[GUI-Talk] Problems With The iOS Bard Mobil Application 1.3.3

Tue Jan 5 19:46:58 UTC 2021

My Bard Mobile used to work that way.  Currently swiping down on a title in bookshelf just reads one character at a time.  Perhaps iOS has changed the way it opens context menus.  My iOS version is 14.3.

If you go to settings, and swipe right a few times, you will see the Bard version number.  I am currently at 1.3.3.  I have my updates set to automatic.

Can you check your version number?

Can you check your iOS version?

Thanks for your advice.

I can and my roter was set to charactors.
When you are in the recently read tab though, you can't delete anything.
On my bookself, one swipe down deletes, another will say "other actions" which lets you see other books by the same author or books involving the same topic, there is actually a wide selection of options as well as delete.

Thank you but when I try this, I just get an action based upon my rotor.  For example, if my rotor is set to characters, swiping down just advances voiceover by one character.

However, swiping down used to delete books.

If you can still delete books by swiping down, what is your rotor setting?

Thanks.

You can also not worry about the edit feature and just swipe down with your finger, that will delete a title.
