About this app

WFAE Public Radio App:

The WFAE Public Radio App allows you to listen to WFAE live, pause and rewind the live audio, and view the program schedule for the WFAE stream all at once! You can explore On Demand content, search for stories, bookmark a story for later, and wake up to WFAE with the alarm clock!

Live Streaming
• DVR-like controls (pause, rewind, and fast forward). You can pause the live stream to have a conversation and pick up right where you left off! Or rewind to catch a comment you just missed!
• Listen to live streams from WFAE even while traveling! Start the app and your favorite station starts playing – no clicks to start listening.
• Integrated program schedules for every station. You can display up to three of your favorites at a time or flick once to see the schedules for all of your favorite stations.
• One click stream switching – flip over to the program you noticed on another stream with a single click.
• Listen to WFAE in the background while browsing the web or catching up on your emails!

On Demand
• Access public radio programs from multiple content providers (NPR, PRI, APM and WFAE) easily and quickly.
• DVR-like controls. Pause, rewind and fast forward your program with ease.
• When listening to national programs, individual story segments (when available) are listed so you can review and choose one or listen to the entire program.
• Easy to access past programs.
• The WFAE Public Radio App displays the web page associated with the program or story segment you are listening to On Demand so you can explore for more information.

Radio Bookmarks
• Save what you were listening to (Live or On Demand) so you can replay, follow-up, or share it later by simply clicking “Bookmark”.
• Compatible with the popular Radio Bookmark device (www.radiobookmark.com).

I love being able to take WFAE with me, but there's one problem. The volume turns off randomly. I've never tried to download podcasts, I've never heard disruptive ads, and I don't understand the third question below. How can an app be considerate of my time if I control when it's on or off? It doesn't turn on by itself.

Dismayed that Science Friday is being bounced! Having WFAE available for driveway moments is invaluable. I listen to the news and my favorite programs...Charlotte Talks, 1A, Hidden Brain, Science Friday ETC or the jazz channel at night as backgound to creatve work. When I am running late or when there are traffic-related or weather issues, this app is a practical benefit. WFAE keeps me up to date with responsibly reported news and I can "learn stuff" while working.

So many excellent local and national/international public radio programs available on the WFAE app... if you switch between using a podcast app (Android) and this app, you'll be a little frustrated by the lack of a pause feature. but otherwise, excellent access.
