Well, I think this app is very good, especially for a 1.0 release.

I haven't had any problems with my wish list getting populated, and my download speeds have been much better than experienced in the message below. Downloads speeds are also effected by quite a few things outside of an app's control.

Remember too that the US government is shut down, through no fault of this app, so the servers are up and running but aren't being monitored. I wouldn't be surprised if they need some TLC occasionally to fix some performance issues, again not unlike any servers, private or public.

I also don't think political opinions or anyone's opinions about the government are appropriate for this list. IMHO, criticism of the app should be based on the app itself and not one's opinion of the government.

behavior the government it does nothing or very little at best. And it's very 
slow.

I just opened the BARD app and went to my wish list.
At first, it said empty list.
I let it sit there.
A little while later, probably 30 seconds or so, it said zero items.
I still let it sit there.
Within another 30 to 60 seconds, I have the three books I knew were on my
wish list showing up.
I decided to try downloading one.
It first just flicked back to the wish list after I hit OK on down load.
Then, a while later, it said downloading.

It has sat on zero percent for about a minute now.

It is five minutes later and it is up to 25 percent.
If it doesn't down load, I'll write again, but I am going to go on the
assumption that it is simply going to take a lot of patience to work with
the wish list until the government is back up and running.

I hope I haven't lost it completely, that it will come back when things get
back to normal.

It may be up, but there may not be staff there to do updates, maintenance,
etc. Several Federal web sites will come up when you try to access them, but
the links may not work, etc. This will become more noticable the longer the
shutdown persists.

Sounds to me to be that the web site is not really up.  Isn't the site
shut
down because of the government fiasco?

I did this this morning and it took some time for the newly added books
to
show in my wish list. It took maybe 2 minutes? Try opening the app and
going
to the wish list and waiting for a bit.

Hi all.
So, I added some books to my wishlist like I always do from the
website on my computer.  Before when I'd do this I'd go to the ap on
my phone, into my wishlist and download them.  But, now, when I go
into the ap, they're not there.  I know they've been added, but
they're not there.  I've closed the ap using the ap switcher...
reopened it... but still nothing.  Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
