Pandora is one of the most popular music streaming services, allowing users to create customized radio stations based on their musical tastes. A key feature of Pandora is the ability to give songs a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” to train the app’s algorithm to play more music you enjoy.
If you’ve been a Pandora user for a while, you may have liked or disliked hundreds or even thousands of songs. Fortunately, Pandora gives you ways to view your full history of song ratings across all your stations.

Viewing Liked and Disliked Songs on Mobile
To see your liked and disliked songs in the Pandora mobile app:
- Open the Pandora app on your iPhone or Android phone
- Tap on your profile icon in the bottom right corner
- Select “Thumbs”
This will display your full list of liked and disliked tracks. The number of liked songs is shown at the top. You can scroll through the list to see the song titles, artists, and which Pandora station you liked or disliked them on.
To remove a song rating, swipe left on the track and tap the “X” icon. The song will revert to having no rating.
Viewing Liked and Disliked Songs on Desktop
You can also access your full thumb history on the Pandora website:
- Go to Pandora.com and log into your account
- Click on your profile icon in the top right corner
- Select “My Profile”
- Click on “Thumbs” in the sidebar
This will display the same thumb history – all your liked and disliked tracks across every Pandora station. You can remove ratings here as well by clicking the “X” next to any song.
Using Third-Party Sites
In addition to Pandora’s official options, some third-party sites have been created to help extract your full Pandora thumb history:
- PandoraSongs.com – Enter your Pandora username to retrieve all liked songs
- PandoraExtractor.appspot.com – Also retrieves liked songs (currently offline)
However, these unofficial services may not always be available, so use Pandora’s official thumb history when possible.
Viewing Likes On Specific Stations
To see just the liked songs on individual Pandora stations:
- On mobile, tap the station to enter it
- Tap the “i” icon in the top left
- Select “Backstage”
- Tap the pencil “Edit” icon
- Choose “Thumbed Up Songs”
This displays the liked songs only for that station. Repeat with other stations to view likes.
On desktop:
- Click the station name
- Click the dropdown arrow next to “Options”
- Choose “Station Details”
- Scroll down to “Thumb History”
- Click “Thumbs Up Songs” to see likes or “Thumbs Down Songs” to see dislikes
Why View Your Thumb History?
Here are some of the main reasons Pandora users want to access their full thumb history:
- Identify songs you want to add to playlists
- Unlike accidental dislikes that prevent unwanted songs from playing
- Discover forgotten songs you previously liked
- Evaluate if Pandora’s recommendations match your tastes
- Troubleshoot issues with likes not registering properly
So if you want more control over your Pandora experience, regularly checking your thumb history can help shape your stations and playlists.
