Ideas: App for Garmin Connect IQ

[kellyjdahlke]

I just purchased a Garmin Forerunner 245 Music and was so disappointed that Spotify has an app for Garmin but Pandora does not. When I started running, I specifically chose Pandora premium because I prefer you over Spotify. I had to purchase a Spotify premium account so that I can listen to music on my new running watch. PLEASE create a Garmin compatible app so that I don't have to completely switch to Spotify. Thanks!

+1 - How is this not done yet? I guess I need to look into Spotify for now, hopefully I don't have to switch over.

This isn't just Pandora "making an app" for Garmin. Presumably, this comes down to licensing fees and agreements between Garmin and Pandora and the content owners. It's a much more complex issue and we would have no way of knowing who is "holding out".

I’m about to drop Pandora for Spotify if you don’t produce an app for Garmin watches.  I see many others have requested this and there’s still no app.  I refuse to pay for two music apps.  You’ve been warned.

Garmin makes a superior device.  I had a Fitbit along  with a pandora premium account until the Fitbit started acting funny.  Replaced it with a garmin forerunner and  sadly I had to cancel my pandora premium account and sign up with spotify.  Would have preferred to stay with pandora.  Hope there is something in the  works to make this happen.   I'm also an XM radio subscriber, would be bonus to bring that over somehow.

Same here, please add pandora to garmin

I've begin the switch to Spotify! Honestly, the UX is better there. The algorithm isn't as good but it's available everywhere with apps for every device I've come across, including the garmin watches. This year will be my last yearly family subscription. Good luck all!

Me too.  Just got the Forerunner 245 Music.  It only supports Spotify. 

I've been with Pandora since 2001, but seriously considering jumping to Spotify so I can use my watch to listen to music while running.  

Pandora - please link up with Garmin!!!
