Hi, richard,

Alas, you have to use the timer on your iPhone to do this:

Choose the 'clock' app.

The fourth (bottom right) selection on that app is 'timer'.

Set the timer for how long you want to play.  When you get to the 'when timer ends' selection, choose 'stop playing'.  the trick here (and this is a bit annoying if you ask me), is that the music or book or whatever has to be playing when you set the timer in order for the 'stop playing' selection to appear.  This most likely means you'll miss some of the book while setting the timer… I guess that's what the 'rewind' button is for.

They had to have something to fix in version 1.1!..

How do we put a timer on it? To shut it off like in 1 hour? Richard

I absolutely love the app! I'm still keeping my BookSense around, though.

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!

Dear List Members,

We are excited to tell you that the BARD mobile iOS app is out!
There are several things which we thought those of you interested in
the app would want to know before you download it, and things you
might want to do in order to ensure that you'll be able to use the
app right away without frustration.

BARD Mobile will work on any iOS device running iOS 4.3.3 or later.
This includes the iPhone 3GS and all later iPhones, all iPads, and
fourth generation or later iPod touches. If you have one of these
devices, be sure it is running iOS 4.3.3 or later.

You can't use a temporary password when logging onto BARD from the
app, so be sure you have a working BARD username and permanent
password before you attempt to log in with BARD Mobile. The app also
will not work if you need to agree to the BARD pledge. If you have a
temporary password, log into the BARD website at
https://nlsbard.loc.gov to create a new password. And even if you
have a working password, it's a good idea to log into the website
and 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!

Sincerely,
The BARD Technical Support Team
