Have you recently listened to a book on Audible but noticed that it's not listed as "Finished" for some reason? Or have you listened to a book you didn't like but want to mark as finished just so you won't pick it up again? Luckily, Audible does give you ways to mark an audiobook as finished if it didn't already do so on your iOS (iPhone and iPad) app.

Method 1
Method 1 of 2:

Via the Device tab

  1. 1
    Open up the Audible app on your device. Audible's app icon looks like a book with sun-rays shining on top of an orange background.
  2. 2
    Make sure the book has been downloaded to your device. Only books that have been downloaded to the device can be marked as finished. Go into the My Library tab (at the bottom of the screen) and select the "Device" tab (at the top) if you haven't already been transported there by default.
    • Going to the "Device" tab will help filter your Audible book listings to those downloaded to your device. However, it is possible to find these same books that you have downloaded from the Cloud tab.

      Tips

      • Audible includes a two-sentence conclusory statement at the end of the playing time of the book, so if you completed the book and didn't hear that short blurb, the book won't be automatically marked as finished.
