Web Version Wrapped in an App

• ☆☆☆☆☆   Joseph Corbett 8 years ago

This app is essentially the website wrapped in an application. That beign said the minimized version is pretty cool and feels like an actual app, however the problem is that when you use the keyboard to play or skip it activates iTunes. Also everytime I close the application it logs me out and you can’t cut and paste into user/password field. Overall I would avoid this app and stick to using the Adobe Air app from pandora.

Disappointed

As the previous review mentions this is just a wrapper and a very thin one at that. Have to sign in every time. More trouble than Flash in the end.

have to log in every time but nice to have a window outside of a browser

I would rate it more highly if you didn’t have to log in each time you launch it.

Great idea, a few small, but usable bugs

Great app idea! Overall very well done. In the mini view the album art does not consistently keep up with the song. “Remember me” login information doesn’t work so a login is required every time the app opens. Would be nice to see integration with keyboard (play, FF, etc.) buttons while running. Overall very good despite a few small quirks. Review based on version 2.1.0(6).
