Eric, I do not have a I phone, this was sent to me by someone else and it is a demo, does that make a difference, try it. Try the link below;

Here's a link to an audio demo of the new BARD app!

>> will not work if you need to agree to the BARD pledge. If you have a

>> take the pledge if requested. Note that you can log into the BARD 
>> website using Safari on an iOS device if you like.
>>
>> The BARD Mobile app allows you to download items from the Recently 
>> Added Books and Recently Added Magazines sections of the BARD site 
>> and from your wish list. So if there are books you know you're going 
>> to want to read right away, add them to your wish list. It is also 
>> easy to add books to your wish list from within BARD Mobile because 
>> when you browse the site either from within the app or from Safari on 
>> your iOS device, the Download link following every book title changes to an Add to Wish List link.
>>
>> BARD Mobile must be open while books are downloading; if you switch 
>> to a different app, downloading will stop. Also, the screen must be 
>> unlocked throughout the download process.
>>
>> We encourage you to take a look at the BARD Mobile user guide. You 
>> can find it at 
>> https://nlsbard.loc.gov/apidocs/BARDMobile.userguide.iOS.1.0.html.
>> The manual is also available in the app, in the Help section of the 
>> BARD Mobile bookshelf.
>>
>> If you want to read braille books with BARD Mobile, you'll need a 
>> braille display. Be sure to read Section 7 of the user guide, as it 
>> explains how to configure your display and provides keystrokes that 
>> make reading braille a smooth experience.
>>
>> If you have BARD books or magazines on your computer, you can use 
>> iTunes file sharing or Dropbox to load them into BARD Mobile. Load 
>> them as zip files; BARD Mobile will unpack them automatically. When 
>> you open a talking book or magazine that you have loaded in this way 
>> for the first time, be sure BARD Mobile has access to the Internet, 
>> as the app will need to download an authorization file from the BARD 
>> website. This step is not necessary for braille files.
>>
>> This should be enough info to get you started. Enjoy the app!
