2026-07-16	Jo*****	the variety and amount of music I am able to choose from and when it comes to curative stations with the ability to add or remove artists and more specific particular songs makes me a dedicated PANDORA user on my Smart Phone, vehicle, Smart TV. I always know I'm going to have the right music for the right feelings.

2026-07-16	Ta*****	Had to uninstall because the ads I got from Pandora during my games auto opened the app and kicked me from my game repeatedly. Fix your ads. If the x is that difficult to hit you're doing it wrong.

2026-07-15	Ke*****	for me, something changed with app and now has to have unrestricted battery access to continuously play songs. uses huge amount of battery when not even listening. have to start each song manually. I listen to the stupid ads, I should be able to at least listen to songs without having to start each song manually. this is Pandora folks being aholes so I do not recommend and I will delete.
