iOS: Playback stops when screen is locked

[Jtb]

my iPhone chess on my Music when my Screen is turned off and then when I go to the app to unpause the music, it has skipped to the very last song in my queue. I’ve tried restarting my iPhone and I’m downloading and re-downloading the app

Hi @Jtb 

Welcome to community!

Thanks for posting your experience. Can you please confirm the following info:

• iOS version:
• Pandora version:

When this happens are you connected to any other devices like a speaker? Or using AirPlay to connect to another device?

Thanks for the help!

If I am connected via Bluetooth it will work fine

Hi @Jtb 

Thanks for the follow up. It's interesting that when connected through Bluetooth is works. I've gone ahead and passed this along to our engineering team for further investigation.

Thanks for your patience in the meantime!

I’m having the same issue. When my iPhone screen locks or I put the app in the background it stops playing after about a minute. I use this app to workout and it’s frustrating that it always stops. Please fix ASAP!!!

Been having the same issue for about 1-2 months. Tried uninstalling, logging out, forcing all devices to log out, powering off the phone then reinstalling. No luck. Background app refresh is on.

I've been listening to and loving Pandora since it was the Music Genome Project and been a paid subscriber since they were first offered, and sing Pandora's praises any time a conversation about music or music services comes up. This bug makes Pandora completely unusable for me. Just wanted to put one more tick on the tally for this bug. Hopefully y'all can get it solved soon. I'm a mobile app developer and would be happy to provide testing and/or feedback with Testflight or if you have any more advanced steps than the basic troubleshooting.
