There's nothing here in the app. I saw the article from the VA newsletter. I downloaded the app, there's nothing to view. Three tabs that take your nowhere.

Gary, the app is a platform for creating your own content to share with your family. The first 2 tabs are for creating, and uploading your recordings. The help tab has a link to our info page. After the stories are uploaded you and your family can view them at http://www.utrapp.org. Please email appsupport@utr.org for additional assistance. Thanks

Excellent app to help me stay in touch with my daughter. I just wish there were more of the epub books. Right now there's only about 12. I would love to see a library of about 100 so I can read to her something new every night!
