GREAT MUSIC W/ PURCHASE If you're looking for a cheap way to get all of your favorite jams in one app, Pandora's for you! I've discovered new music & have had an overall great experience using this app. If you don't want ads and wanna just skip the bs, just buy it, believe me it's well worth the few bucks! (:

Good Music I love this app, and I listen to it a lot because it has all my favorite songs. But I've noticed that a lot more ads pop up on the mobile version than on the desktop version. If you could limit the number of ads on the mobile app that'd be great! Also, and I'm not sure if this is a Pandora or Google thing, whenever I say, "Ok Google, play my Stevie Wonder station", have it play the station I already already have, not create a new one.

Pandora is the GREATEST!! I've been listening to Pandora for . . . I'm not sure how long, but it's been a few years. I enjoy being able to personalize my listening. An added bonus is Pandora giving me artist similar to the ones I select. But, there was one thing I didn't like; the ads. I put up with the ads for a while but it got the best of me. I finally decided to go ad free and it's worth it. Now I wish that other service would stop calling. Serius-ly. 😉

Love the app! I love Pandora Plus! I was really happy that you provided my most listened to stations to be able to be played in offline mode. HOWEVER, the app updated today and now all the offline stations were erased and I can't seem to find a way to get them to download again. Please fix the issue. Listening offline really has helped with keeping my data usage under control.

if I'm not on the Pandora screen while it is playing music it either skips my song or stops playing the music all together. it used to be fine but it started doing that out of no where. fix this and I'll give a better rating. UPDATE: It's been awhile since my last comment and it still skips my songs. fix this damn bug please. as I type this it is skipping my songs. eff you pandora

Alarm and Thumbprint If I've stopped or paused Pandora but left open in background, especially for extended time periods, then the alarm won't activate or play a music station. Thumbprint literally plays the last station I thumbed up over and over. I have to go to a different station and thumbs up songs to get it to stop. A better idea would be to allow users to group stations into customizable categories. For example, a study, workout, traveling, etc category.

