I found it by typing in the search box in all caps, NLS and capitalizing the B 
in Bard so it looks like this.
NLS Bard.

Then Bard Mobile came up with a few others.  A friend told me she got some sort 
of medical app.

HTH

PS:  The Bard Mobile app is fantastic.  you can download audio books or Braille 
books.  Voice Over can read the Braille files.  I don't one a Braille display 
but would assume that sense the rest of the app works fine that the Braille 
support would as well.  Bard points out that you need to open the native clock 
app has a timer.  You can set it for hours or up to 59 minutes.  Where it says 
when the clock reaches 0, do: and there is a long list of sounds and music you 
can choose but the last item in the list is "stop"  So, if you set it to read 
for 1 hour and 1 minute, at the end of that time, the clock app will stop the 
NLS Mobile from playing.

The audio quality can be varied to play back faster or slower and the tone 
control is a true tone control meaning it can vary bass and treble.  Jumping is 
the same as it is on the NLS player.  In fact, they made it to work as close to 
the standard NNLS player as they could.

So using the app, you can access the NLS Bard site with your user name and 
password like you would entering the site from your computer.  Search for books 
or browse the usual links you find on the bard site.  I browsed the latest 
additions to the collection page and selected headings from the rotor on my 
iPhone 4 and just jumped through the titles by flicking 1 finger down.  When I 
came to a title that caught my eye so to speak, all that was required was a 2 
finger swipe down to read the annotation.  Double tapping on the title of the 
book opens up the download options.  I found the app easy to use and fun.  Even 
with not feeling good the app was easy to use.  I like the time display near 
the top of the screen showing how many hours and minutes of the total amount of 
reading time your at.  For example, you might hear 2 hours 42 minutes of 6 
hours, 49 seconds.  You can also use the jump feature by double tapping on the 
buttons and selecting by chapter, etc.  I like the default is set to by 
chapter.  Sometimes I'll fall asleep reading and didn't set the timer but it's 
easy enough to jump backward by chapter until I get to a part I last remember 
reading.

I just thought this is really cool.  When Bard went digital online, I remember 
thinking to myself, wow, it's like having the keys to the library and I can get 
a book to read even at 2 o'clock in the morning in my underwear!  Try that 
sighted people!  Let me know how that works out for you!

Now with the BARD Mobile app, I don't even need to go through my laptop to get 
a book or a magazine.  

I kept an eye on my battery power level as I read to see if listening to an 
audio book would use more battery power but it did not effect battery usage in 
any way I noticed.  It was just like using any other app.  And if your like I 
am, I have a setup next to my bed so I can recharge my iPhone when I go to bed 
so it's fully recharged in the morning but now I can read for a wile too.  Just 
one more great reason why I love my iPhone!

PSS!  Sorry for rambling on and turning this into a review.  Seems a shame to 
delete it all so if the mod wants to kick my butt for what ever reason, here I 
am all bent over sir!  Fire away.  Hey you missed!  I'm more to your right! Not 
that far!  You'll kick the refrigerator and that's gunna hurt! <grin>

  Subject: downloading the bard ap


  Has anyone else had difficulty locating the bard ap in the ap store?  Every 
time I type in bard nls it says search cannot be found.  I have also tried 
typing bard mobile and national library service, but with the same results.
