oh good, I'm glad someone knows that there have been some changes made since I first downloaded that app. I've been using it forever until the new phone when I downloaded it again. But it's got all these things in there that I didn't put in there and it won't let me delete them. That's when I wrote bob Watson and he told me I needed to get it through test flight and it is somehow linked to knFB reader. i used to have that scanning program but I deleted it ages ago and use voice dream scanner. I guess I'll give it a try and see what happens. All I'm interested in are my favorite publications. I certainly don't need another scanning program. deidre