Holy adverts, Batman. Are you an advertising service or a music service? Because I honestly can't tell. I understand you want people to go for the paid service, but 1-2 ads after EVERY single song? That doesn't make me want to give you money, it makes me want to uninstall the whole thing. But I'm just one person and I know it won't matter.
I love Pandora. I've been using it for years. I recently upgraded to Pandora One and the offline mode worked for a little bit and then when I try to turn it in, no playlists show up. And now the app crashes after two songs, using online mode. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and now it won't even. Let me log in. Please fix this. I don't wanna have to cancel my subscription. Also, having play/pause/skip/thumbs up/thumbs down buttons in the notification panel would be really convenient
Needs Work Pandora has been one of the first and best music platforms, but recently has fallen short of its great reputation. Ads are the norm for apps these days and that's the smallest issue. The whole existence of this app is to enjoy music, however it's hard to do when songs are not loading and/or buffering; finished by the whole thing coming to a halt all together. These technical issues need some TLC because there are other platforms out there and they will win if these issues are not resolved.
Not really pleased with Pandora plus Offline is great but it would be way better if you are able to choose the top stations... Online play lately has not been working properly and it's starting to not be worth the $5 a month.... Fix the issue!
Recently it seems like Pandora only plays the same previously liked songs over and over again, even on other stations. Big Mama Thornton on the Christmas station? Really? Or it plays songs that don't sound remotely like the ones i have liked, which causes me to thumbs down, so the station only plays the ones I did like. Also, so coked with ads it's barely usable half the time. Too many ads Poor variety
No Problems. A lot of people are complaining about songs constantly buffering but that is not the case with me, it works great all the time so maybe for some people the problem is actually with their phone or wifi/data connection. What people need to remember is new phones come out every day and there could be compatibility issues, that IS NOT Pandora's fault. LGG3
I love this app, pretty much all my data is dumped onto this. Its super easy to use and has virtually every song besides a few gametracks. The only wish I have for ot, is that you can dislike an artist. I love all music but certain artists just kill my vibe.
Great App,hours of great music, I would like to see more material from favorite artists. I look for certain albums or songs & Pandora just doesn't have them. So thats when ya gotta go to YouTube I guess, but I pay for Pandora,I don't pay for YouTube. I have faith in Pandora though,in time I'm sure you will have all the music I'm looking for. You guys always get better and better!
What's up Pandora!? I mean really since this last update you suck for lack of better words always crashing or freezing when I skip a song or change stations. Please fix Update January 2017, offline mode was neat at first. Now I no longer have the option on which "top " station to listen too, it just gives me one option what's up?
It's been great up until a few weeks ago. But for some reason it's been stopping and not playing any music or just relaunching the app by itself unless the screen is lit up. Normally I can listen to music and do other things but it has not been working. But who knows. Maybe this update will fix it. *Edit: the update did not fix it. It's still cutting off my music.
Awesome but... This is great app! You can use it for many things like partys but there sre a lityle too much ads! I csn bare with it but my family cant. Anyways i. Sugest this app for mant things! No payment re a uired to listen to the songs you live!
Doesnt work well on lap top stops all the time super annoying. i just started up pandora and wow at the same time practically broke the game I had to reinstall wtf, cache, and interface folders and set up everything all over again. The paid version should have unlimited skips then I would give more stars! Instead I just canceled my sub. Non stop commercials better off watching tv.
This app has turned into one of the biggest pieces of garbage around. It seems I can't have my phone locked. App will play one song and then begin it's not stop loading until I reopen my phone to Pandora then the song begins to play. So stupid. Pandora is garbage and will definitely be deleting. Hope nobody uses this app ever again
I love this app although you can't look up a particular song. It only gives you similar songs, although you might get lucky and your song will play on the station. Also there's too many adds. They do this because they are trying to make you want to pay money for no commercials.
I would love an option in the app to not play radio edits and live versions. I don't think radio edits and all other versions of a song are the same and shouldn't all be thumbed up when one version is thumbed up. Other than that I feel it is worth the monthly fee to not have adds but should also have unlimited skips not just more. Overall a good music streamer though.
Low music volume, high ads volume That's a dirty way to make you pay to get rid of ads. If you select classical or relaxing music is because you want to calm down and relax. The Pandora starts to play and you notice the volume is tooooo low. What you do? Increase volume. But suddenly the ads come 2 or 3 times louder than the music. Irritating, frustrating, annoying and a dirty trick to make you get angry and buy subscription. That's a old complain that Pandora never fix. Why? Because it's strategy.
Pabdora review 4 stars as I'm generally satisfied. I'm mystified, however, by some of the music selections offered on Toddler Radio including those that I would expect on a tock, pop or other adult station. Same thing happen sometimes on related stations for the under 7 set.
used to be great but I wouldn't know now I've been listening to Pandora for almost 10 years but the latest update won't work on any of my devices it just keeps asking me if I want to retry loading... way to take something that works and break it.
I always loved Pandora, but the current version will not load/connect. I have been unable to listen for a few weeks or so. I gave it time hoping it would clear up or get better, but it hasn't so I'm finally deleting. I really like it, so I may try again in the future, but for right now I need the space so I can find another app.
Better than before The connectivity issues I experienced previously have been reduced with a recent update. I still have a problem that occurs very regularly though. When listening to Korean music, I only want to listen to Korean music. But Pandora will choose practically everything but for a long string of songs. That's about it and its just me being picky.
New Album Artwork, Same Old Songs I enjoy Pandora from time to time to listen to music I don't have on mp3 yet. Sometimes I listen to new bands, but sometimes I like bands that have been around for a while and still come out with new material. However, Pandora has a hard time playing the new songs. The ads are also a little on the heavy side.
I just upgraded to Pandora One and I love it. I only pay $4.99 per month for ad free music. I have seen quite few complaints about the app "cutting out" or it stops working; personally I have only had those issues with a weak wifi connection and/or if I enter a "dead zone" for cell service.
What happened Pandora used to be decent, but now it's constantly crashing. I've re-downloaded multiple times and it doesn't work. I can't use it unless I'm connected to WiFi or it buffers the entire time, it sucks because I used to enjoy Pandora at one point but now it's just 1 huge ad.
Unreal. When casting through Google Home (or whatever they call it this week) all songs become censored. I've brought this up repeatedly to Pandora and they assure me they are working on it. After 8 months they still have not fixed it. Unacceptable for something I'm paying good money for.
Buffering??? TERRIBLE Since the new update, my station plays one song and then buffers!!! I have tried to reinstall the app 3x's nothing helped! This is AWFUL. Please fix this issue, it seems as though every update is worse than the last. DO BETTER!
Update From 2016 I first rated Pandora in 2011. The reality is that the landscape of music streaming has changed, and as such Pandora has changed with the times. Especially with the advent of Spotify, the competition is greater than ever. And, to top it all off, record companies want a larger piece of the pie. And, if they don't get it, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Unfortunately that means an increase in ads and marketing toward paid services, but at this point in time that's the only way to stay solvent.
Crash & Ads The app is trash 90% of the time lol. I also find it amusing how if you thumbs down or skip 2-3 songs back to back the station will completely crash and become unavailable for an unknown amount of time. Best believe they will get those ads in though. Bottom like Pandora 5 years ago was awesome, now it sucks.
Too many ads This used to be the greatest music app ever! Listened to it for years! I understand you want people to subscribe, but an ad/commercial (sometimes 2 or 3) every 2 songs is absolutely ridiculous. Bring back the old Pandora that rocked!!
Ads I understand that to make money, they need ads. But now they're shoving the ads down our throats. They are always pestering you to pay for a better version. It seems like you get less skips as well. It has a great selection of music, but now this app is just annoying. I recommend YouTube because their ads usually don't last as long and because you can pick, skip, and replay the song whenever you want.
Buffering.....buffering.... All it ever does is play one song then buffer for eternity. Unless i close the app all the way and reopen it, it will never play the next song. Not fun while driving. I see a lot of people said the same thing I just did. I wonder do they have sprint too?
Wont load any music at all Keeps popping up saying sorry, we can't find any more songs here please try a different station. Says that on every station. Was working just fine before it updated a few days ago..
Used to be the best I loved Pandora, but then they started with all these extra ads. But that's not what ruined it. It's because now I can't listen to my music in other apps, please fix this so I can enjoy your app once again.
I feel like there are more ads than it used to have. I don't get if Pandora Plus has just more skips or unlimited since it tells you both (those are two different things). Pandora Plus is $5.45 not $4.99 (at least for me) it's not about the difference but it should specify how much it cost. Since I got Pandora (since 2011) I still can't play it outside the U.S. which makes a better idea to get anorher app which you can use everywhere else. I think I'm uninstalling it because of those 3 things and because I think I do more with other similar app. Sorry.
I signed up for the 7 day trial, but in all reality it's a 6 day trial. They will get you on the 7th day. So don't be fooled by Pandora. They are liars and WILL without hesitation take your money. I canceled mine on the 7th day because it wasn't what I thought it was (offline mode) and they have charged me for it. Don't be fooled it's not all it's cracked up to be.
