What Happened To Pandora? (2019 HONEST REVIEW)

Описание: Is Pandora the best music app for you?
Pandora music app owned the game 10 years ago but has since been outcompeted by Spotify, Tidal, and Apple Music. Does that mean that they are no longer a good app? In this video, I dive in and determine what features, functions, and price packages make this app better or worse than its major competitors.

EXTENDED REVIEW:
1. FEATURES/INTERFACE
Pandora web player includes lyrics for many songs
Current playing song has a little “equalizer” animation to show you which song is playing
Swipe up to see the current playing song, then swipe up again to see other songs in that album, more info about the artist, album, Queue, and AutoPlay settings
Search for artists, songs, stations, podcasts, playlists, and albums
Select what you want to see in “My Collection” by selecting the drop down menu and then choosing an option such as “playlists” or “songs”
Player color changes to match albums playing
Some Pandora ads come on in radio
Download radio stations
Give songs thumbs-up or thumbs-down
Select the (i) in the top right corner to see more information about the song or station
Search does not allow voice search :(
Only one account can listen at a time
Not functioning properly with headphone controls
SETTINGS:
Privacy - set your account to public or private (unlike Spotify which requires individual “private sessions”
Advanced, Car Launch - automatically launches Pandora when car bluetooth is connected
Choose audio quality settings
FAVORITE SETTINGS:
Sleep timer option!!
Alarm clock - allows you to set a station which will be an alarm clock for the time you choose - this is an amazing function that allows you to wake up to different music every day

2. PRICING
Offers Pandora free, Pandora Plus ($5/mo), or Pandora Premium ($10/mo)
Pay annually to save ~$1/mo for the premium plan

3. MUSIC SELECTION
Thumbprint Radio = radio based on songs you gave a “thumbs-up” in other radio stations
Unfortunately, this needs to be in a radio - you cannot give a thumbs-up to individually selected songs
Play top songs from artists by tapping on their profile picture
Easily add variety, or “seeds” to stations to optimize your music
See liked songs in “My Thumbs Up” playlist
Not all songs are available on demand - some are only radio

4. SOCIAL
Choose to have a public or private profile
Connect to Facebook or Twitter
Follow friends, and connect with Facebook
Listen to songs recently played by friends
Link from artists to their Twitter pages easily
Go to feed for messages about content within the app
