Love you, but there’s one problem. I've been using Pandora for years and I love it. Yeah, they have some bugs, but a lot of apps do. Some of my now favorite bands I found from pandora. I pay $5/month for the premium version and it’s really worth it. My only complaint, which is more of a suggestion or request, I wish I could choose which stations I had offline. I have stations that I’ve listened to so freaking much, that’s how the app decides which stations are available offline, but I don’t want those for offline use. The fact that the more you listen to offline ones, the more hours you accumulate, solidifying their spots on the list. I frequently find myself with little to no data connection, so I really appreciate and rely on the offline mode. I tried deleting those stations and re-loading my offline stations, but alas it did not fix the problem... it honestly just made it worse. I deleted all of my stations that hadn’t been listened to this year and I’m realizing that to get the stations I want offline, I’ll have to delete all of them but the ones I want. So if you could choose the stations to download, that’d be dope and then I’d definitely give you a well-deserved 5 stars 😬

Thumbprint Overrides Selection. When I choose an Artist to listen to, I expect the majority of the music for that channel to be the Artist I selected, not just a few. It seems the more thumbprints your choose, the less of the actual artist you want to listen to actually get played. Recently is seems to be maybe 10-15% of the actual artist/musicians channel that is chosen actually gets their music. The only way I can see to fix the issue is to “Un-THUMBPRINT” the individual channels other artist/musician thumbprints to be able to listen to that channels music. The thumbprints should only be used as a guide for using the thumbprint channel itself, or to fill in an occasional selection. There should be no more than 25% of the thumbprint selections on an an individual / group artist / musicians channel except for thumbprint or various selection channels. Perhaps if people prefer thumbprints over the actual artist /musician selected, a setup panel for individuals to choose how much thumbprint they want to listen to Vs actual artist / musician channel would be appropriate. Very frustrated as a main source of listening and won’t subscribe because they (PANDORA) feels they know better about what I want to listen to than I do.

YassssssLovvee❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🖤🩶🤍🤎. Best app ever I mean at first I was like super annoyed that all these ads were popping up but as soon as I started like listening to the music and like how it gave me these customized options and these super great qualities, and how it let me personalize certain things for free, but it also gave me an opportunity as somebody who is too young to have a bank account to be able to listen to quality music for free and sometimes it also offers me like an hour of uninterrupted listening, and I love that and also it let me create stations and create My Thumbs Up and it lets me watch an ad and do everything so I think it’s an amazing app five star quality definitely five star recommend but one thing that I do think that need some revising is maybe it gives you more skips in the first place and like instead of watching an ad you can like replay you have replays skips like before you don’t have to watch an ad to get them. I although you do need to watch an ad to get any replays so I think they should have replays before so you can like have the replay option and then like then once you run out, you can watch an ad but I do like the quality of like it gives you skips before but it gave me like two skips in. It usually gives me like five so that’s a bummer but other than that five star quality love the app.

I love Pandora!. This is a great app! It is easy to use. It knows about every artist so you can create radio stations based on the most well known or most obscure artists. About 2 of my channels don't seem to really get the artist that the channel is built around but I have about 80 channels & that is the rare exception. This means I have about 78 channels that totally get the artist the channel is built around. I needed help once from Pandora. I emailed them & got a reply almost immediately. I could not ask for more! I gave this 4 stars because twice I have picked up my iPhone to see what song was playing and the way I picked up the phone gave it the thumbs down. The song stopped immediately. The first time I never heard that artist again. And he is one of my favorites! The second time just happened so I don’t know if that will happen again. My phone was plugged in so the display was always up. I tried to scroll back and give the song the thumbs up, but I still never heard the first artist again. I am so sad. I wish you had to confirm the thumbs down. Then this would not have happened.

Great music bad communication. I paid to use Pandora for years before there were all of the music apps around. Although when I realized to renew my monthly membership it was going to cost more then 2x’s what I had been paying. So I thought no, I don’t listen enough to pay 12 dollars a month for music. Any who so I cancelled my subscription for Pandora but still for over a year Apple took $4.99 a month out for Pandora. So unbeknownst to me, I continued to listen to “free Pandora” a few times during this period and looking back it was no different (still adds and only so many skips). So when I finally realized it was never cancelled I contacted Pandora again to cancel and had difficulty communicating with the customer service (that was annoying) it was eventually taken off my bill but not before being charged a few more times. I was so over it, just like wow, they charged me for a few years worth of subscriptions but I’ll never have any one address it. I still listen to my old playlist for reference as to why I’m even on here. Sorry for the rant but do look closely at your Apple bill.

App needs so much work. The service itself is great. All of my complaints are with the app and not Pandora itself. 1. App seems to get shut down in the background after only a few minutes if it’s not playing music. Even if you’re not doing anything else with your phone. So when you open it back up, everything needs to reload and whatever song you were listening to is gone. 2. CarPlay issues. OMG, where to begin? CarPlay with Pandora is a disaster. Keeps going from Now Playing back to the Stations screen. Stations don’t load (blank screen) sometimes, forcing you to use your phone to get started. If you change stations or skip songs, sometimes the Now Playing screen will still show the previous song for a good 10 seconds or more, during which time onscreen controls like Pause will not work. 3. Offline songs are noticeably louder than if they’re streamed. Offline mode also seems hesitant to switch back online despite a strong and solid network connection. 4. Ever since Offline mode was introduced, the streaming cache has been severely reduced. It used to cache 3-4 songs. Now it doesn’t seem to cache the next song until the current one is half way done. If you’re in a spotty area and you skip the current song, you’re out of luck. I would happily trade Offline mode to get back a bigger streaming cache.

My Written Review. I’m in the San Diego area. I like Pandora, and while I don’t mind listening to commercials, it appears Pandora is a “woke”, “Leftist” organization, from the tones and voices and messages from of the advertisements. I would pay for Pandora if they offered a one time annual fee instead of having access to tap into my bank account every month for a monthly fee in a subscription. This whole world and subscriptions has gone greed! So that’s why I listen to free only at this point where I have to listen to commercials. Getting back to commercials, you have a commercial for the San Diego registrar of voters, to where they’re encouraging people to cast their votes for the midterms right now via mail. I don’t believe in that, especially with the corruption that’s going on with the voter count and election fraud corruption that has been PROVEN by the courts! I suggest that you don’t take the big bucks from these seeming corrupt organizations that want to advertise for more possible voter fraud, just so Pandora can make money on their advertisements! Thank you!

It’s everything I need. Listen, I’m a very simple person. I love music, and all I need is a place for me to listen to it. Pandora is it for me. It’s simple to use. And I’ve been using Pandora for over 10 years now. I have never had any problems with the app. No glitches, no horrible updates. I have all my stations and I can create a new one anytime I choose to. I pay 4.99 a month for unlimited skips and no ads. It’s all I need, I don't need anything more fancy than that. What’s also nice, is that it gives you a free option for premium for about 20-30 minutes and all you have to do is watch a 30 second ad. So you can also use that option if you choose to. I get new music put out and all my liked classics. It’s just an awesome app. Grateful to have it. The ONLY thing I would change about this app, is that it doesn’t let multiple people listen from one account at a time. But, that’s no biggie. Otherwise, the quality is top notch and I’ll always recommend Pandora to anyone looking for a place to stream music.

Great for Finding “New” Songs. I have always loved music from many decades going back to the 50’s and even newly created songs that have a modern twist on certain vibes- such as a 20’s flare or an old timey sound, or a lounge/jazz sound, etc. my problem is I have NEVER learned the Artists and Titles. I know many of the names of Artists, but can’t pinpoint which one sang which song, and certainly either never knew the title or just can’t remember. That’s because I never was allowed to buy cassettes or CDs growing up- we just had radio and I change channels as soon as DJ starts talking. Now the new cars have a screen that shows the Artist and Title when driving. Point is- I love that I can search a “station” for an artist I know on Pandora and the app finds more with the same style. Like 10years ago I went on a cruise and came home searching for beachy vacation or Hawaiian vibe music, and of course Halloween and Christmas music for parties. I love being able to click and see the LYRICS also- especially if I can’t figure out a word or phrase they are singing. I would LOVE to see an additional feature- the DATE the Titles were released- to show on Lock Screen under Title & Artist. I think it would be a very easy addition that does not take up much room to display. I wish radio name would do the same for the vehicle display screens that already show Title & Artist when driving.

Dave Kent. I like the app but everything there is an ad it prevents me from listening to my favorite song and when I black out my screen it freezes then it kicks off the app and when I try to skip a song that’s not even a song I skip and it doesn’t skip when I need to skip it and then I buffer to the radio songs and I have to watch an ad to play a non radio song can you fix that issue please and thank you also the ad makes the app mess up a-lot now then the first time I had it now I just mad because I have to watch an ad that takes up all my time watching and when i want to listen to so music it ask me to pay for the music and I’m confused because the music/songs I play keeps popping up saying do you want to pay for premium music or content of this song and when I try to skip it it will automatically show up again each time i open the app then when I listen to the song it freezes the song and I restart it and it refuses to work and so I close the app and reopen it and it doesn’t show up all my playlist of music and it tells me to find the right music for me and which it resets my playlist and the only thing I see on my playlist is nothing then when I get on the playlist again it’s there so fix the bugs and glitch and remove the ad because it’s messing up my music each time I try to play something

Why I love Pandora.. Omg, Pandora is simply the BEST!! It’s a place where you can find all of you favorite songs for free! I LOVE MUSIC! And if you love music as much as I do, then your going to LOVE Pandora. I love it so much that I listen to it in bed! 😂 But... the only thing I wish was different about Pandora, is that I really wish there were more songs that have a clean version. Sometimes, when I start listening to a song, I search for a clean version of it just in case. Let’s say I wanted to listen to “On My Way” By Alan Walker & Sabrina Carpenter, then I would normally search for a clean version of that song. But sometimes, I click the normal version of it because I would think it didn’t have bad words in it due to the fact that it didn’t have a clean version. But then... I get startled by the cuss words. And then, just because of that, I tend to dislike the song. So whenever I hear that song on a different station, I will most likely 👎🏼 the song. I love you Pandora, but please please work on those clean versions!! I really enjoy your music, I can’t wait to see what you do next! To: Pandora From: Me ❤️

Downloaded songs not really accessible. I like pandora but recently when I select shuffle my thumbs up it repeats the same several songs (songs I have given the thumbs up) along with new songs in the same vein. The new stuff is ok but why keep repeating the one or two songs over and over from my list of 302 songs. My other issue is I live in an area where reception comes and goes between my commute to and from work...so I downloaded quite a few songs. I wish I could select offline mode but I can’t. So I will be rocking out and when the song comes to an end I have sudden total silence while it connects “buffers” for the next 10 minutes. Instead of just going into off line mode and playing my downloads. So my question are they truly downloaded? Why else would the app keep searching “buffering”. If you live in a non rural area I am sure you don’t even notice but us Northern California coastal towns do! I end up switching to google play. As I want to rock out before I have a hectic day working at the local hospital or going home to take care of my three awesome teenagers and hubby!

