Pandora Stopped working on my old IPAD & ITouch

Both the Ipad (Running 9.3.5 OS) & ITouch stopped working on the same day. Tried to re-install and App no longer supports this older version. Need to find new option to run music in my office. Will the new IPAD allow for Offline listening.

UPDATE on Question: To all who may be interested. I have had to download the Pandora app at least one a month for years because it takes 5 to 15 minites to load. Works better after reload. I was trying to get a clean version when it finally says it is no longer available for 9.3.5. I did get my old Itouch to work but it is slow and now Im affraid to try and reload the app with fear it's no longer available. I finaly gave in and bought a new IPAD (Latest Version) It works great and it also alows for OffLine play with the upgraded Subcription. (Old IPAD did not alow for this even with Upgrade). So far, all is good and for $309.00 it was wirth the price to not have too worry any more. Thanks for the help.

How about a good ol radio? It's free. As for offline listening, the device doesn't have anything to do with it. A minimum of Pandora Plus subscription ($4.99/month) is needed. Pandora free version does not offer offline listening feature.

Pandora Radio is still working on my iPad 2 running iOS 9.3.5.
It just takes awhile for it to load up.
It took over a minute, or so, for it to load up on my iPad 2.
Maybe that is why you assumed it wasn't working because you didn’t wait long enough for it to load up.
I am listening to Pandora on my iPad 2 right now.

I think OP is having a problem installing the app on iOS 9 because it no longer supports iOS 9 (I have not verified the requirements yet).

You might be able to reinstall the older version of Pandora by going into the iOS App Store app and in the lower menu under Purchases and locate the Pandora app, and then tap the download “cloud” icon.

If the older version of the Pandora app is still available in the iOS App Store, then you will receive a small window pop-up prompt that states that there is an older version of the app that is compatible with your device. Would you like to download this version now?

Tap the OK button just below the prompt to start the downloading of the older app version to your iPad.

Well,

If you had the financial means to throw money at the problem, that’s is fine. Many users don’t.

FYI,

The older versions of Pandora still exist on Apple’s iOS App Store Servers all the way back to iOS 5.1.1.

I removed all my older versions of Pandora off my older iDevices ( as a test ) and was able to redownload the older versions without issue.

I own an 2010, 1st gen iPad on iOS 5.1.1 and an iPad 2 with iOS 9.3.5.

Re-downloaded both versions.

You, obviously, didn’t follow my instructions.

Whatever.


Enjoy your new iPad and Pandora.
