Prologue is now available for Apple Watch!
• Stream books you're currently reading, or books in your reading list
• Download books to listen when you're offline

Prologue for Apple Watch is the culmination of months of work by a single developer.
To keep Prologue financially sustainable, I’ve decided to ask for a small extra payment to use the app.
Thank you for the continued support!
Ratings and Reviews
Great app
Has all features one would expect from an audiobook player. Also, no subscription, just a one time payment.
A pleasure to use…
Came from Synology’s DS Audio, which had a huge list of issues, not the least of which was losing my place in the book and restarting. Prologue just works; select my book, download it for offline listening, control playback and volume with my Apple Watch. Remembers my spot and loads quick. Happy to pay for the extra features after testing! Thanks for creating a great app!
Perfection
Only 2 apps on the hundreds I own I would say are perfect and this is one of them. Everything from the slight rewind when starting the book a few days later to a few seconds when Waze decides to chirp. Dev should work for Apple, this is an app done not just right, but perfect.
