Accessibility Comments
I like this app, but Voiceover while talking really lowers the volume in this app. Most apps the volume comes back quickly, but in this app it stays down a bit longer. Good app though, and its free.

#1 account creation does not work
When I created a new account with this app, I had to turn VO off and have a sighted person tap the graphic to submit my details and create the account. I emailed Pandora about this, and a couple other small issues I found (such as the 2-finger double tap), and they said they would look into it, for what that is worth.
#2 Update
Made some improvements. All buttons are now labeled. Double tap now start and stop music. Haven't tried creating a new account to see if they have fix this issue or not.

#3 Registering for Pandora
I tried to register yesterday and had the same problem, needing sighted assistance to complete the task. My son explained that you had to hit "done" and then "submit registration" or something like that, and in that order. Not sure about that, but it was not a smooth process. But now that I am in, I love the app.
