Thank you Allen, Mark, and Josh. It was very helpful for me to know that the site was active. The problem persisted this morning. I tried again what I had tried last night, but with no benefit. I contacted my state’s talking library. They suggested I reset my password, which I did. With that, through Safari, I was able to login successfully to the Bard website, search for the book I wanted, and add it to my wish list. The app, however, still did not work for me. So, I deleted the app and reinstalled it, but with the same problem. I then powered off the phone, waited five minutes, and restarted the phone. this time I was met with a screen asking me to agree to the terms, and to login. I was successful at this. So this is one way of fixing this problem. While the phone was off, I received another message from the talking library folks. They suggested the following which, may be a more direct way of solving the problem. I included here just for people to know about this as an option. It might be useful with other app problems that we run across.
We suggest that you re-initialize the BARD Mobile app. To do this: 1. Close BARD Mobile 2. Open the Settings app on your iPhone 3. Choose BARD Mobile 4. Toggle on “Setting Initialization” 5. Open BARD Mobile again 6. Agree to the terms of use 7. Enter your username and password Thanks again.

BARD Mobile is not able to retain your books when you switch to a new device even if you restore a backup to it and the app is present on the new device. Several months between usage is quite a long time so I suspect you could be dealing with some other issue. Are you able to access the bottomline toolbar of the BARD Mobile app and double tap on the Settings button which is the third button from the left? If yes, do so and then double tap on User account settings and then double tap on BARD account and confirm your login information. There is an option on that screen to Send diagnostic log to NLS that you might try. The other option is to write BARD Support at nlsdownl...@loc.gov. They are very good at helping.

I tried tonight, and there was nothing there. The books and other items I had downloaded were gone. If I double tap on anything nothing happens. I suppose it could be down. But I wonder if I may have missed some other problem that�s been affecting the site. have others been having problems? Thanks in advance.
