They give you music to your taste and just enough extra to keep you coming back.

They ask you to make a list of favorite artist but you don't really choose songs. And for every one song they play there is at least two or three commercials in between one song. ### 5/5 — Chino was here😉😁 *2026-08-29, version 2608.1* Loving it🫣 ### 5/5 — Amazing Music App *2026-08-29, version 2608.1* Pandora is a gr8 music streaming app 4 me.
