Customer Reviews

• Yooo

  by Gairett Taylor

  I need to be able to see and send messages through this app without needing to log onto the website just to see if I get an important message from a client PLEASE

• Music is my everything

  by IrishPrincessCat

  So I really like this app but I think you should add a few changes to enhance the performance. I think you should allow the user to delete their sounds even of its already been posted. You should also add a button that allows you to change the privacy settings after the sound has already been posted and so we can update our profiles fully, like changing the 'about me' section.

• Why can't we download from our phone

  by Sky8705

  I love the app I use it every day I would give it five stars if I was able to download songs straight from the phone if possible make it to where we could download songs straight to the phone

• 1 issue

  by ASIAN Batman 11

  Please, give the users the option to delete a song from there playlist through the phone. Please, and thank you.

• Great - for sharing original music on Facebook

  by Shellsj64

  Easy to use, plays in the background if u want. Occasionally I even listen to my friends' stuff!

• BassofDiamonds

  by Bgruberxhhbv

  Love it. Listen to me.. BassofDiamonds... Song name: Anthem

• A great app

  by funerwork

  This app is an outstanding app, however the loading times are sometimes very slow and I've even occasionally not had anything load at all. The app is structured fairly well and I love finding and posting my new music on here. Hopefully some future updates will get rid of some of the minor flaws.

• Crashing

  by Polemical

  It keeps crashing for some reason when it is trying to launch. When it doesn't do this i Iove it.

• Good player

  by Saidl

  This is good as a player. It does not allow you to manage your sounds in any way. I have to clear the app's cache before use or it will not display the lists accurately. That goes for my songs, favorites, and followers. It will duplicate some list items and skip others completely.

• Remove songs?

  by MSG57

  How do I remove songs off of my playlist

• Sound cloud is flawless

  by Aondoe

  This app is beautiful and functional. I love the website as well. It's a great way to share music and listen to music/podcasts anywhere. Can't song enough praises.

• An adventure!

  by Maltoroy

  Its so great to discover other people's music.

• Very VERY ANNOYED

  by Insta_xoxo

• He'll ya! (Whoops) oh we'll.

  by (Nou)

• Awesome app for finding new jelly

  by mark gaudette

  Good stuff

• Good app but

  by Harman707

  The app closes and sometimes it makes you log back into Facebook when you were already logged on ?!? Also songs don't load sometimes so you have to close the app and restart it.

• Why

  by Cannibal Zebra

  I've been blocked from liking/commenting for well over 24 hours. I rarely comment, so it must be my liking. Here's the thing, it's been 3 days. Anyone know how to fix this?

• Crashing

  by Crane games

  I have an iPod fourth gen. and I'me tired of the apps not working and this one is one of my most used and after the update it won't even open

• So disappointed.

  by Joshua.Krikorian

  This App is missing some of the most important features. STATS ! I am an up and coming music producer and I cant even see how many plays/downloads I received that day. Also , messaging , is this seriously a complicated thing to incorporate ? The app doesnt crash on me very often , but the missing features really turn me off.

• Distressed

  by Krazzzzzzzxzzz

  What's with the force closing !! Please fix I don't want to delete it

• It won't load.

  by Yes. I have a complaint.

  This app won't load. It loaded at first. And then I tried it again. And it didn't load. Yeah.

• Awesome

  by Miguel123mw3bf3sr3

  I like this better than having to download songs off of iTunes using a computer.

• app won't load

  by WinterEF

  plz fix!

• App quits when BT disconnects

  by JB3NB

  Super annoying. Every time I turn my car off and then get back in, the app restarts and I have to log in every time I open it AND I lose the place in the song or set I'm listening to and it goes all the way back to my stream.

• Crashing

  by gizbellrc99

  Everytime I try to open the app it stays on the opening screen then goes back to my home screen and I've tried everything and it still isn't working.

• Great app but a few fix suggestions

  by CaLeB J Touché

  I love SoundCloud and use this app every single day. I love everything about the app except 3 things. 1) I have to delete and reload the app from iTunes because about once a week it won't open. 2) The newest songs added to your playlist are at the bottom of the playlist forcing you to scroll and wait for the app to load the songs if your playlist is long enough. About over 50 songs in a playlist and you're having to do a lot of scrolling and waiting. 3) And with that playlist problem in #2, another playlist problem is when you're in your playlist if you play a song at the bottom and then come back to the playlist of songs. It kicks you up the playlist making you do more scrolling and waiting to get back to your recently added songs at the bottom. I know you can get on the actual SoundCloud website and rearrange your songs but it's still a hassle to move every one of your daily added playlist songs to the top of your playlist. Just to reiterate, I am not dissing this app at all, just have a few suggestions to make it even better and easier on the user. This is by far my most used and favorite app on my phone.

• DOESN'T WORK IPHONE 4

  by Raycharles777

  Soundcloud was working fine for the last few weeks I've had it downloaded on my iPhone 4, iOS 6. But the last 3 days it won't even open. Please fix this and ill change my review to 5 stars because I love and live soundcloud thank you

• Great app

  by marshall BRADY

  Only listen to this it's awesome and easy just crashes a little too often or won't open

• Lacks feature

  by Quinn Souther

  Please add messaging as a panel to the app. It's hard to network one's music using this app.

• Playlist on the IPad aren't showing

  by lolz; kokoko?

  My playlists show on my phone, but not my iPad. Please fix. Love the app!

