I would say give it a shot even on your 1x this is a really nice app and very clean sound. Just what I had been looking for!!

Awesome app AZ!!

I was worried that the Internet Proxy that my company has in place would block the streaming but it bypasses the proxy and uses the provider! (That's one of the reasons that I use Opera Mini!)

Also, I did find some local AM stations, so I will not miss another college game!!

Thank you again!!!!

You're welcome wahtx! Glad the review helped you find something useful

Josh, I got an email today saying they are hoping to roll out some updates/more stations within two weeks.

I got the ap downloaded/installed and it works great except for ONE small thing - I don't get any audio - ever. I emailed support and gave them my info. They were prompt and said they'd get to work on it and get back to me.

Other than that, I really like it!

I'm just trying 102.7 WWFS, one of the ones they provide. You'd think one of their "samples" would work.

Great signal. I can stream Moodio, MFRadio, etc. no problem. It IS weird. As I said, all the indicators are there and it looks like it's working great - if I were deaf, I wouldn't know the difference.

You know what, Cowboy? I wasn't. I just opened the ap and I got the same display and all the info and all the tunes, ads, etc. displayed on the screen BUT I tried the menu key and pressed "play" and it worked. Now I feel like a dope - since it LOOKED like it was working I would never have tried it - my other streaming aps just take off running once a station is selected.

Thanks a million for the suggestion!

Now I'd better notify Nobex that the problem was mine.

Glad I could help. Only reason I thought of it was it took me an hour Saturday to figure it out myself.

Have you figured out how to add the other playable stations? There are quite a few and some really good ones at that.
