Pathetic.
Still massively abusing the iOS audio APIs
No track info on iOS
Have you bought an iPad to test your app on yet?
Old reviews below.
===========
29 January 2015:
iPad app updated. Terrible. The "Following" indicator is still broken, theres no way to see when a song was uploaded/shared, the waveform player thing (and controls) at the bottom are gone. Same complaints as I wrote below for version 3.0 for iPhone. This app is just flat-out terrible.
I cant wait for all of the artists I follow to migrate to a service that cares what their users think. Such a bummer.
Oh and theres still no caching??? So if I want to listen to a song 3 times in half an hour, I have to re-stream it each time, using up my data and your bandwidth. GENIUS.

I cant believe you guys just sent out a pre-apology email for how badly youre about to break the iPad app. Do you not realize how insane that is? Youre going to remove the ability to view track info? WHAT?! Do you realize that this is a music app?? Do you have any idea what we all use your platform for? Get it together.

This is pathetic. Do you guys even use your own app?
- The "Following" indicator is STILL completely broken on iPad.
- The years-old startup crash bug is STILL an issue - I have to reinstall the app every 2-3 weeks to be able to successfully launch it.
- I cant scroll down any users feed. It shows the first 12 sounds or whatever, but then gets stuck loading the next few sounds FOREVER. [update - this may have been fixed]
- Still no support for playlists, anywhere in the app.
Buy an iPad and USE your own app.
I love SoundCloud, but your iPad app is utter trash. Please get it together.
====================
Where to even start with 3.0 on iPhone...?
The stream is awful. Theres still a "plays" indicator, but the indicators for likes, comments, and reposts are gone. Theres no indication of when the item was uploaded or shared. And due to the ridiculous new art preview, only two items are viewable per scroll/screen. What?
How about this - shut down your garbage app and buy Soundflake. Wow.
