Getting Started
Tap any station from the Home, Search, or Favorites tab to start playing instantly. A mini player appears at the bottom of the screen so you can keep browsing while listening.
Tap the Search tab and type the station name, city, or keyword. You can also browse by country or genre in the Explore tab.
No — Aelith streams live radio over the internet, so an active internet connection (Wi-Fi or cellular) is required to play stations. Your favorites list and app settings are available offline.
Stations & Playback
Some stations may be temporarily offline or their stream URL may have changed. Try these steps:
- Check your internet connection
- Tap the station again to retry
- Try a different station — if others work, the specific station may be down
Tap the play/stop button in the mini player at the bottom of the screen, or open the full player and tap the button there. Live radio streams cannot be paused — stopping will end the stream.
Yes. Aelith continues playing when you leave the app or lock your screen. You can control playback from the Lock Screen or Control Center using the Now Playing controls.
Buffering is usually caused by a slow connection or the station's server. Try:
- Switch to Wi-Fi if you're on cellular
- Move to an area with better signal
- Stop and restart the stream — tap the station again
- Try a different station to confirm it's not your connection
Favorites
Tap the heart icon next to any station in search results, on the Home tab, or inside the full player. The station will appear in your Favorites tab instantly.
The free version of Aelith allows up to 20 saved favorites. Once you reach the limit, you'll need to remove a station before adding a new one.
Upgrade to Aelith Pro for unlimited favorites — plus iCloud sync, podcasts, and more.
Tap the heart icon again on any favorited station to remove it. You can also swipe left on a station in the Favorites tab to delete it.
Explore
Go to the Explore tab. You'll see a list of countries and genres. Tap any country or genre to see its stations.
Tap See all countries to browse the full list of over 200 countries.
Long-press a country to save it — it will appear in your Saved section at the top of the Explore tab. For genres, tap the bookmark icon next to a genre chip to save it.
Widget
Long-press your Home Screen → tap + in the top-left corner → search for Aelith → choose a widget size and tap Add Widget.
The widget shows your recently played station and lets you tap to open the app directly.
