Greedy
This app is now useless to me as so much good music was nuked from my list and no longer plays. Ill buy an mp3 player before i waste money on your premium garbage.

Connection suck.
Every time I seem to even get into CarPlay mode, it automatically connects to my car when I did not even select the app. It just starts playing music. This feature is irritating for iPhone user. I want to be able to select the app when I want to use it that you forcing me to do it. I suggest that you make a on and off switch when it comes to this feature controlling my phone. I tried everything and the only thing that works is me deleting the app and only reinstalling it when I want to use it. Which is a waste of my time and distraction during driving. Please SoundCloud fix this ASAP.
Ads
Been loyal to yall since I was 12. And yall gonna treat me with 3 ads
🥀
I’ve loved SoundCloud for decades now and recently your app hasn’t been working the best and every time I try to log in. It would never let me in and I’ve tried a lot of different methods to try and login and still the same results.
Songs just don’t play
Even after downloading latest app version no song will play it just buffers at the start and I pay subscription. This has happened multiple times last two weeks and lasts for days on mobile. Ridiculous figure it out
Too many ads
Previously, you could use the app almost without ads, but now ads sound after almost every song. It would be much better if you could watch one or two ads every 30 minutes, like Spotify did. Because of this, I had to completely stop using SoundCloud and use YouTube Music.It's very sad that SC has been ruined by paid tracks and ads.
Ads are unstoppable without payment
SoundCloud always used to have ads. But it was okay when it was once in a while but skippable. If you configure that formula to make ads happen frequently and make them unskippable ? Well… why even bother having the app. Testing the frequency of ads compared to YouTube without premium and found out it’s more useful. Can’t imagine how great YouTube premium if I actually paid for it. SoundCloud is officially gone.
Endless downloads
Go subscription is a scam. You can’t select what to download without downloading all your likes but without likes how do you keep track of what you like? Once downloads start they will not stop until all your phones storage is used which impacts other functions.
Simple fixes could make the app so much better but years later it’s the same lazy construction. As a long time user and fan of the app this is disappointing.
In short. Don’t bother with a Go subscription until they make it worth your money.
