<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">NLS has released v. 2.1.1 (149) of the BARD Mobile App for Android.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The new version is available in the Google Play Store.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The updates include:</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Integration with BARD login</span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The BARD Mobile for Android app has been updated to integrate with the latest version of the BARD login system, offering a user-friendly interface for logging on, resetting a password and reviewing and accepting the End User License Agreement and Government Terms of Use.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Integration with BARD 2.0 </span></strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The app has been updated to integrate with the latest version of the BARD system, significantly enhancing overall performance and the user experience.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Android 15 support</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">The app has been upgraded to be fully compatible with Android 15. Prior Android versions 12 through 14 are also supported.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">New features and enhancements</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Playback speed can be adjusted by smaller increments and the speed adjustment labeling is more intuitive.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Improved the downloading experience by removing the step causing confusion for TalkBack users. Now, if there is only one default folder, such as Audio Books, the users do not need to select a folder.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Made it easier to move, create and name folders.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Improved the Clear Search feature.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 0in;"><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Improved monitoring. The app now has enhanced reporting features and standardized logging through a uniform sampling rate.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Bug fixes</span></strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Fixed the accessibility issue causing incorrect TalkBack focus after searching and downloading.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Fixed the bug where renaming the folder changed the order of titles.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;">Fixed the issue causing crashes.</span></li>
</ul>
