I know, I know, Pandora’s far from “new” but it recently occurred to me that there are a lot of truly clueless (and truly new) iPhone users out there! Despite Pandora’s perennial Top 25 placement, I still run into people here and there who have never heard of it. Maybe they don’t look at the App Store’s Top 25 list, maybe they don’t “get” internet radio, maybe they actually do live under a rock! Beats me.
Since this app is widely considered to be the undisputed king of iPhone radio services, I’ll keep this short: if you have an iPhone or an iPod Touch, get Pandora. No matter what you’re obsessed with, whether it’s Metallica or Taylor Hicks or The Beatles, Pandora will serve up music that’s either made by the object of your affection or artists who are just like him/her.
My experience is that it’s not great if you’re out walking the dog because network coverage can be pretty spotty (as is the case with all streaming content), but when you’re stuck in one place with wifi and you need some new music, this is most likely gonna be your go-to app. We’ve already reviewed a few other internet radio apps, but somehow I always come back to Pandora when I need to rock out.
This has been a public service announcement. Thank you for not making fun of us for writing about an app that’s over a year old.
