I just had a couple of quick question. You mentioned that the app will pause when the ad appears and you receive the error message.
Thanks for the help.
The ad will start the then the error message will appear shortly after with the pause, then playback will resume on its own
@ZyderZee Thanks for the follow up. @TannerPandora created a ticket with our engineering team so that we can look deeper into this issue.
Your patience is much appreciated while our team investigates this further! 👍
for most of last week I did not have any ads appearing, i figured they where disabled trying to figure out he issue, Friday afternoon the reappeared along with the same error message, just thought i should pass the info along, thanks
@ZyderZee Thanks for passing along that information. I've shared your update with engineering on the open ticket for this issue. 👍
When I have Pandora on I will get a We are experiencing technical difficulties error message. This will also give me a Pandora error message on the screen of my car audio system and shut the app down on the car. It is still working on the phone but has to be restarted on the car. It starts right back up on the same commercial as if it had been paused. This is getting g very annoying having to restart the app ever 3 or 4 songs. Is there a patch for this program glitch

went through troubleshooting steps with no resolution, here is the screen shotshot
I'm having this issue as well whenever an ad starts. The music still plays, but the notifications pile up and I have to click ok however many times ads have played to pause the station.
I'm using an Android LG G7 and G8 and it's happening on both devices. I've followed the troubleshooting steps. Quality is set to low, battery saver is off, cleared all data and cache and the issue persists.
Between this and the Spanish ads every 4-5 songs it's becoming very annoying to use this app.
Please advise.
@ZyderZee I'd like to report your issue to our engineering team. Can you send over some updated info about your device since the last time you provided it to us?
Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening?
Have you identified any other patterns or notable information?
Thanks again for all your help with this.
