I have insomnia too. I am naturally a night owl. I haven't tried ambient, that is a good idea. I have tried classical, but I would probably be better with making my own playlist with Moonlight sonata, or Strauss, lest risk having a heart attack when some cymbals crash or something. I usually don't have a problem with it on any other device, BUT the fire or a phone when I am mobile. I have since given up on the phone. I have the paid subscription, and it seems every time I go to leave the app fails and really puts me in a bind, because I loathe public radio so much. Redownloading the app and any genre playlist is time consuming. I am kind of caught in between apps. I don't really want to invest procuring a musical library AGAIN on an app that keeps failing. It is almost like I am suffering from lost cost fallacy, but I am almost ready to cut loose. Regardless, You have a good idea there with the skin choice. Customization, even if preloads, would be sweet. Also, good luck with sleeping. I hope you find a remedy.  ... View more

I am having the same issue. I really like Pandora, but I am not going to continue deleting the app and redownloading my playlists and songs and stations every other day because the app decides it does not want to connect.

I will give you a little more time, but if you cannot fix the problem I am going to cancel and find another service. This is the second day in a row this week that I am having to reinstall the app.  This is so frustrating! I need to be able to leave now, not wait until the app downloads again! Then download a playlist, again! I would have 3 months ago had I not invested so much time collecting songs on Pandora. Moderator Edit: Format ... View more
