Accessing Pandora from the pull down notification area

[Elie]

Hi there,

When I want to to pause/start/stop Pandora, I have to find the app in one of the buried screens, which is annoying and time-consuming after a while. Other similar apps can be accessed simply by swiping down the notification area and seeing a mini control set of buttons (i.e. start, stop, pause) for the app. 

I haven't found any sitting that allows me to control this behavior.

This is on Samsung Galaxy s8.

Help!

Hey there, @Elie. 👋

Sounds like you might be missing the widget for the Pandora app, which may look something like this:

Widgets will disappear and become inoperable if installed to the SD card.You will need to keep the app installed to the phone's local memory and the widget should work fine.

Let me know if this helps! 🎧

Thank you for the quick reply.

My app was actually on the device and not on the SD card so that was not the reason for the problem. However, I proceeded uninstall Pandora, restart my phone then reinstall it and now it works!

Thanks again!

No problem at all, @Elie. Glad to hear you're back up and running.

Please don't hesitate to post on the community if anything else pops up.

In the meantime, enjoy the tunes! 🎶
