Audible Download Apple Watch NEW!
Viktoria Klett
Hi. I passed some of my Audible books over to my Apple Watch Series 3 and enjoyed listening to them from there, via my Airpods. I am trying to remove read books from my watch now and cannot find a way to do it. Can anyone advise what I should do? Do I remove the book via the phone or watch? Does the watch need to be on a charger etc for such an action to be undertaken? Any advice gratefully received.
Although I love the option of having Audible books on my watch, I have seen a few hiccups. First, it takes patience to get the transfer to work. Turning on Do Not Disturb before trying seems to help, but that may be coincidence. Second, many buttons on the Apple Watch app are unlabeled. I think I have figured them all out, but it would be helpful if they were easily read with VoiceOver. Third, when transferring books to my Apple Watch, I cannot find an indicator of how well the transfer is going. I have read on the Web that there is a visual indicator, but I cannot find it. I have reported some of my observations to Audible and am hopeful that we will see a tighter, more accessible app, soon.
The Apple Books app is preinstalled on all Apple devices, including Apple Watch. With Apple Books, you can play audiobooks from Audible on your Apple device. But you need to manually sync Audible audiobooks to your device first. If you would like to listen to Audible audiobooks on your watch with the Apple Books app, follow the below steps.
You need to sync Audible audiobooks to your iPhone from your computer first if you want to play Audible audiobooks on the watch. Just use iTunes or Apple Music to sync all Audible audiobooks to your Apple Watch. After that, you can pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone via Bluetooth and then try to transfer the converted Audible book files to the watch. Now you can enjoy Audible audiobooks on the watch without limitations.
Do you know why I purchase Apple watch? The main reason I purchased the Apple Watch is to track my workouts and listen to audiobooks on long walks without carrying my iPhone. If this is also what you want, you come to the right place. Here you will discover two effective ways to listen to Audible on Apple watch without iPhone.
Since Apple Watch OS5, you can listen to your Audible audiobooks and podcasts without an iPhone with the help of Audible app for iPhone. Want to know how? Read the following detailed guide on syncing Audible to Apple watch and listening to audible on Apple watch via Audible app.

A: Before everything, please ensure your devices meet the requirements listed at the very beginning.
Official Solution from Audible customer service:
1. Ensure both the paired iPhone and Apple watch are in proximity and both connected with chargers;
2. Ensure iPhone and Watch are connected to the same wireless network;
3. Restart the Apple watch and Audible App etc..
If you have tried everything above mentioned, but still failed. Please try the following workaround which helps many Apple watch users sync their Audible books to Apple watch successfully.
Workaround : Please ignore the "no responding" error message and leave the apple watch in charger overnight during syncing. It seems the Apple watch run its course in the background. Finally, the audible books will be transferred to Apple watch.
Workaround: Try to disable Bluetooth on the iPhone before syncing but ensure your Apple watch and iPhone are on the same wifi. It will take sometime without any reaction, but the book will be synchronized to your Apple watch in the end anyway.
A: Here is the official answer form Audible:
1. Make sure the phone player window isn't in focus;
2. Hit play on the watch for a few seconds while near the phone;
3. Wait a few seconds for it to sync back to the phone.
Workaround: Don't open the iPhone app and Apple watch app at the same time, and this problem will not exist. Please close your audible APP on your Apple watch, then access your audible app on your iPhone. Your iPhone will know where you left off on the watch and pick up from there, so there is no worry about syncing to where you were on the watch.
A: It seems this is the biggest flaw of Audible APP. I only hope the Audible app updates can fix this issue. So please always keep your app updated to the latest version.
