    now how in the world is it good design to disable pause functionality when a song starts buffering in the middle? even when it buffers enough and starts playing again, the pause button no longer works. who thought this was a good idea? or are you vibe coding updates with unreliable AI without human oversight?

    OFFERS WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR. AND WHEN YOU WANT TO HEAR IT. ADDS FOR THE USE? I ASSUME ARE NECESSARY FOR FREE LISTENING. APP DOES WANT TO OPERATE IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN YOU ARE NOT USEING IT. ALWAYS NECESSARY FOR ME TO FORCE IT TO SHUTDOWN IN BACKGROUND.

    been a customer since the beginning of time. I loved the price I loved the stations, creating my own custom playlists, and having music when I have no wifi; however if they keep raising their prices I'm going to have to deactivate my account. first it went up by a dollar now it's going up by two dollars before you know it their prices will be just as expensive as Spotify or the other streaming apps, which doesn't make it special anymore and therefore will make their app obsolete!

    Always found the app confusing. Now you want to raise the price during a time when food and gas prices are at record highs. No thanks!!! I already have YouTube music and Amazon music free, so goodbye Pandora

    for the price (that just increased again), you would expect more variety, less buffering and less crashes... my app (currently up to date) crashes about every 3rd-5th song and I need to restart. every time I have to restart the app, it goes back to the main screen and I miss the song I was listening to. sometimes it will go to play a song, but then just skip it... and if you try to replay it, it will start to load the song, then skip it again...
