Hey there, @Kimberlykajira. 👋

Thanks so much for posting your device details. Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

If you're using your Galaxy S21 to access Pandora from your mobile browser, you'll be redirected to the Pandora app instead. Unfortunately, we do not support Pandora on mobile browsers.

Are you receiving any error messages when the app crashes at launch?

Let me know, and I can report this over to our engineering team on your behalf. 🎧

[Kimberlykajira]

No, I normally access the Pandora through the app but tried off internet as a back up resort. 

When I select the app, the p flashes and nothing else...

Thank you

Hi, In mid November my Galaxy S21 on Verizon was updated to android 12. around that same time Pandora became very unstable. It sometimes does not open when i tap the icon (specifically, the "P" symbol flashes but closes instantly). Occasionally it will open with no issues. Strangely, sometimes  I can try to open it multiple times with no success, but when i long-press and select a station from the menu it will open.. I saw a similar question and a reply asked for the following info. (and yes, i have cleared cache, cleared data, and uninstalled/reinstalled).

• Model: Samsung Galaxy S21
• Carrier: Verizon Wireless
• Android version (Settings > About Phone): 12
• Build number (Settings > About Phone): SP1A.210812.016.G991USQU4BUKF
• Android Security Patch Level, if noted on your device (Settings > About Phone): Nov 1, 2021
• Pandora version:
  • If you can open Pandora, go to Profile, then select Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the screen for the version number. 2112.1 (ANDROID-TURNER 21121009)

Are you connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data when this is happening? It seems to do it on both.

I got a new phone (S21) a little over a month ago. Ever since then my Pandora app crashes as soon as I try to open it. I got an error message that the app has a bug and the creator needs to fix it with an update. That was a month ago and it's still the same thing. I've done everything. Rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, went thru the website, signed in, changed my password, signed out, rebooted. Nothing is working. I love Pandora but I'm about to cancel my subscription and go to a different music app. I don't know what else to do but I do know I'm tired of paying for an app that I can't even use.

You could try out the general troubleshooting steps while I have a trace enabled on your Pandora account: Android Troubleshooting

I'd like to share your experience with our team. Would you mind sharing more details?

• Android version (Settings > About Phone):
• Have you received any error messages when you attempt to launch the Pandora app? If so, what does it say?

Hey, as one of the original reporters, I just wanted to update... the problem is no longer happening on my galaxy s21 with verizon! i'm not sure if it was a pandora update or android and i can't pinpoint the exact timing, but i think it was an android update that did it because i was seeing similar things on other apps like textra, as well as laggy scrolling issues. all are now gone. unfortunately it seems like people are still seeing this, so hopefully i just got the update earlier than you. but there is hope!

[AlyssaPandora]

Thanks for confirming, @mick7hp. It sounds like this may have occurred when updating to Android 12. In the meantime, I appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience. 👍

[lisalooove4]

Glad yours is working Mick. Mine still is not. This will be the last month I pay for something I can't even use. Going on 3 months now. Don't understand why it's taking so long to fix a glitch that thousands of people are having.

My S21+ started doing this this morning. It was working fine yesterday. Now I'm getting the same message that the app has a bug
