The Pandora Radio app replicates the interface and functionality of Pandora.com for the iPhone/iPod Touch. If you aren’t familiar with Pandora it’s a website that streams music based on songs or bands you like. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical of how well this app would work. I am happy to report that any fears I may have had were completely unfounded and Pandora Radio has become one of my favorite apps. My only question was how well would it work over the 3G or Edge networks. I, unfortunately, don’t have first hand experience using Pandora over 3G or Edge, but I have read numerous accounts stating that Pandora works well over both.
Pandora Radio’s interface makes it easy to create new stations and the “Now Playing” interface is very similar to Apple’s music player design. Buffering seems to be the Achilles heel of other streaming music apps, but Pandora, over wi-fi, has little or no buffering time between songs. Pandora is not immune, however, to the glitches other apps have faced; it has locked my iPod Touch up a few times, mainly when Pandora has been paused for an extended period. I am sure they will correct this in the next version.
I know it’s already been said, but I am going to say it again Pandora Radio is the current killer app for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
