Experiencing issues with the Pandora app? You’re not alone. Many users have reported that Pandora stops playing music after each song, which can be really frustrating. Here are some troubleshooting steps and tips to help you get back to enjoying your tunes without interruptions.

Common Reasons for Stopping

  1. Network Issues: Sometimes, a poor internet connection can cause streaming problems. Ensure your Wi-Fi or mobile data is stable.
  2. App Settings: There might be settings within the Pandora app that need adjusting. Check if there are any autoplay options that could be affecting your listening.
  3. Updates Needed: Make sure your app is up to date. Updates often include bug fixes that could resolve playback issues.

Troubleshooting Steps

  • Restart the App: Close Pandora completely and reopen it. This simple step often clears out minor glitches.
  • Clear Cache: Go to your settings, find Pandora under your app list, and clear its cache. This can help if the app is storing corrupt data.
  • Reinstall the App: If issues persist, consider uninstalling and then reinstalling Pandora. This can resolve deeper issues.

Other Considerations

  • Background App Refresh: If you’re using an Android phone, check if background data is enabled for Pandora. Sometimes, limiting background data can stop playback prematurely.
  • Device Compatibility: Ensure your phone meets the minimum requirements for the latest version of the Pandora app, as some features may not work correctly on older devices.

I’m glad I’m not the only one experiencing this! My Pandora app stops after each song too. Anyone know if it could be due to a Wi-Fi issue?

3

For me, it turned out to be my network! Switching to a stronger connection helped a lot.

4

This is frustrating! I had a similar problem and discovered that my app wasn’t updated. Did you check for updates?

5

Yes! I updated it last week and it still stops. I feel like a song has just finished when I have to restart it again.

6

You might want to check your device compatibility too. Sometimes older devices just can’t handle the latest app updates, which can cause issues.

That’s totally true! My friend has an old phone, and Pandora barely works on it.

There’s also the app’s cache. Clear it out; sometimes all it needs is a little refresh to get back on track.

Wow, I never thought of that! I’ll give it a try, thanks.

This is a classic Pandora issue! Nice to see I’m not the only one, but also annoying. They need to fix their app bugs!

11

Right?! It seems like every update brings more issues. Why can’t they get it right?

12

Has anyone tried reinstalling the app? I did that once, and it magically fixed my constant stopping issue!

13

I love magic fixes! But I hope it’s not just a temporary fix for you.

It’s like ‘guess the problem’ with Pandora. If this keeps up, I might need to switch to cassette tapes! Just kidding, but seriously…

15

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check my settings. It’s so annoying when the music stops.

I’ve heard many people experience this issue! Sometimes it’s due to the autoplay settings in your account preferences. Make sure autoplay is enabled.

While we’re on the topic, playlists can also impact playback. If a playlist ends, playback stops. Make sure yours has enough songs!

18

I thought I was the only one! This happened to me too, especially when I switched devices. Could that be causing it?

19

That makes sense! I might need to create longer playlists to avoid this.

As for autoplay, maybe double-check your account settings? Sometimes they revert after updates or app reinstalls.
