Yes, when downloading a book, the BARD app has to be the current app
running.
If you switch to another app, then the download will stop.
I downloaded two books this afternoon, and it only took a couple of Minutes
per book with my iPhone 5.

Does BARD have to be on-screen for downloading, or can it run in the
background while using other apps? The info below talks about "if you leave
BARD", but I'm not exactly sure what this means. Thanks for the info. Keith

Dear List Members,
Here are the steps for downloading a book with BARD Mobile, the iPhone app
for using BARD.
Open BARD Mobile, and Choose the Get Books tab. You have several options on
this screen.
If you want to download a book from your wish list, choose the first option,
which is Wish List. If you double-tap this option, your wish list will be
displayed in reverse chronological order. Double-tap the title of the item
you wish to download.
Next is a section called Recently Added Titles. It includes four options:
Audio Books, Audio Magazines, Braille Books, and Braille Magazines.
Double-tap the option you want to see a list of recently added titles in
that category. Each item on this screen includes the title and a More Info
button. Double-tap the title of the item you want to download, or double-tap
More Info to see a synopsis or other information. There is a Download button
on the More Info screen, which you can double-tap if you decide to download
the item.
The final section on the Get Books screen is called BARD Website. It
includes one option: Browse BARD. If you double-tap this option, the BARD
main page opens. Use the search options on this page to find books as you
normally would. The link following each book title is an Add to Wish List
button, so you can easily add the books or magazines you find to your wish
list.
You have several navigation options while browsing BARD. In the top center
of the screen is a heading called BARD. To its right are Back and Forward
buttons. These work like the standard Back and Forward buttons in a web
browser; the Back button takes you to the page you last visited, and the
Forward button returns you to a page if you have used the Back button to go
to a previous page.
To the left of the BARD heading is another Back button. This one takes you
out of the BARD site and back to BARD Mobile. This is the button you'll want
to double-tap after you have added books to your wish list and want to
download them. So the procedure for choosing and downloading books from the
BARD main page is as follows:
1. Find the books and/or magazines you want to download, and add them
to your wish list.
2. Double-tap the Back button to the left of the BARD heading to return
to BARD Mobile.
3. Double-tap the Wish List option.
4. Double-tap the title you want to download. A confirmation message
will appear.
5. Select OK.
While the title is downloading, you can double-tap it to pause. Double-tap
it again to resume the download.
Selected items will download one after another in the order they were
selected. If you double-tap an item already queued for download, it will be
moved to the top of the queue.
If you leave BARD Mobile while items are being downloaded or the screen
locks, downloading will stop. Downloading should resume the next time you
open the app. If it doesn't, select the bookshelf tab. All items you are
trying to download are listed there and labeled "Queued for download."
Double-tap the item or items you want to download.
BARD Mobile will always download via wi-fi if it is available. If you're not
in wi-fi range, BARD will download via the cellular network if you have
turned on "Download over mobile network" in the User Account section of
Settings. If this option is off, BARD Mobile will stop downloading until it
has access to wi-fi again.
We hope this information will help as you begin to use BARD Mobile.
Sincerely,
The BARD Technical Support Team
