The one feature I am hoping is included is faster playback than the current 3x speed. 3x is nice, but I still find myself going back to my nls player for audiobooks just because of the increased rate of available playback speed.
I wrote the Downcast dev once about this and he said that he'd be willing to look at offering faster playback options, but that he was limited by Apple as they only allowed the playback to max out at that rate. So who knows if even the NLS folks would be able to enhance it on their end. I guess we'll just have to see. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ricardo Walker Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 6:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: BARD app coming Hi, I doubt anyone can answer that question since the app won't be available until the summer.
