Audible is one of the easiest media apps to use, which is probably why so many users never dig much deeper into it. For most people, it really is as simple as purchasing a book and pressing play. Yet after years of using the app, I\u2019ve learned to tailor the experience quite a bit.<\/p>\n

I rely on Audible for everything from long walks to laundry, and it\u2019s my go-to fix for the occasional bout of insomnia. Over time, I\u2019ve settled into a handful of settings and features I now adjust before starting almost any audiobook. None of them dramatically change the app, but they do make listening smoother and occasionally enforce more self-control than I\u2019m capable of on my own.<\/p>\n

If you regularly listen to audiobooks at night, Audible\u2019s Timer function is one of the app\u2019s most useful features, and it lives directly on the playback screen. I usually estimate how long I think I\u2019ll realistically stay awake, then overshoot it by about 15 minutes. That buffer gives me enough time to actually fall asleep, but prevents me from waking up six chapters ahead. I usually still need to rewind a bit at the start of the next listen, but it\u2019s much faster to find my place. In the settings menu, you can also enable the Shake to Extend, which lets you add more time by shaking your phone instead of fumbling around the playback screen. If you shake too aggressively and accidentally launch your phone onto the hardwood floor, however, it may wake and startle your partner. I\u2019ve heard.<\/p>\n

While Audible\u2019s standard timer is great for bedtime listening, I specifically use the End of Chapter option during the day. Instead of stopping after a set amount…<\/p>\n
