Pandora BlackBerry app Review

Description:

The Pandora BlackBerry app is one of the best BlackBerry apps out there for radio listening.  It is the simplest and easiest way to listen to music that you love and introduce yourself to music that you could potentially love.  All you have to do is just put in a single song or artist that you enjoy, and Pandora will create an entire playlist and radio station that plays only related music.  That way you can enjoy other artists that you may already know and love as well as find new ones that play similar music.

One of the great features of the app is the ability you have to rate each song as it comes up.  If you don’t like the song then Pandora can take that feedback and immediately fix your playlist so that those kinds of songs are taken out of the station.  This is a great way for you to customize and personalize your listening experience.  What is even better is that this app is completely free and you can take advantage of all of it’s features and listen to music for hours on end.

Features:

• Follows the same impressive features that the popular online radio station does
• All you do is enter in a song or two and it will create an entire playlist of songs with similar artists and songs that fit into that genre of music
• You can listen to this “personalized” radio station for as long as you want, or enter in a new song and make a new station
• This is a great way to expose yourself to new music that you could be interested in
• You have the option to rate songs so Pandora knows what kinds of music you like, and those you don’t like
• Pandora will adapt to your tastes and feedback immediately so that you can get the most out of your listening experience
• A variety of different types of music to choose from including hip hop, punk rock, latin, classical, country, jazz, heavy metal, and so much more

Conclusion:

Pandora revolutionized online radio.  Having a service that creates playlists of similar music is super convenient.  Rather than going through and creating your own playlist, Pandora does the work for you and you can just relax and enjoy it.  This app is super easy to use and the rating feature is nice because you can slowly mold your playlist to only include songs that you are happy with.
