I look forward to it every morning. Thanks for being the best station ever! And I live in Goulburn 😃 ### 5/5 — Star 1045 *2022-04-13* Good app ### 5/5 — Nice *2021-10-31* Nice ### 1/5 — Why *2021-06-22* The first version of the app had just the radio and was quick to start and play with no mess. Then the update came and made it all messy and not been able to see the song playing. I’ll add it is nice having podcasts But with this latest version I have deleted the app since it requires a Nova account to listen now. There is no need to sign up for this when I could listen to it before just fine and on the radio. Shame because I love this station but come on!

Can you please check that out. ### 2/5 — Not working properly? *2019-03-22* This app is usually great but doesn’t seem to be working properly. The “Now playing” tab no longer lists the song currently playing and seems to replicate the “On air” tab. And the list of “Previously played” songs isn’t updating 🙁 ### 5/5 — Great!! *2019-02-22* Moved away from the Central Coast a number of years ago. Didn’t know this app existed! I am sooooo glad I found it. Star 104.5 has had the best mix of new and old music for years. Very happy I’m listening to u guys again and the great programming. And the app works well. Cheers 🍺 ### 5/5 — Love having the variety with me everywhere *2018-07-17* Great app, works extremely well with no dramas. Only suggestion is can you make it Apple CarPlay compatible like your sister stations apps. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!! *2016-02-17* This is so cool! I can finally listen to StarFM on Apple! So easy to use! ## Frequently asked questions about Star 104.5 Player ### Does Star 104.5 Player have ads? Yes, Star 104.5 Player contains advertisements.
