Announcing 1.4.5 of BARD Mobile for Android


NLS announces version 1.4.5 of the BARD Mobile Android app. This release
brings major improvements, bug fixes, and increased stability since the
March 2022 release.

Version 1.4.5 includes:

*         the ability to pause and resume downloads 

*         sort and search capabilities in Bookshelves and the various Get
Book lists 

*         the ability to delete books from Wish List 

*         a new More Info book details screen 

*         the ability to switch Recently Read books within the Now Reading
screen 

*         a new Settings tab with new settings for User Account and Audio
Settings pages 

*         a number of features in Audio Settings that are default set to
"off," such as: 

o    background playback to play books without the screen on 

o    auto-lock during playback to support uninterrupted background playback
of books 

o    automatic start playback to automate playing of books loading in the
Now Reading screen 

o    automatic five-second rewind from the last reading position when
returning to the Now Reading screen to resume playback 

 The release includes more than a dozen bug fixes that include:

*         app stability with poor network connectivity, interruptions, and
accessibility and configuration changes 

*         audiobook Now Reading playback issues 

*         resuming paused books downloads 

*         issues with Sleep Timer when navigating from other parts of the
app 

*         rewind and fast forward audio notifications 

*         corrections to book narrator metadata fields displayed 

Users should be able to update supported Android devices by Friday,
September 9. If users have not automated BARD Mobile updates, they will need
to go to the BARD Mobile entry in Google's Play Store and enable the update.
NLS recommends users enable the option to automate updates to ensure they
receive timely updates. BARD Mobile users can confirm that they are running
the latest version by checking the bottom of the app's Settings screen.
