Pandora is a music streaming and discovery service owned by Sirius XM Holdings. It lets users create stations based on the songs, artists, or genres they like, which will then play related songs. It uses the “Music Genome Project” that focuses on recommendations based on individuals listening preferences and musical traits. It uses the user’s listening data, recommends the best songs that the person would enjoy the most, and leaves out the ones they might not. Every individual has their unique taste when it comes to music. And the Pandora application can provide users with the perfect audio entertainment experience right where they want it.
Users can use the Pandora app on their Phones or TVs for home entertainment, they can use it with their Apple Watch without the iPhone, and they can even get the most of it in their car via Apple CarPlay. Streaming songs, podcasts, playlists, and albums right from the Apple watch is a blessing for many. But recently, some users have reported that the Pandora app is not working with their Apple Watch. So in this article, we will discuss all one can do to fix this. Now without any further ado, let’s get into it.
