Magic Bookmark now works with audiobooks: what changed?
Since version 1.1.1 (27 October 2026), Magic Bookmark gives spoiler-free recaps for audiobooks as well as print and ebooks: instead of a page photo or page number, you enter the last phrase you heard. The App Store notes read: "Now with audiobook support: get spoiler-free recaps for any book format." Pricing is unchanged: first book free, then $1.40 to $4.99 per book.
Version 1.1.1 of Magic Bookmark, released on the US App Store on 27 October 2026, adds audiobook support. For ADHD readers who listen more than they read, that closes the biggest gap in the app's format list.
What exactly changed in 1.1.1?
Until this update, the app found your place in a book from a photo of the page or a typed page number, which assumed you were holding print or an ebook. Audiobooks have no page. Version 1.1.1 adds a way in for listeners: you type the last phrase you heard and the app syncs to that point, then shows the same recap, cast list and spoiler-free answers as for print.
That matters because listening is how many ADHD readers get through books at all, on walks, commutes or while doing chores. It is also where the story slips most easily: you cannot flip back a page to check a name.

What does it mean for ADHD listeners?
- You can come back to an audiobook after a gap and get a recap that stops where you stopped listening.
- The cast list helps with the hardest part of audio: names you heard once and cannot look up.
- It works with an audiobook from any source, including a library loan, because it does not play the audio itself.
- Same limits as before: supported titles only, iPhone only, English only, paid per book after the first.