I want an improved music service. This is Pandora’s last week to prove that it’s the music service for me. I drive a lot between major cities and service drops all the time. Even when i have good service the app locks up and makes me reboot. Lastly, it’s not clear what or how im paying for plus. I guit once because of the ridiculous monthly tap when all i wanted to do was pay for a year and forget about the hassle of remembering to deduct monthly payments. Now, i cant see (on the app) how I’m paying, again. Ill logon to the website and find out if I’ll just quit then and there. Apple music had been sending little treats and Pandora hasn’t been concerned enough to make the app work through my iphone ( so far) and without a pretty rapid service improvement ( i just updated the app) and a means to see how I’m paying for plus from my very secure phone, i will quit and move on. I have to add one more, i was engaged many years ago by a stellar customer service representative. She was so helpful that i nearly stayed on, in spite of the required monthly payments option at the time. When Pandora finally adopted the annual payment option again, I don’t return. But now service is suffering. Please make this right. Thank you very much for reading my novella! 😁

It’s okay. I’m a big music listener, and I always have been. I used to have Apple Music but my family couldn’t afford it anymore so I had to try pandora. It’s great until you eventually get to a point to where you can’t listen to the playlist you created anymore. Then you are stuck with stations. I am picky and not picky when it comes to music; I really don’t like a lot of music in stations, the music I put in my playlist is something that I enjoy listening to. I’m also struggling with things at home so music is a big coping mechanism for me and when I can’t play my playlist it just goes downhill from there. It is a cool app and all that so I’m giving the creators the benefit of the doubt to give them 3 stars because they have to make money on their app somehow, I just wish y'all wouldn’t take away my playlist that I hold so dear to my heart. If I created an app I would make all of it free because I know how important music is to many people especially those struggling, idc if I don’t make any money I just like knowing I’m making a difference. I’m bad at coding though so I can’t, but it’s just a thought. Thank you for your time and if you read this far I hope you have a wonderful day. 🫶

The best $4.99 I spend each month!. The Pandora is fantastic. No I have nothing to compare it to because why look anywhere else when you have it all right here. First, I love all kinds of music and you can find what you like. Feel Free to explore new artists you would never have time to hear. Secondly , if I really want to know the (exact) lyric, and you get to see 👀 the words neatly typed….. I’m know, right! Third, how many times have you tried to “back that up please” or… Ha Ha move the needle or rewind audio tape!!!!!!! ( sadly no rewind capability on my dads 8 track player….but it may not have been a top of the line model either? Last, but nothing t least by far. I am not tech savvy at all and the Pandora I can do. The updates almost always improve the Application, from my perspective. A little abut my own experience with Pandora ALL of my grandparents and my parents and brother all of us play piano so we”love” music is not even close. The best part is if you don’t care what the lyrics are and just want to quickly access an artist or song or album you can do that too! Good Luck and Enjoy!

Is this just me?. I’ve had pandora for about 6 years installed on my phone. I love the short sessions you can have for free by just watching an ad (which I only discovered 3 years ago fsr) and they usually last about 30 minutes. But there have been some glitches I have been encountering. So let’s say I pick a song and start a session, then I realize that I have to do something else so I pause a song. About 1-2 hours later when I come back it would be done, which is *supposed to happen* but it doesn’t. So I turn a song on thinking it’s not a big deal, and the song won’t play. None of the songs will! I turn on the radio stations though and it works fine (though a bit slower). Oh, but when I try to replay a song on that station, which usually works, isn’t, so I have to be more careful as not to make a mistake of skipping anything. But sometimes, or sorry, ehem, MOST of the time, it will be hours later AND it still won’t END. Like please, I just want this glitchy session to end so I can start another one so I can actually listen to the songs in my playlists! The only solution to the problem for me is to sin out of my account, and then re-log in. It’s so much work though to go all the way to the settings, sign out, wait like 5 minutes (yes it takes a very long time) and then finally log back in, and then think of a song to search up in the search bar. Like, this isn’t supposed to happen. It’s so repetitive. Please fix this.

Rather lacking.... I do love Pandora, and I use this app all the time, but certain features never work on my phone; for example, the friend search, and Facebook linking. I tried those on my husband’s Samsung phone, and they work, but not on my iPhone for some reason. Deleting and reinstalling doesn’t help. I also think it’s rather lacking in features. There are some things that I would love to see in this app, and this is just my opinion of course, but I think Pandora should expand the social aspect of their service. The current friend feature is kind of pointless. I always thought it would be cool to be able to have more interactive features with friends’ profiles, like commenting, sharing, liking, etc. Having the option to display what you’re listening to at the moment, either publicly or just with friends, would be nice; I know there used to be a similar feature but it’s gone now, and it only showed the last station listened to, not real-time listening. (Of course this should be optional. Everything should be optional.) Another thing I would like to see would be some kind of listening statistics, more than just the vague ranking of what you’ve been listening to most recently.

Done with this app. This app seems to have a new unfixable bug where when I connect to my car (wired or Bluetoot) the skip doesn’t work. I press once on my wheel to skip, and pandora app skips 1-3 songs, effectively using all my free skips. Wrote to help desk telling them I tried resetting, reinstalling, updating the app, and restarting my phone. And what do they say? They completely ignore what I wrote and tell me to do exactly what I just said I did. It’s like they didn’t even read what I wrote. They literally advised me to do everything I said I did. Now, with all the overwhelming amount of ads, it’s impossible to navigate the app without accidentally clicking into the upgrade button. And I accidentally bought the upgrade because the ads are so well timed. It shows one ad and you go to hit close ad or whatever it is, and immediately the pandora upgrade ad appears with the purchase button in exactly the place as the close ad button so you hit the purchase botton. I apparently hit tbat thinking I hit the close ad button and then I went to open my phone with my finger print not realizing it and bought the premium. Immediately cancels my subscription but the damage was done. I will be deleting this app after the month is over. Really disgusting how you trick your customers.

Premium Subscriber for Years!!. Pandora, do you just not care anymore?? I used to be able to open your app and listen to whatever.. everything went sooo smoothly.. now I am lucky to get your app open and playing on the first try.. it constantly crashes, annoyingly pauses for notifications .. and will not play some selections and idk why but it keeps going back to the first episode of any podcasts I listen to.. it used to work just fine.. I could pick right up where I left off.. but not anymore.. now I have to wait and wait and wait for it to begin and then guess which episode I left off with.. and don’t switch programs too often because it just freezes up.. ya know I stayed with Pandora even when everybody else was jumping ship and for what?!? Everybody said get rid of Pandora and here I am paying for a Premium Service and receiving GARBAGE!! What makes me extremely angry is reading the reviews of all your other customers. We are all having the same issues and are fed up Pandora!! On top of everything else .. the audacity of you to make it impossible to talk to customer service in unbelievable!! I should be able to tell you what is actually wrong not have to pick from a list of choices and try to pick what is closest to the problem and hopefully getting it resolved.. I am done!!

Pandora Plus...has its flaws.. First of all, with Plus you’re supposed to have the ability to listen to a few offline stations. In theory, it’s supposed to switch to offline mode automatically when you lose cell service or internet access...rarely ever does this happen automatically. Also, of the 4 available offline stations, usually only 1 works. At least a third of the time it will say all stations are unavailable and will play nothing. My second complaint is something that annoys me so much, I’ve been looking into other music services. Even though I pay for ad free and already have Pandora Plus, ads for Pandora Plus pop up constantly! Initially premium ads were coming up, and that’s annoying enough, but then to keep pushing Plus on me when I ALREADY HAVE IT is just too much for me. UPDATE... 2 years later still having the same issue with the switching between offline and online modes. Always messing up or making me do it manually (which is a massive pain due to an update a while back.) makes it very difficult to access this option while driving. Also still says stations are “unavailable” when offline even though I’ve downloaded them. Ugh.

Not a good algorhythm. The problems I have with Pandora are that I type in a group or a song name I want to hear and maybe I’ll hear one song by that group and then many, many songs by all types of other bands, many of which I give a “thumbs down” but they still cycle around. Sometimes I’ll dislike a group and then Pandora will send 2 or 3 more songs by that group, when I HATE that group, but no songs of the group I want to hear. Another point is that when you give a “thumbs up” to various songs, Pandora will just repeat those songs first, when turning on that station, and no other songs by the group you WANTED to hear. Like that group made no other songs, ever! But It’ll give you 3 songs in a row by some group you hate. Also, Pandora will, after cycling through the liked songs, play an endless list of songs you never heard of and don’t like and not a single song you want again. Don’t even get me started on a finite number of skips. Yes, I use the free version of Pandora, but truthfully why am I going to pay to hear tons of other crap? Sometimes the music you disliked bleeds over to other unrelated stations. Why would I pay?! I will not give you my money, Pandora.

Pandora is the best!!. My brother told me about your music App years ago and I signed up for it first on my computer and then on my iPhone! My husband had Sirius in his car and actually paid to use it! It was absolutely the worst music no matter which station we listened too. Half of the songs they played must be from the “B-side” of records from singing artists we chose! It was dreadful, especially because we could not give a thumbs down on any song they played so we never had to hear the songs again! It was a total ripoff! We cancelled our subscription for Sirius and will NEVER waste our money on them again! Now we use Pandora exclusively because you play all our favorite songs - plus, we get to choose the songs we love with a thumbs-up, so we hear them played often! AND, if there’s a song we’re not particularly fond of, we give it a thumbs-down and never hear it again! It’s a total win-WIN for us! Plus, Pandora is FREE! The few commercials we need to listen to are never annoying and long. I couldn’t be more pleased and use your station almost every time I drive my car! Thank you for providing such a wonderful music experience! I hope you never change your station!!

Premium is AWESOME!!. I’ve listened to pandora for years, pretty much since it started (I think). Just recently I decided to upgrade to the premium version and I have absolutely no regrets. It is well worth the monthly subscription rate. The love to listen to a variety of music, from old (Led Zeppelin) and other music from that era to music from the ‘90’s, 2000’s to today. I have a variety of stations setup that I have listened to; however, currently, for the past several weeks, I’ve been on the Goo-Goo Dolls station and not only am I hearing music from ‘90’s and 2000s that I recognize and absolutely loved back then but totally forgot about; but I’m also hearing “new” (old) music from these same bands that I really like as well. What I really like about pandora is that they provide the lyrics to the song, as well as a write-up about the band. Those are my two favorites things to do when I hear a new (or old) song that I love, especially when I have been singing the song wrong all these years thinking I know/knew what the lyrics were only to find out differently.

