I saved up for a few months to get the Naki radio, we don’t usually give any Chanuka gifts at all because not in our budget. (My kids don’t know better, oldest is 10 so no need to feel bad Wink

I figured I will enjoy the music and my kids can enjoy the stories.
Now comes where I need help
-when we unplug it doesn’t work, is that how it’s supposed to be? It’s really annoying. (Has been charging for days)
- kids chose some gedolim stories and right away it started a story and after a few min it said go pay premium $5 a month???
I can’t afford that but also don’t want to!! I’m so annoyed, are most stories interrupted and want me to pay more?

No! I think you are using it wrong. Did you connect radio to your WiFi?

Yes
The radio stations are working, so I can listen to music (but I don’t have a good plug in the kitchen..)
For the stories my kids go into libraries

You have to open up the battery compartment and switch the battery to "on" (not sure why they make it like that...)
As far as the channels they have a whole new system. You need to go on to their website and make an account for the portal. There you can see all the channels they offer and you could switch which ones you want to show up on your radio and which ones not. It also tells you which ones are free and which ones need a paid subscription. There are many many many free ones to choose from.
But yes the whole thing has gotten a bit confusing

You need to add batteries to make it portable.

Re: gedolim stories, it's by far my kids favorite. There are prob like 8 hours or so of free stories- the entire Chasam Sofer (I've heard the stories many times w my kids and they really are good).
That commercial comes on like 2x during the 20min story.
To get access to the new stories, after chasam Sofer, there is a separate paid subscription channel for $5/month. We got that too bc it's far and away my kid's favorite and those don't have commercials that I've noticed.

Thank you so much, this information is very helpful!
I am still quite annoyed that they are charging for some stations, I didn’t see that ANYWHERE when I purchased it..

Thank you for this. But it says online to enter the temporary id. They say it’s by station list but it’s not on my radio. I emailed them but does anyone have other ideas?

Do you have the latest software update? Maybe you need to update first to get the ID

Also I've found their response time to be pretty quick, so hopefully they can help you
