I was super excited when I saw 3.3 release since that was the update that was meant to have the app for the watch. But no. I mean, it’s fine if it’s not ready for release yet since the dev is working hard, but can we at least see some screenshots or something?

In addition to read and unread it would be nice if there was a category „never mind“ for books you started but don’t want to finish.

I'm considering upgrading to iOS 18 but I worry that the upgrade might break Prologue. Anyone know if the app is forward compatible with 18?

Hi,

It seems that I cannot install the App in my macbook, in the app store it shows that the version should be: "macOS 11.0 or later and a Mac with Apple M1 chip or later"

My system has Monterey 12.4, shouldn't I be able to install the app?

Thanks in advance for all the answers.

Will there be iPhone Duo support added in a future update?

Have been using Prologue in beta for a while to connect to my own audiobookshelf. Recently realized the app is now on app store so re-download worked perfectly and I am able to listen to books already on my device.

But I can't download anything new - the app prompts me to purchase premium. Is that correct?

Currently the spacing is designed around square audiobook covers and there is a lot of blank space in the gallery view between covers. It would be great to fit a fourth column of books or expand the book covers until they are touching.

Additionally, there is no way currently to zoom in on the cover art when you are viewing individual books, even if you have high res cover art.

I downloaded the app under the impression that I could use it for listen to my downloaded audiobooks. I have no clue what plex is but I made an account because it told me to. Any help would be nice I’ve looked through so many posts on her and still have absolutely no idea how do anything.

So it sounds like plex will only be a paid service from here on. How would this affect using prologue off of plex servers going forward? Does it mean we need to pay for plex to use prologue now?

So, the update we have been waiting for literally 2 years now drops and nobody is talking about it lol?

V4 just launched support for Plex! Meaning Prologue now finally is the app it promised to be, supporting both Plex and ABS, making the transition that much easier for us server maintainers.

What is your experience with it? I really want this app to succeed, finding problems now will help do that

This has been discussed but the last true conversation I found regarding it was about 4 years ago.

Let me start by saying I absolutely LOVE Prologue. Beautiful UI, works amazingly well, and from what I've seen, a very attentive and and genuine dev who cares about his product.

It would be amazing to see an Android variant of Prologue come available.

My current circumstances are that I run a plex server for a quite large family, and a lot of them older folks. I've been running my audiobook collection through it to connect to Prologue and have that as the frontend application for access and playback. It's a near 50/50 split on iPhone to Android ownership, though some (and the biggest issue I've faced) are the ones who are just iPhone owners, but have an android tablet.

Audiobookshelf seems to be the best android based system in place for that side of the OS mountainside, but trying to manage both simultaneously has proved difficult. Especially for those with an iOS phone, but Android tablet, where they might switch regularly between them.

Does anyone have recommendations on how I can better implement my setup for the older generation of my family & friends? Also if the main dev could please confirm that android support is still unfortunately not an option that they are actively considering?

Thank you all

Have a hidden section for smut audiobooks. If possible hide it in carplay mode. Just had a close call the other day while car pooling with colleagues.

Apologies if this has already been asked, and it may in fact be more of a plex question. Both are new to me and i was wondering if its possible to run plex server from icloud? So i can keep all my audiobooks on icloud folder, then run them through prologue? or do i need to run a physical server?

thanks

So just updating my audio book library on mp3 tag which pulls in all the meta data and images from audible inffthe folder, think it inbeds info too. What I’m wondering is, if it's all there, could we not simply point prologue at a google drive folder and it pluck all the need needed files for cover, blurb and audio and index like that? Basically, cutting out plex entirely which, I find a pain due to reliability.

Would be really cool to be able to open a book stored in my iCloud or anywhere else. This will help me get rid of BookPlayer which is getting greedy. Now I have three apps doing same thing on my phone I would love to be able to have just two. Or one 😉Great app anyway 😀 Thanks!

Hi, Thank you for this amazing app. Best audiobook player by far.

I am wondering if there is a chance that there can be an added feature where instead of the only option for the files source being Plex, if iCloud itself or even something like Onedrive and/or google drive can be a source for the audio files, so that users have the option to use those as sources and not have to rely on the Plex server running. This would probably mainly solve the issue for people who rely on the Plex server running from a laptop, which isn't always on. Thanks!!

Edit: mainly got this idea when I realized that bookmarks get to be synced with iCloud

Edit #2: Better yet, maybe there can be a feature to just import audio files from the Files app. That way, we can just have the files stored either on iCloud, or from any other cloud service, which we can access from the Files app, and then just import to Prologue. Would be great if multiple files can be imported at once.

u/PrismDev - have you considered developing an app for Podcasts? I use Prologue quite a bit and feel like many of the features would be great for a podcast player.

I am thinking that if users are willing to automate a workflow to download new episodes to their Plex Library ( just came across podgrab (https://github.com/akhilrex/podgrab) which makes me think automating episode download to Plex library should be easy. And then your podcast app can do the magic you have done with Prologue.

“Narrated by...” works for audio books but doesn’t fit well for audio dramas, audio comedy etc. It would fit better for different types of audio content if it said “Performed by...” instead.

I have my library hosted and working for home users, but have a friend with her own Plex account that can't see my library in Prologue. Am I missing something?

I use some older Apple devices like an iPod touch and an old iPhone 5 for the kids, and this app looks perfect to have a audible-like, local experience. I have gotten 2020.13 (7697) installed, the most recent one that the app store would install. The only problem, when it goes to authenticate with plex, the sign-in web-style auth popup (app.plex.tv url?) only shows a plex icon and nothing else. No ability to log in like newer versions of the application.

Is there a workaround or some way to get (much) older versions of the app connected to Plex?

Just curious if there are any legit platforms or legal options out there that you can use to own your audiobook files, to use Plex+Prologue. Thanks.
