Cristobal,

 

I believe this BARD Mobile crashing issue began with some version of iOS 8
although I'm not sure which one. I normally experience it when initiating a
download from my wish list. I'll double tap the wish list book to begin the
download and when I tap to confirm it, the app closes. It is still running
in the App Switcher and when I go back to BARD Mobile, I usually find the
book I tried to download listed under my bookshelf with the audiobook
download in progress.

 

I suspect this and other issues that arose after the iOS 8 release have to
do with something that changed with VoiceOver and app interaction with it
that causes the app not to work as well as it did under iOS 7. To be fair to
NLS, this isn't the only app I use that has had similar issues with iOS 8
which is why I'm never in a hurry to upgrade to a new iOS or an app version
when what I use is working properly. These devices are extremely complex and
quite frankly there is a lot that can go wrong especially when throwing
accessibility into the mix.

 

I find the BARD Mobile quirks to be a minor annoyance since they are not
consistent and the app performs well at enabling me to read my BARD books on
my iPhone. Hopefully, when they release a new iOS version of the BARD Mobile
app, the issues will be resolved. Then, we can probably look forward to
another round when Apple releases iOS 9 in September.

Subject: Bard crashing issue

 

Hello list,

 

So I’ve been noticing this for the past few months now and was curious if
others were experiencing the same thing. 

>From within the Bard app (iPhone 5 iOS 8.3) the app consistently crashes on
me while in my wishlist of books. I don’t ever recall it crashing while in
other tabs like the bookshelf tab or even if I’m browsing the bard site and
doing different searches, again, from within the app. 

 

I’m pretty sure this didn’t happen with earlier versions of iOS 7 and don’t’
remember on what version of iOS 8 I was on when I first started noticing it.

Anyway, does the Bard app crash on others as well? I poked around in the
settings tab but didn’t really find any means to contact the development
team about it. I’m guessing one would have to do so through the regular
website contact information there?

 

Thanks,

Cristobal
