We are pleased to announce that NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App 2.0 is now in the 
Apple App Store for you to download. We have made several improvements and 
smoothed out some of the bugs that appeared after the iOS 6.0 update was 
released by Apple. Now you should have a better user experience and access 
to some of the other information provided by NFB-NEWSLINE®.

Now you can receive your emergency weather alerts right on your iPhone with 
the NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App. If there is a weather alert for your area, 
and your address and zip code is up to date on your NFB-NEWSLINE® account, 
you will hear a message saying Â"weather alertÂ" when you launch your 
NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile app, and you will feel your iPhone vibrate. Just 
double tap on the weather alert button when you hear the alert, and you can 
read the entire weather alert on your iPhone. Please keep in mind that only 
the iPhone will vibrate, since only the iPhone has the built-in vibration 
motor. Those of you running the NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App on an iPad or an 
iPod will only receive the voice alert without the vibration. If you want to 
get just the vibration alert without the voice alert, you can turn off the 
voice alert for weather alerts in the settings menu. If you need to update 
your address and zip code, you can call 1-866-504-7300, or e-mail 
nfbnewsline-ios at nfb.org.

We have also added a Messages section, so that you may read the latest 
announcements and information that we post on NFB-NEWSLINE®. We put up 
messages from time to time to inform our subscribers about latest 
enhancements and changes to NFB-NEWSLINE®, and these can be read from the 
Messages section in the NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App. The Messages button will 
appear under the welcome message on your home screen. Please note that 
messages will only appear if you have active Internet service through a 
Wi-Fi connection or your mobile carrier. You can also read more extensively 
about these new changes and enhancements to NFB-NEWSLINE® in the Messages 
section.

We have made other small improvements and changes to the NFB-NEWSLINE® 
Mobile App that will enhance your user experience. For example, now you can 
update your subscriptions in the subscriptions section without any problems, 
and the jump to channel on-screen keyboard in the TV listings has been 
improved so that now you get the numeric keypad when typing in a channel 
number instead of the full QWERTY keyboard.

Once again, we would like to remind you that we have added two new 
publications in 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 SystemÂ's cable news network.

The Breaking News Online category can be found by first selecting the 
Publications button off the home screen of the app, and then selecting 
Publication Options toward the bottom of the screen. Finally, select the 
Publication Groups button to see a list of available groups including the 
new Breaking News Online category. Optionally, to add the online breaking 
news publications to your favorites list or your subscriptions list on the 
NFB-NEWSLINE® App, just go to Settings, and then select either Manage 
Favorites or Manage Subscriptions, depending on which you want to add it to, 
then select either the Add to Favorites button at the bottom of the screen, 
or the Add to Subscriptions button, and pick the publication that you want 
to add from the list.

In order to update your NFB-NEWSLINE® App, just go to the App store, then 
to the Updates tab, and you should see NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile as one of the 
applications listed as ready to update. Select the update button, and it 
should start to download the new version of the app on to your device.

Please enjoy the new enhancements to the NFB-NEWSLINE® Mobile App, and give 
us your feedback by e-mail at swhite at nfb.org, or call our comment line at 
410-505-5896 and leave us a voice message.

The NFB-NEWSLINE® Team
