Why can't sync Pandora stations?

[SayraCristal]

Who was able to link their ionic with Pandora stations? This crap is making me want to return this watch. 🤦🏽‍:female_sign:

Welcome to the Fitbit Community @SayraCristal! Let's do this together my friend, don't lose the hope. I got your back!  

I would like you to restart your tracker and double check you're following these steps to download the stations. Have you gotten any error message when trying to sync Pandora with Ionic?

Plug your watch into the charger. Stations download automatically when the watch is charging and in range of your Wi-Fi network, or tap Force Sync Now in the Fitbit app to add the stations to your watch. 

Give this a go and let me know how it goes!

I still can't get mine to download Pandora stations either. I've tried everything! I even got a new phone because my phone was old and I was blaming it for my issues with the watch.

Here's what I have to do to sync mine:

1.  plug watch in within range of wifi;

2.  open fitbit app and let watch sync;

3.  tap that little rectangular box in the upper right corner of the app;

4.  tap Ionic;

5. tap media;

6. tap Pandora;

7.  tap the three dots at the right hand top of the screen;

8.  choose whether to auto-sync your own stations (which you would make through Pandora itself) or just use their default workout stations; and

9.  tap "Force Sync Now" from the box that pops up.

If you then tap on the Pandora app on your watch (keeping it plugged in), it should tell you that your stations are being downloaded.  Be prepared to wait for a long time.  It usually takes several hours (sometimes even overnight) to completely download all of the music for 3 stations.  Even then it might not download all 3 stations & I live with it until I've run through all the music a couple times.

I've done that all...probably 50 times now 😞  Nothing is working...I've even restored the Ionic to factory settings and re-setup my watch twice...I'm at a loss.  I've tried to force pandora sync on my computer, my phone, and my tablet

My Ionic seems to be stuck on stations I listened to about a month ago.  When I force sync it shows that it's syncing on the watch and the phone and it gets to 100% but without updating the stations.  I've tried restarting the watch.  I've confirmed Pandora lists different stations than what my Ionic seems to have developed an affinity for by going not only to the Pandora app on my phone but also online.

Is there some magic trick to get the stations updated to the one's I actually listen to?
