What’s new
Version 1.14.3 · Updated September 25, 2026
What's New in v1.14.3: A small fix for series pages. Fixed: • Series pages and Upcoming no longer list the same book twice when Audible keeps a placeholder beside the real release • A book Audible has only announced shows as Announced, with no store link and no release alert • A Reading List entry saved under one of those placeholders moves to the real book
