Audible App Updated To v1.5 With Completely New UI

If you want to listen to an audiobook, Audible is the number one source. Though, the app was never great on Android. It wasn't terrible, but it didn't have a strong Android aesthetic and the layout was strange. With the version 1.5 update, that's a thing of the past. The app looks excellent now, and there are other improvements too.

The new UI is still a dark affair, like the old one. The colors are distinctly Audible, which is actually a nice look. It's also got a fair bit of Holo (#YOLO) going on. Here's the full changelog:
  • Beautiful new design
  • Improved navigation
  • Simplified library management
  • Chapter-level progress bar in the player
  • Improved stability and performance

Audible's app is free – the books not so much. It will cost you a few bucks to subscribe and you get a set umber of titles each month. Or you can buy books outright, but they're pricey. Check out some screens of the old UI below to compare.
