We released an upgrade to the Rush Limbaugh app<\/a> a couple of days ago because there\u2019s new code, iOS 13. Every time Apple issues a new operating system every September, there are, of course, advancements, new ways of doing things. They\u2019re constantly trying to come up with operating systems that use less power, that use power more efficiently so as to promote longer battery life. They do this in combination with the new central processor chips that they put in the phones — the design — every year, and the operating system does the same thing.<\/p>\n And when they do this, some apps, like ours, have to change the way we interact. So, we had to upgrade the Rush Limbaugh app in order for the audio player in our app to function with iOS 13. So, that app upgrade, we released to the App Store two days ago. It\u2019s up and running. If you have the app already on your phone, it should update automatically, or it should show up. The way you go is just open the App Store (not the iTunes store, the App Store) on your phone, and go to the Updates tab at the bottom and tap on it.<\/p>\n If you run the Rush Limbaugh app, it\u2019ll show as needing to be updated or that it might have already automatically updated. If it hasn\u2019t, just tap on the Update button and you\u2019re good to go. You\u2019ve got until tomorrow at noon or 1 o\u2019clock Eastern. That\u2019s generally when Apple issues new operating systems or updates, at 1 o\u2019clock Eastern time. Now, you don\u2019t have to automatically update to iOS 13. You can wait until 13.1.<\/p>\n But the point is, if you upgrade to iOS 13 tomorrow or Friday, please make sure that you\u2019ve upgraded the Rush Limbaugh app before you do that. Now, here\u2019s something else. I don\u2019t know if you do this, but in iOS 12, which is the current Apple operating system for iPhone and iPad, they introduced an automatic system upgrade option. The way it works, if you enable that, then they will release the update — and it may happen that night or within a week.<\/p>\n But when your phone is plugged in and charging overnight, after midnight, it will automatically install the new operating system. You don\u2019t have to do anything if you have the automatic update option enabled. Some people don\u2019t know if they have it enabled or not. The way you find that is you get your phone and you go to Settings\/General\/Software Update. You do that tomorrow at about this time, and you will see iOS 13 as available to upgrade.<\/p>\n If you have automatic upgrade enabled, you don\u2019t do anything — and just one night while you maybe even forget it, iOS 13 will be installed while your phone is charging. You have to be connected to Wi-Fi, the phone has to be plugged in charging, and it has to be after midnight. That\u2019s how it\u2019s programmed to do it if you set up auto. The point is if you\u2019ve set up auto, it\u2019s gonna do it anyway, and you had better upgrade the Rush Limbaugh app.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t, what will happen is you won\u2019t be able to play the audio. The audio player in the current version — well, in the old version before it was updated — simply wasn\u2019t compatible with the changes Apple has made in iOS 13. I will remind you of this a couple of more times today and tomorrow morning. Now, again, let me run through the procedures here. If you have the Rush Limbaugh app… You know, here\u2019s the thing: If you don\u2019t have the Rush Limbaugh app, you really should think about getting it. Go to the App Store on your iPhone<\/a>.<\/p>\n It is the blue icon with the little A in there — well, a big A. You tap on it, go to the search field, and put my name in — Rush Limbaugh — and you\u2019ll get two options. You\u2019ll get The Limbaugh Letter or the Rush Limbaugh app. The Rush Limbaugh app\u2019s icon is black with a really stylish photo of me on it (I was in charge of this; I made sure that the app icon met my own personal standards) and then you simply download it. It\u2019s free.<\/p>\n Once you have the app on your phone, you can access our website via that app. You\u2019re not gonna actually be assessing the website. It\u2019s actually through the app. It\u2019s the same content but it is its own app infrastructure. And everything you can do on the website, you can do on the app. Including watch the Dittocam, including stream live or archived audio of the program. As I say, the download\u2019s free — and if you don\u2019t want to become a member, you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n There\u2019s plenty of content available on the free side of RushLimbaugh.com. You still get the contents of every day\u2019s program, but in transcript form. You\u2019ll be able to read everything that we reproduce on the website. You just won\u2019t be able to listen to the streaming audio or have access to the Dittocam. You will have access to video archives, some of the video clips we have from my old TV show, a lot of the parody audio and video that you\u2019ll have access to on the free side.<\/p>\n On the free side, you have access to all of the encyclopedic content that has accrued on this program over the many decades. If you become a member, which is totally optional (it\u2019s an in-app purchase), that\u2019s when you can watch the program on the Dittocam every day on the app. That\u2019s when you can stream the program live and access the podcasts of each program about 30 minutes after the program ends each and every day.<\/p>\n And there are, of course, other benefits to becoming a subscriber to RushLimbaugh.com<\/a>. There\u2019s an option to get the monthly newsletter — the digital version or the actual printed magazine. But it\u2019s encyclopedic content, folks. If you listen to this program and you hear things and say, “Oh, man, I gotta remember that! I gotta remember what I just heard. I gotta be able to tell people.” You don\u2019t have to remember anything if you have the app, because all the transcripts are there. Just search it.<\/p>\n You can copy and paste from the transcripts, and you can share and email and text whatever you want from the transcripts to any of your friends or your enemies — the point is, to anybody — and you can do all that on the free side. It is when you become a paid member that you get the Dittocam and the archived audio stream and archived Dittocams as well. Folks, it is so much content. It\u2019s incredible how much content\u2019s available.<\/p>\n So, if you don\u2019t have the app, that\u2019s how you get it.\u00a0Go to the search field in the App Store, the Search tab there, and put my name in.\u00a0It will pop right up. It\u2019s free.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/APP-Rush-App-091819.jpg\")
