*Sneaky microphone permission* Up until recently, I absolutely loved this app! I used it so much. It did an amazing job with obscure music as well! Now after the update, this app is awful. It doesn't find music as easily. I have it listen over and over, & a lot of times I give up. Even more frustrating, is the sneaky microphone usage now. This app never tried to use my mic unless I was identifying music. Now it constantly tries to listen w/ app closed. Creepy & inappropriate.

My Music Map no longer works properly. First time it recognises the song it now shows Discovered in: null, GB. No actual place. After I exit then go back into the song, My Music Map disappears altogether. This was working fine before. Please fix as this feature has become useless now. It used to be good to know where all the tunes were discovered but that all seems to be gone now. Leaves me disappointed as the earlier version just worked and looked great. This new version sucks in comparison.

I've been using soundhound exclusively since 2011. Today I moved to shazam. This is a classic case of the straw that broke the camel's back. There have been far too many minor issues with soundhound lately that I just don't care to stick around anymore. 1. I never knew what the reason was, but every so often it would create a new Spotify playlist. I now have five (I remember consolidating and deleting others too). 2. For the past few months I could not log in with my Spotify credentials. When the bug was finally fixed, yep, it created a new playlist. 3. With this latest update, it would not search for songs. It would just keep listening. I uninstalled/reinstalled, and it does indeed search, but never finds anything no matter how popular. Absolutely useless. Good job, you broke it.
