DuoRadio Player - Support
Questions, bugs or a station that will not play - we would like to hear from you.
Contact us
Email support@letsgetstashd.com with the subject "DuoRadio Player - Support" and we will get back to you. If something went wrong, tell us what you were doing, which iPhone, iPad or iPhone Duo you have, which station it was and which version of DuoRadio Player you are on. In the app, Settings shows the version.
Station removal requests
DuoRadio Player does not host or re-broadcast any radio. It plays streams that stations publish openly on the internet, and the station list comes from a public directory. If you run a station or own the rights to a stream and want it taken out of the app, email support@letsgetstashd.com with the subject "DuoRadio Player - Station removal", the station name and the stream address, and we will remove it in the next update.
Listening
Why will a station not play?
Streams are run by the stations themselves and they go offline, move or change address from time to time. Try again a little later, or pick another station. If it was a station you added yourself, check the stream address. Some stations only stream in certain countries and may not play where you are. If one will not play, try another. No login is needed.
Do I need to log in to listen?
No. No login is needed, and DuoRadio Player does not ask for any.
A station plays, but rewind, recording and the equaliser do not work.
A few streams, such as some encrypted ones, play in compatibility mode. DuoRadio Player tells you when that happens. In compatibility mode there is no equaliser, rewind or recording, and no loudness boost. Another station, or the same station at another time, may play normally.
Can I add my own station?
Yes. In the stations browser, choose to add a stream and enter its direct address (http or https). Playlist files such as .pls and .m3u are not supported, so use the address of the stream itself. Only add streams you have permission to listen to.
Some streams use plain http. Is that safe?
A few stations still stream over plain http and have no secure address. DuoRadio Player plays them because they are the only way to hear the station, and it is only audio. Nothing about you is sent beyond what any web request sends, such as your IP address.
A station has no logo, or the logo looks wrong.
Logos are fetched from the station's own website or a public logo host, and not every station has one. A station without a usable logo shows a letter badge instead. The station itself is not affected.
Rewind and recording
How does rewind work?
DuoRadio Player keeps the last five minutes of the station you are listening to. Use Back 30 seconds, or Previous track to replay the song that just played, and Live to jump back to now. When you are behind live, the display says so, and tapping it takes you back to live.
Where are my recordings?
In the Files app, under DuoRadio. You can also open Recordings from the More menu in the app. Recordings are for your own personal listening. They stay on your device, and we never receive them.
Can I record in the background or on a schedule?
No. You choose when to record, with the record button, or you can save the last five minutes of a station as a clip from Recordings. There is no automatic or scheduled recording.
Using it on an iPhone Duo
How do I use it on an iPhone Duo?
Open it flat and the radio fills the screen. Fold it part-way and the visualiser takes one half while the radio sits on the other. Stand it in a tent and the radio turns to landscape and fills the screen; Settings lets you choose what tent mode shows. On the cover display the click-wheel player fills the screen.
Where is the radio when the Duo is open in landscape?
The radio sits on the left half of the screen, with the visualiser backdrop and the buttons on the other half. In right-to-left languages it is mirrored.
Do I need a Duo?
No. DuoRadio Player is built for the iPhone Duo, and it works just as well on any iPhone and on iPad.
Sound and looks
How do I turn off the tuning noise between stations?
In Settings, switch off the analogue tuning effect. Station changes then use a plain short fade instead of static and a tuning sweep.
How do I set the sleep timer?
The sleep timer is part of Unlock everything. Open it from the radio, choose 15, 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 minutes or set your own, and extend it any time. The volume fades out over the final minutes, and you can choose how long the fade is in Settings. The time left shows on the radio and in a Live Activity.
The radio is quieter than my other apps.
Open Settings and choose a Loudness boost. It raises the level of the stream, with a limiter to protect it from distorting. Streams played in compatibility mode are not boosted.
What is the camera reflection?
An optional effect, off by default, that adds a faint reflection of what the camera sees to the glossy surfaces. DuoRadio Player asks for camera permission only when you switch it on. The pictures are processed on your device, are never saved or sent, and the camera stops when you switch the effect off.
Unlock everything
What does Unlock everything add?
DuoRadio Player is free with the click-wheel player, one visualiser and up to five favourites, without the equaliser or the sleep timer. Unlock everything is a one-time in-app purchase that adds every radio style, every visualiser, the equaliser, the sleep timer and unlimited favourites. It is not a subscription.
How do I restore my purchase?
In DuoRadio Player, choose Restore Purchases to bring Unlock everything back on a new or reset device. Purchases are handled entirely by Apple, and for a refund use Apple's Report a Problem page.
Privacy
Does DuoRadio Player track me?
No. There is no account, no advertising and no analytics, and we collect nothing. Your favourites, settings and recordings stay on your device. See the DuoRadio Player privacy policy for the detail.
Which version do I have?
Open DuoRadio Player and go to Settings: the version is shown there. DuoRadio Player is for iPhone and iPad, and it is designed for the iPhone Duo.