10/10 but need some upgrades/fixing stuff. So, to start off, I love this app I listen to music on here all the time!! And I love it, I think you guys should add a few more songs (like maybe murder in my mind) But here are some real issues, Whenever 30 days go by it won’t let me listen to music and I have to wait 2 days to able to listen to music again!! It won’t let me listen to music because of your advertising, what if I don’t want premium? I don’t and it’s getting in my nerves so at least just put a tiny tab somewhere just in case someone else wants premium but still wants to listen to their music. Next off is the glitch, the glitch is when I exit out of the app for a little and go back in MY MUSIC WONT PLAY? and It’s not on It’s 30 minute timer, I’ll have to wait HOURS for it to work! Thankfully I found a hack to make it stop doing that AND PLEASE DONT FIX THE GLITCH IF YOUR NOT GOING TO FIX THE OTHER THING!! The glitch is when you exit out of the app don’t close it completely and when your about to leave, put the current song you were listening to at the very beginning and pause it, ifs it been like 10 minutes and not the 30 minute count, go on the app and unpause the song and listen to it for 13 seconds or the entire song if you would like, and then you can play anything you’d like! okay so, those were my only 2 things other then that I love the app! Thank you so much for taking the time to read mine and have a great day Byee!!

Sp0tify is so much better. I have been a Pandora guy for 10+ years up until this last week. I am just sick of Pandora constantly glitching or doing something that is beyond frustrating. Constantly blacking out songs randomly, songs only available for radio playback, app constantly glitches. For example, press play on a song and then lock phone and it says the song is playing but you don’t hear any music, unlock phone again open Pandora and have to press play again. This is so annoying and frustrating especially when driving. My last straw was when I realized you can’t even sort playlists by artist, song, or alphabetical. Also constantly get a glitch where it doesn’t let me add songs to playlists. I mean seriously? It’s 2022 and I’m paying $15 a month yet you give us the absolute bare minimum. I’m not sure why it took so long to switch but if you are considering it please do. Sp0tify is just so much more user friendly, way less glitching, seems to have a bigger library, they have scrolling lyrics for most songs, can sort playlist, and one of my favorites is their ability to recommend music. I have found 5 new bands that are so awesome because of Sp0tify that I would have never found on Pandora. Good riddance I hope everyone else switches too.

I enjoy Pandora. I signed up to get rid of the ads. I like only having the music. I like having my multiple song stations with different music styles. They work reasonably well. Sometimes my “liked” (thumbs up) songs play in other stations with somewhat similar music. If I want the “liked” song in the other station, then I either let it play or “like” it. If I do not think that it is appropriate for this other station, then I “unlike” (thumb down). This is not hard to manage. Having the Pandora system add songs to my stations results in having a wider range of songs in my long list of stations. Sometimes the Pandora system adds new songs that I had never known and they are nice, so I “like” them. Sometimes the system adds songs that are in my station’s category, but I still don’t like that band or artist, so I “unlike” the songs. This is easy. My long list of stations from rock and roll to instrumental to Christian artists is a pleasing list. I listen to one or more Pandora stations every day. I like that a station is not an artist’s album that would play the same songs in the same order each time. I like the variable and random order of the songs.

Can’t get it right AGAIN!!!. Once’s again you mess up the app. Now I can’t get it to work. When I turn it on the app then when I closed the screen to let it play in back ground. It turns off the music. Then when I try to put it back on it freezes. I have to turn off the app then turn it back on. This happens every time. Now that I paid for this service it not working. This happen 1 day after the last fix. Plus you can’t see whats playing in the lock screen. Just shows the pandora app is on. GREAT JOBS!!! (Not) (Next day) After I putting a bad review. The sent me a way to fix the problem the very next day. All I can say it now work and I’m happy again with pandora. This time it was a great job!! Just give them a problem and they will fix it. I might have been a little mad about the review. But at the time it was bad day and I wanted was to listen to music it chill with, and it didn’t want to work. I glad that the people at pandora really care about the people who uses their app. Just give a change and see what they can do for you. *****. 5 five rating.

Omg so annoying. Top 10 reason you need to fix pandora. (1) you need to not have just 3 or 4 skips to the music. (2) Listen closely, my music will not work half of the time and pandora will not let me play any music unless I reboot my phone and delete pandora and get it again.

Needs some technical improvement. I would say this app is okay for a free music streaming app but there are technical issues that need improvement. First, the ads play during songs. A new song—usually a good one I would like to listen to—will begin playing the same time as an ad and when the ad is over the song will kind of skip a beat then continue playing. When this happens, the screen stays on the ad break screen for a while so I can’t skip the song until maybe half way through. Additionally, I turned on the Siri function and use the correct command phrase but Siri will say, “ok playing ____ station on pandora” then stop and say “sorry, you’ll need to continue with pandora” and I have to pick my phone up, unlock it, go to the pandora app and click that stupid “continue” button. With everything so accessible and hands free via Siri and Alexa, this seems unnecessary and should be done away with. As far as music, I usually listen to 2 particular stations: Tammy Rivera radio because Apple Music doesn’t have a station based for her and also R&B music station because I generally like the songs Pandora plays over Apple Music’s version of this station. Overall good music but technical improvement needed.

It could be better. I have the premium subscription and overall I’m pleased with the easy to use platform, music selection and the quality of sound. However I do agree with other users that I wish Pandora would give users (especially those that pay for premium) the ability to edit/sort your stations and playlists on your home page. Yes you can filter for your stations or downloaded playlists but I’m pretty particular and I like things to be alphabetical... or the order in which my brain thinks is most logical. But the thing that bothers me THE MOST is the fact that when you pause a song, and lock your phone and walk away for a moment or pause to have a conversation with a coworker and you go back to the app, it acts like you just opened the app and the song you were listening to you, at your favorite part, starts over. What’s with that?! I understand that music apps may be different but the free game apps I have don’t wipe out my progress if I pause the game and “minimize” the app.... why can’t the app I pay monthly for do the same?!?

Needs work. I was just listening to music, and I had explicit turned off and blocked, so music like that shouldn’t play, or they should at least have the swearing blocked. But I was just listening and one of the songs dropped the f bomb twice! This is unacceptable! I don’t swear and purposely turned that off! The app always stops playing at random times as well. I’ll hve turned it on, it will play two or three songs, but then it will suddenly stop playing, and there is nothing I can do but wait an hour or more before it plays anything, and then the exact same thing happens. It happens on my radio stations, and my playlists, and it’s really, really annoying. Overall, the app is great. There are most of the songs I want to listen to all there for when I want them, but there are still things that I wish I could change. I’m not sure if it’s just my device, or something going on with the app, but other than those two things I have no problem and would totally recommend pandora.

Love the music, but please target your ads better.. I listen to the free version of Pandora very frequently, and am so grateful for the resource. I’m a stay-at-home mom to four little kids. They also love listening to Pandora. I have only one problem: sometimes the ads aren’t quite targeted at the right audience. Currently, I have been bombarded with the terrible ad for the paid version of Pandora which has sexy music and is describing how excited someone is in the moments leading up to a first kiss, interrupted by a commercial for hemorrhoid cream. This ad is neither appropriate for my children, nor entertaining to me. I understand that Pandora’s marketers are doing a great job by making me wish I could just pay to make the ad go away, but I do not appreciate the sense that I am being forced, rather than invited, to either pay or stop listening. Please stop using the suggestion of sultry kissing, of sex, and of hemorrhoids for humor or shock (which falls in the category of “potty talk” in this house) in your ads on non-explicit stations. It is off-putting and inappropriate for general audiences. Previous instances of inappropriate ads included ads featuring loud club music breaking in to the classical music we had on as a background to art time with the kids. No thanks.

Love this app so much I can’t explain it!. I love listening to music, it is like a passion of mine. It is like a gift to me. I really like apps that I don’t have to pay for, and this one I don’t have too. The music is great sound quality on my phone without a speaker. It sounds even better with a speaker! The free version is super good! All you have to do to listen to ANY music is watch a 15 second ad which I don’t mind at all. I also like that you can play a specific song on the app. With many other apps that have a free version you can’t listen to a specific song it will just bring you to a station with songs like that song. With Pandora you can look up a song and play that song. You don’t have to go to a station like that song. I also like that I can make my own playlists. I have about ten current playlists which is amazing! I also like that they have the lyrics to the song. There are a few features missing. I wish that the lyrics would play by itself and not me having to scroll to get the lyrics. There are a couple other things that could be improved but no many! I bet the payed version is even better! Love this app so much!

Nothing compared to Apple Music. There are a lot of adds on Pandora and after paying the smaller subscription (something like $5 a month), I found that I was still limited in what I could do. I was not able to make or edit playlists nearly as well as Apple Music if at all (I never figured it out), the amount of likes and dislikes was also limited. There came several times when I noticed an apparent glitch in the system as well. There was a type of song that continued to play on a certain violin station (Daniel D) that sounded almost like a metronome. I pushed dislike. But then, as if I actually pushed “like”, it played another similar song. Before I knew it, I was listening to nothing but that type of music and patiently disliking every last one. Then I ran out of dislikes. I have noticed that a lot of stations are seemingly preset mostly by popular trends. My likes and dislikes don’t have as strong an influence as they should. Basses on these disappointments, I decided to find somewhere else to get my music. I got Apple Music unlimited for $4.99 on school discount. I have unlimited access to anything - unlimited skips, easily editing of playlists, unlimited likes and dislikes, recommended albums to add to playlists, I can skip to the middle of any song. Pandora served its purpose, but Apple Music, while compared side by side with pandora, is much better.

Has something changed with the Pandora app???. Ive had Pandora for several years now, it is the free version. I have not been able to listen to my Pandora for over a week now. When I click into one of my stations, it doesn’t play. I can’t even click play, rewind, or fast forward. The icons are there but not highlighted. I have logged in and out. I’ve turned on/off my phone and I’ve even deleted and reinstalled the app. I’ve done this multiple times and still nothing. When I exit out of the station to browse for other options, it says buffering...your station will be right back. I logged out of my account and had my son log into his account on my phone and his account works on my phone. I contacted the help support explaining all of this, and they sent me the troubleshooting information from their website after I explained I’ve already done all of the troubleshooting. The email they sent me said, if I was still having trouble, to respond to their email, which I did , and I still have not heard anything back. Horrible, horrible customer support.

Great but…. I love Pandora and it’s a great music app but if I create a playlist of my own and I play it, the app will cut it off and go to the most recent radio I was listening to. In top of that there are always random ads when I listen to music and when I run out of skips it’ll make me watch a 30 second video and it only gives me a few of skips. Another problem I come by in Pandora is when I listen to music one day and the next day I can’t play my playlists or any of the songs that I search for because I would have to upgrade to listen to them and then a couple days later it goes away and let’s me listen to them again and it keeps repeating itself in a cycle. If you would like to stretch your music style and journey further Pandora is a great source for this but be aware that these problems do come along the way and sooner than you think. I do hope these problems get fixed so it can make a bunch of more people satisfied and happy with the app. Of course there are much more problems that come across different people that I have not heard or seen as far as I’ve been on Pandora. I would recommend Pandora for people who love music, but just prepare yourself for the problems that will arise when you get it. They will happen sooner than you think so do think of what will be coming to you when you get the app.

