[nfb-talk] FW: Four New Publications Added to NFB-NEWSLINE

[Mike Freeman]

The only crashes I've heard of had to do with iOS 6. Melanie Peskoe was
having some troubles. I'm still using an iPhone 4 and, barring a couple of
random crashes, I haven't had problems, either.

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.

 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

the
 Blind, is the third new publication.  This is available in the 
magazine

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.
