Pandora radio down update: Thousands complain of music streaming app outage; how to fix ‘can’t connect' issue

On August 14, thousands of users reported an outage of the Pandora streaming app, with complaints flooding in across social media and Downdetector. As of the latest update, Downdetector logged over 2000 users experiencing difficulties connecting to the service. Pandora, a music streaming platform owned by SiriusXM, experienced the issue starting at 10:29pm ET on that day.

The cause of the outage remains unknown, and Pandora Support has not provided any comment on the matter. Users have been frustrated, with many expressing their discontent on X and Downdetector. One user noted that they had been a paid Pandora Pro subscriber for years but faced a "session timeout" error, despite being a paying customer.

Another user lamented that they could not connect to Pandora on their Android device, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the application. The community suggests several troubleshooting steps for users experiencing the "can't connect" issue, including checking their internet or mobile data connection, turning off any active VPN, clearing the app's cache or data, or reinstalling the app.

However, some users have reported that these steps did not resolve their problem, suggesting that the issue may be on Pandora's end. Despite the frustration, some users have offered workaround solutions, such as clearing the app cache and data or updating the app to the latest version.
