Greetings!
I'm using Eurail Planner App V49.1.0 on Android (most up-to-date App in Google App Store) and the "manual add" option does not appear at the bottom of the list of "known" stations.
Specifically I am looking to add Fuengirola on the C1 RENFE Urban line from Malaga "Centro Alameda (Spain)" station.
I spoke to RENFE at the main Malaga station and they assured me that the line was operated by RENFE and I've seen a blog that suggests the station does not appear in the Eurail Planner because RENFE has not shared the timetable for that line with Eurail. The blog noted that the station needs to be added manually.
However, "Add Manually" does not appear at the bottom of the station list.
Would greatly appreciate suggestions - since I may encounter a similar issue with other "ghost" stations.
Thanks!

Above is right re trains-though using a passday for just this short+cheap trip seems a big waste of money to me. You can also pay with check IN+OUT with bank/cr.cd-as I myself have done several times last yr when staying in Torremolinos. THis is of course different if its the last+final leg after a long AVE ride. And yes; ALL RENFE cercanias/rodalies (=local, NON-RES regional trenes, also the former old FEVE lines in the far north) have to be added manually, ESpana is always mentioned-for this + various other reasons, as most pass-UNfriendly country
BUT your Q is about technical issues for the app. For that you have been pointed to the WRONg forum by mr google-this forum is slowly dying. Better go asap to community.eurail.com = the official one from the passes-there are also the technical people who take such issues usually speedily and thoroughly. Good luck with this!

Thanks!
Eurail support got back to me quickly as suggested. They recommended putting the same station in both the origin and destination fields which will then triger the "add manually" option.
FYI - I have a global pass and was using it for a day trip. Agree that otherwise using a "pass day" would not have been a good option from a cost perspective.
Cheers!
