I personally don't think this price increase is unreasonable.  I do wish Pandora actually upgraded their UI experience on Mobile (like saving to SD card for Android).  I also wish they would actually have more license agreements with the new increase.  Having said that, I still think that even without these things, I'd stick with Pandora, because they have the best radio implementation, based upon the Music Genome project (all music categorized by humans). Maybe with the implementation of AI, this might not be as important going forward, but right now, they are the best at playing music similar to a particular song, album, or whole playlist.  One deal breaker for me could be if they keep losing license agreements to music I want to listen to. ...

I upgraded to Pandora version 2405.1 I can confirm, adding variety to "already created stations" works, as does creating a new station and adding variety to it as well.  Great job Pandora team! My specs: Moto G Stylus 5G 2023 (XT2315-1) Android 13 ... View more

@Megantronb222  You're welcome!  Can you post your Android version and phone model?  They can be found under Settings -> About Phone (at the bottom) Just type in the info next to "Model" and "Android Version" This is so the Pandora techs can more easily diagnose the bug in the current version of the app and fix it. ...

@Lozmercenary002  No problem at all; I know it can be a bit confusing if you're not used to tech stuff.  I was just offering that as a possible workaround.  I'm not affiliated with Pandora at all; just a normal user that tried something that worked, and wanted to share so others could get their stuff working as well. ...

@Alohaaiuli, @technicalities, @Evansrm Try downgrading the Pandora app, as described in the post linked below, and see if this works for you. Please post your results to this forum topic so that the Pandora team has more details to work with in regards to fixing this issue. So far, this has successfully worked for myself and 2 others. https://community.pandora.com/t5/Android/Android-Adding-Variety-on-station-details-page-leads-to-blank/m-p/152691/highlight/true#M15781   ...

@jpbrooks81  You're welcome, glad it worked for you as well.  The more people that try it and confirm it works, the more confirmation that the issue is with the latest version of the app...plus, it might be a while before a workable solution is actually released. ... View more

@Lamigra806, Glad it worked for you, thanks for confirming it works on your phone as well. ... View more

To anyone who wants to fix this issue, follow these steps: 1. Google this:  pandora 2310.1 apk 2. Download that apk file 3. Google this: online virus scan for apk 4. Upload that apk file you downloaded and scan it for viruses and malware; confirm that it is safe to use on your phone. 5. Copy the downloaded apk file to your phone 6. Uninstall your current version of Pandora 7. Use Android's "Files" app to find the Pandora apk you copied to your phone, and install it 8. Open Pandora on your phone and login as usual 9. Verify you can indeed add variety to stations again, without getting a grey/black screen This has successfully worked for me, running Android 13.  I'm fairly certain this is an issue with the latest version of Pandora, so downgrading fixes it. I highly suggest you turn off "Auto-Update apps" on Google Play Store, so that you don't automatically get updates that don't work.  You can read the reviews for the newer versions, and if they are having issues, then you can choose not to upgrade till they are fixed. Good luck! Edit: changed "auto download apps" to "Auto-Update apps"   I wouldn't hold your breath, they hardly ever fix anything from my experience.  They forward our messages to the appropriate department, and then nothing is ever done until hopefully it's fixed in the next version, whenever that may be. moderator edit: merged comments ...

  I have a Moto G 5G 2023 with Android 13. I tried adding variety to a station that I've added variety to before (with a different phone), and I get a grey screen. Previously, I was using a Moto G Power 2022 with Android 11, and I could add variety to the same station just fine. This seems to be an issue with the later versions of Android. I can add variety to the same station, via the web, just fine, so I know it's not the station's limitations; rather it has something to do with the Pandora app itself. It seems this issue has been abundantly confirmed by now; wondering what Pandora is doing to try to fix it? I've been a premium member for a few years now. Thanks This is happening with the latest version of Pandora; this issue does not exist with the 2310.1 version (I've successfully downgraded and it is working again) For anyone who wants to downgrade, find the older version here: This file was saved using Swift Backup, you should be able to install by changing name to apk, or use Swift Backup to open it if you feel more comfortable.   mod edit: removed 3rd party link ...
