Pandora Radio 3

I've been a big fun of Pandora Radio for a long time. It's a good way to listen to your favorite music at a low cost, I mean...for free.

Pandora was the first app I downloaded from the app store to my iPhone, that is the proof of the love I have towards the service.

Lately I have found some cons about the service, for both, the website and the iPhone app. So here are the pros and the cons.

Pros:

I love that it's free

I love that I have discovered other bands through the recommendation/similarity engine

I love that it covers many music genders and artists (I have found most of my Spanish 80's pop bands)

I love that they have an iPhone App


Cons:

When you are on the same radio station for a while, let's say 2+ hours, same songs play again and again, that is annoying!!

The impossibility to search for a certain song that you like. Let's say I like a song from Cold Play and I really love it but only that one, I don't want to listen to other Cold Play songs.

The recommendation engine sometimes is not really good, so sometimes I find myself listening to bands or music types that I don't like at all

It stops when you receive a call or a text message on your iPhone. I think that happens to most of the iPhone apps, but it really bothers me when i am listening to my music and it stops because a stupid call.

100% agree with your review. In my opinion, the repetition of the songs on the same station is one of the major minuses of Pandora.
