Hey there, @starrberry. 👋
Sorry to hear that you're experiencing buffering during your listening sessions.
From an iOS device (iPad, iPod, iPhone) device, you'll only be able to listen to Pandora from the app -- not our web browser. You may already know this -- if you attempt to listen from a web browser, you'll be redirected to the Pandora app instead.

For your iOS device, I would recommend running through our troubleshooting steps to see if this helps with that error message you're encountering.
Feel free to keep me updated on how this goes. 🎧