Love pandora of any version .. I must say I have come to love using pandora of all versions , online or off. It is amazing to use online , that the best way for sure but having the option for listening option offline is great and not very common or easy as pandora makes it. Most app like pandora makes offline so completely impossible to use if suddenly you have no internet , like missing paying you phone bill or just out of service. I have found pandora to be the only way I can listen offline without previously downloading every song in my playlist . Pandora is not like that and I so appreciate that cause i loos my internet quiet often and need my music like a kid needs her baby blanket or bottle for comfort and curb anxiety thst I very much have. Lol any I just love pandora. The only thing I would change is the skips and replays on the different paid versions it need to at least have the option on the lowest pandora versions cause broke people need to repeating their favs too even more so I think then others . Anyways just a thought thanks .

Best for New Music Discovery. I’ve tried nearly every music streaming platform under the sun (an exaggeration but certainly at least the major players) and I honestly think each music streaming platform app is specialized to provide a specific user goal. Pandora, in my experience, does a really great job finding new music from a range of genres that match the “vibe” of a radio station’s initial sound. Sometimes it’s not about the genre of music for me - it’s something about the sound of the song and the vibe of the music that captures my imagination and makes me want more - for example Linkin Park’s early albums. I use Pandora specifically for finding music of all different genres and styles that capture the spirit of the sound of those Linkin Park songs and I must give Pandora 5 stars because the app has been instrumental in my discovery of a large number of new music and artists that I love and haven’t found before. (Dounia, Tommy Genesis, to name a few) anyway there’s no one perfect solution for every single person since we all have our own individual goals and needs - that being said if you’re thirsting for something new, something innovative, or even something familiar but different from what you know I personally recommend using Pandora whether or not you buy the ad free plan or not. Even the free version does a great job of accomplishing the goal of bringing together similar music from all over the musical universe.

Great app but.... This is an excellent app. I absolutely love it and I use it all the time. It allows free music, music curated for you, and make your own playlists. The reason, though, that I gave it three stars is because of ads. I get it. If I skip the songs like ten times, yeah I should get an ad. But sometimes the ads are quite long. And, on top of that, after the ad ends I only get two skips. Also, it randomly plays ads in the middle of songs. I will be listening to something then all of a sudden I will hear “We have great deals at target”. Usually these ads will last about thirty seconds and then when the ad is over, it skips the song you were listening to. One more complaint. If you make a playlist with 10+ songs, you will not be able to listen to all of them in one sitting. After listening to about 5-7 songs on your playlist, it will cut and send you to a random station. It’s annoying because sometimes I just wanna listen to MY songs. The ones that I picked out. This really gets on my nerves because when I’m in my feels, and I’m listening to my “sad song” playlist, it will cut randomly to a pop hits or a hip hop station. Once again. Super frustrating. I basically stopped making/listening to my playlist because I can only listen to a few songs in one sitting. Please fix these minor problems, but other than that...great app.

Amazing, but could change a bit.. I love the app, it has a lot of music I could play. But some Times it just turns off when listening to music. also some of the songs on the radio can only be played on that station or that radio specifically. I wish it can be where we can like this song on the playlist and it not say we’re not able to play it because it’s only on radio but have it where were able to play it infinite amount of time. Also sometimes when you go to play your music it will not play at all, it will just have the screen on the station or radio you want to listen to and it will have a song but it will not either play or just say it’s buffering (loading). other than that this app is an amazing app and you should really get it. It also has a thing where you pay so much amount of money, It’s not a lot but I forgot how much it is, we were able to listen to whatever music we want at that moment at that time. So basically if I don’t wanna listen to one song and it won’t let it play it on the radio I can go over type in the song and search it up and play it.

It’s Business.. So, at first I thought: I my gosh! It’s so cool! Then, it played an ad every time you open the app and try to play a song. 😕 I thought, meh, whatever. Then I would shut my phone off, and check in a couple minutes later, because it was playing a song NOT in my station again. It made me watch another add. 🙄 I still thought: it’s fine. But it’s getting annoying. Some people are under age and still live with parents or can’t or don’t wanna pay for a premium. I understand that you have to earn money somehow… and I don’t have a solution. Sorry. But we’re supposed to right a review… so yeah. I like it over all ‘cause I get to play music on a customized station for free… but the adds, and maybe you could put a button that makes it so that it doesn’t play stuff not on your custom station when ur on it. Other than that I like it. 👍🏼So thanks for making it! 🤗 -A reviewer Also, now I’m mostly fine with the adds cause it only wants you to play an add once to play your song, but when it asks me to play an add the buttons are way to close together and I either have to press it multiple times or it just doesn’t work because it thinks I pressed no I don’t wanna play an add… so if you could make the buttons just a little farther apart that would be nice.

Organization. Hi. First if all, I would like to thank you for reading this request. Now I will get on with it. I really like Pandora, but I think that you should make it more organized. I think that the favorites should be on the top of all of the stations. I also think that to make it more attractive, the blue bar at the bottom of the screen should be either white, black, or non-existent. It’s just not attractive, and all of my friends and family agree. I’m sorry if you feel as if I am taking over your business, but that is just the way that the people want it. Only the album covers should be full with color. Everything else, I feel, should be black and white and grey. More modern = more attractive. Sorry, but it’s just what it is. My friends and I would also like if everytime we opened the app, music would not automatically start playing. I hope that you can find the time to make the changes in the next two weeks, or I will definitely be compelled to delete the app. I really do think that this app is a very good app and would like to give you props for making it. But the main point of this review is to tell you that the visual appearance of this app is just not attractive. Thank you for reading. Goodbye.

Treasure trove. Pandora has been a huge contributor to my electronic music collection. Since I’m pushing age 60, it’s very difficult to me to be a participant in the leading edge of any technology. When I was new to Apple Music,I created a Pandora channel for my favorite musician, Elvis Costello. The song is that played and the artists chosen what a great reminders of my younger days and college days, andWhen a new artist I would show up, like madness or the specials, I could quickly switch to Apple Music and download a playlist of the essentials for that artist, which very quickly helped build my electronic music collection, As well as build other electronic or organicPlaylists on my phone. At this year’s New Year’s party, My “New Year’s funky eve“ playlist killed for three straight hours until the ball dropped. It’s a great way to expand your musical knowledge and collectA whole lot of songs you like. I find myself playing a recently downloaded album each night to put myself to sleep. I do not recommend anyone use the clashes combat rock

Discovery. Pandora has always been really good for me as far as discovery goes. The one thing stopping me from going to the paid version is that the app works poorly with my iPhone. You skip a song, it plays an ad, it rebuffers, then it freezes and you have to close it and reopen it. It then plays the same song you just skipped causing you to use another skip on the same song. Maybe that’s just the ad version but it’s making me question if the regular version will be any better as far as loading and freezing. My iPhone also just doesn’t recognize the app as being open sometimes and when music is playing, the Lock Screen will show nothing so I can’t skip or pause or anything and my car or whatever Bluetooth device I have connected will not have any control over the music. If I’m driving or working on anything, I would have to put everything down to close and reopen the app again and possibly be stuck in the same situation. Other than that, I don’t know if it’s due to what I have chosen recently but I will have songs that I have liked and I will not hear it for months even without clicking “I’m tired of this song” but I’ll come across a song that plays 2-3 times in a few hours or even the next day, it’ll still come on instead of others

No radio zone.. I put off moving from Fl to the backwoods of western North Carolina mostly because there was only talk radio and two country stations (I don’t like country at all) but as fait has it, I moved up here anyway in ‘07 & lived in misery until my first smart phone & finding the Pandora app in around ‘14 & found again what living was again. Than in mid 2017 I was working at a house in the middle of nowhere for weeks on end. I got no service out there & the free Pandora didn’t work out of coarse too. At this point I decided to brake down & get Pandora premium for off line playlist. I have had Pandora premium since that time and have never looked back. I love it, it is my personal radio station. Like I own my own station & can play whatever the hell I want. A few things pop up (can’t play due to licensing) but it’s rare enough & it usually doesn’t last long. Dollar for $ it is the best app I have for sure. I literally have it on 12 plus hours a day. From Hannibal Burris to Bradley’s Postmodern jukebox & 99.9% of anything in between.

Political Adds....why needed on Pandora?. I really like Pandora. I would give you a 5 Star but I cannot at this time. I like getting PRODUCTS that are FOR SALE advertisement as I like to hear/see/buy what’s new. However I listen to Pandora because I want an escape from Politics and negativity! There is not an option to opt out or report as not appropriate for Political adds? Why do you (Pandora )force this? You allow opt outs for other things as I understand. Will you please update and allow for option of NOT hear political crap or not even accept political ads! They are not selling anything other than giving out negativity for free. This only creates a negative and toxic environment in my personal space that has Pandora playing your favorite music in the background! Pandora losses front stage when this happens. I want a positive and relaxing environment with my favorite music playing in the background and buying/looking/ listening to Product advertisers selling products to make a living for those that need a job to put food on their table for their families!!!

doesn’t play through my car’s app via Bluetooth. The phone app doesn’t play through my ‘16 Subaru Impreza’s stereo app. It plays through the stereo’s generic Bluetooth channel but a lot of functionality is lost. Lost functions: Change to another station on the stereo Ability to bookmark a song via the stereo Mark a song with thumbs up our thumbs down via the stereo Bring up a list of available stations via the stereo Add a station via the stereo Delete a station via the stereo The advantages of controlling the app through the cars stereo app: Adds safety: the app can be operated while hands remain on the steering wheel Adds usability: big font on stereo is easier and faster to read than the phone app Fixes I tried but failed to make the app play through the stereo app: Reboot the phone and then reconnect to stereo Restart the stereo Start the app playing and then start the car Select start app automatically when connected to car Deselect start app automatically when connected to car Close app/swipe up and restart the app and reconnect to stereo Sign out of app, close app, restart the app, reconnect to stereo Delete car on phone’s Bluetooth registry and delete phone on car Bluetooth registry Delete app, reinstall app, reconnect to stereo Factory reset phone, delete phone on car’s Bluetooth registry, and then reconnect phone to car’s stereo

Best Music app ever tried!✨✨✨. This app is so useful! You can just play music on the app, then do something else on your phone like play a game. The only thing I would point out is the stations. It can be really hard to put a song you hear from a station into a playlist. If you’re having this problem, I’ll list the steps to do it! 1. Make a playlist(If you didn’t have one before) 2. Pick a station with the song you wanna put in the playlist. 3. Once you see the song, press the 👍🏼 at the botton. 4.Exit the station. 5. Go to the button that says “My Collections” 6. Press the playlist that says “liked songs with the big 👍🏼 7. Play the song. 8. Press the three dots in the right under the album picture. 9.Press add to playlist. 10. Select the playlist you wanna put the song in. All Done! Those are the steps to put a song from a station to a playlist. I normally don’t leave review like this, but I had to share this app. One thing that has given me trouble lately, was that whenever you’re just playing your music, on your own playlist, It complete just leaves the playlist and just puts me on some random podcast. Please get that fixed! Otherwise, this app is great and I really recommend it! Thanks for reading have a great day!

