Pandora updates its iOS and Android apps with personalized station recommendations
Pandora, one of the most popular music streaming services, rolled out a new update for its iOS and Android apps. Thanks to a newly-implemented feature, Pandora now provides users with up to six suggested artists' stations to add to their own playlists.
The recommended stations will appear at the bottom of the screen whenever you create a new station. They will pop up at the bottom of the stations list, too. The recommended stations are based on the current listening preferences of each user, which are determined by all the "likes" and "dislikes" for the songs in the station list. When users engage with filtering their own music preferences, Pandora adapts to their musical tastes and optimizes the future artist station recommendations.
The update is still rolling out, so you might not get it right away.

"Pandora had 76.2 million people listening to 1.58 billion hours of music just last month alone. When you layer on the more than 35 billion pieces of thumb feedback we have received since launching in 2005, it equates to billions of data points right at our fingertips. These valuable insights into our listeners’ tastes provide us with a deep understanding of what people love about music and enables us to power the best personalized radio experience for each individual listener. " - said Mike Grishaver, VP of Pandora.
