Pandora play modes in new app

I was able to play Pandora deep cuts in the current app by going to pandora, opening an artist, and selecting deep cuts.

I then did the following while in deep cuts:

1. Select the icon in the bottom of the screen that is the second from the right (It might be called “Airplay”?).

2. 

   Once the”Airplay” box appears, I selected “Living Room” under “Speakers and Tv,” which is the name of one of my Sonos systems.

   

    

Voila, deep cuts was playing on the new app. It’s not the most seem-less deep cuts connection imaginable, but at least it works. Nonetheless, I still dropped a note to the Sonos ceo asking them to bring back deep cuts on the app, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Just adding my two cents.  I am looking for modes to return to the app.  I won’t go on about how horrible this update has been.  SMH.

Weighing in on the crazy Pandora downgrade for the new app.

Modes is part of Pandora, please add support back!

New app is not good takes forever to load and sometimes it won't ..  can't access Pandora modes currently it's not as user-friendly but hopefully will get used to it

Well, checking back in after two months.  I have been satisfied with using the old app version (thanks @Twonky for the suggestion), but appears now they are forcing the update as the older app is no longer functional.  Still haven’t fixed/added the Pandora play modes to the new version. Beyond frustrating.  Anyone have new suggestions or similar experience?

I found this nugget from a user on the Pandora community forum:

Pandora "Modes" is not compatible with new Sonos app. I am told that Sonos released the new app without informing content providers with the api changes and this broke most of the integrations and there are no documentation provided in what exactly changed and it is up to the developers to try to find what changes they have to do in order to get their service running on the new app.  

So, sounds like it is on Pandora to try to resolve this on their own.
