I've always thought Pandora to be buggy, but this latest issue is driving me crazy and I'm about to migrate to Spotify.
iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 16.4.1(a)
Pandora ver 2305.2
I listen to Pandora quite a bit with my phone in airplane mode, and the app in off-line mode. (I fly a lot). This has always worked, more or less, ok. Some repetition issues, but otherwise ok.
Most recent iOS update has ruined off-line mode.
Now, when app goes into off-line mode (either automatically or manually), the audio will stop playing when the phone's screen is turned off (either manually or times out).
When you press a button to turn the phones screen back on, the audio will resume on the lock screen, albeit one track further down the playlist. Turning the screen off again will, again, stop the audio.
When the app has a data connection, the audio will continue to play when the screen goes off.
To clarify, this is not an issue of the audio stopping when the phone is just locked. It plays from the lock screen just fine. Its when the phone goes dark that it stops.
I have dug through all the settings of the app and the phone with no luck
