I have not heard of Prologue and it support for Audiobookshelf (ABS).
Why would one choice Prologue over the ABS app?
The ABS app is also still in beta on iOS, so unless you are tech savvy enough to either sideload or try to get in on one of the windows when users are booted from the testflight beta, you are going to have to use one of the 3d party apps.
Prologue just seems to do many things nicely, and user experience seems very important to the developer, so there is a huge crowd that swears by the app.
There’s also Plappa for iOS on the App Store. Great alternative to the abs beta app.
Very happy with Plappa. Highly recommend. One off purchase, no subscription.
I’ve been using Plappa while waiting for Prologue. Pretty solid app so far.
Yeah, or Shelfplayer
I’m holding off on trying Plappa until they add session support, since I like the stats, heh.
Tho I do have a Testflight spot for the ABS app, as well.
I do want to try Plappa, though! I really like the paperless-ngx app (Paperparrot) from the same developer
What’s with all the 3rd party clients for ABS on iOS? Pretty cool, and unfortunately that there isn’t much going on on android.
ABS TestFlight is constantly full is one reason lol.
Prologue is an iOS app that can play audiobooks from a Plex library. I didn’t know they were working on ABS compatibility but that would be great. As much as I love ABS, Prologue is far more polished.
It’s been the Prologue developer’s next biggest priority on their roadmap. Apparently it’s coupled with the v4 Swift rewrite. I just saw it in the subreddit posted about 3 weeks ago.
Additional reason along with what others have said: my mom has been massively consuming books on Prologue. It’s easier to keep her on a single app than to switch her to ABS or Plappa.
