In case some are not aware:


We are pleased to inform you that the BARD Mobile app for iOS mobile 
devices has been updated.  Version 1.1 can be downloaded from the Apple 
App Store.
According to the National Library Service for the Blind and Handicapped, 
this updated version of the app includes the following features:

*       Built-in sleep timer
*       New setting that keeps device from sleeping while download is in 
progress
*       Add to wish list directly from details screen

*       Improved VoiceOver hints and labels
*       New braille shortcut key

The BARD Mobile app enables NLS patrons to download audio and braille 
books, magazines, and music scores directly to their iPhone, iPad, or 
iPod touch,
provided they have a BARD account. A refreshable braille display is 
required to read downloaded braille materials. The user guide is 
available in the Help
section of the app and online in HTML format at:
