I've deleted it twice and reinstalled it from the app store twice. Still crashing. Any ideas?

For those who recently experienced a shut down after logging into your Bookshare account using InDaisy Reader, this is due to a recent change for Bookshare to remove need of download password to unzip Daisy books downloaded by Organization Members of Bookshare. We are actively working with Bookshare to resolve this issue.
Luckily there is a work around: Download the book on your computer and import it into InDaisy Reader using iTunes File Sharing.
Sincerely,

Allow users to download DAISY books as zip archives via. Safari
In my experience as Head of It and Production at Nota, The Danish National Library for People with Print Disabilities, our users are having trouble downloading DAISY books to their IPhones/IPads via. iTunes. You could solve this by allowing the users to download DAISY books as zip archives via. Safari for IPad.

allow daisy audio books to be controlled by bluetooth headsets, and doubble two finger tap screen for play pause
When I am reading a daisy text book, pressing the play pause button on my bluetooth headset plays and pauses the audio, and pressing next track and previous track on my headset skips by section. This is exactly what I want! Unfortunately,, when listening to audio only daisy books, this functionality does not work. The only way to pause the book is to find the pause button, and press it. Two finger taps on the screen do not work, and the headset controls do not work. Also, when the screen is locked, it would be nice if the title of… more

Please fix a bug and change bookmarking
The page constantely turns all black when I start the app and I have to leave the book and choose another option (bookshelf etc). Please - fix this! I should be so happy!
I also would like to get some feedback when I click on the "make bookmarks"-ikon.

make it run in the back ground so you can use other apps at the same time
it would be good if you could still hear the book being read while daisy is minimised so that you can use other apps at the same time.

Make the navigation "toolbar" transparent.
It´s difficult to see the book when you navigate. Making it possible to move would perhaps also do the trick... Thanks!

Sleep timer
Are you considering adding the ability to have the playback stop after a certain amount of time?
It is quite common in hardware players, but I'm not seeing it a lot in the software players. But, it would be really useful so the book doesn't keep playing throughout the night *smile*.
Hope I'm making sense.

improve capability to handle very large daisy books in read book view.
In the read book view, it takes a long time to load books with large content file. Especially those with lot's of large images.

add ability to change foreground and background colors
G'day,
Thanks for the great program! I read DAISY books visually using large print and preferably also a specific font, font colour, etc.
I have figured out how to get InDaisy to set up the specific font and font size that I want, but can't seem to customise the foreground and background colours. There's nothing in your FAQ or HOWTO about this, so could you tell me if it's possible and if so how, and if it's not possible could you please add it to the future upgrades list?

add tap to turn page
Last feature request is an option for tapping the screen to advance to the next page - like the tap-to-turn in iBooks and other ebook readers. I, and many others with physical disabilities, find tapping much easier than scrolling and hence it would be a very helpful addition.

allow change of line spacing
Another feature I'd love, although it's less urgently needed for me, is the ability to customize the line spacing independently of customizing the font size. If I set the font size taht's comfortable to me - 85 in InDaisy - then I only see approximately 7 lines on the screen (iPad in landscape mode). If the lines could be closer together I could see more lines of text which would help me a lot. I know for some low vision issues, though, 7 lines would be too much and wider spacing would be needed - hence my request that it… more

Add support for TXT files
It would be great if InDaisy could read them using it’s TTS, allow book marking within a txt file, save your place, etc.

Increase volume of the built-in TTS voice
I still find that the volume of the built-in TTS voice is low in comparison to VoiceOver so that when it is time to go to the home key, etc. and turn off reading, Voiceover is still way louder.
