I have an iPhone 13 Pro. I am currently running the most recent update for iOS which is 17.5.1. I recently updated Pandora to the latest update after doing that, the music is constantly buffering on cellular. All of my other applications work fine including streaming and YouTube on Cellular.
The only time Pandora works ok is on j WiFi. Very frustrating canβt listen at gym or in car anymore.
I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Refreshed my network settings. Closed out of and signed back into Pandora. Turned the device on and off. Issues persist. Started this week July 12 after most recent update from App Store on Pandora. Please ππ» Help!

Also a problem for me, it's very frustrating and and I will cancel my long time subscription if it isn't fixed soon.
-Only happens on cellular data
-iPhone 13 pro on AT&T
-iOS 17.5.1
-Pandora 2406.1
-Issue happens on multiple cars using Carplay or connecting via Aux Bluetooth
-Issue happens when listening directly via headphone
-I've tried logging out/in multiple times, re-installing app multiple times, changing audio quality, connecting to Carplay via wireless or wired with no change
-Often via Carplay it displays "poor network quality" on the car screen despite having full strength and no buffering via other streaming apps
-Within the Pandora app only "buffering" appears
Once song plays, that song will be fine. It's only between songs where it's a sporadic issue.
PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ISSUE

Following up on my earlier post, the problem arises when I use Pandora in my car and a cellular connection. I have an unlimited AT&T plan. I've used Pandora for years in my cars. The problem arose a few days ago. Please see my post below for further details. Thanks.

Thanks, Alyssa. I just tested it and I have AT&T and it appears to be only in the cellular network even though it is also only pandora - my daughter played YouTube music on my phone with no issues! I will reach out to att about why theyβve decided to slow pandora when I barely use any data. Theyβve had a whole host of issues lately and this is apparently just another inability to handle their data! Thanks for all the quick replies!

Same here - it just started a couple of weeks ago. Long delays because of buffering. I have had Pandora for years. Something has change with Pandora that is causing delays and esp when you hit the button for the next song. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it. My ipnone is an Iphone 13 and its up to date. It does it with 5 bars signal strenght, 5G. If its not corrected I guess I'll have to go to Sirius
Yea same here -- works over WIFI ok, Still having problems when connected via cell service. I have 5G and full signal strength and itS buffering and may take a minute when switching to the next song. I drive all over memphis daily and its happening everywhere i go... **ahem**

Pandora is not working on my iPhone 13 Pro on cellular data. It constantly buffers. I have the Pandora premium plan, and everyone elseβs works except mine on the plan. Iβve turned my phone off several times, uninstalled the app and reinstalled, deleted the app, signed out and put in airplane mode. It still will not work. This is going on day 5. Any suggestions?

Unfortunately the network change you made did NOT fix the isssue. I have checked Pandora just now on 7/15/24 at 11:25PM Eastern time. Pandora via Wifi works flawlessly and zero buffering or delay between songs when advancing song or moving forward to next song after last one ends. However, Pandora via Cellular Data is NOT working without BUFFERING which often lasts at least a minute or more between songs.
Bottom line Cellular BUffering is NOT fixed yet. PLEASE CONTINUE TO FIX ISSUE ASAP and recommend a software update to fix most recent Pandora update that broke your app to begin with
