What's New in Fable Frog

1.10.0

July 23, 2026

What's New in v1.10.0 - Up Next: Your own Reading List has arrived - line up the books you own and the ones you don't yet, and the frog keeps reading in your language. New: • A Reading List for your account - one to-read queue for the books you own and the ones you don't yet, added by Audible link or ASIN • Choose where new books land in your Reading List, top or bottom, and add a book automatically when its download finishes • Transcription and recaps now follow each book's own language • Premium now works with Family Sharing, so one purchase covers your whole Family group Improved: • The listening stats screen loads and scrolls smoothly, with the heavy work moved off the main thread • Library browsing and filtering stay fast as your library grows • The Home favorites shelf loads in parallel for a quicker first paint Fixed: • Your ebook reading position is kept when audio progress saves, instead of jumping back • The app recovers your session if it launches while the device is still locked • Playback recovers from a system audio reset instead of marking the book as corrupted • Books wrongly flagged as corrupted are cleared and playable again • Clearing a book from Continue reliably removes its progress and it stays gone • No more duplicate listening sessions when you start a downloaded book offline • Skip forward and back stay accurate when you tap quickly • Recaps no longer fail on very long passages • Transcription no longer misfires in the first moments after launch • Signing out clears more cached data

User reviews

Great potential

The app is beautiful and am excited to see it grow. My primary use is through CarPlay so my rating is directed related to its use. Currently when opening on CarPlay it says library is empty until I open the app on my phone, then it’s shows up. Until about two weeks ago and now nothing shows up but still shows in now playing. Hoping that some CarPlay fixes can be done soon.

Finally, an app that shows me what I’m missing!

Having used many, many other apps for my audiobooks I’m excited by this one. Yes there are a few things needing to be tweaked. But honestly - it’s amazing. My favourite thing? Well it’s the fact it can see what book series I have and tell me which books in the series I’m missing. Not only that, but it tells me about new releases.

Love it!
