I've been following this for a while, certainly more than a year, and
the first I heard this app was being actively worked on and the first
time I heard about a potential release date was at the beginning of this
year when NLS said they were hoping/targeting to have something this
summer. I definitely haven't been hearing that something was going to be
coming out in a little while for over a year. Even though I've been
paying attention to this, it's likely that I don't have the same sources
others do.
I'm not surprised the NLS may not reach their target of having something
ready by the beginning of July. Both as a programmer and as a consumer,
I know the pitfalls that can hit a development team, and I've seen
applications be postponed. With the additional challenges the NLS has
with legal issues and funding, I can imagine they have even more
potentials for delays than other products.
I'm looking forward for this NLS iPhone/Android app, but since my NLS
reading needs are being met with other devices, and I don't expect I'll
have to pay for this app, I'm willing to wait a bit longer and let the
development team get it right the first time.

Remember that it has been coming out, in just a little while, for more

seemed to work pretty well. I can't imagine what the problem is.
Learning Ally has had an app to play their books for months. Being that
I can get a key to play Learning Ally books on my NLS player, I wonder
why NLS couldn't have leased the right to play their books with the
Learning Ally app until they could develop their own. We couldn't have
done anything with NLS Braille books, but to be sure the NLS audio books
aren't that much different from those from Learning Ally, it would been
a great fund raiser for Learning Ally, and we would at least had
something. They could have worked out some kind of way for NLS patrons
to authorize it. But then, what do I know?

The tech guy at the regional library where I work emailed someone
that it probably wouldn't be out until some time in 2014. I don't
know how official that is.

Hi Everyone,
In the ATIA podcast about the NLS app that I heard in February,
they said that the app should be released this summer, around
convention time. Does anyone know if this is still the case?
Thanks,
Scott Duck
