Pandora Widget uses so much battery and data

Why does the Pandora Widget use so much battery and data when my Spotify Widget hardly uses any?

Hey @crashdisk2002 Let's try some troubleshooting steps. 

From your Android Settings, please try clearing the Pandora app data using the following steps (not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you):*

Pleaste note: *Pandora Premium and Premium Family listeners may need to re-download some of their offline content after this. Pandora Plus users, however, should receive that offline content again automatically. If you have any trouble with your offline stations after this, please let us know.

1. Open your device Settings
2. Tap Apps
3. Scroll down to find Pandora
4. Select Storage
5. On the storage details page tap Clear Data.

Keep in mind that the steps for each Android device is slightly different. If you have a Pixel, you can find helpful steps here.

You will be asked to log into your account after completing these steps.

Let me know if you continue to have the same issue. Thanks for posting to community! 🎧

Didn't make any difference. I uninstalled it. I'm using the YouTube Music app. I love it!

^^^This is a great solution.  I think I'll switch music services and pay someone else. Pandora will not issue a solution to this problem.