Pretty good but some issues. Hi I like this app(I’m not angry just slightly frustrated so please don’t take this like that)but there are some issues that I am having. I don’t know if anyone else is having them too, but I am and it’s annoying. About every other day-but it’s not consistent and recently it’s been happening more- I will play a song on the Pandora app, and it like glitches…but only if I listen to songs on my playlist. ~Just a note, I do not have Pandora Premium and I do not plan on getting it.~ It will say the song is playing, but it really isn’t because no sound comes out. And believe me, I have tried my volume all the way up, all the way down. My silent mode on, my silent mode off. Headphones, no headphones. Completely closing out of Pandora. Even deleting the app, getting it again and logging back in. And all of them combined and mixed together in all kinds of ways. It doesn’t do anything. And this “glitch” lasts anywhere from an hour to two days. Thank you for taking the time to consider my problems! Again, please don’t think I’m really angry, just a little frustrated. And I’m keeping Pandora, I just hope maybe the issue can be fixed. Thank you!!

Not pleased..... I have the free app, so I am wondering if my input is actually wanted. I am in my late 60’s and so a ‘music app’ on my cell phone is great in itself. However, I really don’t think it is professional to use this app to ‘push’ political causes, views in people’s faces...and I am tired of it. The majority of my stations feature black artists. That’s what I grew up with and love. I don’t listen to them because they are black. I listen to them because I love their amazing sound. To listen to a music or buy a product because someone is black, to me, is a very insulting form of racism. I don’t like having Pandora’s views/opinions shoved in my face when I just want to listen to good music—and there are now alternatives. Also, those nauseating, condescending McDonald’s ads, telling me that you don’t ‘eat’ their food, but you ‘feel’ it, have caused me to stop eating there entirely. I guess I should just shut-up and pay for your app with no advertising. I think I’ll wait and see if you guys make some changes first.

Just let us listen!. This has been my favorite music radio station for over 15 years. I enjoyed it so much initially that I introduced my entire family to it. We all have subscriptions. But the incessant “someone else is listening” messages are about to end what up until now has been a completely harmonious relationship. Yesterday, I was listening in my living room on Apple TV, then left the room to take a bath without pausing. I thought I’d listen to my music on my bathroom Bose player while I got dressed. The “someone else is listening” message popped and my music stopped. (Remember, it was me listening, just from another room.) I stepped out of the bathtub and selected the “Let me listen” option. My music continued in the bathroom. But only until THAT SONG ended. Then the music stopped again and the message popped up. Again. I got out of the shower and chose “Let me listen”. Again. And again. Until I just gave it up. This happens all the time and it is ridiculous Pandora! What has been for me up until now a five star music experience has been all but destroyed by your paranoia that someone else might be listening to my premium account besides me. They’re not. And if I want to listen to MY account on every device in my home as I move from room to room, I should be able to listen. IT’S MY ACCOUNT. I’M PAYING FOR IT!!! Get this sorted out Pandora or you are going to lose your most loyal customers. We’ve loved you!

It keeps Crashing. Okay so I have zero complaints about this app what so ever, in fact I love this app and I recommend it to all of my friends and family who don’t have it. I just have a question. I know that the app was updated a few days ago and it’s never crashed like this before. I was listening to music and I accidentally closed it. I went to go open it back up and it would either just be a black screen with a blue bar at the bottom or nothing at all. I tried to open it a few more times( I got the same result which was nothing every time) so I restarted my phone and tried again. The same thing kept happening ( I went to other apps to see if it was just this one or others; it’s just this app). I have uninstalled and reinstalled this app and it doesn’t even open for me to re-enter my information to login. I REALLY LOVE THIS APP AND DONT WANNA GET RID OF IT. I don’t know what to do or how to fix it. Can you please help?

Terrible app!. I really like Pandora, so I decided to get the premium version. 1. Unfortunately, one of my biggest issues is that the songs stop playing randomly unless I stay in the app with my phone on the whole time. This can get really annoying when you have to keep going back into the app to resume the song. 2. When I put the app in offline mode there are still lots of problems. I’ll be listening to my music while I’m doing something like hw and then it will start playing two songs at once. I can only pause one song and the other one just keeps playing. So, I have to go back in to close the app and wait a few minutes to reopen it and restart my playlist. 3. When I want to add new songs to a playlist i go to turn off offline mode, but then everything freezes! I can’t scroll, edit, or turn offline mode back on. I know that all of these have little fixes but it is such a pain to stop what you’re doing to fix these. Listening to music is supposed to be enjoyable and this just ruins it. I suggest to anyone wanting to get premium not too. I’d take the ads over this any day.

Newest format is a let down.. I have been a paid customer for three years and have used Pandora for long since I chose to pay for it. The ads never bothered me even as the frequency increased, but I paid for the service because I liked the random music sequence. A few years ago I’d select or make a radio station and then keep editing it. A song might become too repetitive so I’d just mark “I’m tired of this song” and my station would start playing different music. I was able to get my stations tailor made to my liking through this setting, but since the beginning to mid 2017 I had this feature disappear on my iPhone. No problem, it was a annoying, but I’d just use my iPad. Yet, it seems that I the past few updates the format has been changed on the iPad too to get rid of this feature. In one of those updates some of my channels were deleted and I can’t find them on the browse genre option anymore. Also, without the option to place a track on temporary hold, I have to down thumb it, and the the song is lost forever on the station. Please bring back my old stations and the option to listen to random music while placing liked but overplayed songs on hold.

Pandora Premium may not be so great after all. My headphone controls are not working with Pandora anymore over the last few days and Pandora no longer comes up on my lock screen. This is absolutely irritating. Who do I need to complain to in order to get this fixed?! Pandora is great. I always thought so. And I figured, it would be fantastic to upgrade to Pandora Premium (PP). I don't regret my decision, but it (PP) concentrates on playing thumbs up songs. Now that might sound great, but it 1) disallows the listener from gaining new music experiences from different artists, genres, and albums. 2) soon enough, I will grow tired of these favorite tracks. 3) you cannot undo a thumbs up after it is done. So if you thumbs up a song, you can neither unhighlight thumbs up nor hit "thumbs down" (although that may be extreme). What I want from Pandora Premium- and was available in the free version - is the flexibility of liking, unliking, disliking song tracks, and exploring new artists, genres, albums, and tracks. Still Pandora is great and receives 4 stars, but Pandora Premium, itself, is probably worth 2. It's not bad... just disappointing.

Switching apps skips songs. When I switch from a different app to Pandora the music either skips to the next song or stops playing all together. I'm not sure when this started but I've now had this happen across a variety of devices and systems. It happens usually if I'm streaming to some other device like Chromecast or a Bluetooth device. It's very irritating. I usually will switch back to Pandora if a song is on that I like and I just want to see the details but instead it stops playing the song. When I try to replay the song it just won't play. This happens from iPhones or iPads. This on top of no landscape mode on the iPhone X (or any iPhone) and really annoying ads. I don't mind ads if they make sense or tell me about something I might actually need or want but the ads on Pandora are some of the most annoying and irrelevant. Now replays don't work. I'm listening to the advertisement but it doesn't let me replay.

Amazing. So I’ve had this for like my whole life and I’ve always loved it but now I’m actually discovering new songs they I absolutely love like; Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift, Scars to Your Beautiful or whatever it’s called, Don’t Stop the Music by Rihanna(I think) and lots more, but if the person who made pandora is reading this, you are genius. Pandora is my absolute FAVORITE music app so if you see this review, I would definitely recommend this app and just delete all of your other music apps because no matter how hard you try to convince me, I will never get even close to thinking about deleting Pandora so I hope I convince someone that pandora is the best music app and if you are already this far you might as well just get pandora already because I have no idea what else I could do to convince you just please get pandora already because if you don’t get pandora I might as well just give up on trying to convince you because my hand is starting to hurt.

Best music app. I think this app is one of the best music apps it might not be the best but I think it’s the top three in the world I mean it’s my favorite music app so this app you can search any songs and there’s a 99 point 9% chance they are going to have the music you search I’ve never had a song that they don’t have they give you the latest update on music there is one down you have to watch ads to go on your playlist and once you search a song it’s added to your search list and you need to scroll down get it listen to it there is nothing wrong with this app I think it is perfect it’s just awesome I love music and my mom was like my mom had a different music app and she’s like you’re gonna stop listening to music on my phone and I got Pandora and I was obsessed with Pandora because it saves your favorite songs never gets rid of any music and you can just tap on The app and it’s awesome

An Unfortunate End.. I've used Pandora for almost a decade for my main source of music, and can remember discovering some of my favourite music here. However do to a recent and unfortunate experience, I will no longer be able to continue using them. This sudden change is do to the advertisements. Obviously pandora is free because of the add space they sell, and I'm generally understanding of this on any given day . Today however, was different. As I was waiting for the next song to play a rather unfortunate advertisement began to play, and it was incredibly disturbing to me. The advertisement was from a fringe political hate group that specifically fights for racial supremacy , a group that i consider the equivalent to a modern version of the Ku Klux Klan cult. Now I'm not usually one to get political, which is probably a reason why I'm so frustrated with this add, and in fact I avoid politics as much as possible, but this was over the line for me. I'm not going to get into who this group was exactly, as I don't believe they deserve any recognition, but unfortunately I will not be using this company again. People don't need political ideologies shoved down their throats, I just wanted to listen to some music man...

I love this app but something just happened.... Okay, so this app is amazing. Just because you have to pay for no adds and offline use and all of that junk it's a great app. I've been using it for I think a year, maybe more, maybe less. I don't know. After the resent update, Pandora forces me to use my free trial for Pandora Premium. I was saving it for my next summer vacation so I could really enjoy it instead of just knowing I'm wasting my week of an amazing Pandora experience. At first, I had absolutely no idea what was going on and for a minute I thought I had bought the subscription and being a fourteen year old, I was super scared that I was charging my mother's bank account. So, Pandora, if you read this, your app is amazing, but please take away my free trial and let me save it!! Thank you! I haven't had any crashes, like ever. (The teenager came out sorry) so I'm not afraid of that. This app really deserves 5 stars except the free trial thing. Okay, so, all in all, this is a great app and you should really get it. It's the best one like it.

No longer in Denial. I’ve been in denial over the functionality of Pandora for over a year now. After years of free listening with manageable ads I found that the number, frequency and length of ads went up exponentially about a year ago. So I decided to upgrade. Commercial free and offline listening were big selling points to me. However it’s not really commercial free is it? I would have to play an ad to replay a song and sometimes even to skip. And don’t get me started on the offline listening feature. I am a commuter and am often on the subways and I find that not only do I have to have turned on the offline listening option before I’m underground but I only have a selection of maybe a dozen songs in that playlist. If I don’t switch to the offline listening option before I’m out of range there is no offline listening for me at all. Instead I watch as Pandora skips and buffers through dozens of songs as I listen to the complaints of commuters around me. I can’t honestly note a praiseworthy aspect of Pandora right now and since I’ve canceled my subscription I have such a sense of alleviation. I am no longer wasting money or energy over an app that doesn’t work.

