"This update supports continued investment in Pandora's personalized listening experience and access to the music and podcasts you love."

What a bunch of nonsense. This is a corporate scumbag money-grab. I've been paying for Pandora Premium for YEARS. And the app has BARELY changed or improved at all in that time. If this is because of Podcasts, well then I don't KNOW or CARE about podcasts because I despise listening to podcasts. I listen to music. I use this app for music. I PAY FOR MUSIC. I DO NOT PAY FOR PODCASTS.

Either you create more membership options that DO NOT INCLUDE podcasts or you are straight-up lying to our faces and this is all about your upper management's paychecks. I am seriously considering cancelling my membership because of this egregious price-hike. I hate Spotify. Spotify is for people who have a child's comprehension of music. Pandora has the best algorithm for finding music. I will move to YouTube music if that's the case.

If you're going to increase pricing you need to make it better...where's the better sound quality?

You increased the charge to what some much more robust music streaming services charge, yet you changed nothing. I've been waiting for that 320kpbs or even lossless. After what 35 years or something, I'm done. Spotify "artist" radio is now almost as good with the algorithm understanding my likes and creating personal channels. It's been real Pandora. You were good for the price I was paying but you're not at the price you think you're worth. ba-bye
