Like that Song!

Ever kiss the Pandora app on your phone because it’s giving off the best vibe?

If you answered “yes” to this, you are not alone. Many people just like you who not only love the app because of the exposure to many new favorites, but also to songs that you know like the back of your hand!

Pandora is  an app and website that allows users to stream music from a variety of artists and genres, all for free. Users can set up their own stations by clicking the “Create Station” and searching for any song or artist, or go to the “Browse” option to look for new music. This app allows you to listen to as much music as you want and as long as you want – again – for free. The simplicity of the app and all that it offers is hard to beat. Other options for streaming music like Youtube can be a battery-consuming app, considering it has to stay open while a song is playing or Apple music, an app that does not  create much  variety, but on Pandora users have every song they could think of in the palm of their hands, literally.

Users help develop what they listen to on the app when they choose to like or dislike a song that  Pandora plays on a station. This helps the app customize and create a more similar style of artist or song for the next tune that plays on that station. You can have that upbeat Beyonce Station that keeps those drowsy morning eyes filled with excitement for the day, or the Beethoven station that helps to keep the sound steady for sleeping. Another good feature of the app is that artists and songs you may not know come on and you can like or dislike these to help build your preferences and, in the case of liking a song or artist, build your catalogue and broaden the music tastes you already have. The app even allows you to venture farther into different genres, and even go back to the 80s’!

Of course, the app has its downfalls like minute-long commercial breaks, but this is countered by the fact that it has  an entire station of all the songs that you have liked.
