New Version of BARD Mobile iOS

By Alicia Waters | January 20, 2021

NLS is releasing a new version of BARD Mobile iOS that will support iOS 11 through iOS 14. Version 1.4 also includes two configurable audio settings: automatic start playback and automatic five-second rewind.

Automatic start playback allows users to launch playback of titles without having to manually select the play button. Downloaded titles will immediately play when selected from the Bookshelf, Get Books, or Recently Read.

Automatic five-second rewind will rewind content from where the user last left off when restarting titles from the Bookshelf or Recently Read lists. Content paused and restarted from the Now Reading screen, however, will resume where the user left off and will not automatically rewind.

BARD Mobile iOS users can identify the version running on their devices by checking Settings (the version number is in the bottom left corner). Users who have enabled App Updates for the App Store in their phone Settings will get Version 1.4 seamlessly, while others will need to manually update BARD Mobile iOS through the App Store.

For more information on these features, bug fixes, and more, consult the BARD Mobile iOS Release Notes in the Version History on the App Store,  or the iOS manual
