What's New in Fable Frog

1.10.1

August 7, 2026

What's New in v1.10.1: A round of fixes for CarPlay, the sleep timer, the player, and your Reading List. New: • CarPlay has a Downloaded tab, putting your offline books one tap away with no connection at all Improved: • Recaps now open with where things stand, followed by a clear timeline of what happened • Recaps draw on the minutes leading up to your recap window, so the setup makes sense • Tapping a Reading List book opens its page instead of starting playback • Books you don't own yet show their release date on the Reading List • The end-of-book prompt names what each button does instead of repeating the title • The app does less work at launch, starting the speech engine only when a recap needs it Fixed: • Shake to keep listening now works when the sleep timer ends, in any orientation, and even after you've closed the player • The "Sleep Timer Ended" prompt clears whenever you resume, instead of lingering over audio that's already playing • Reconnecting Bluetooth headphones resumes where you stopped instead of skipping ahead • The player no longer flickers between play and pause at the end of a book • A session refresh mid-book resumes at your place instead of restarting from the beginning • Opening the chapter list scrolls straight to the chapter you're in • Recaps work on books with violent or intense scenes instead of failing every time • Books you already own are matched to your Reading List even when the title or ASIN is written differently • Finishing a book removes it from your Reading List • CarPlay shows your books when the server can't be reached, instead of coming up empty • Starting a book from CarPlay picks up where you left off instead of at the beginning • Your progress is saved when you start a book from CarPlay, so a whole drive no longer goes unrecorded • Cover art appears in CarPlay, including when you're offline • New-book alerts no longer go missing when you follow more than a few series

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!
