Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

Hi, The braille shortcut is that pressing T skips you past blank lines to the next text. As for the sleep timer, the explanation I heard was that they wanted the app to work as much like the free library player as possible, and that's why they designed it the way they did. Best, Anna > On

For me, a braille user, it was NOT very usable in the earlier update. I just hope it works better with braille books now. Sent from my iPhone > On Oct 19, 2015, at 9:57 PM, Christopher Chaltain wrote: > > The BARD Mobile app would have to have a cloud component, but maybe

Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

Has anyone worked out what the new braille shortcut key is? The Help document inside the app hasn't been updated to reflect the new changes, and the app store release notes don't elaborate. I think I understand everything else about the update but this one braille feature. Matthew -- The

Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

Another thing that they added was an add/delete to/from wish list button in the more info page for a book. So if you are looking at recent books or magazines, then in addition to downloading the book on the more info screen you can now add it to your wish list. If however you are looking at the

Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

My greatest wish for the Bard reading app would be the ability to let's say I start reading a book on my iPhone. Now I come home. I pull out my trusty dusty iPad, open up the Bard reading app, select the same book I was just reading and pickup from where I left off. There has to be a way to

Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

Yes, it is possible. I do it all the time with Kindle books and books from Audible. My concern, with BARD, would be spending time and effort on something like this rather than on increasing the number of available books. David Justice :) > On Oct 19, 2015, at 10:31 AM, Alan Paganelli

Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

grr, that’s a major bummer for me. I can’t even use the BARD app because I typically need to use headphones and I am always interrupted by a phone call or the kids. It was just too incredibly frustrating to not be able to quickly pause and resume playback. It almost always started playing

HI Christina, Try removing other audio apps from the app switcher before you start using BARD Mobile. This may help. Best, Anna > On Oct 19, 2015, at 12:29 PM, Christina C. wrote: > > grr, that’s a major bummer for me. I can’t even use the BARD app because I >

Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

Thanks Anna, I have tried this in the past with the previous version of BARD and it never worked. I also have tried clearing the app switcher and rebooting my phone and then opening only the BARD app and it will still get confused and start playing music. :( This is all before the latest BARD

Re: BARD Mobile Finally Recieves an Update

The BARD Mobile app would have to have a cloud component, but maybe it could leverage the account you already have on the BARD site. I wouldn't worry about this taking resources away from the recording and distribution of books though. I'm fairly certain those are separate sets of resources.

Ah, the rule of thumb, where the government is envolved, is to not hold your breath waiting for something to happen (Smile). On the other hand, as I understand it the BARD for Android was written in house, while the one for iOS was contracted out. The BARD app for Android just came out this

Given that it took them 2 years to release an update, how long would someone be willing to wait for further development of their favorite features in the BARD Mobile app? I'm sure it will be developed, but let's remember that the government has their own timeline and update schedule. Wayne On
