Always cancelling, loses sound, or refuses to connect
Will not load.
literally no way to close the app
doesn't work or load
no sound anymore!
dumb app
it looks like it's playing but doesn't, it's been years going on, force closing sometimes works, clearing cache, or uninstall and reinstall
it shows the song playing but it stays at 0 not playing the song and it can't be skipped it's annoying that I have to log out and then login everytime it does that
poor sound. maybe it's made for cheap speakers from 5 below.
doesn't play nothing
plays one song and stops looks like it's playing but no sound
use to best but last 2 years gone down hill
will not play audio even though the now playing is indicating.does this continually requiring multiple reinstallations.
I did not order this !!!!!!!
does not play music like others are saying
Will not play anything!
loads then goes black
no sound
only works the first time you install it
fix the bug already! I am so sick and tired of rebooting each time I have to get off just to come back to no audio
Will no longer play any music on my ShieldTV. Still works OK on my Pixel 9. After a few emails to support requesting bug fixes for the Shield and a request for an Android Automotive compatible app and no help, I'm done.. Meh, it's gone downhill. I'll probably cancel soon, since I can't listen in the car anymore or at home.
the app does not work correctly and nothing plays please fix this
If I could rate zero Stars I would. this app still has the bug where it will show the song and just not play. Apparently this has been a problem for quite some time and Pandora has chosen not to fix it. This app is junk. Pandora please fix your app!!!!
The app no longer plays continuously. Music stops after each song or sometimes doesn't play at all.
it will not play sound through the app. you can see the song playing, just no sound! seriously, fix this app, sound is kinda important!!!
doesn't work in my smart TV
There's been a bug for years that frequently causes music to just not play until you reboot. The song appears, the "playing" icon animates, but the progress scrollbar never moves and no music plays. There's been discussion on the Pandora user forums for years complaining of this behavior with no resolution. This reflects badly on Google TV. I assumed it was a Google TV bug so I used Google TV less and less until I saw the Pandora forums. This app should be removed.
On Chromecast I have to uninstall and reinstall after every use to get it to work. It won't stream otherwise.
Just doesn't work on my TV. No sound at all no matter what I try. I listen to music everyday & YouTube plays too many commercials. Apparently this has been a problem for a lot of people for quite some time that Pandora simply doesn't care to address.
constantly freezes on my Sony Bravia Smart TV
it's so low grade
doesn't work on TCL.
constantly crashes
keeps pausing and not continuing to the next song wont let me skip when I have skips available still
just deleted Pandora again for having to sign in constantly. That means no add revenue for you. Fix your app I might try again in a couple of months. Big thumbs down.
can't remove, even if you don't want it
does not play music anymore.opens up app and shows that it's playing but no sound comes out.
can't get any sound to play on TV worthless on the TV
every other time I open the app I have to uninstall and then reinstall before it works.
only lets me play one song and then I have to uninstall it and reinstall it to get to play another song on my tv
Never works correctly, switching to Spotify.
How does Google except to compete with Apple when so many of these core apps are complete garbage? It launches, but won't play anything on my shield tv pro. So I'll uninstall and get by with a YouTube client. Buhbye.
doesn't work with Google streaming device
the app does not work with my TCL TV model 55Q651G. no audio when playing a song
App stopped working on my Nvidia Shield. Uninstalled/reinstalled and still no luck.
doesn't actually play music, just looks like it is. newer Samsung tv.
Songs appear to be playing but absolutely NO AUDIO. Many have posted this issue. If you don't care to fix this, then remove it from the Playstore for Android TV. No point in wasting our time!
app never works
