[Nfbf-l] Fw: [gui-talk] NFB Newsline app now available

[Sherri]

Grant, I unfortunately don't have an IPhone, but will probably get one 
someday. Glad you are enjoying the app. It's cool, because you don't have to 
use your minutes to use Newsline. Now they just need to keep track of how 
many users are using the App. Thanks for the positive review.

Hi Sherri,

I installed the Newsline app last night and absolutely love it. You will
also. It is what we have been needing for a long time since the I-Phone has
become so popular with blind consumers. It is wonderful!

For those of you using Newsline who own IPhones, please note the following.
I'm Newsline chair for Florida and I actually learned about this on a tweet.

Sounds like a great IPhone app. If you want to know your Newsline
information, or want to sign up, please email nme at flmom2006 at gmail.com and
I will be glad to help you. Thanks.

Hi there.

Late last night, I got word from the Accessible IOS e-mail list that an app
for NFB newsline had been put in the app store.  I got it and so far, hey,
what can I tell yuh?  It works great.  The text of all publications is
available, and also, TV listings.  One of the way cool things about doing
the TV listings via the Newsline Mobile app is that unlike using the
telephone, one can get spellings for items in a listing.  With respect to
publications, that's one of the easiest parts of the app to use.  You can
select from your states publications, or, if you wish, all of the
publications on Newsline.  YOu can also edit your favorites right from the
app also.  Once you've selected a publication and then an issue for it, you
can select either a given section or the entire paper.  Either way, the
articles are provided at the heading level so moving back and forth between
them is really easy.  Going word by word and line by line is a matter of
knowing how to navigate according to the standard Voice Over controls.  The
tabs for controlling the app are at the bottom of the screen, so, finding
the controls could not be easier.  I would, of course, not claim to yet know

everything about the app, but, hey, I can tell you this.  For those of us
who have an use and love our Iphones, it's a terrific way to help the NFB
save money on the Newsline phone bill.  Not to mention which, using the app
won't count against your talk minutes.

I guess maybe they'll be a version for the Android eventually, if there's
not one already.

Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!

Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!
