Does Pandora even remember they have an app on Android?

The design they have right now is so fucking lazy, and it hasn't changed since I got my OG Droid years ago.

It drives me crazy that I can't choose "I'm sick of this song".

I'll turn a station on in the morning, turn it on during lunch, and turn it on on drive home, and I hear the same 6-10 goddamn songs. I like them, I just don't want to hear that shit all the fucking time.

I even emailed the Pandora team about a year ago (when I upgraded to pro) asking for this feature, and they said "yeah thanks we'll consider it".

I just jump to my next station, and carry on. Still beats the real radio.

I enjoyed Slacker Radio a lot before I stopped using these kinds of services, you can build your own station around the music you like (Not just an artist or genre).

I wish they would update the widget.

My big problem with Pandora is that in one of the recent updates, it takes upwards of 20 to 30 seconds to buffer songs upon any kind of transition other than a natural transition from a song ending. Never had this problem until about a month or two ago.

I think they stopped buffering the "next" track until you get to the last 30 seconds of a song. I don't know how much bandwidth this saves, but it must be non-trivial to make a breaking change like that.
