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.
Heyy hope all of you guys are having an awesome day! I just want to start off by saying I love this app so much, the only thing I would change is less ads. When I listen to my music (Tay Tay) after I finish a song there’s an ad and im like ok I’ll just wait a sec and press the button to skip it then I play another song and after there’s ANOTHER ad and this process happens a couple more times then I just start to read a book. My point is I don’t really love all the ads I kinda just want to listen to my music. Another thing I would like to add is I’m considering the music career and I was trying to see if there was a way to like add a song I kinda drafted to my profile but o don’t think I can do that which Ig is kinda frustrating sorta. Anyway just a suggestion I don’t really mind if you don’t add that but yea. Also I just thought of this but when I put together a playlist of my favorite Taylor swift songs I play it then wen in like cleaning and I reach the end of my playlist it starts playing songs like from my Taylor station and I kinda just want it to start over. Just a little thing that bothers me sometimes but not a big deal.Thank you so much for reading my review I hope you take these suggestions into thought!-just another swiftie 🫶
I think Pandora is a good app but the only problems are that it only plays the same three ads! They’re all vaping ads saying that you shouldn’t vape because it will ruin your body. I completely agree with that statement! As a thirteen year old, I would never vape! It IS bad for your body! Don’t get me wrong, I’m very glad that ads like this exist, but they get annoying! I have these ads memorized at this point because there’s only a few! The other problem is that I will play an album by an artist that I like and it will play about seven songs. After those seven songs, it switches to something completely different that I don’t want to listen to! I wanna listen to the album that I was playing, not some random other genre that I hate! I also don’t love how I have to add a certain amount of artists to make a new station. I only listen to Taylor Swift. That’s it! I have a Taylor Swift station, but half the time it’s playing other songs I don’t like! So to improve the Pandora app, I would put more ads on so people don’t get sick of them, OR I would just get rid of all ads. Nobody likes ads. All they do is get your app less use. I would also let people make stations with what THEY want. Adding onto that, I would very much recommend fixing that bug I mentioned where it only plays a few songs on an album before it switches to something completely different. I love Pandora, but some parts of it could DEFINITELY be fixed!
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!!
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
So, I was shown a button that allowed me to get an hour of uninterrupted listening time. This usually works, but I’ve encountered a minor problem. The video is only 5 seconds long. Seeing that you must watch a 15 second video to receive this reward, it doesn’t work. Maybe instead of slapping a random ad in for your users to watch, you can choose the ones you want to put in. Then you (and your users) wouldn’t have this problem. Please fix this, because it is an inconvenience to what is supposed to be a convenient music app. After you guys handle that, I’ll make it 5 stars. Thanks much! EDIT: I found another thing that’s broken. I went to click on the one hour of uninterrupted listening and I watched an ad (a proper 15 seconds long, as well) and it didn’t work. I got a dim screen with a pop up that said “Something has gone wrong.” I go to click a song to watch an ad to see if THAT works, and I’ll let you guess what happened next. As your BROKEN APP says, “Something has gone wrong.”For the love of god, FIX YOUR APP! I’m not trying to sound like a negative P O S, but I’m all honesty, your app is getting worse and worse every update. Once again, Thanks much (if you take the time to fix your app, that is) More edits to come, don’t worry :)
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 🤗.
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
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.
