Hi @rockworm! Thanks for posting to community!
There are actually two versions of Pandora on your Roku device.
If you open the main Pandora app by navigating to the app with your remote, you'll only be able to skip tracks or play or pause the music using voice commands. However, you can perform other functions with your remote, such as searching for new content to add to your collection, or adjusting your settings.
If you instead open Pandora by pressing the microphone button on your device and request that it "Play [something from your Pandora collection] on Pandora" your Roku device will automatically open the second version of Pandora: a voice-integrated Now Playing screen with limited features but plenty of voice commands.
If you need to find new content or adjust your settings, you can always press the home button on the Roku remote to manually navigate back to the main Pandora app.
Hope this helps to explain.
