I actually got that up and running. One cool thing is that the book apparently gets unzipped when it downloads, because you can play it once it's there. The other thing is that after I switched to another app, I could go right back into it and download another book without having to log in again. Is this because I didn't close out the app, or because I haven't turned off the I-Phone yet? Or is it just that once BARD sees this mobile app after the first log-in, you don't have to do it again? I guess I'll find out one way or another. Here's another question, I have a lot of previously saved mp3 files on another portable device that is not a phone. Is it very difficult to transfer some of these files to your I-Phone via your computer?

Actually there is no way you can transfer Thanksgiving to you too your iPhone my status changed from earlier versions of iPhone. If you have downloaded NLS bored app you just need to go to search is it in the West catalog or something like that type in the book he want ever in Braille or audio save to wishlist and after you do that go back into the app I think if I'm not mistaking you hit Search even that or you hit where you downloaded books are in it something about wish list and your books are there automatically and the books in it download and that's all you need.

If you have books on your PC, you can use iTunes to transfer them over to your phone, but I have yet to do it this way. I'd have to look up the instructions or mess around with it myself first to figure it out.

This is how I install most apps on my phone. Roughly, the steps are: 1) Go into the App Store. 2) Double tap the search tab at the bottom of the screen. 3) Find the search field at the top of the screen and type in the name of the app you want to install. In this case, just type BARD. 4) You'll see some suggestions right below the search field. If the BARD Mobile app is one of the suggestions, double tap on it, otherwise, double tap the search button. Double tap on the BARD Mobile app in the search results. 5) Double tap the get button and the app will be downloaded and installed. On 02/22/2015 05:49 PM, Kim Lingo wrote: I have an I-Phone 6. I've been gradually learning to use it--some by accident. I've discovered a couple of books from National Braille Press on this, and have purchased those. I haven't gone completely through those yet, but I'm interested in downloading the app from NLS to enable reading of digital talking books on my phone. I gather that you have to go to the I-Tunes store for this. Is this something you need to do through a computer, or can you download it directly from your I-Phone? I do know how to read--or listen, but I also believe in taking a short-cut when possible. I'd appreciate any help on this. Kim Lingo --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
