Well, if the point of the survey was to determine whether to put out a
NLS app at all then I'd agree with you, although I'm sure their
investment isn't over yet, so pulling the plug on something now rather
than later that won't end up being used would still be a good thing.
Since they're asking about Android and IOS, they may be using this
survey to determine how to prioritize their resources, e.g. maybe
there's more interest in an Android app than an iPhone app, so they want
to throw some resources in that direction and get that app out there first.
They may also be getting some scrutiny from some bottom liners and need
this information to keep funding from being cut. Of course, in this
case, it still would have been good to have this information laying
around from the get go!

I wonder what is the point of such a survey at this time. They have already
invested in developing the app, etc. so what difference does it make now.
Just marveling at the ways of our tax dollars at work…

Hi,
This would require whatever device you use at home have an internet connection.
I don't own a stream or, any other type of blind centric reader except the
actual NLS player so, do these devices often have the ability to connect to the
internet?

I think it's a fair question though. Not everybody who gets NLS Talking Books
has a smart phone and they would like to have some sense of how popular it
would be. Personally, I'd just like to have the option. Now if there were a
way in which you could start reading an NLS book on your iPhone, get home and
pickup where you left off on your reading device. They keep saying more
features will be added to the Victor Reader Stream 2. Be cool if they could
manage that.

Similarly, I just signed on to NLS BARD and encountered the same two
questions.

When I logged onto my library's bard site today, there was a survey question
about whether I would use the app, if it were available, and which version, IOS
or Android, I would use. I post this, in hopes that it is a national survey,
not just from my library. If you tend not to log onto bard often, log onto it
and, if the question is there, hopefully answer it yes.
