The following favorite features return; listeners can:
- Bookmark (or star) audio to listen again later;
- Share compelling stories with a friend;
- Rewind the live stream you’ve been listening to by 10 seconds at a time to quickly hear something again; forward in 30-second intervals to catch up;
- Wake up to Morning Edition with the STLPR alarm clock.
If you already have the STLPR app, the new app will be installed in the next update. You won’t need to download it again from your app store.
The app was developed for STLPR by Public Media Apps, a technology company that provides solutions for public media stations nationwide.
