I’ve been using Pandora with a running app on my iPhone for years and have loved it—the music keeps playing even when the running prompts come on. But I just got an Apple Watch and the two don’t work together. I can either listen to the running prompts OR Pandora through my ear buds. The running app works fine with Apple Podcasts and Music (both can be heard at the same time) and I’ve seen that Spotify has an option to make it work if you have a premium subscription, but I can’t figure out anyway to get it to work with Pandora. I reached out to the running app developers and they say it’s an incompatibility issue. Is there any way on your (Pandora’s) end to fix this? I got the watch specifically to be able to use these two apps together and am totally bummed it doesn’t seem to work. I really don’t want to switch to Apple Music or Spotify, but will have to if that’s the only way I can get music to play while running with run prompts. ***UPDATE*** So, of course, right after I posted this, my awesome tech-minded partner figured it out! If I play from the downloads in offline mode, the music and the running prompts play well together. Yay! 😁 I hope this helps someone else, too!
