Pandora is a subscription-based streaming app for music, radio, and podcast. The service originally launched as a radio streaming platform that would generate personalized channels depending on the user's preferences and liked songs.

Today, the app has over one hundred million installations on Android and is ranked #2 in Music on the Apple store. In this article, we discuss some of the app's main features, as well as some additional information.

What are the key features of Pandora?

Here are some of the Pandora app main features:

Personalize: this is Pandora's main feature. You can create stations with your favorite songs or artist and then browse more or go through the music and podcast recommendations for your mood or activity.
Voice command: thanks to this feature, you can search, skip, adjust volume, pause, and play with a simple voice command.
Modes: the app offers you to choose between six modes: My Station, Crowd faves, Deep cuts, Discovery, Newly released, and Artist only.
Download: if you opt for the Premium version, you will be able to download your favorite music and listen to it offline.

How does Pandora work?

Once you download and install the Pandora music app, you have to create your Pandora account. After that, at the bottom of the front page, you will find a “P” button that says For you. You can use it to browse music and podcast by category, mood, and activity, for example. If you prefer, you can directly use the Search button to find an artist, as well as some related information, stations, and more. Keep in mind that not all songs are part of a given artist’s station - giving them a thumbs up or a thumbs down will let the app know if you’d like similar titles or not. Selecting the + button will add the song to your collection.

Is Pandora free?

You can download and use this app for free but this version contains ads, as well as some functionality limitations. There are three paid options: Pandora plus - $4.99 a month; Pandora Premium - $9.99 a month; Pandora Premium Family - $14.99. Note that taxes may apply.