Amazing! And I have a lot of proof for it too!. I love this app! It’s great for listening to your favorite music! It doesn’t turn off in other apps, on your home screen, and when you turn your device off. I’ve used some other music apps and this one is by far my favorite, in fact I’m listening right now. However, they do send a lot of emails. I’m okay with them but if you don’t like them you can easily unsubscribe from the emails and still listen to the music. Also there are a ton of different kinds of music and whatever you like is probably there. They also personalize it to you and it’s great. If you don’t like their suggestions you can always search up something you would like to listen to and you’ll probably find it. I am constantly on there listening to music and thumbing up all of the songs. You can thumbs up or thumbs down songs depending on how you like them. You can listen to all of your radios together or you can listen to your favorite songs on the thumbprint radio.

Definitely one of the best music apps (especially if you’re a YouTuber!). Ok hi this works really well, I am a YouTuber and I listen to this while I edit and make videos I am a Gachatuber so I have to do a lot of screenshoting, and although my videos take hours to make us makes it seem like minutes! As long as you can find some good music to listen to this app works really well to listen to it. You can easily listen to it while you edit or work on stuff, also figure I should say this because free advertising why not? My channel name is xXRiley_MochaXx i’m a very small YouTuber so if you’re gonna look it up (although you’re probably not) please type it exactly as that or just simply copy and paste it, ok after my shameless free advertising (lol) this is a really good app, good quality, free stuff (if you watch an ad wait does that mean it’s not free? Oh well you don’t have to pay money for it) ok bye just download this if you’re gonna do it

Life expression through harmony of time an place of the poetically timed !. Life sounding exceptionally thought out melodies brought by all the unique personality perspective which derived to what ever one choses which is such a lovely way to share I’m so satisfied with all the sharing music applications because one has a opportunity to receive such a gift for free if one hasn’t the means to pay or if you chose one can pay an have many more options which in this time of existence we need all the opportunities of fun, inspiration , vast energies that we may have have noticed if we didn’t have the applications which is what Pandora allows an wants to share which is so so generous in our time of a is a very isolated period in terms of sharing with each other for which is at times get dreary though this application an others give us opportunities of a library of choice for free an that’s a blessing Me . Thank you Pandora so fortunate to be able to pay its well worth it !!!

Great app. Best music streaming app I’ve used. The low monthly payments are great for ad free listening, offline listening, and unlimited skips. In addition to the low (optional) monthly fee your playlist is fully customizable to your music taste. If you hear a song to many times you can simply press I’m bored of this song and it won’t play for a while. You can add many different genres to one playlist or you can add different bands of the same genre to your playlist. The app selects music related to the bands, songs, or genres you’ve selected. You can also mix it up and shuffle all your playlists together! Great app will use it forever thank you Pandora! The only thing I would like to see is macros or hotkeys with the volume button so I can skip and thumb up songs without stopping what I’m doing and simply use volume controls via side of the phone or volume control buttons on my headphones.(not sure if this is already a thing from what I’ve seen it is not yet a thing)

Life. I grew up on this music and like a lot of my friends and family did also. I can’t say anything else about this music but it’s like you got to have air and water and music is like the natural thing’s in life too make it too the next breath give me my Zeppelin and will be just fine. I learned how to make love listening to Led Zeppelin. I will not give you my age at time. I sure We where not the only one at that age learning the way of life on this story telling music. I could go on for ever and I will say this I’m now a old man and when I’m listening to Zep I feel like I did when I was a young boy experiencing life. I still feel the like I remain the same as did as a pup. This world without this beautiful music could not have been the same world with out it. Please make sure you have your last Album with best of wait I don’t need to give you all any advice on how to make your last album just do what it is you do and all will remain the same. Thanks from one of your #1 fans Barney

Veronica Andrade. Pandora filled my summer with exquisite songs and I found a lot of new music to listen to. I enjoyed the pleasant slow walks with quick steps in between running to soft calming tunes. I enjoyed the late night parties to Spanish music. I enjoyed the summer mornings spent playing basketball with my ball dribbling to the beat of drums. I could not put it into better words, but I felt like I was in love every single day in July and August. I cannot believe music has come this far. I cannot even trace where I found all such great music. The world definitely does not deserve Pandora because it gives more than we give back. I don't even have a favorite song. Because of all the great music Pandora has to offer. Rather I have a myriad of favorite songs ranging from R&B, pop, classic rock and romantic music. With artists like American Authors, OneRepublic, Pink, Daft Punk, and Taylor Swift. And favorite movie soundtracks like Paper Towns, Love Story, and Valerian. Love, yours truly, and number one listener: Veronica Andrade

Music. It takes me back growing up in Jacksonville,Florida I seen many singers at the Jacksonville Coliseum Brass Construction,Al Green, Billy Paul,James Brown, etc some of the songs you can’t remember where you were at that certain days or times I stayed in the pool hall, which I was too young to be there, but my cousin was a player and whenever I heard me and Mrs. Jones, I knew a certain lady had come in so music is what we lived by and still today so keep the ODs playing to astonishing moments at the Coliseum I was at the concert to see Al Green and I asked my mother why do they have a fence around the stage? He said you’ll see why and we know the rest the other ones I didn’t find this one out till many years later James Brown wood slide off the stage at one end, the strobe light went from that and to the other, and within 15 seconds, he’s sliding out that in with a different outfit that found out they were snap on suits so this music keeps me going

My go to! But..... I’ve had Pandora for a very long time and i enjoy how it knows me so well after a decade of listening. There are a few things i would add, such as a driving mode where touch controls are bigger and more pronounced. The upgrade pop up is freakin annoying, but you gotta do what you gotta do, i do suggest maybe a delay when it pops up, because it appears as soon as you wake up your phone and ive hit that banner a million and one times so far when i try to change a station or song. As for the biggest issue right now is pandora when apple maps is open. It completely messes up voice turn by turn and you only get audio prompts which defeats the purpose of eyes on the road. No matter what settings i change in Pandora or maps, no voice turn by turn possible when playing a song. This doesn't happen with any other music app...just saying. Overall great music service and ill update the review as soon as these issue get fixed....running on iPhoneSE....i need to upgrade, i know, but youuu have the money? Exactly, so shut up. Lol jk Love you 😍

From Joe Swimmer〰🏊🏼〰. I really enjoy your Pandora, I listen to it all the time and it was the commercial’s that was worth while to me as well. I am a out side , blanket person pushing my shopping cart around helping others who are wealthy. I find they are unique but are in need of survival techniques and staying healthy on the out side. Pandora relaxes me and I can swim 🏊‍♂️ in the dirty bay water, ice cold water in the winter and jog miles down the coast to warm up. I live in a tent and wear swimming trunks and stay on the beach just like the wealthy do except I am closer to the water than they are and I don’t pay anything to live in my small homeless tent. Pandora gets me in the mood to move my tent down the beach when I get a three day notice to vacate my current spot. Pandora helps me look for food in back of dumpsters behind grocery stores. ( dumpster diving) so if you want, keep giving me Pandora and I will keep listening and have a marry Christmas and a great new year. Joe Swimmer 🏊🏼 in the dirty bay water

I love Pandora, but I have some concerns. I love Pandora, use it almost everyday, and have Pandora Plus. But I have some concerns. One being that quite a bit of songs I like have been made unrepeatable. Another is that they change songs and artists, for example on my station they replaced Avicii’s Wake Me Up with a version done by another artist and now I don’t get Avicii’s version but they still have his version in the app. Thirdly is the seeming lack of variety that I get. There’s been several times where I like a song by an artist and don’t get any other song by them, even though Pandora has more songs from them. I would hope that these get resolved at some point, and would also like it if they added more songs from artists like the plenty of TheFatRat songs there are that aren’t on Pandora. I still love Pandora despite these concerns and will continue to use it, and would recommend Pandora to anybody.

Used to be awesome but then.... I've been using Pandora for a couple years now I think. But after an update probably 6-8 months ago, Pandora no longer works with a USB cord - on players, in my car, nothing. This is really annoying because the USB allowed me to control Pandora through the radio/remote/device it was connected to and now I have to use an AUX cord. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and done everything I can think of to no avail. The Pandora Premium pop up is really annoying - shoving it in my face isn't going to make me buy it. Also, why, if I pause Pandora for more than ~15 minutes, does it "refresh" and start playing a new song?! On the app and site it does this. I don't want to pause it for long periods during songs I like because I'm afraid I won't be able to listen to the rest of it! And your ads are WAY louder than the music, which is REALLY OBNOXIOUS because I'll be jamming out and suddenly I'm blasted with a commercial (I'm already hard of hearing, you don't need to make it worse, kay thanks) Fix these issues and you'll be golden 👌🏼

What happened. I used to love Pandora because it was free music that played all my favorite music and had a wide variety of music from movie soundtracks to music you hear everyday on the radio. But this past year or so Pandora hasn’t been the best. For one it used to have a problem where it would just shut off for no reason at all but that problem seemed to get fix. But now there’s a problem with loading the music, sometimes radio stations won’t load and you’ll either have to play with a couple of other stations and then go back to that one. I understand the concept of liking songs and hearing similar songs like that one you liked but they continuously play the same liked songs all the time. I realized that you’re better off not liking or disliking a song if you want to hear different music. The last thing is the ads. I know that’s how you make your money and a lot of us can’t afford to pay for premium but it’s annoying when you can only listen to 2 songs before an ad pops up. I wish y’all would fix some of these problems

Meh. I listen to pandora pretty much everyday. For the most part I like it. Some of the things that drive me insane, though... some days, when I pause the music, doesn’t matter how long, when I push play i have to reload. I get really sick of the adds all of the time wanting me to upgrade. I get it, you want some money. I totally understand this. But asking me to upgrade for, what is it, less than five dollars a month 600 times in one day isn’t going to make my budget magically change to where I fee comfortable adding five dollars a month to it. Not quite a top priority right now with my bills. And why does the app crash in the middle of a song quite often on some days? I’d like to be able to search for an artist or a song by that artist and at least have that particular song be the first song I hear. Instead I get music that’s I may also like because of my search history. Well, I think hays enough complaining. Other than some of that stuff, like I said, I listen to Pandora pretty much everyday. I like it better than some of the other options out there.

