SoundCloud is relaunching a popular feature – comments from its mobile apps – alongside a new user experience in iOS and Android. It’s a feature that every music service should have, and is missing from Spotify and Apple Music.
Commenting is a core social feature on SoundCloud, with millions of comments already shared each month. The new mobile experience lets creators and fans comment on a track from their phone.
The commenting feature begins rolling out to users today via the latest version of the SoundCloud mobile app, available on iOS and Android.
Fans use the feature to give instant feedback and start a conversation directly with creators and fellow fans. The top comments on the platform are simple words of support like “Nice,” “<3,” and “Dope,” but true fandom is expressed with more colorful comments like:
“i want this melody to marry me” – on Billie Eilish’s Bitches Broken Heart.
“Thank you for the beautifully articulated odyssey” – on Blood Orange’s Do You See Something Through the Flames?
“FACE MELTER!!!” – on Flume’s Heater
