I am having a problem with offline stations disappearing. Before a camping trip, I downloaded 6 stations to my iPhone 8 for offline listening. Internet access was sporadic and unreliable. I would mostly keep the phone in airplane mode to save batteries. A couple of times each day I would exit airplane mode to check to see if any texts or email could be retrieved.
While offline listening at night (in airplane mode), it would play 2.5 songs, then stop. I would unlock the phone and press play. Songs would start again, playing 2.5 songs before stopping again. I would unlock the phone and press play. Instead of playing a song, it would delete the offline station. In one night, all my offline stations had been deleted.
After arriving home, I deleted and reinstalled Pandora. Before my next camping trip I downloaded 14 offline stations, as insurance. On my next camping trip, the conditions also had sporadic and unreliable internet. My phone was mostly left in airplane mode to save on battery use.
Now, the stations would play beyond 2.5 songs, but would often delete after turning off then on airplane mode, to check messages. Also when viewing offline stations, they would often delete as I viewed. In 3 days I had lost all my stations again. I had to drive into a town to get reliable internet service to re-download my stations. Returning back to camp, the stations slowly disappeared again.
This needs to be sorted out promptly, as the current offline station listening is close to useless.
