[nfb-talk] FW: Four New Publications Added to NFB-NEWSLINE

[Mike]

You have to add the subscriptions you want, and them download them.  The 
problem is that the app crashes so frequently if you VO around to fast, 
or if you try to download what you have subscribed to that it's almost 
not worth trying.  If they can fix those bugs then it'd be great.  I'm 
very surprised that this has happened.  Blio had the exact same problem 
when it was first released, not even being remotely accessible for a 
good long time.
Mike.
