Spotify Stations is the alternative Pandora we need

You can add more stations as you see fit. A button in the upper left corner brings up a menu in which you can add more channels according to an artist (or artists, if you feel like it) or a specific mix to a gender. If you opt for one of the artist's routes, you can tell the app to only play that artist or include similar acts in the mix. For genres, stations become more specific. For example, Hip-Hop offers options for "New Rap", "Old School Hip-Hop" and "Lo-Fi Beats", to name a few. The application lists the types of artists that you can expect to hear on a station and allows you to preview your content before you commit.

All your stations are on the main screen of the application in a clear and bold typography, and the list itself serves as the main navigation. When you scroll through the list, the station changes, which complicates navigation somewhat. However, when you return to a station that you have previously listened to, the music picks up where you left it.

Nothing is permanent when you create a station. If you need to edit, just tap the name of the station. From there, you can update the name of the station itself or add / remove artists. You can also indicate whether or not you want similar artists to be part of the rotation.

Below the list of stations is the player. And like the radio option of Pandora, the commands are very simple. You only have to read / pause and move on to the next song – you can not go back. If you are a free user, you will not be able to skip tracks at all. Pandora also limits the features of the stations according to your plan. The convenient thumbs up and down buttons are also present. You can tell Spotify when you are / are not happy with the selected song. Again, this is another standard feature of Pandora.
