SoundCloud: Discover New Music 12+

I've had SoundCloud for years now but I realized I never left a review yet. SoundCloud truly was and is a magical place for music, all the biggest modern rap/hip hop artists got their start from SoundCloud (lil pump, lil skies, lil peep, 21 savage, Suicideboy$, the list goes on!) not only is the environment of the app "creation", but it's also a well made app. I used multiple music softwares/apps so I can get every song I need but I truly wish every app would take notes from SoundCloud. (PLEASE NEVER CHANGE THIS ABOUT THE APP!!) but it allows you to put your phone on sleep mode while music still plays, you have to pay a monthly premium fee to other apps to be able to do that! I've been loyal to SoundCloud even if l use other apps (you should always seek out new music on both SoundCloud and elsewhere!) you really can't go wrong trying it, you'll end up finding tons of music that's great yet you had no idea about beforehand. Nothing but praise on my end! Stay true to yourselves SoundCloud and never change up because society tells you you should! SoundCloud invented their own collective consciousness and has gave hundreds their start into making music!

This has been an issue for the past month and a half now

I’ve got ScGO, so my likes and any playlists I download will show up, but just at random any UI that refreshes with internet will just be stuck in a buffering animation and I can’t search up any music, nor will my likes save or any songs to any playlists I have; this bug occurs essentially everytime I open the app, but maybe 3/10 of the time it will open the app and all the features will work temporarily and then almost immediately cut out again unless I test my luck at restarting the app.

I’ve already made like 2 different complaints about this in the feedback section on the Sc website I was routed to, but after like 2 different updates the bug is still persisting, I’ve already tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but the bug is still here and it’s really annoying when I can’t open up any other playlists aside from my likes and the ones I try to download, and I won’t receive any emails back aside from the ones telling me I won’t receive any emails back, so I’m not sure if any feedback I write about is even being viewed, nor can I even mark the feedback as a bug on the site (because I’m not given the option to do so) so I have less of a reason to be confident that anyone seen the complaints to begin with🤷🏽‍♂️

Edit: As of this most recent update, I’ve been logged out of my account and am unable to log back in due to “something unexpected” happening. Even on strong wifi connection, I’m unable to bypass the error. Even SoundCloud’s website is unresponsive and I can’t even hit the sign in button or proceed through the sign in page. Not sure what the issue is, but I’m unable to use the app and service in general at all in its current state, which is a real shame, because all my playlists are on there. I hope this gets fixed soon, because I love this app. Assuming the above is a non issue for other users however, my normal review proceeds below: Overall this app is great for some free listening with limited ads. Some things I’d love to see implemented at some point: Edit Playlist names: as one adds to their playlist, sometimes the creator may want to edit its name to be more accurate to the music inside in some way. Being able to edit playlist names in the app would be great. Reorder Playlists: Some people may want to organize their playlists alphabetically or thematically as opposed to the order by creation SoundCloud defaults to in the app. Being able to modify your playlists in this way would be a nice change. These QoL changes are indeed small, but would go a long way in making the app feel a bit more user friendly.
