An editorial reading of the saved reviews

SoundHound can find songs by humming, which sets it apart from competitors, but degraded recognition accuracy has become a widespread complaint: well-known tracks go unrecognized where Shazam identifies them in five seconds.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

SH hasn't found a song in weeks. Lay the phone next to speaker? Nothing. Don't even ask it to find music without words (Impossible Germany - Wilco!) and Shazam found it in 5 seconds. SH could not find it after 3min
either i have perfect pitch and a naturally beautiful singing voice or this app is good at figuring out what song you're singing because it finds the song i'm looking for pretty consistently
