IPhone 11 pro

version 14.4.2

I cannot get into the app far enough to see what version my Pandora is, as it crashes immediately.

I am connected to cellular and Wi-Fi, I was using it at the gym the other day and it was working fine, when I left the gym and when to use it on the Bluetooth in my car that is when it started crashing. Thinking it could be the system in my car making it glitch I tried it at home on Wi-Fi and it still kept crashing, so my car system wasn't the issue. I have tried every which way to get the app to just open but it won't. Opens to the blue blank screen and closes.

@ChelseaM Thanks for providing those details.

I know that you've tried uninstalling / reinstalling.

Could you clarify whether you also tried turning your phone on / off again?

Also, do any error messages pop up when it crashes / closes or just the blank blue screen?

In the meantime, I will share this with our engineering team on an internal ticket. 🎧

I have tried a few times, and yes just a blank blue screen for maybe 2 seconds then it closes

@ChelseaM Thanks so much for your help with that info. I've definitely passed this along to our engineering team for further review.

Appreciate your patience while they look into this. 🎧

Crashing on iOS

Listener001 — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 11:32:33 GMT

I’m just curious if anybody’s had problems using Pandora on iOS? Pandora definitely answers all the questions as far as the functionality and how to install it however I was curious if anybody has experience crashes with the app?

I am using Pandora on my iPhone 11, with no problems. Make sure the app is updated, than uninstall and reinstall the app to see if that helps. Good luck

I am having a similar issue on my iPhone 12. I start the app then halfway through the first song it force quits. Once I restart it stays on like normal. Happens every time! Please help

I have had the same issue with my Iphone 12 since I got it and the Iphone 7 before that. I have just dealt with it since it works fine after I reopen it. I guess I just thought Apple or Pandora would release an update to fix it and here I am years later and still reopening the app after it crashes 30 seconds into the first song.

Hi @Kntry777! Welcome to community, thanks for posting your experience. Sorry to hear this is happening.

Can you tell me a little more about your experience? Are you connected to any other devices when Pandora crashes, such a bluetooth speaker or in-home device?

In the meantime, I'm happy to pass this along for further review and investigation. Can you let me know your iOS version and Pandora version?

Thanks for the help!

I am having the same issue. I opened a case with Pandora help 9 days ago. They said they were going to refer it to their engineers, which seems to be the common response, but no one has gotten back to me. I have done all of the troubleshooting multiple times: sign out of Pandora, delete the app, shut off my phone, turn phone back on, reinstall app, and sign back in. It will sometimes work for a day or so, then goes back to crashing within 30 seconds of playing a song. My case # is 05589402. If no one from Pandora gets back to me in the next 3 days, I will be unsubscribing and requesting a refund.

I too have this issue. It's happened for months. However it's only when I use airpods. When I connect to my car or a speaker via Bluetooth, all is fine. Apple music works fine so I'll probably just move over to that instead.
