Pandora: Music & Podcasts 12+

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.

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.

This is app is really helpful, I love how there are tons of different stations and playlists! Sadly though, j forgot my password and can’t stop the explicit stuff from playing. Instead I make stations with everyone I want and then add kidz bop to it, that will make the clean versions play instead. The only thing is that I don’t like kids bop and it’s annoying when they play their song. After a while of thumbing down their songs it stops playing on that station. I wish we didn’t have to put in our password to change it to not explicit. I could understand having a password for parents and their kids using this app to not turn on explicit stuff, but really no need for the other way around. If their was more than thumbs up and thumbs down that would be great. If u thumb a song and keep it thumbed up for a long time, it will play that 3 times a day, I wish it didn’t because I like the song but three times a day is a lot for that one song. Everything’s else about this app is great! You can make stations with different artists you like, make playlists, and it shows you your top 20 music artists. It’s a really helpful app. I would recommend getting this app.

Ty, if you read this whole thing 🤗.
