Hi Nelida I appreciate the update but if Pandora truly valued its relationship and revenue stream from their subscribers and that of the monies paid to them by their advertisers for the Pandora free subscribers then this matter would've been resolved long ago. Regrettably, that's not the case. I can only guess that Pandora is leaving the business of streaming music and cares very little for these two customer bases whose money they're still collecting. Tell me I'm wrong, tell me something other that sending me some "we're working on it" boiler plate BS. Why string us all along Kind Regards, John Strauss Moderator Edit: Personal Information ...

As explained to me by Apple, the responsibility falls on Pandora to update their systems to work with the new IOS operating systems as they are released. That said, it is still important for their partners meaning Pandora to comply with these updates. Otherwise they are not being good partners. I don’t know if pressure from Apple is the answer but social media shaming of Pandora along with the fact that Apple is perpetuating a relationship with a partner that is noncompliant to maintaining Apple’s updates as they are released might be.

When enough people cancel their subscriptions or put their subscriptions on hold is when they will take action. That or when the advertisers that pay to advertise to the free subscription, based Pandora customers realize that the audience has been cut in half… Kind Regards, John Strauss Moderator Edit: Personal Information ...

I think we're all experiencing virtually the same issue w/o being offered any updates of solutions but I have an idea:  For the paid subscribers - put your accounts on hold until this is resolved For the Free subscribers - go on social media notifying the Pandora advertisers that their add aren't being listened to due to Pandora's unwillingness to address this issue in a timely manner  ...

You'd think that IF Pandora valued its customers that it would work with its engineers and Apple to resolve this. There is something we're not seeing - some hidden agenda, possibly on Apple's end to sway business away from Pandora to their platform.

I'm sure I speak for many of us who're experiencing the same issues thanks to Pandor's failure to address IOS 18.0 but I firmly believe that even more of us don't want to hear each new member to this thread regurgitate the issues we're all experiencing and the things they've tried rather than take a moment to read the thread or even a small portion of it to understand it's all been said. I wanna hear that there's a solution to the ongoing BS or even a strategic plan to pressure Pandora to do the right thing for us in the form of monetary compensation until this issue is resolved. It's not reasonable that we've all spent considerable time attempting to fix what Pandora failed to maintain. And I'm sure that we can all agree that money is one of the best forms of motivation when there's a problem to be solved  ... View more

There is an update but not one that fixed or made any changes to my issue which I assume is "our" issue too Shame on you Pandora for not being more proactive And doesn't Apple provide advance notice to upcoming software updates to allow it's partners the time needed to make and changes should they be needed Shame on you Pandora for not being more proactive Kind Regards, John Strauss Moderator Edit: Personal Information ...

That’s actually not the case. Pandora cares email to me acknowledging my case number and the issue suggested a stop by Pandora community and or reach out to them through Facebook. Kind Regards, John Strauss Moderator Edit: Personal Information ... View more

Sadly not, Apple explained/claims that their App partners such as Pando are required to update their app software accordingly Kind Regards, John Strauss I respectfully don't have the time to read through the litany of posts from people experiencing the same issue, obviously there's a problem. What I'd appreciate is a straightforward solution to my problem as I'm sure everyone else would   Moderator Edit: Merged posts ... View more
