14 DAY TRIAL // iTunes Radio rival Pandora Media is out with a fresh update today featuring an alarm clock function for tablets and several other new features in the same free application for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
“Great music discovery is effortless and free with Pandora. Just start with the name of one of your favorite artists, songs, genres or composers and we will do the rest. It’s easy to create personalized stations that play only music you’ll love,” says Pandora Media, the developer of the iOS app and music streaming service.
Version 5.3 of the Pandora Radio iOS client allows you to wake up to your favorite music on your iPad. I don’t know many people who set their alarm on an iPad, but apparently there are enough of you out there to get Pandora Media to include this feature.
You can pick your favorite station to play as your alarm, as well as adjust the snooze time to sleep in a little. A sleep timer enables users to hear their music morning and night, and other improvements and bug fixes are also implemented throughout the app as part of this update, “to give you the best listening experience.” Download Pandora Radio on any iOS 6 device and start using these features today.
