In 3.5.3:

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

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
It’s simplicity for the user is wonderful
I have used this app extensively and been so impressed. If only all Plex apps worked as well as this one, then Plex would be known in every household.
It’s efficient, user friendly controls, means creating collections, adding information and covers, and even downloading are so easy and manageable. It’s exactly as you would expect Audible if they did Plex libraries, and it’s all making sure you don’t have to pay attention to how it delivers the content from your Plex drive to your mobile phone. Just enjoy the smooth audiobook play back
Simply brilliant
I use Plex to manage my video and audio libraries. I have loads of audiobooks stored on Plex and this is quite simply the best way to interact with them on your iPhone. Audio quality is great, downloading for offline listening is super easy. It’s an easy to use and intuitive app, with loads of features. It displays cover art well, plays back with great audio fidelity, and I’ve experienced no bugs or errors.
This developer has done an excellent job. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic!!
Never left an app review before but you’ve really made something special. Plex integration for organising, fantastic controls, amazing interface! Literally the only thing I wish you had was Alexa integration but that’s outside this app and doesn’t affect the review. Thanks so much for this! My audiobooks are something that really help me get through a lot and this app will be used every single day!
