Thanks Austin, I appreciate your feedback and totally concur. I too work in IT for the past 30 years, in the cyber-security area. Further to my last details, I have far more important connections running that really rely on un-interrupted internet/network connections... none of them show disconnections. I am fairly certain that something in the app is not set properly, maybe some memory management. After cancelling my Pandora subscription last week I have signed up with Spotify Premium Duo and Apple Music (3-months trial; never used either of them, always had Pandora).  Neither of them have stopped playing, Spotify has now been going for days. Even though Spotify is pretty good, I do miss the simplicity of Pandora... thumbs up, thumbs down and my stations. Anyway, if Pandora finds something I can try, send me a message. I do miss Pandora. Cheers, K ... View more

Thank you Alyssa, I really appreciate your support. Feel free to keep me posted if you find out what it might be. However, since my subscription was coming up for renewal at the end of January, I have decided to cancel my Pandora membership.   Thank you for your efforts. K ... View more

Thank you Alyssa, Forgive me, but that's an easy way out for Pandora saying 'VPN connections are not supported'. I have tested it with different VPN destinations and providers. VPN or not... How do you explain that it works well for days after the app is re-installed... and previously has worked well for years. I mean, I have been a Pandora customer for more than 10 years. Thanks for your support. K ... View more

Further to the above... I decided to temporarily move the Pandora-playing iPhone connecting it directly to the 'distribution-point' to the amps via its 3.5mm audio jack. No more Apple TV and no more Airplay as possible culprit. So far I had to open Pandora four times today in order to continue listening to music... It stops every hour or so. While the app is still running, it has moved into the background. Usually upon pressing the home button it would be right there... once selecting the app, it comes up and starts playing a new song... as i am writing this, pandora stopped again. I took the opportunity to take a video of how it looks in this state... OneDrive Link to video  Any suggestions?         ... View more

Hey Adam, thank you for your swift response. It is much appreciated. We use Pandora only over AirPlay in our house. It’s an older iPhone dedicated as our music player. It plays to an Apple TV Gen3 (A1427), which then distributes the audio to multiple amps throughout the house via analogue audio connections. The Pandora version is 2310.1.1. Reinstalled multiple times (last time 01/01/2024, still running ok at the time of writing this message). The device is connected to Wifi only (no SIM installed). Apple TV OS 7.9 (8163) (latest); The Apple TV is hard wired to the network. Wifi is a selfhosted Unifi UAP AC IW Pro (Network version 8.0.24), approximately a meter away. Broadband is a 210Mbps HFC connection managed by a pfsense 2.7.2 software router running on Proxmox host. Any device within the local network is always using a VPN. I have tested various VPN locations and providers. The VPN for Pandora was set up within pfsense as well as via an app on the Pandora phone itself (most recent setup). As mentioned, this has worked for many years and only in the past few months we have had these issues. No exact time frame, sorry. Other patterns. A schedule is setup on the phone to open Pandora and playing one of our selected stations, followed by an immediate automation setting the AirPlay destination to the designated Apple TV every day at 0600hrs. Then it would play music until we go to bed. During those days of playing music Pandora would randomly stop playing. After a re-installation, Pandora would work properly for a day or two until we experience the interruptions again. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions… Thanks for your time. K ...

I am having the same issue as so many others had previously. The music stops playing after an hour or so. App still running... have to open app and hit play. iPhone 6s, iOS 15.8. It's a dedicated device only for playing Pandora in the house AirPlaying to an AppleTV 3. The iPhone is not running anything else. For a few months now it has shown this annoying behaviour. It used to work for many years, playing music all day. The app does not disappear/crash, but it stops playing music. I have to open the app and hit the play button for it to continue. It's about an hour or a little more until it does it again. After a few searches here and there is was suggested to clear cache or reinstalling the app. Cache clearing doesn't seem to be a feature on iOS. Removing the application or resetting the phone only solves the issue for a day or two. Then it goes back to this behaviour. My renewal is up this in a few days… after many years of being a pandora user it has gotten really annoying. Is there anything else i can try? Thanks K   ... View more
