Pandora - choose stations to add on Fitbit device

it would be great if you were able to choose the stations you wanted to add to the ionic. I currently pay for the premium app but share it with my 11 year old daughter. when syncing with my ionic the top 3 stations played are hers, not exactly the same music I would chose to workout to. I will not pay for another another pandora subscription so I can choose my stations without them putting hers on there.

Absolutely!  I'm in the same position.  I am a top paying member and have about 15 stations.  During my 8 hour work day I listen to relaxing music, so the Fitbit tries to use my "Top 3" of relaxing music, not my personal workout choices.

Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. I think that would be actually great! We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

I completely agree, my workout station is not one of my top listen to station and I can't get it to sync.  Also, I have changed from using a station to using a playlist and playlists are not supported.  Being able to sync to Pandora to the Ionic was one of the reasons I purchased the Ionic and now it is a completely useless feature for me.

This is a critical failure of this device in my opinion, as the only option right now for subscription music is Pandora. I am shipping this ionic back and buying an Android Wear device if I cannot find another subscription music service that works.

Double Please!!  Am very surprised and disappointed that I can't choose my stations to sync.  The reason I bought the Ionic was for Pandora and GPS without my phone.  Only been using it for a few days and everything is as expected except not being able to choose my stations.  Otherwise very pleased with the Ionic so far.

I agree. If this isn't corrected in the very near future, I will be returning my watch.

I ditched Pandora and switched to Deezer (very similar to Pandora). No problems syncing music since the switch.

I vote yes on this suggestion.  It should be a standard option.

To be fair and honest, it is absolutely ridiculous that this isn't already an option. I wouldn't wait for votes on this, guys...

Fitbit, pleeease allow me to chose Pandora stations.  As a family, we share a Pandora account.  Apparently my 8 year old daughters stations are the most popular but terrible for my Ionic & workouts!!!!

This would be great for Versa as well. Fitbit auto syncs the top 3 stations, however my daughter uses my pandora account. Unfortunately Disney radio comes up in my top 3 stations. I do not want this on my Versa. I would like to select from my stations.

I think it is weird that the station I listen to the most shows in the app but does not actually load on to my versa. It is really the only station I want and the most played by far

Over a year later and this is still not fixed. Pretty horrendous in my opinion.

Luckily Pandora managed to synch one of my favorite stations at first. But after not using Pandora on my phone for a few months I tried to put some music on during a recent event, and was shocked that the "top stations" had been replaced with channels I almost never listen to. I may have inadvertently clicked on them once lately, but there are many more channels I listen to more often. I understand that this is likely a failing on Pandora's part, but it is completely unacceptable to me that I have to chose between mediocre premade stations (with absolutely no music I want to listen to) or roll the dice on what Pandora thinks I've listened to lately. I highly recommend anyone considering the Ionic for music purposes to look elsewhere, I'm sorry to say.

to get renew rewards one must do 7500 steps a day. How ever swimming in not linked to steps so no credit is earned. why is this not done?

Just adding more comments to hopefully get this idea some attention again. This alone would keep me on the path of an upgrade to Fitbit Sense.
