👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 I'm sorry - but the Mac OS X Pandora player is absolutely TERRIBLE. I used to use the old Adobe Air mini player. But I made the fatal mistake of upgrading to Mac OS X Catalina. That killed support for 32 bit apps - including Adobe Air. I'm running the 15.0.3 version of the Pandora app. The layout is awful. But that's a by-product of using a Material Design based framework. Material Design is the anti-Usability pattern for modern applications. Brain dead easy for an untrained engineer to slap together a UX, but completely opposite of all principles of Usability. May the stupidity around this UI/UX "design" come to a grinding halt SOON! With the 15.0.3 version of the player - there are MANY problems beyond just the usability faults of Material Design apps. FATAL FLAW Consumes WELL over 18% of the CPU when not even actively playing songs - 2x helpers, one at 11.5 to 13% on average, the second at 2.5 to 4%, then the main Pandora app at 4.5 to 5.0 % CPU consumption - NOT EVEN PLAYING !!! (see screen shot below - NOTE, NOTHING playing !!!) The app won't shrink very much - the smallest size I can make it is about 6x larger than the old Adobe Air based player - that's ridiculous The interface design is unfriendly - and mostly riddled with the failures systemic to Material Design barf When opening up, it does not remember the windows previous size or location when it was closed - meaning I constantly have to resize and place it on my desktop every time I open it Because it snarfles up CPU like mad - I have to close it all the time now - exacerbating the above problem When it minimizes, it creates a second minimized icon in my Dock bar - the old Adobe Air based icon never did that Since the app is so busy sucking CPU cycles uselessly, it seems to respond relatively slowly to user in put - for example, hitting "Play/Pause"; there is a noticeable lag between clicking the button and the reaction of the App (eg start Playing or Pause playing) CPU Utilization WHEN NOT EVEN PLAYING !! CPU Usage - when not even playing !!!
