iOS: Do I need to download offline content to each individual device?

I just switched to Pandora Premium and have a couple questions for downloading songs. Do I have to have Thumbprint Radio downloaded to any device I want to listen that I have downloaded? Second, some stations appear to not being downloaded, in fact, quite a few. Why is that?

@borntohike Nice to see you around the community.

Downloading Thumbprint Radio:

Yes, if you have multiple devices, you will need to download Thumbprint Radio for offline mode to each of them. Please note that offline listening was created to address cellular connection issues, so it is only available on mobile devices (not computers or other devices).

Not all stations are automatically downloaded:

To clarify, you will need to manually download any content you want to listen to in offline mode.

As a Pandora Premium subscriber, if you'd like to download content for offline listening, you can tap the icon with the arrow pointing downward. This can be found on station, album and playlist pages, or, to download a track, tap the three dots on the Now Playing screen. Keep in mind, this button will only appear for eligible tracks.

If you change your mind during any point of the downloading process, simply tap the download button again, and we'll stop and delete any downloaded content.

If you lose connection while downloading, we'll save your spot with your partially downloaded playlists, albums and stations. The next time you gain a signal, we'll attempt to complete the download process for you.

I hope this helps!
