What's New in Fable Frog

1.12.0

August 24, 2026

What's New in v1.12.0: The sleep timer stopped guessing. Pick the durations you actually use, give a single book its own set, and find the next book you already own waiting at the top of Upcoming. New: • Choose your own sleep timer durations, up to five, anywhere from 1 to 120 minutes, instead of the fixed four • Your durations fill both the player's sleep timer menu and the Auto Sleep Timer picker • A single book can carry its own sleep timer durations, separate from your usual ones • Your durations travel with your backup and sync to your other devices • Upcoming now opens with Ready to Listen: the next book you already own in each series you follow • Service Notices tell you inside the app when something is known to be broken and a fix is on the way Improved: • Ready to Listen appears as soon as it is ready instead of waiting on the new-release check to finish • Screens that still showed English in a translated app are now translated everywhere • Opening Upcoming checks each series you follow once instead of three times, so the page loads faster Fixed: • Headphone Triple-Press and Shake to Extend now stick when set for a single book, instead of quietly resetting • Series your server hides for having one book are grouped under their real name instead of splitting into a row per book • One of those series now opens to the book it holds instead of reporting No Books • Upcoming no longer says it couldn't match your library books for a series your server hides • Series names no longer repeat their number, like Azarinth Healer #1 #1 • Upcoming finds your series again when your Audible library is on a store other than audible.com, such as Audible Germany or Audible UK • When Audible lists no series for a book, Upcoming says so and points you to linking the series by hand, instead of suggesting you try again later

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.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback here, this along with several other CarPlay issues, have been resolved now. Hope you give it another chance! Happy to hear any feedback in the future, just submit it through the app!

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!
