that there’s a 10x chance of getting your favorite artists with premium just isn’t true. If anything the amount I get from my favorite artists in normal drops has DECREASED since I first got Soundmap . So it’s kinda just turned into an idle game where it’s just waiting until you have enough to unlock what u actually want.

Other than that I’m a huge fan and the customization updates of recent have been really cool.

First, premium is pretty necessary and $20 is a bit steep. After getting it, I did have fun with fav artists being easier to find. Trading can be fun too, but frustrating. It should REALLY tell you: 1, if someone (or yourself) already has a song, since you can’t accept duplicates and 2, requirements for trading like rarity/genre/artists. I’ve traded, not realizing I had a song, which meant I just lost one for nothing. I’ve had to go through tons of people’s profiles and songs just to figure out what they don’t have already. Soundmap also heavily promotes Kanye which is really off-putting and things like that are bound to cause issues in the future. Hopefully with more genres/better trading system things can be more balanced out, I think it has potential.

I like Soundmap would def give it a 3.5 rating because without the pro version it’s stupid and needs to make it more accessible for people who don’t wanna spend money. Other then that I like the game and I spent $20 myself.
FEATURES TO ADD OR CHANGE
1.the rarity system and however that works please clean that system up and either number how many songs exist or soemthing better
2. In the trade make us be able to message or PM/DM someone to see what they would except for a trade. Or be able to make group chat with friends so you can share what new music u got or if you got a shiny and maybe u might want to give it away

I’ve had this app for more or less two weeks, and I absolutely love it. Finding songs around the map and trading it with others is incredibly fun, I find myself wanting opening Soundmap every new place I go and I collect songs all the time. The fact that you can trade with others and find songs that are posted on the trade menu makes it way more engaging. I’ve already made so many friends off Discord and we share and trade songs with each other a lot. It’s fun to go around and collect songs with your real life friends as well. Overall, the idea of a game that also helps you interact with the real world whilst finding songs around a map is incredibly fun as a music lover who hasn’t found any app other than TikTok to be engaging.

I’ve been really enjoying playing the game over the last week. There are definitely some bugs that need to be worked out and I want to see a bit more to it like more ways to gain coins/drops or other mini games, etc. But the biggest area of opportunity for me is the lack of genres. I’m enjoying it despite not being the biggest hip hop fan (especially from the last 10 years) but it’s obviously targeted more toward hip hop fans at the moment. The fact that country is bulked into pop is a bummer (but k pop has its own category??). I would love to be able to get more specific with what genre I’m drawing from on my daily drop (and on the map in general) or have decade categories. Overall for how new the game is, it’s a win and I hope it can develop into a 5 star game, would love to come back and update my review!

if u like music and collecting this is an amazing game. its like pokemon go but u collect and trade songs. there is incentives to collect ur favorite artists and the community is full of nice and cool people to share opinions on music with. The devs clearly care about there game which makes me more comfortable and willing to spend actual money on it as i have upgraded to this app plus which makes the game a tad bit better but also allows me to feel like i am contributing to the community and supporting these devs to continue updating this pretty fun game.

Me and my friends all recently downloaded the game and have been playing it every day. This game is great and it would be even better with a couple of suggestions. 1. I would like if there was also country genres in addition to the other genres. 2. It would be helpful to add a direct message function with word sensory to help negotiate trades peacefully and easily. 3. I would like to be able to request multiple songs from people instead of having to find them on the trade list and trade 1 by 1. This is one of the top games of 2024 and I hope to see improvements as well as more downloads to this game after the adjustments. This will bring in more customers and help expand this community.