Covid and Divorce. The past year and a half of my existence have been the hardest times of my life to date. Every time I get stuck in my head I throw in my ear buds and tell Siri to play five finger death punch, jelly roll or even Emma Hewitt and almost immediately I feel a sense of purpose and meaning knowing through out of all these truly troubling times that I have always done the right thing no matter the circumstances or consequences and these days it hardly ever feels good to be the nice guy and do, what by God, is truly the right thing! Pandora has been a savior of my mind and soul throughout these troubling times. This world is truly a demented and dysfunctional place, and somehow listening to Pandora gives me a new perspective on all this chaos and suffering around me and has gotten me through worst of days! I listen to Pandora with my very soul! I thank You All for the release and clarification that I have discovered through listening to Pandora! 👁❤️🫵

Great Disappointment. I was really loving pandora. Playing music I knew and finding new music to love and then after a few weeks it started crashing. I followed the support directions: stop and close app, reopen: same error. Turn off device, turn back on: same error. Delete app, download app: same error. The support team the put a “trace” on my account supposedly. No error for 2 was. Then the error started back up, so I went back through the above steps, as advised by support who had a “trace” on my account. None of the fixes worked, and the “trace” apparently means nothing. Support then advised that I need to delete the app, and connect to my computer to sync my iTunes, then download the app...blah blah blah blah....Guess what? None of that crap worked either!!! Huge waste of time and effort! I fail to understand how iTunes is at fault, but pandora surely isn’t going to solve any problems, let alone take responsibility and fix their app. No no no...instead they are busy creating ridiculous processes that fix nothing, and useless updates. Great job pandora! Some may pay for the service, and perhaps that prevents the crashing, but there are other apps that provide much more, that are stable, and don’t play games through their support team.

App will not install on WatchOS 6.2. After updating my iPhone to iOS 13.4 and Apple Watch to watchOS 6.2 I went for a run and noticed I could no longer stream live stations, I could only play downloaded stations. Uninstalled and attempted to reinstall, but the app will no longer install to my watch. I managed to install pandora from the store on the watch, but streaming via lte and WiFi is broken, app closes when selecting a station, only able to listen to downloaded stations. Update 9 Apr 20: Updated iPhone 11 Pro to 13.4.1 and Apple Watch 5 LTE to 6.2.1. Watch was exhibiting same symptoms, when not connected to phone, can only play downloaded stations and playlists and forces closed when trying to play stations. Update 11 Apr 20: Had headphones connected to iPhone to allow streaming station and left proximity of iPhone to go for a run. When the music stopped I attempted to connect my head phones to my watch and play downloaded station, headphones connected successfully, but nothing would play, not downloads or streaming stations. Performed a hard restart on the Apple Watch ( holding crown and button ), when the watch rebooted, headphones connected successfully and I was able to play streaming stations and downloaded stations and playlists. I have used my headphones and watch without phone and using streaming stations 3 times since with no hiccups.

Pandora Keeps improving.. I’ve been with Pandora since the beginning. Yep. Since the beginning. Whoever they have working on the algorithm, they are doing a more than decent job. Sure you create your own “stations” but when you hit shuffle the selection and size of their catalog that comes on really shows how fine tuned they are getting to one’s taste. I don’t get that experience with other apps (no matter how much I’ve paid) I pick out obscure bands and pandora has so far delivered. I’m talking bands from record labels that don’t even exist anymore. There is always room for improvement but at this moment I’m enjoying pandora more than ever… With Other music apps I feel like I’m in a self imposed box and the experience with these other music apps has been less than smooth in comparison. It feels like Pandora does equal work in helping each individual curate their experience. I’m glad Pandora stuck with being a (RADIO) experience. If you know, you know.

Continually having issues with out of place songs. I’ve really loved the Pandora app for at least 4 if not the last 5 years now! It’s one of my favorite apps on my phone! But I have a pretty big complaint: the thing is that almost daily, if not once or twice daily, I will be listening to the app, most prevalently this is as I’ve been listening to my Christmas music station for the last several weeks, and I will hear for example, “Oh Boy” by Buddy Holly, a song which is decidedly not Christmas on a station which is decidedly Christmas. That is something that happens way to often for me! It happens every once in a while on regular stations,a classical music piece for example will play on an oldies station, but it’s not nearly as bad as what happens with my “Christmas Classics” radio station on Pandora! Please fix this ASAP! Apart from these issues, I do want to say that really love my Pandora app! Thank you!

Advertisements. Advertisements are too frequent. I should NOT have to pay to not have commercials. I can use other competing music apps that don’t have commercials like Pandora does. Also, just because I “like” a song when I’m listening to one genre of radio station, doesn’t mean I want to hear that song when I’m listening to a different genre of radio station. As humans, we are all in different moods at different times, and enjoy listening to different genres of music, depending on our mood. So if I am in the mood to be listening to a more upbeat and dance type genre, that doesn’t mean I want to hear my favorite slow love song from Secondhand Serenade. Please keep the same theme of music within the genre of radio station selected by the customer. If I want to listen to a random mix of songs I have periodically “liked” on Pandora, then I can listen to my thumbprint station. Otherwise, if I pick “Dance Party”, I want Dancing themed music, likewise, if I pick “Love Songs”, I want to hear slow romantic deep lyrical music.

Why I love this app. I love this app because I can have songs when I have my phone off so it will be able to not die when I don’t have a charger and I can play other games while I’m listening to music music which is amazing I love your guises game will app Pandora is the best app I’ve used and I hope everyone gave you five or four stars not three are down I don’t think you guys deserve 32 or a one star I think you guys deserve five or for at least four but I say five I like how you guys can do an interview I likeI like how you can change times and you want to have different thumbs up thumbs down I don’t really like the ad but that’s OK you don’t really have ads and I like how you can just search Music or little search I like how you can change sounds and you want to have different thumbs up thumbs down I don’t really like the ad but that’s OK you don’t really have ads and I like how you can search Music or a little search you know I mean and I really like it I’m glad I can tell you guys this

Hi … some changes u need to do. OK see here fact is lots of people and I have been annoyed about the ads so could you at least make the skips more like 6 or 7 not like three or four because it doesn’t seem fair every like skip skip skip because you don’t like this song or there’s a problem with this song or something and you only get three or four skips which it doesn’t seem fair maybe for other people it’s like whatever but most people it’s kind of annoying because you always keep hearing the same ad every few seconds like haven’t you heard ratings and reports about the ads and all that stuff? Yeah I bet you did this app is really good but I would say that has to change and… for the other rates I don’t know I have read some of them and others I just didn’t read because I don’t have much time but I hope you understand and yes I do come back to my rate and change it if something is wrong so I hope you have a really really really really nice day and that’s most likely it Bye have a nice day and ty for reading this!!!

The Best Playlists. I’ve been using Pandora since 2003 or 2004 and it has introduced me to so many new artists that I have happily shared with friends through the years. The patchwork of music that Pandora plays is still, I think, unparalleled when comparing the other big music streaming services. Being able to share new music with a friend and hear them say “This is awesome, I haven’t heard this before!” is all thanks to Pandora and has fed the joy that many who enjoy music feel when they hear a new song or artist. If I’m being honest I got to hear it only because Pandora heard it first and added it to whatever station I was listening to—Thank you Pandora for bringing so much great music to myself and those close to me AND allowing me to help cultivate stations throughout the years by giving a thumbs up, thumbs down, and to add variety to a station. PS: Reading the Artist bio’s when you get the chance can be really interesting!

Only one issue. Pandora is a great app and pretty good for kids. As a kid myself, I don’t like seeing things that don’t interest me, or are not appropriate, so Pandora is a great option because you can turn off “Explicit Music” and you can add songs that are similar to your taste. I wish there was a more kid-friendly feature, or your parents could pick only specific podcasts or stations you could listen to, but no app is perfect lol. The “one issue” is that when I try to play a song sometimes, I see the bar that the music is on, (the bar that you can fast forward or rewind) but the place on the bar doesn’t move.”, and the music doesn’t play. So I have to delete the app and reinstall it, which isn’t a big deal, because it logs you right in when you install it again, but I have to do this several times a day so it gets annoying. And it’s not just my device either, because my little sister has the same problem. So that’s my only complaint. Other than that, the music is nice, and the app is high quality:)

Love Pandora! Avid user... BUT!. I love Pandora. I use it daily. It's awesome. Between my own personal use, and then playing for my kids while they play, we use it for hours and hours each day. BUT! I've got two problems with it: 1) for some reason, the app won't let me hit play from my lock screen after it's been paused for a few seconds. It just automatically re-pauses. I've gotta unlock the phone and then go back in and hit play that way. Not a big deal, but kind of annoying. 2) my biggest problem is the ads. Having Ads- not a big deal. It's the ad CONTENT that gets me. My kids will be listening to a Disney themed station or Veggie Tales station and an ad for Tampax or Trojan condoms will come on. I don't think those ads are very appropriate. If they're played after a certain time each night- sure, whatever. But this was in the late mornings and early afternoon on kid stations. I'll keep using Pandora. I love it! I'll just have to make sure I turn the volume off in a hurry if inappropriate ads pop up.

Pandora. I like the app and all, but my mother WILL NOT LET ME LISTEN TO SONGS WITH WORDS! What is up with that?! I did find a way to listen to some music that had words on the radio that was not supposed to have music with words. So, I have been able to manage it until now. Last night I went to go to the drive in. When both movies were done I was gonna listen to my music. My mother offered to turn on my music, but I said no and tried to grab it from her. THEN she checked my iPad and changed my music to A RADIO STATION SO SO SO STUPID THAT I COULD EVEN LISTEN TO IT! Can you guess what radio station is was? SPA RADIO! I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE IT! *sure do wish I could listen to music WITH WORDS instead of a stupid stupid STUPID spa radio that I CAN’T EVEN LISTEN TO!!!!* Case Closed! Now, GOOD BYE! I truly do wish that when people update the app, the update will delete the stations that don’t have words. I still do love Pandora, but my mother ALWAYS HAS TO BE THE ONE TO GO AND MESS UP MY EXPERIENCE! I still do love her VERY VERY MUCH!❤️

It’s the little things. I’ve been a long time user of pandora.. since middle school days which is more than 10 years, and I love every aspect of it, especially as a premium user.. but it’s getting to the point where it’s becoming repetitive.. for the longest Pandora would introduce me to new music based off of songs or artists I liked and that’s how I discovered new music.. but now if I try to find new music based off a song it just adds the music I’ve thumbed on other stations so I have to dislike a majority of the songs I liked on another station to make the station I’m listening to have similar music.. I’m all about listening to repeated songs.. but after awhile it gets tiring Another issue I’ve been having lately is the clearing of my offline stations/songs/ artist/ ect every time I’m logged out of the app which has been happening recently. Idky, and I don’t realize it until I’m at a point that I need to go offline. It’s the little things that really effect my feelings on this app. I would love to keep using it and being a premium member.. but if I wanna just repeat songs I’ll use and MP3 player

