I know this is a little off topic but thought people using Pandora should hear what type of people they are supporting. Find below the response that a blind person received from Pandora when asking if they could make their app more accessible. Atrocious! I have removed Pandora from my Iphone and will never use it again!

This was taken from a friend of mines facebook. This was a reply from Pandora tech support to a blind user. I happen to know that the original message that was sent enquiring about the latest accessibility issues in the Pandora IOS app were not insulting in any way. So, this reply is totally unacceptable. I no longer have Pandora, and will never recommend it to anyone, blind or sighted. The reply follows. Yeah yeah, we know we know. You're not the first blind dude who's written us. rest totally assure we're aware of the problem. We can't tell you when or if this problem will be fixed. The truth is, we really don't support blind people. Perhaps you should go find another app that is more let speech hold your hand while you cross the street friendly. Maybe our app is too hard for you non-seeing beings. Just shows what a disaster it is to be born blind, hum? Anyway, tell your little friends to stop writing us, ok? We'll get to it when we get to it. Warren | Pandora Listener Advocate PANDORAR internet radio You are receiving this message because you subscribed to the blindtech e-mail discussion list.
