Top issues, ranked by reviews × severity
- Justify or adjust the price: 21 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.1/3. What to do: Test a cheaper tier, annual discount or one-time purchase; show what paid users get.
“For someone using a paid subscription for as long as I have should be “grandfathered” in at the original base price —ANOTHER price hike is unjust and soon your greed may lose a longtime paying customer!” (3★, v2610.1, US) - Reduce ad frequency and length: 19 complaining reviews, avg severity 1.7/3. What to do: Cap ads per session, avoid unskippable video, and never show ads in the middle of a core task.
“Every two songs, two ads. Every 6 skips, 3 ads. I get having ads but sheesh!” (1★, v2610.1, US) - Improve content quality: 16 complaining reviews, avg severity 1.8/3. What to do: Review the content areas users name; add a "report a problem" button on content.
“$5.99 was pushing it, now $6.99 which is simply too much for a streaming platform that buffers constantly and replays the same content over and over again.” (1★, v2610.2, US) - Soften the redesign backlash: 9 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.1/3. What to do: Explain the change in-app, restore the most-missed option, or offer a setting for the old behaviour.
“It seems like every song is the remastered version which never sounds like the song I initially fell in love with as well as extremely clinical and lifeless. After purchasing the subscription, it took me about 30 minutes before I close the app and will not ope…” (1★, v2610.2, US) - Ship the most requested feature: 7 complaining reviews, avg severity 1.7/3. What to do: Read the quotes below for the exact request; consider a public roadmap.
“The main blue light color is very irritating to the brain. It’s well known by now that blue light is very straining on the eyes and overstimulating, especially for young children. I really wish Pandora would give us the option to change it. I like to listen to…” (2★, v2610.1, US) - Ease paywall pressure: 4 complaining reviews, avg severity 2.2/3. What to do: Keep core features usable for free users or explain clearly what is paid; show the paywall less often.
“So I love pandora the music and stuff but it’s so annoying and frustrating because it will not let you listen to music if you don’t have premium and I just loved in to it and it’s showing nothing so I’m sry but please do something” (4★, v2610.1, US)

How to read this
Apple's public feed only shows recent reviews, so this is a snapshot of the last weeks or months, not the app's full history. Popular apps attract complaints in proportion to their size; the useful part is which issues repeat. Generated 22 October 2026. We have no relationship with Pandora Media, LLC.
