Ideas: Non-Windows Store Windows Desktop App

[Sidus]

Between organizations that block access to the Windows App Store and people who just don't want to use it (which is many), there needs to be a stand-alone version of the Windows Pandora app for download.

Bit of a massive oversight, to be honest.

Please and thank you!

would love this option as my workplace doesn't allow us to download from the store.

I'm in the same boat.  Seems ridiculous that this hasn't been resolved in 2 years.

You can use Edge to install pandora.com as an Application.

Pro Tip: if you're using Chrome as your browser, you can "save a shortcut" to a website, which lets it open in a new stand-alone browser window.

1. Go to the 3-dot menu next to your profile icon, under the X that will close the browser window.
2. Go down to More Tools and click Create Shortcut.
3. Check the box for "Open as Window" and then click "Create".

You can then pin this to the taskbar if you want.

Sorry, I don't use Firefox much, so I'm not sure if there's an equivalent method for that browser.

Enjoy!

This is a real issue.  I am a premium user but am tempted to move to another provider since I can't control Pandora with my keyboard (Logitech, not some no name brand).  This is a must have for all of us that use Pandora at work.

Yes!

Please include a non MS store version.

Don't let their BS full you. Its all BS to give you the run around because its being purposely done. So many people with same exact error is not a bug or problem, its purposely done. Microsoft does shaddy things nowadays since Gates took off. The solution is to take Microsoft out of the picture.

We downloaded a program called BlueStacks and then installed Pandora directly from Google Play Store and it works fine. BlueStacks is basically an Android emulator that allows you to download and install Android apps onto your Windows Operating System. And it works fine!
