As a former manager of a software human factors group (Usability),  I am staggered with just how to shut down Pandora.

I have a Android (Samsung) smart phone.  Has happened before,  but today,  taking the bike to make a Dr. appt,  I thought I would try to turn on Pandora on my smart phone and via the bike (2014 SG special),  engage blue tooth and listen to some tunes on the way.

First of all,  the blue tooth connection never merged.  Yes,  the phone was set up with blue tooth turned on.   Anyway,  I switched on the way to my thumb drive and listened to those tunes.  Once at the Dr. parking lot,  I realize my cell phone is playing tunes from pandora.

In the Docs. office lobby,  I'm trying to shut down Pandora.................   Other than cut down the volume to "mute",  or hit the "task" thing at the bottom which will shut down all (open) apps,  I cannot see any way to shut down Pandora.
There is a 3 dot (vertical) thing you can hit..........no help there for shutting down Pandora.  There is a "grocery cart" logo,  not there, a couple of other logos..............not there............a "left" arrow at the top of the page.........not there either.

I'd take a Louisville Slugger to the side of the head of the software developer for Pandora if I could find his azz

Any answers out there...................Color me pizzed.

Ok Google.

Turn off Pandora.


That ^ works.   

Some versions (but not all) have a "quit" option under those three bars.  In the Android task manager you can (usually) turn off one app at a time if you wish to also.  Actually more than one way to skin most cats in Android.

Go to setting, scroll down to Developer Options, scroll to the bottom to Inactive Apps, in there you can make them active or inactive each app by tapping the screen.
Not sure if this is going to help but it will keep apps turned off until you go back into them.

Good info. May I ask if anyone's had an issue with Pandora on an IPhone? Mine plays 1-2 songs then gets hung up and won't play. Had some baboon from Pandora emailing me he will look into it, but after about 4-5 contacts with him he quit responding. WTF. Is it a Mac thing?
I can listen to it every time on my Droid, to shut it off I hit pause if I'm in a hurry, then either swipe down the top bar and hit the X. Or hit the r/h touch pad next to home and swipe Pandora to the left.

Hitting pause shuts it off on my android
