Hello,
I am not sure what crashes you are speaking of.
I have a i Phone 5 and use the app quite often, but have not
experienced any crashes.
The app seems to work just fine for me.

Why don't they work on fixing the app itself and then adding new
publications? I'd love to see an iPhone 5 compatible version,
and the
app is so buggy that it takes a good 5-10 tries to download any
publications because the app crashes so much.
Mike.

Why would NFB Newsline put an ACB magazine on their site?
Things that make you go "hmmm?"

Four New Publications Added to NFB-NEWSLINE
December 5, 2012
We are pleased to inform you that we have added four new
publications
to NFB-NEWSLINE service, which brings our total to 361
publications.
NFB-NEWSLINE is an audio information service for the blind which
provides access to print publications. We have 307 newspapers,
including the Associated Press newswire and the United Press
International newswire; 38 magazines such as the Economist and
AARP
Magazine; ten international newspapers including the China Daily
and
the Jerusalem Post, and four Blindness Specific publications
such as
the Braille Monitor and the Matilda Ziegler Magazine.
Two of the four new publications are part of a new category
labeled
Breaking News Online. These are the Huffington Post, a very
well-known
online site, and CNN, which is part of Turner Broadcasting
Systems
cable news network. To access the new Breaking News Online
publications, select option 5 off the main menu and then press
1.
The ACB Braille Forum, a publication of the American Council of
the
Blind, is the third new publication. This is available in the
magazine
section, in the Blindness Specific category, option 7 from the
main
menu followed by option 1.
Finally, a newspaper from Topeka, Kansas, rounds out the
additions,
the Topeka Capital Journal, available by accessing option number
5
from the main menu and then navigating to the state of Kansas.
NFB-NEWSLINE subscribers living in Kansas can access the Topeka
Capital Journal by just pressing the number 3 key after logging
