What’s New
Version 3.5.7
- [Watch] Tweaks to progress sync to (hopefully) make it more reliable

In 3.5.6:
- Fixed issue causing books to fail to sync to watch app
- Added Polish translation
In 3.5.5:
- Temporarily disable HTML formatting for book/author/collection descriptions. This should fix an issue causing the app to freeze when displaying some books. Proper fix coming soon.

- Support for basic html formatting in book/author/collection descriptions (e.g. bold, italics, etc)
- [Watch] Support for finer-grained playback speed. Tap the label (e.g. “1x”) to show presets
- [Watch] Fixed an issue where chapter skip controls could show “x of 0” chapters
- [Watch] Fixed an issue causing book title to be displayed twice on placeholder covers (i.e. when cover images haven’t yet loaded)
- [Watch] Potential fix for additional “Other” storage usage after downloading a book
In 3.5.3:
- [Watch] Complications should update more reliably when playback progress changes on the iPhone app
- [Watch] Fixed a crash when downloading large files (2.1gb+)
- Don’t show watch app purchase button on Settings tab when a paired Apple Watch is unsupported
In 3.5.2:
- [Watch] Added chapter skip controls (under the “...” menu on the now playing view)
- [Watch] Fixed an issue causing the initial watch app data load to fail
- [Watch] Fixed a couple of crashes
In 3.5.1:
- Fixed a crash when starting playback from CarPlay when “Show automatically” player setting is enabled
- [Watch] Fixed a widget/complication load issue
In 3.5.0
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
• Widget and complications
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!
Great app!!!!!
This is a great app. It’s very easy to use, everything is where you’d expect it and it has all the features you could be looking for. Works great streaming or with downloads. Works great in CarPlay too. Definitely worth buying the premium version for. It makes listening to your audiobooks so much easier.
