> We’re excited to tell you that NLS has released version 2.0 of BARD Mobile for iOS. In this version, the BARD Website option is replaced by a new and powerful search engine that has the following abilities:
> 
>  Search by keyword, title, author, or annotation.
>  Search for either braille or audio content.
>  Use the Keyword search to search for narrators.
>  Search for items in the Music collection, including music appreciation and instructional materials as well as music scores.
>  Access all the options available from books in your wish list, Recently Added Books, etc., such as downloading directly from the search results page and viewing all the books by the same author or in the same series.
>  Enter an author's or narrator's name in any format and without quotation marks and get reliable results.
>  Enter words from a title without quotation marks and get reliable results.
>  Enter multiple types of information in a Keyword search, such as part of a title and an author’s last name or a title and narrator’s name, and get reliable results.
>  Change the type of search after you conduct the original search.
>  Sort search results by title, author, or latest (the publication date).
> To conduct a search, choose the Search option at the top of the Get Books screen, just above Wish List. Keyword is the default search type, and Audio is the default format. Change these settings if you like, type or dictate search terms in the search field, and choose Go or Search. To change the format or type of search from the Search Results page, select the search field at the top; all the options on the original search page are now available. To sort the search results, choose Title, Author, or Latest. To access options such as Download and viewing other books by the same author with VoiceOver, touch the title of interest, flick up or down to the desired choice, and double-tap. If you don’t use VoiceOver, select the More info button to the right of the title, and then choose either Download, Add to Wish List, or More Actions.
> 
> Additionally, Version 2.0 fixes problems with:
> 
>  Rewind controls skipping further than intended.
>  Side loading books.
>  Downloading and reading non-ASCII foreign language book titles.
> The update should be available by Friday, September 23rd. We hope you enjoy it.
