iOS: App Doesn't Open / Load

[dtrebor87]

For some reason my pandora apps will not open up on Iphone 12. I have check for software updates and still nothing. Why am I paying for service to listen to music from iphone 12 and bluetooth to my vehicle. Can someone tell me what to do? I have rebooted the iphone and still nothing.

Hi, @dtrebor87. 👋

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble opening the Pandora app. Thanks for reporting your experience.

Could you share more about what you've noticed?

• When you attempt to launch the Pandora app on your iPhone 12, what happens? Is there a blank screen?
• Have any error messages popped up? If so, what exactly does it say?
• Have you noticed any "Buffering..." messages?

Cannot log in or use Pandora on iPhone...have used it for years!  I've tried everything.  Anyone else??  I checked my settings.  Should be no reason...this happened a few weeks ago...use TV mostly for it, but have never had problem before, never changed anything.

Hi there, @huettel. 👋

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Pandora app loading on your iPhone. Let's try some troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve the issue.

First, I recommend rebooting the device by shutting it down entirely, then turning it back on and trying Pandora again.

++

If you're still having issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app (not to worry, we'll keep track of your profile and collection for you).* To do that:

1. Hold down the Pandora icon on your Home screen until all the icons start "shaking."
2. Then tap - in the upper left of the Pandora icon, and confirm that you want to Delete app.
3. Then re-install Pandora via the App Store on your device.

*Please note: Pandora Premium and Premium Family listeners may need to re-download some of their offline content after reinstalling the app. Pandora Plus users, however, should receive that offline content again automatically. If you have any trouble with your offline stations after reinstalling, please let us know.

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. 🎧

I can’t open it on my iOS iPhone. I click the button and it just blinks on the screen and nothing opens 

I have deleted and redownloaded the app several times no change 

I want pandora. This bums me out

I am having the same issue.  I try to open Pandora app and the screen comes up for a second, blank, then gos away.  I have turned my iPhone 12 off an on multiple time and the app does not give me a delete option even from the App Library page.  This has gone on for well over a month now, I just haven’t had time to deal with it until now. 😡

[dtrebor87]

Just delete apps and re installed. That should help..

Hello, I've deleted the cache and uploaded the app numerous times. I changed the password for both devices, iPhone 15promax and MacBook Pro (the app is working), but it won't load up on my phone or in my car play, even after doing the above. I do not see an update anywhere, so I have no idea what to do. Please. Can you help?

It’s working now. I turned phone off and it started back up. I had deleted the app numerous times and delete caches. But did not think to turn phone off and turn back on. Thx to support. It works now. 
 PS: if deleted cache and app, reinstalling the app and still does not work, turn phone completely off for 10-15 seconds and turn back on—-the app should work again. I did that and it works now.
