Great app, but needs better book organization
Hello all, I love how far this app has come. I remember it when it looked like a website but now it looks really cool and neatly laid out. I do have one problem with it, though; I wish you could organize your library into folders, and then I wish you could put the books one downloads into said folders. I also wish the books would stay in the order that they were downloaded in. For example, book one of the Harry Potter series, and then book 2 of the Harry Potter series; However, that does not happen. Once I download a book, it throws it in some random order so for example, the first Harry Potter book would be there, and then the first Lord of the rings book, and finally the second Harry Potter book. It is rather annoying to have to swipe through an unorganized library. That is why I request folders and for the ability for the books to stay in the order of the book series.

Need more book info
An older version of Bard used to show the genre and narrator on new books added and on searches. Now we see the title and author. I want to be able to see and search by genre and narrator. It’s very frustrating to wade through hundreds or thousands of titles hoping to find something suitable. Remember, we can’t see well. Please consider adding back genre and narrator. Publication year would be nice too. Surely this info is already part of the metadata, and it would make the app much more useful and user friendly.

More updates for the app and the DA two player
I have a question about this is there any possible way that when you update the app you can fix a search problem for like when you search for a book you want and as you’re going through the list of books after you click search as your swipe in your finger through all of the books if you get it, incoming phone call and then when you hang up, is it possible to fix it to where it can stay where you left off instead of having to research all over again because when you get an incoming phone call, it seems like it just goes back to the main search page and you lost all your listing of books that you can swipe through after searching now about the DA two player, I love it a lot. I really do. I love the fact that you can download books from the site. or still use cartridges but I was wondering if it’s possible if another software for the machine will be released maybe another new update keep up the good work, I enjoy it a lot if it’s possible, even if it’s not, that’s no big deal. I still love it but if it’s possible within the next software release update if there would be like a feature that were, we can actually create an ad to favorites list. I know you have the bookshelf button on the player and that’s good too but what I’m getting at is like when you get so many books inside the player if there’s a way that you can actually favor a book like maybe hold one of the buttons down to enter favorites list or something like that I know it’s gonna take time but I’m just making a suggestion for a new feature and I don’t know how to contact and make a suggestions directly on the web so I’m actually putting this in my review here on the App Store and since we already have a bookshelf button on the DA two player, I was suggesting maybe the place stop button having a new feature like how you hold it in to enter the book bookshelf that way, cause there’s two different ways to enter the bookshelf, but if it would be possible and then after you get it all figured out maybe put that little section inside your user‘s God because we have a regular bookshelf button so it would be neat to actually take and hold down on the plane and stop button and it’ll enter like some kind of maybe favorites list you can go through your favorite books without scrolling through them all I meant to say play stop button sorry for the misspelling or whatever I’m using dictation so NLS thank you I really appreciate you guys, but if it is kind of possible, that would be a real neat feature because like I was saying, we do have the bookshelf button on the player so if you can change the play stop button into like some kind of favorites. We would all have to figure that out and I don’t know how you guys would put that effort into it, but that would be a great neat little feature. Thank you guys. I mean, I get it you give us two different ways to enter the bookshelf. One is to hit the bookshelf button directly. The other is to hold down on place stop but I would suggest you maybe take place stop and hold it down to go through your favorites list had the voice prompt say entering flavors list and then you use your right left arrow to scroll through your favorite books and click click play on the book that you want or when you hit the bookshelf button as your list of books come up and it tells you the name of that book have it come on after it’s done telling you the name of the book and how long it is and everything have it come on and say add to favorites list hit info to confirm or any other key to cancel thumbs up NLS thank you guys if there’s anyway you can maybe reply to my review and say well yeah that would be possible or no. We don’t think it’d be possible but either way I still love it. I love the app. I love the book player machine, but I was just making a suggestion. Hopefully, you can read this review because that would definitely definitely be a five star feature that would be great. i’m gonna go ahead and end my review hopefully to hear from you guys soon. Thank you guys again. thank you, Library of Congress for bringing talking books and services for The Blind and visually impaired.

Broken Bard
Since the last update, Bard is impossible to navigate with SiRI and with VoiceOver. In the main catalog of the Music Library: 1. I cannot search or select for titles and download them. 2. I’m unable to retrieve previous downloads because of lag time with voiceover. And the titles are no longer in alphabetical order or chronological order by date. 3. I’m unable to work with the Bookshelf List for the same reasons.
