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.

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 into  NFB-NEWSLINE
