Audible Discontinued the Windows App

Paperbackstash · 01-19-2022, 11:21 AM

Bummer for those who used it, even if Audible rarely updated or fixed glitches in it.

Says discontinued on Jan 13, 2022. Tried putting a screenshot but the image was too large.

The "Audible for Windows 10" app still works. It's only the very, very old app that doesn't. And, as you said, it hasn't been supported or fixed in a very long time. Normally I prefer those older apps, but in this case the Win10 app is a definite improvement, IMNSHO.

The AudibleSync app still works (although that doesn't synch and is mainly a way to download to use with another service), but the desktop app for Windows 10 has been removed according to notices they have been sending out. If you still have it, they are rolling out removal of it currently

Here's an article today on it
