SoundCloud brings back comment capability for mobile users

It’s a great time for SoundCloud users: The comment section has finally made its way back into the mobile app. The streaming platform did away with the feature years ago in order to streamline “optimization” and, ironically, “user experience.”

Now, SoundCloud has announced the relaunch of its commenting capabilities for iOS  and Android users. The reinstated feature boasts easy navigation, the ability to give and receive feedback instantly, and more control and freedom. Users can tap the app’s conversation bubble to leave their own comment or read what others have posted. They can also leave replies to other users’ comments in the same manner.

“Commenting is a core social feature on SoundCloud, with millions of comments shared each month. The new mobile experience lets creators and fans comment at a specific time on a track, right on their phone,” SoundCloud stated in a press release. “So be heard. Hear back. Connect anytime, anywhere – first on SoundCloud.”

The commenting feature begins rolling out to users today, August 7, via the latest version of the SoundCloud mobile app, available on iOS and Android.
