Re: Voicedream not downloading book share books.

[Arianna Sepulveda]

Hi, Richard, I have almost 74 gigs free out of 256 gigs. Yes, I have both emptied the App Switcher and rebooted my phone. Nothing seems to make a difference. I'm almost tempted to uninstall and reinstall VDR and start over. I absolutely should not have to do this, however. It would totally mess up my library in terms of Bookshare downloads and such. I'm also not sure how much of the folder structure is preserved with the iCloud synching with VDR. I actually need to check that I have that on. I remember it being a huge issue when switching to a new iPhone in that nothing was synching to the new phone.

Do you clear out the app switcher? Have you rebooted?  Richard, USA “Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

I only use an iPhone, so I can't comment on library synching issues. However, it either takes two downloads of something and then I have to fully-working coppies, or I have to keep downloading something and then I have like 4 or 5 copies, only to have only the last work actually be functional. This totally sucks!

And then for whatever reason, it eventually becomes available. This was not the case before. I know I have a large library. But this is ridiculous. I thought they had fixed it. But now it’s just erratic as hell. I can pretty much count on downloading something on my iPad which is the fastest device I have, a mini six, it says it’s downloaded. I go there and they always say unavailable. And there’s a guessing game as to how I can magically make it become available. I don’t know who these folks are who took this over. But they’ve still got a problem. Before they add new features like new file types etc., I wish to God they would fix the problem they have with the basic download and hey this should be available right now, shouldn’t it? I’ve given up with my iPhone. I have a Voice Dream library on my iPhone and my iPad mini six. But the iPhone just doesn’t catch up ever. So I don’t open it ever. Stupid huh? I wish Winston had kept the app. These guys don’t know what they’re doing, or maybe they do, but then they should explain this stupid download problem. At least I’m not one of the poor suckers that has to keep paying for this app. I wouldn’t want to pay for it in the current state it’s in. Not as a newbie.   Sent from my iPhone On Jan 26, 2024, at 5:17 PM, Richard Turner <richardr_tur...@comcast.net> wrote:  After reading your message, I opened voice Dream Reader, and selected a book from bookshare and it downloaded in less than a minute. I would check your Bookshare settings and especially your internet connection. Do you have lots of apps open on your device? If so, close them out of the app switcher.           Richard, USA “Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

I have closed down the app and reopened it again and still those books all just seem to be stuck there and it keeps saying waiting and they will not download. Any suggestions? Is anyone else experiencing this bug? Thanks in advance. This is very frustrating as I depend heavily on Book Share for Both pleasure reading and for professional items.       Kerry   Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
