yes it will, and it is a wonderful app.
I have it on the IPod as well as the phone.
Just look up your information and you will be added.
They ask for this when you get it down loaded.
Once you are in, you see TV listings as well as
publications, this is where you tab if you have your listings set up,
the first on mine is the news paper,
then as you go down the favorites, you will find magazines and what 
ever else you have saved.
the Braille Monitor.
Hope this helps.
