Anyone else dealing with issues with Pandora app?

[dabsevo]

I never have a problem with bluetooth sync, and that's one thing I love about this car's SYNC system. Get in the car, bluetooth connects right now. Unlike my aftermarket headunits that would require me to pull my phone out, turn BT off/ON and have it reconnect.

But one thing that drives me crazy is Pandora disappears. Usually after getting in and out of the car. I'm not sure if it's the car or my phone.
1) get in car, start it up and phone is synced. Great.
2) Press voice command and say "Mobile Apps"
3) Say "Pandora"
4) Say "Play xxxxx"

Great.
Go to the store. Come out.
1) Start up car, phone is synced.
2) Say "mobile apps"
3) Say "Pandora" ERRORRRRRRRRR. Pandora not found.
4) Say "List mobile apps" - No pandora
5) Say "Find new apps" - No pandora

Anyone else got this annoying issue with SYNC and Pandora disappearing and coming back? I tried turning BT on/off. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it'll allow me to Find New Apps again.
Spotify, never have a problem.

Could be my phone so i want to confirm what's going on. I have a Nexus 5 Android phone.

sucks.. pandoras the only one that gives me problems. I have a feeling it's my phone or the phone's app though. my last bluetooth pandora device only had problem with pandora and nothing else.

Pretty sure it's the Pandora app on the phone. I have my iPhone connected via USB and it doesn't always start back up when I stop and start the car.

Same here. I just whip my phone out . Turn off Pandora on my phone and search mobile apps again.

It's the POS sync ford put out. Drives me crazy.

The only fix I've found is restarting my phone. After that, I search for new apps, and it always finds Pandora.

Sometimes it loses it immediately when I get out of the car, sometimes it will work fine for a couple days. For short drives when it isn't worth rebooting my phone, I am always glad I have my USB drive plugged in.

I unplug then replug my lighting/USB cable on my I6 to get Pandora to work when it's acting up.

Its the app. I usually pull my phone out and have to reopen the app.

Do you guys have the Shaker Pro system to even have access to the mobile apps? I have the 9 speaker system and couldn't get any mobile apps to work.

pandora works just fine on my 9 speaker system. I can't use voice, but the skip buttons work perfectly well (what else do you need?)

Well, it would be nice to have some control of the app to change channels via voice or on the HU. I have this on my $119.99 JVC head that unit I just put into my old Subaru ;)

non-MFT have this feature. Who knows why it was left out on their 'higher end' system.

So far using and Android phone on the base system Pandora has been the most stable... only messes up ~25% of the time, slacker is ~50-60 percent and stops playing when I put it in reverse... sometimes it will start playing again when I'm out of reverse sometimes it won't. The SiriusXM app has worked for me about 3 times out of the dozen or so times I've tried to use it.... it normally doesn't even show up as an option in the list of apps.
