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> ------- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now!!!!! Move out. Get a job.
