Did anyone else get their year in review?

Playback 24 was complete trash. Honestly, I would rather have gotten nothing than what we were given. Such a disappointment.

Yes, many platforms and apps are rolling out their "Year in Review" features! Whether it's Spotify Wrapped, YouTube Recap, or others, it's always fun to see highlights from the year. Did you get yours? Which one are you checking out?

That's the most insane design I've ever heard of. I can only assume it's a mistake that you don't want to spend time fixing and rolling back. Instead you spent valuable engineering hours on a feature only a small fraction of your userbase will ever see. Incredible.

It has popped up randomly for me multiple times when opening the app.

Pandora I saw my end of year stats, but they would love to see them again. How do I do that?

You can get it to pop back up. The same thing happened to me But I went to my For you page and waited. After a few minutes, it popped back up and I screenshot it. Iโ€™ve been able to view at four different times now using that method. Hope that helps

Email notifications on? Check.

Push notifications on? Check.

No email, no notification, no pop-up, nothing.  Granted, I use my Pandora mostly on my Xbox.  Regardless, not having a dedicated section to view it? Is pandora seriously down that bad they don't even have devs to implement a UI banner when you open the app with a link to your stats? Seriously? Maybe this is all just a ploy to say, "Hey! We gave you the year end stats!" Even though it sounds and looks like the year end stats are subpar, at best.  I gave in before and came back to Pandora recently (~5 months ago).  What a shame that the ambition for this service is to plug it into Life-Support and dust their hands off as if they've made a perfect product.  Just go ahead and sell the service off to someone who will make better use of it.  This time I am done.  Even though I enjoy the product, it's overpriced and underdeveloped and whoever is in charge cares so little about customer retention or acquisition that they can't even properly allot dev time to recall a pop-up notification, let alone curate a proper year stat portfolio like they once had (before they apparently ran the single dev off who developed it).

 

Good riddance. Bye, Pandora.  Exporting my songs and heading off to Apple or YouTube.

Agree that the playback was a very sorry attempt to please listeners. No numerical stats, no variety in categories of data, no ability to share let alone even view more than once. Pandora - yall need to study spotifyโ€™s wrapped and create something similar . It cant be that hard and clearly matters a lot to listeners.

and also when listening to an album, users should get the option to continue listening by watching another ad instead of the album just turning off.

i clicked out of this not realizing what it was and i cannot for the life of me find how to get back to it. How do i open this up on the app?

that is the WILDEST design decision I have EVER heard in my life! This should NOT have been a popup. We are so used to being harassed 24/7 with meaningless popups all the time that we just X out of things as a reflex. A notification is to NOTIFY you about something. It is NOT the thing itself. This should have been a link in your profile, an option on the landing page available through December, linked to your support community page. What if you don't have notifications turned on!? you never get a summary!? who designed this, a boomer??????? why not send me a PFD in the mail. That fact that i NEVER got to look at this for one second is insane and i PAY for this service for YEARS!

I didn't have Pandora notifications turned on because I think they're inane. I turned them on when I found out Pandora was doing Playback this year. But it must have been too late because I never got a Playback. I've been a paying Pandora subscriber for almost 15 years.

For me they popped it up when I was in the middle of driving, I quickly backed out and then when I parked I tried to find it again only to find out it's gone forever. And it's not in my email. FYI PANDORA, We don't mind getting one email to our email accounts even if we have promotions disabled. We disabled them because yall never respected the email list and spammed us enough to opt out. How embarrassing. Now we want this recap feature, it's the one thing we look forward to. And you don't push that out in a convenient way. You guys are nearly out of market share, stop flopping!

"Once Playback is dismissed it cannot be viewed again." 

This is such a dumb idea. My app is constantly crashing when I first open it, sometimes it takes 3 or 4 times for it stay open, so because of this I missed Playback? Find a way to make it viewable multiple times.

My Featured playlists are not updating on my desktop version. I still have 8 Christmas themed playlists in my collection. Also, my "What you listened to in 2024" playlist is available on my phone but not on my desktop. 

On my Pandora app, I have already received the playlist "What you listened to in 2024". However, on my desktop I have not yet received it. How to receive the suggested playlist?

@Houndfan94 Can you please send me a screenshot of the "What you listened to in 2024" playlist that you are seeing on your phone?

(Please note you won't be able to attach images via email - you will need to open this Community link in a web browser in order to provide attachments)

Thanks for working with me on this.

Hello Adam and thank you for the quick response. 

 

Reading the comments section, I think I was confused. I now realize that the "What you listened to in XXXX" is a feature Pandora no longer offers. I suspect I was looking at my Amazon Music account and thought it was Amazon. As others have mentioned, I value that list and would love to have access to it, it is a bit of a time capsule - I save the lists and then listen to different years. Please correct me if I am wrong, I would welcome the list. Thanks.

@Houndfan94 Thanks so much for sharing your feedback. 

While that playlist was not featured with last year's Playback 2024, your feedback has been noted.

Hope we continue to see you around the community! :pandora:
