Honestly, I was paying for the premium highest plan offered by Pandora, but I canceled, as quite candidly speaking, I vehemently refuse to continue supporting a music service which quite obviously doesn't give a rat's behind to fix the problem. Why I say they don't care, you ask? Well, think about it logically, people. This doesn't take rocket science to understand my logic of thinking. It's been now, what... over 3 years, possibly even more since this problem first cropped up? We've all written Pandora, given links to playlists, done all the typical trouble-shooting steps they want you to do like reboot the phone, put the phone in your oatmeal and feed it to your pet dinosaur, just kidding, but seriously... I mean come on! All we ever anymore these days get from Pandora support is your very generic generalized oh I'm sorry this isn't working, send us this playlist, oh, I'm sorry, we'll look into it, blah blah blah. Yeah, you'll look into it... Sure you all will! Three years out, and it's still broken both on iOS and on Android, and come to think of it, even on Fire OS? I don't mean to be disrespectful or a troll here, really I don't, but seriously, look at the history of things in this forum thread. It's evident that people have been having this issue for not just a little time here, but significantly for quite some time. I could see it if it had only been half a year, even upwards of a full year I could accept. Sometimes pinpointing down the cause can be like finding a needle in a haystack. Trust me, as a software developer myself, I totally get it; really, I do! But if you can't fix a problem in a 3 year period on the other hand, then something's wrong... dead wrong! At that point, if I kept getting complaints from my customers, I'd be looking at this point at restructuring my development team. Now yeah, that's costs money, I get it, and that's another forum discussion entirely, so I won't go down that rabbit hole here, don't worry, but it just seems very apparent that if Pandora truly really cared as much as they say they do, and again, I mean no offense by this, bluntly speaking if I may, they would be hugely more committed to solving this **ahem** issue once and for all to the best of their ability rather than just asking people to do the same dad gummed things over and over again and again expecting it to produce and harvest different results. That's just not a realistic way of thinking, especially not this far out in time. So, until I can hear that Pandora not only fixed the issue, but is for once going to start listening like they did in the early 200's when they actually were doing well, I flat out refuse to use them for free service, and I certainly even more so refuse to give them a single penny for work they're not making any efforts towards fixing. Just my two cents worth. You can either take it or leave it but please don't badger me about being a troll, as that's absolutely not at all my intentions! I'm simply just stating my feelings, and if that's wrong, then I frankly don't know what to tell ya.
