Discover and share music on the go

SoundCloud is an online platform that brings together artists and music lovers, allowing you to discover new music, or 'sounds' on the go with a mobile app for iPhone. As a useful platform for new artists, SoundCloud frequently features music you'd have trouble finding anywhere else online!

Discovering and sharing

SoundClould for iOS lets you discover new music by searching artists, genres and keywords, as well as giving you suggestions on who to follow.

SoundCloud is heavily integrated with Facebook, giving you the option to register using the social media platform, show a live feed of what you are listening to, find and follow Facebook friends, and share music to your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and Google+ accounts.

The verdict?

SoundCloud is a great service, especially for discovering new or emerging artists or even creating your own sounds, but the streaming capabilities of the app for iPhone could be improved to provide a better iOS experience.

The SoundCloud home screen features music shared by those users you follow to give you the most current updates of new sounds. Saving your favorite sounds is easy with the option to 'like' sounds, create playlists and sets, and re-post music.

Navigating through to your own profile, searching for sounds and tracking user activity is done through a panel at the bottom of the app.

SoundCloud lets you stream individual sounds, sets, or create playlists. There can be a slight lag when switching between sounds, and the app itself can be slow to load content.

Changes

The latest major update to SoundCloud revamps the app's user interface in an attempt to beautify the design and make the controls easier to use. The new 'one thumb' player interface allows you to play, pause, skip and explore without fiddly menus.

Other improvements include the ability to look a user's profile straight from a track or playlist, and to display all your likes and playlists in the same place, much like the Your Music section in Spotify, or the Library in Google Play Music.

Many will be unhappy with the changes made to SoundCloud, which could be seen as 'oversimplification' of the app. The app no longer allows you to add or view comments on tracks, there's no auto-suggest as you search, no recording feature, and the use of larger cover artwork means even more scrolling.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
