Pandora app won’t work on my Apple Watch

I fixed mine! First logout of Pandora on your iPhone. Then remove the app from your watch. Delete the app from your phone. (It will prompt you to keep your subscription if you have one. Select yes.) Go to the App Store and download Pandora again. Sign in to Pandora on your iPhone. Install Pandora on your watch again and voila! Working!

The problem has fixed with the latest pandora app iOS update 2401.1.1 that just came out last night

Apple doesn't own Pandora or the Pandora App at all. If a 3rd party app doesn't work, you need to contact the app developer for help with their app.

Here is how you find out how to contact the app developer --> How to contact an app developer - Apple Support

I did find a link from Pandora about how to use Pandora on Apple Watch --> https://help.pandora.com/s/article/Pandora-on-Apple-Watch-1519949301623?language=en_US

Very important point. Pandora didn’t show up in the update list on App Store. I had to go to the app in the App Store then tap “update”. It very quickly updated. Only then did it start working again on the watch.

I have finally worked through the Pandora customer service (works better if you log into the website via desktop browser) and found the solution that works for me.

None of the Pandora uninstall/reinstall tips helped, and nothing helped when the action taken was initiated on the phone.

** On my watch (not my iPhone), I navigated to the app store, found Pandora, and UPDATED the app from there. Now it will open and play on my watch again. **

Answer: Delete the app from your watch and power off then back on, update the app from your phone, redownload app to watch. Should be good to go!

Side note, I had to go to the App Store, type in “Pandora” and update it from there. My pandora app did not pop up under available apps for updates.

Hi John,

Thanks for writing back!

Please try the following steps which might do the trick:

1. Download the latest version of the Pandora app on your iPhone.

2. Remove the Pandora app from your Apple Watch. 

3. Shut down both the Apple Watch and iPhone. 

4. Reboot iPhone.

5. Reboot Apple Watch. 

6. Install the Pandora app back to the Apple Watch.

Please let me know how it goes.

Okay, figured it out. Delete Pandora on your watch. Then Go to the App Store on your phone and find Pandora. Click on update. Now when you re-install on the watch app, it will install the updated app and it works.

I too was having the same issue. Just downloaded ver 2401.1.1 today. Removed the app from my watch and added it back and now it works on my Ultra 2.

my Pandora app is working again. Here’s what I just did.

1) delete from watch

2) power off and power on watch

3) go to App Store and update Pandora

4) reinstall on watch

Finally works after latest update but you will need to uninstall app then reinstall for it to reflect as I updated and nothing initially. Hope it helps.

Redcookie13, Did you toggle to remove app and then actually scrolled down on settings and clicked on “install” or did you just toggle back?

I clicked “install” and it’s working now!

and don’t forget to power off and back on just in case.

Yes, the key for me was going to the App Store and finding the updated app. I don’t think i turned the watch off and then on, but obviously that couldn’t hurt.

I have an answer, you have to factory reset the Apple Watch and then it will work!!!

The problem started with the latest pandora app update, 2401.1 dated February 22. Hopefully pandora will come out with another update soon that will fix this issue
