I only use Learning Ally when I can't find something somewhere else. There app
is terrible. It doesn’t use the magic tap to start and stop playback, you can't
increase the speed without going into several screen levels deep, and the thing
that's the search says magnifying glass. It's definitely usable and accessible,
but not efficient or nice.

Definitely all good things. I sure wish Learning Ally hadn't redone it's web
site when they were no longer Recordings for the Blind, and made getting boks
so arduous. I rarely use them anymore. Are they up to date on thelatest texts
books, etc? Is anyone here still enjoying their many offereings?

I particularly like the idea of being able to download directly from the search
results. Sometimes, I want to download a book immediately, not put it on the
wish list and then download it.
The improved search results will also be welcome.

BARD is a true life line. Much of this we can do already but
some of the added flexibility is nice.

The email below is from BARD Support.
Announcing BARD Mobile for iOS 2.0
We're excited to tell you that NLS has released version 2.0 of BARD Mobile for
iOS. In this version, the BARD Website option is replaced by a new and powerful
search engine that has the following abilities:
" Search by keyword, title, author, or annotation.
" Search for either braille or audio content.
" Use the Keyword search to search for narrators.
" Search for items in the Music collection, including music
appreciation and instructional materials as well as music scores.
" Access all the options available from books in your wish list,
Recently Added Books, etc., such as downloading directly from the search
results page and viewing all the books by the same author or in the same series.
" Enter an author's or narrator's name in any format and without
quotation marks and get reliable results.
" Enter words from a title without quotation marks and get reliable
results.
" Enter multiple types of information in a Keyword search, such as
part of a title and an author's last name or a title and narrator's name, and
get reliable results.
" Change the type of search after you conduct the original search.
" Sort search results by title, author, or latest (the publication
date).
To conduct a search, choose the Search option at the top of the Get Books
screen, just above Wish List. Keyword is the default search type, and Audio is
the default format. Change these settings if you like, type or dictate search
terms in the search field, and choose Go or Search. To change the format or
type of search from the Search Results page, select the search field at the
top; all the options on the original search page are now available. To sort the
search results, choose Title, Author, or Latest. To access options such as
Download and viewing other books by the same author with VoiceOver, touch the
title of interest, flick up or down to the desired choice, and double-tap. If
you don't use VoiceOver, select the More info button to the right of the title,
and then choose either Download, Add to Wish List, or More Actions.
Additionally, Version 2.0 fixes problems with:
" Rewind controls skipping further than intended.
" Side loading books.
" Downloading and reading non-ASCII foreign language book titles.
The update should be available by Friday, September 23rd. We hope you enjoy it.
