Pandora has rolled out a major upgrade for the mobile Android version of its streaming online radio app.
The latest verison – 1.7 – adds a number of new features that users are sure to appreciate, such as a revamped UI and easy browsing of listening history.
Tracks can be reviewed, rated and bookmarked, with the upgrade now offering accessible streaming of relevant data – include artist biographies, track information and recommendations based on your music history. Oh, and yes, perhaps the sweetest feature is access to full song lyrics.
