SoundCloud: The Music You Love

Been using Soundcloud for 7-8 years at this point and ever since the past year or (probably) more, the bugs on this app have been absolutely unbearable. It all began with the app becoming increasingly sluggish and laggy, then an increase in bugs such as being logged out and my 17,000 liked songs not loading, then the app became so sluggish it takes about 20-30 seconds to unfreeze after startup, then being logged out and unable to sign in AT ALL (started probably over a month ago). Hey, maybe it’s just because im on an iPhone 11 pro max and not the newest iPhone. Sure, maybe that is the case, and luckily from my experience Soundcloud support has actually been responsive and helpful, but im honestly not trying to contact support every single time I have an issue. Soundcloud support also likes asking for session id’s which can only be found when you’re logged in so I am not sure if I could even submit a useful report. Since I cannot log in anymore, I have been using the website (which makes it unable for me to download songs) until I get a new phone or until they put real love into their app instead of allowing their app to feel like a sluggish mess for only the users who actually listen to music and have an extensive catalogue. I must’ve forgot it’s 2026 and nobody optimizes anything anymore 👍 Its honestly so unfortunate how many gems there are on this app and how much music I’ve found from here.

So I have made a playlist and I have been trying to remove songs from it so I can replace them with better songs as I am at the max of 500 songs for a playlists. I can’t remove them for some reason. Not sure why, I know I am doing right because if research. I click edit playlist and scroll down to the song I want to remove. I click the red minus sign on the left and than a remove button that is also red pops up on the right. I am unable to click it after weeks of trying it out... And as well as using the search bar and typing the same song name and artist just in different ways just to find the song im looking, which is very confusing and difficult sometimes depending on the song, other than that the app is great. Have had sound cloud go+ for a long time now. UPDATE—————— After leaving that first review 1 hour ago, I go back to my playlist and have gone from 500 to 375 songs on the playlist. Not sure what songs I lost, might have been the same songs I duplicated on the playlist at least 2-3 time. I spent 3 days just to go through my liked songs and then to make that playlist but am extremely impressed by the fast response from SoundCloud, which gave me more room than I had and it doesn’t seem like I lost songs I was looking forward to listening too, at least yet. Extremely satisfied with the very quick fix from SoundCloud. Will update again if I notice songs that I wanted on the playlist were removed due to my previous comment but I truly believe that they removed song I had duplicated or songs that were useless on my playlist. Very happy.

Absolutely love SC. BUT… the last two to three updates and every once in a while updates tend to fix one issue and cause another in a different part of the app. Currently dealing with all of my Following artists showing up as not followed even though clearly I’m still following them in my followings list and suggested songs will show said following lists. I would really really love if the play next feature could be tweaked as well. It’s the worst setting ten songs up for Next Up then accidentally clicking on a song. It then creates a new station off that accidentally clicked song. And clears the Up Next playlist. Losing several min. Of searching purposefully for next up songs to be played. Fix the Next Up feature in a way that if I accidentally click on a song, those next up songs stay in place. If yall can fix this. I’ll gladly deal with any sort of bugs until yall fix those. Will still use SC as I’m loyal. But please please fix that next up playlist. Also please return/ fix the delete song from playlist feature. One way around the play next feature that I complained about above was adding songs to a playlist and being able to simply remove them. Now we have to scroll to the bottom of a 400+ song playlist just to delete a song off said playlist.
