    Noah: Can you give us more detail? Please contact our help team at publicradioplayer [at] prx [dot] org.

    Wbraud: If you’re in need of a favorites function, our stations are doing something right. To set a favorite, tap the star on the upper right of every station stream or on-demand program page. When it’s white, the favorite has been saved. To un-favorite, tap the star again so it’s green. To see your list of favorites, tap “Favorites” on the bottom black bar when you launch the app. Coming soon: The ability to manage items on the Favorites page itself.

    Love the quality of the app, but can’t figure out how to set a FAVORITE!? Any help would be appreciated.

    I’m so confused. I do what you guys say and the player keeps giving me these invalid argument popups. Could you post a manaul or something please. Thanks.

    Hello Emma,

    Thanks for downloading the Player. This app offers noncommercial stations – also known as “public radio” or “community radio” stations. That still leaves you with about 450 station streams and over a thousand programs to choose from.

    To find your local public radio stations, launch the Player and tap the “Local” button on the upper right.

    You can learn more at our FAQ here: http://www.publicradioplayer.org/?page_id=2 Scroll down to the first question.

    Enjoy.

    How do I get my local radio stations on the Public Radio App in which I downloaded? I am looking for WEEU 830 AM. Can you help?
