    Pros:I love Pandora because it is pretty much like a radio and an MP3 Player combined in the sense that,you can choose your favorite songs,singers,rappers,or bands and the radio will give you their stations along with similar music related to what you chose.For example,if you type into the search engine,Brittney Spears,then her songs will show up with the new Britney Spears station you created and they will also add some songs from a similar artist like Cristina Aguilera,etc.I like this because you can learn new songs from many different artists.Pandora is really great at blending similar song styles.You can share the song or station you are listening to on facebook or twitter also.You are also allowed to skip a song you don't like by either pressing the skip icon or the dislike icon.The songs also comes with biography info about the artist/artists and the lyrics to each song as well as the album name.FREE.

    Cons:Since Pandora is free and they pay for licenses to the songs,you are only allowed five or six skips a day.Afterwards,you can either stick it out or just change the station to something else.Pandora seems to only have certain songs from different artists not ALL their songs so even if you were to type in "Count on Me" by Bruno Mars for example into the search engine,it may just give you a different Bruno Mars song or a song like the one you requested but by a different artist altogether.Also,you cannot REWIND,FAST FORWARD,or REPLAY a song at all and I think that goes back to the fact that they have to pay for it.And,if you type in a song you just recently listened to and try to hear it again,for some reason it doesn't let you.

    Summary: Pandora is a free radio station app where you can find your favorite songs and artists simply by typing their names into a search engine.You can always edit,meaning you can delete or add stations and it is a great way to learn new songs.While the skips are limited to five or six a day,each song provides you with lyrics and background information on the artist.You can always share what you are listening to on Facebook,Twitter,etc to let friends and family know but just remember you cannot replay a song so wait a bit to try to find it in the search engine.If you hit the like icon on a song,that particular song is more likely to show back up quicker so you wont have to wait long for it but just remember that you cannot rewind or fast forward,you can only PAUSE.Pandora is completely Iphone compatible and even pauses itself when you get an incoming phone call so you can always go back and resume a song when you are done talking.On the Kindle Fire,Pandora shows up nice and big on the screen which will help you to read the lyrics better!
    In all,Pandora is a amazing app to get for any device that is capable of having it and is the best music app created!!

    Sometimes I'm in the mood for World, or George Winston-type New Age piano, or broader New Age stuff. So those are my current formats on Pandora! "Followers" can listen in, too. (I don't mean Facebook; Pandora has their own system.) Pandora's computers play stuff for you based on your initial stated preference of artist or song each time you're in the mood for something you haven't been listening to on Pandora yet. And you are able to vote each song up or down, or to skip the current piece. It's basically an interactive music collection, vastly larger than the records or tapes or discs you could or would store at home. OTOH it doesn't make you assemble and buy song by song like for your own iPod® either. They've scientifically analyzed recorded music based on elements like tempo, culture, mood, rhythm, instrumentation, even key, time signature, etc., and base their choices for you on the characteristics contained in your first choice, as well as on your subsequent votes. (They really want your votes too. If you go too long without voting, they'll stop and post a notice making sure you're still listening, and remind you they can't afford "playing to an empty room"!)

    The free service includes audio and even video commercials, even ones local to your market. I don't usually mind, in fact, as an old radio hand, I like how "stop-sets" break it up a little, especially in the absence of DJs or news. Some ads are targeted for your gender, too. But I heard a political ad recently, which I felt violated the mood. Also, sometimes songs or ads get cut off. And they do warn you this can chew up alot of your monthly MBs or GBs. You can pay to stop the ads and improve sound quality even more than what I find perfectly adequate for my laptop or tablet speakers, currently $36US/year IIRC, and I might do that, as this US election year promises/threatens to carpet-bomb us with ads of the worst kind yet.

    If your screen is big enough they also send, with each song as it's playing, album art, artist information if available, and the scientific reasons why they think this song fits your format (though I'm not sure "headnodic" is a word!!). So I've learned a lot about music I've always wondered about... without the financial pain of buying discs or songs blindly.

    One thing you can't do is request *by* format or scientific characteristic. I'm part Native American, but city-raised, so I just typed that into the box; but if you don't know an artist or song title, the system can't help you.

    You can also get the service through [...], without this app, but I don't know how that would work out on a smaller device.

    Long story short, this may be the future of music radio -- "narrowcasting," even self-help.

    I'll attempt to not repeat what other reviews have said because there are nuances to Pandora that go beyond a convenient way to listen to the music you love.

    The first thing I love is the way artists whose work is related to your favorites that you specify in channels are slipped in. I have discovered more musicians (and albums) that I would have never thought of on my own through that feature.

    I also love that I can easily peruse a mini biography of the artist on any currently playing song, as well as features of the track itself. For example, listening to bassist Ron Carter's album titled Saguaro I discovered that the key features of the track for Piccolo include block chords on the piano and it's in a minor key. That information cues me to listen to those more carefully, which is a boon for musicians.

    Another feature with which I am currently experimenting is the connect-to-facebook link that will not only alert friends to what I am listening to (although I have that hidden using facebook's privacy settings), but a monthly summary of my listening habits published on my timeline. That I do find useful!

    The ads can be somewhat tiresome, but when I weight that minor inconvenience against the way Pandora's insertion of related music into my channel plays I can live with it with a smile. I have been exposed to a much wider range of music and artists than I ever was before Pandora came along, and this app is the key.

    For the record this review is of version 4.1.2, which is the latest as of the date of this review. Features may change, obviously, so take this date and version into consideration as you read this review.
