Automotive: Pandora crashes and freezes during ads

[Kat10]

I know others have had this problem in the past. I’ve used Pandora for years In my Subaru but now in 2023 it periodically freezes near end of ads. Still frozen when no longer using in car & have turned iPhone on & off. End up removing and reinstalling app to use again. Why hasn’t Pandora fixed this issue that users posted about 3 years ago?

I am having same problem but not using a beta version. Even after installing iOS 17.1.1. This issue has not been resolved with latest version of Pandora.

Has Pandora solved this problem that’s happening across many platforms! It’s extremely frustrating to have to pull off the road and try to get Pandora to restart after pausing during ads. It’s been intermittently been happening for some time.
