Pandora Introduces Standalone Apple Watch App, Stream Music and Podcasts With No iPhone Required

Didn’t know pandora was still a thing.

I can't even make it through a day on my series 4 watch & I just play music on my phone. There's no hope for my watch if I start playing music with this app.

What do you do with your watch? I can get almost 2 days on my series 4

No Spotify offline playback - no buy.

I can't even make it through a day on my series 4 watch & I just play music on my phone. There's no hope for my watch if I start playing music with this app.

This will be really nice for when I'm out for a run since I leave my phone behind.

I haven't been able to get it to work over a cell connection. Over WiFi, it works well, though it got into a mode where it would only act as a remote for my iPhone app. I turned off the phone, delete the app from the Watch, re-downloaded it from the Watch App Store, and it returned to autonomous functionality. I hope it doesn't make a habit of switching to remote-only functionality.

UPDATE:

Ugh, it does.

I had it streaming via WiFi with my phone turned off. Turned phone back on, no problem. Turned phone back off, the Watch app stopped streaming and refuses to re-start, presenting me with:



There appears to be no way to get the app running independently again. Force-killing it doesn't help.

So, Pandora still has some work to do.

I can't even make it through a day on my series 4 watch & I just play music on my phone. There's no hope for my watch if I start playing music with this app.

Even better because a good portion of the time and battery would be spent loading ads.
