Pandora for Android allows you to hear your favorite artists and others who are similar in style. It's like you took over as the programmer for a a radio station playing nothing but your favorite tunes. The app was in need of a major, ahem, tune-up (get it? tune as in tunes as in music, ah never mind...) and Pandora obliged. If you think that the new UI looks more Androidy, to coin a word, you'd be right as the app now follows Google's UI guidelines.

Some of the changes include a blue and white color theme, larger album covers (more on the covers later) and with the reworked song history, you can review, rate or bookmark songs you've previously played. And the album covers can now be minimized to reveal artist bios, song lyrics, similar artists and songs, and the features of the track that put it on the play list of your personal radio station.

If you liked Pandora on Android before, you're really going to love it now. You can download the updated Pandora for free from the Google Play Store.