• Great but I want an update !

  by Crazypaparazzi

  I really like the app but i want to post my own record from my phone. Can you guys make an update that can allow people to post their records to Soundcloud ?

• It's more easier for me to get music without paying!

  by lanabug~~^o^

  I mean everything about this app is an a+ to me I'm glad I found this app and someone recommended me this app but I never knew it worked! There could be some flaws but I still can enjoy my music wherever I go! It's an very enjoyable app!

• Frustrating :/

  by That funny for

  Great app, but I can't delete old playlists I created and I can't find an option to delete old songs that I added to said playlists.

• Problem

  by Fan pants

  I forgot my password and it won't let me back in

• Love

  by JulieSims

  I love it but I want to be able to delete things from my iPhone.

• So Godd!

  by Vince Cole

  Soundcloud exposed me to so many new artists and genres that it is almost now all I use for music. I only have one problem and that is that there is no download feature. I find it a hassle to have to go on my computer just to download a song from the artist I like. Other than that this is the best thing ever! I would recommend getting the app if you want to expose yourself to new music. Check out me while you're there- (Sound Slayer [Official])

• Songs/app WON'T LOAD

  by Pauline49er

  I like this app but sometimes the songs won't load.and then there is times were the app won't load it's frustrating cause I want to listen to my music.CAN YOU PLEASE FIX !!! Ty

• Ugh

  by addictedtoy0ux0

  by Maztraana

  Can u guys make an update cause my soundcloud won't load up. ;_;

• Like it

  by Supersimoz

  I love this app

• Really good overall

  by Needs shuffle on playlists

  Needs to have shuffle on the playlists pleasee

• Ehhhh

  by Jujubean111945

  I think soundcloud is a very accurate music app but there is a couple of problems: first of all you definatly need to add a shuffle button and add a button where you can delete songs.. That would really improve this app thanks!

• Pretty good but sound issue

  by Lunar Blade

  If you have a 4s on ios 7 and your sound no longer appears then delete this app and restart your phone but you can redownload it

• Explore :(

  by to:apple

  The app is great for listening to people I know, but what happened to the explore tab? A huge part of the soundcloud community is discovering new music, and if we can't do that... Then what's the point?

• Really awesome

  by Bro1954

  Really useful app has all the great songs you want Ex: Dubstep rap hip hop you name it really great app

• Great App

  by kingeste

  Great app. Can't get past 'Rate This App' screen though.

• Nice

  by Dee Durnil

  You need to be able to shuffle your likes

• Love it BUT

  by Jshajsybskx

  Needs a REPLAY button. PLEASE !

• Doesn't work

  by allykat988

  This app won't open and it always crashes

• Amazing app

  by Google Hater Bing Lover

  Great app as long as you wifi or a cellular network

• A problem

  by On_the_coast

  Well it's a awesome app no doubt, but you can't edit/delete playlists, and you can't listen to song without wifi. You should be able to download the song to listen to it anywhere. Thanks and please take this review into consideration. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

• Music

  by Piping lock

  When I hear the music I just want to dance

• Legit

  by Voodookills

  Its a decent app. Only problem is that some songs wont be there. And some songs take a while to load, before you download i suggest you listen to the actual song rather then just adding it to a play list, there are many "covers" of songs which sound awful.

• wow

  by FlipnoteToddXD

  Keeps crashing it only shows the Soundcloud logo and then crashes never opens fix it

• Good app

  by Ncdthcsstygcfyuuuuuuxdtvc

  I like how you can upload songs straight out of garage band app. Could be better but it's got it where it counts.

• Needs an update for big fixes

  by Lexthepro

  I love sound cloud it's so much better then pandora but lately mine will close suddenly

  by Andrew Jordan

  It was perfect but recently won't open. Maybe bugs or something please fix it.

• Amazing app with a flaw...

  by VividNotations

  Been using this app to upload my tunes, and hear the other artists out there in the world. Tonight, the app just started not wanting to load. The app is truly amazing, but this flaw makes uploading and listening to music very hard to do. Please fix this soon, I want to get back to enjoying other's tunes. :/

• Soundcloud

• It used to be great...

  Every now and then I have the same problem where I try to start the app and it just freezes, not letting me do anything, then just crashes and goes back to my home page, I'd really like for this to be fixed. But other than that it is a great app.

• Something went wrong

  by Bri-z Bri'Baby

  This used to be my favorite app but now I can't even get it to open. As soon as I try to sign in it force closes on me. I can't do anything with it. As of right now it is a waste of space.

• please fix

  by Mcsteezy 777

  songs wont play at times and will be stuck on loading even with good signal

• still can't remember how, or where I lost my way

  by Jordanfamily1

  when it comes to my vox, i am terribly shy; so, i hope when i get those, "I am finally going to load something!" Even though it would most definitely be a cover, acoustic and vox, mono at redbook specs with the "mic" on the phone, seems like the reception would be to a pretty cool community. Is it wrong to rate something I have stared at more than use?

• Whyyyyy

  by Better pitch correction please

  It won't let me upload sounds to Twitter it says a problem has occurred

• Keeps freezing

  by Danny36_99

  It keeps freezing every time I open the app please fix I really like this app

  by MZEZ

  Great app I just wish the songs would play one after the next, instead I have to go to my playlist and select a new song, unless maybe there's a way of doing it and maybe I just haven't figured it out. 4 1/2 Stars though!