I’ve got questions 🤔🤨. Ummm.....Im sad like REALLY sad cuz I LOVE LOVE LOVE music!! Yet I have problems with this app I wouldn’t recommend listening to Stronger Than You Chara version by Karaiinu because it just quiets the song as if u turned it down like what, 7 NOTCHES!! So u turn it up and everything seems okay.....UNTIL THE NEXT SONG PLAYS!!!! Then it’s booming loud!!!😡😡 Also as others have listed you have a playlist mine has oh, you know, like 57 songs and I know like that’s a LOT see I love music and have like fifty stations and playlists! But ya u play ur playlist and like 11 or so songs later you here what sounds like a short ringtone or something like that and it goes to the last station you left off on! Plus when u like listen to ur playlists on shuffle but have to watch an add first,wich I’m fine with but I like CLEARLY clicked shuffle and they play IN ORDER?!? Like BRUV seriously 😒 I mean it’s not a big deal probably to u guys but to me I HATE IT!!! Just my opinion. I mean even with these problems I still always listen to pandora! I’m actually listening RIGHT NOW as I write or type this review sorry if this is really long! BYE LOVE!🌺🌸💙🤍❄️🟥🟧🟨🟩🟦🟪

Slimy sales tricks. Classless.. Barely able to navigate app due to the overwhelming number of adds that they jam down your throat. Back to back Pop ups that require you to close, lazily slopped together commercials, and if that wasn't enough the variety of songs is pitiful. After the first 7 songs it just goes to a loop where I hear the same familiar songs day in and out. For how little this app provides it's not worth sitting through horrible repetitive commercials and closing swarms of pop up ads. Goodbye pandora. (3 month later-update) If I had the money to buy out pandora I would. Upon owning the company I would then run it straight into the ground and erase its existence from the planet. How you have managed to create a music listening experience that is so horrible is beyond me. Your listeners should love you not hate you. Annoying users with ads until they cave and purchase premium is a slimy business tactic. I have more respect for telemarketers. I came back to use the app to see if anything changed and I can't even open the app. I have a top of the line phone that can run everything but your app. It's almost 2018 and you can't get your app to function on a modern phone. There has been 3 updates and nothing has been resolved. DISGUSTED!

Best thing. Ive had Pandora for YEARS. I finally upgraded to a paid account instead of free. I wish i had done this years ago. I have always loved pandora and have found so many of my favorite bands through Pandora. Now i used Pandora as a “therapy” or “medication”. Im a combat vet with serious PTSD and until very recently have been able to go without any pills due mostly to Pandora. I know that sounds silly but I legitimately medicate with music (specifically Pandora). I use special stations ive set up when i paint as well for inspiration and to keep the right mood or frame of mind or energy for the style im working on that night. Pandora has been and is currently a godsend for me and theres a decent chance I wouldn’t be here without it. Im a lifetime customer and incredibly appreciative of all the free years i accessed it as well. I hope someone up top reads this review because i want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have no idea you’ve done in my life. Tearing up as I write this lol...THANK YOU.

Not easy to use. I love the music I’ve found, BUT they say one is a single artist Chanel or station or whatever and the next with the same name plays that artist and others . But how can you see the difference . I’m basically using two stations because I can’t figure out how to navigate or try new things. I have premium and I think I should have a much better experience than this. Maybe an online how to use the thing and separate it Into free, plus and premium . Meanwhile I have two stations that play a variety around that artist and I like that. The other complaint I have is some of the artist choose that artists music from the worst they ever did, I’ll use Stevie Ray Vaughn for an example. The “ station” was playing all from an early album almost anyone who knows his music would cringe. Many of those same songs are on live albums and are so much better. To get them I had to search . Then it played one live album over and over. Very disappointing. Not all of his live songs are on one album! Gets worse . Got premium family. All this great stuff you can supposedly do, but do they say how? No. So you really don’t have any thing you didn’t have free

Love, Music and Pandora. For people who truly love music Pandora is a godsend. There is a joy that That comes from a good surprise. With Pandora you don’t have to set up a playlist, so you’re never sure what song my play next. Pandora uses a song or band that you chose to start your station. They play music that is similar to your original chose. Pandora then uses algorithms that track your likes and dislikes of the songs that you have listened to in order to create a custom playlist for every user. I pay for the service that removes the ads and allows me to skip any songs or repeat any songs that I want.I have had Pandora for years and enjoy it so much that I stopped to write this small review. If you love music I think that you will also love Pandora. I hope that you give it a try. Music brings so much happiness to life, and with Pandora your music can always be with you. I don’t have to download hundreds of songs I can just listen to my music every were I go. I love music. I love Pandora.

I love it!. I’ve used it for 3 years and it keeps getting better. Minus the commercials between songs that kills my vibe it’s great. I also get annoyed by only have a few song skips. I mean there’s a lot of songs I like and a lot I don’t like, so I like to thumbs them down and skip. But when I run out of song skips then I’m forced to listen to music I hate... so I usually get off the app then. It would be nice if when you both thumbed it down and skipped the song then the skip wouldn’t count. To me it’s different to hate a song and skip it then to just casually not be in the mood for a song that you like but just don’t want to listen to, so you skip it. But anyways, other than those two things it’s overall a great app! It has some great songs that I just have to download to my phone after finding out about them. It always has the newest and oldest of songs of every genre.👍🏼 I can say if you download it you won’t regret it.

Why update?. I hesitated to update but instead went against myself and did anyway, now my pandora won't start at all. Can u fix this bcuz I use this app in my car every single day. This never happened before and my phone and other apps on my phone work fine except pandora. I will never update again once I get it back up unless I'm forced to. Also how are we supposed to trust paying for the premium version if the app isn't promised to work when u update it. I wouldn't dare risk my coins on something that won't even work half the time. I haven’t updated my pandora app since Aug of 2017, I been fed up with the broken fixes and the issues are never resolved. I see people on here complaining not having the pandora icon on their Apple Watch anymore, well luckily I do since I have yet to update. I feel bad for the ones who lost that feature on their watch. What’s the point of updates if it’s not an update but a broken fix.

Great App! But... Hi! I’ve been using Pandora for awhile. But not like 4 years or something 😅. I just want to say I love this app! I love how you can search the song you want! I honestly don’t have a problem with seeing an add when you search for the song. I kinda like the way you made the add it’s very creative to :). Anyway the reason I’m typing this is because recently the app has been having bugs like this morning ((on this date)) when I search the song I want and then after watching the add it looks like I’m gonna listen to the song but then it stops and says “Something went wrong”. And so I’m like oh ok, I’ll just try it again. Then after the add it says the same thing! I was a little irritated about it.. so I just wanted to tell you guys that there are some bugs going on in the app. Oh and another thing I wanted to say is that sometimes there’s a little to much adds when in on a radio I like. Anyway! So far I LOVE this app! It’s improved so much! ☺️ Respond if you can!

Needs a tiny bug fix but no new features. It’s great that way it is.. The only thing I want edit is landscape orientation view, much like on Samsung phones. I don’t know why iPhones have not had this feature since the iPhone X because it’s bigger than the eight and smaller than 8+ but still has a bigger screen than both of them, but just in general ever since the iPhone 11 and above we still also haven’t had landscape in this app and I see a lot of other phones that have notches and everything like Samsung phones and even the punch hole camera and they can still rotate to the left or the right when you’re in the Pandora app in the landscape view and this app still can’t on the iPhone definitely needs an update it’s not apples‘s ability to add it. If you are app you need to make it available for plus size phone so we can rotate it desperately needs a big update please plz🙏

Unfair! I’m outraged!!. I am taking my business elsewhere. They don’t have a number you can call if you have a quick question and they drag to respond. I sighed up for the premium family plan and I was actually kinda excited about it. I had it for 3 months and had my sister and parents on it. Just two days ago they didn’t take the money and pandora asked me if I wanted to subscribe to one of their plans. I thought there must have been a problem with the card I have since it’s been acting up. I went to where you sign up to the pandora family plan and it asked for my log in information. I logged in and it said “Unable to subscribe to Pandora Premium Family You must be 21 years or older to start a Pandora Premium Family plan. To join, have someone else in your family who is 21 years or older start a Pandora Premium Family plan, then they can add you to the plan as a family member. Alternatively, see other subscription plans” I am outraged and feel this is unjust if that was their policy in the first place why didn’t they just deny it in the first place. I don’t want anything for free I have been paying and before that I had the regular premium. All I want is to be able to enjoy the family premium plan once again.

Pandora is the Greatest. Why? Because I can listen to music before I buy it and discover artists that provides otherwise The opportunity that I would never find them without Pandora and read about their history and curious facts about artist that I already know... It expands my understanding of music and makes me a better person. It the dest deal and play fantastic music, with great variety of ever been selecting of music, for I had before! I kind would described myself to a Renaissance person. I can enjoy the new music that is making moves, that very refreshing to knowledge. Pandora, has given me the key to the Universe of Music. One of mankind greatest treasure. Demonstrating that you can suit the music to suites. Be adventurous, and try new sounds, styles, waves. Suit the music to your vibes, experience music as never before. Rare and single edition of fantastic music, wherever you go! It is one of the best decisions of a lifetime, having Pandora.

Woke radio app. I have been using pandora for years and this is what I have experienced. Why can't it just play music and quit trying to learn what I like. Also when you listen to an add so you can listen to a particular album then it seams you get 25-30 minutes to listen to the album and then it's back to what the machine wants you to listen to. I just want to listen to what I want to listen to not what is picked for me or what is forced down my throat. Here is another issue I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I believe his word is true and yes he is THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. (I'm sure this will get revived because of this). Why must you Marxist believing company force homosexually on me! Every banner is the alphabet soup. Some MAN dressed as a WOMAN (only 2 genders) and talking in a very feminine voice and this SIN is applauded and celebrated on this horrible app. I just want to listen to music not be forced by you MARXIST who can't figure out which gender you are! I will never use Pandora again and I will not be quiet about the sinful acts/actions thy I see applauded here on this app. Another issue why must I sign up to play music so you can remember, keep track of what I listen to?

Great app, just could use some tweaks. Pandora is one of my favorite apps. I listen to it almost daily. Nearly daily, however, it suffers little issues that frustrate me. Examples: The thumbs up/down feature is cool, but crude and its true functionality is in clear. Consider: A song comes on that I like, but it’s a live version. I hate listening to live versions of songs. So is that a thumbs up or down? Lately, if I have been listening for a while and my phone has gone into sleep mode (not sure that is the proper term), I’ll open the phone again and the pause/play button will be locked. The phone isn’t locked. Other controls work, but I can’t stop/start the music without starting a different station. Very frustrating. One more: I started a new station by picking a band (Alabama). Sure enough, first song was a live version of a mediocre song. I skipped the song. The next few songs that came up were non-Alabama songs I liked - songs I would like on an Alabama station. Thumbs up. No more Alabama songs. I quickly stopped thumbing up, then started skipping. Finally, I thumbed down some songs I actually liked. After an hour of music, Pandora had only played three crappy Alabama songs or crappy versions of good Alabama songs. I quit the station and deleted it. Next day I tried again and had a much better, but not great experience with a new Alabama station. Wonderful, magical, but sometimes very confusing.
