In Which We Discuss Audible Badges

So, my Audible app just updated itself and now it has a whole bunch of new badges on it.  Or, rather, they are almost the exact same badges that were on there before but now they work slightly better.

The new badges are as follows, in alphabetical order.   The entries with question marks are those that I don't actually have yet.

Edit: my app just (18th September 2020) updated to announce I'd achieved the silver level of The Librarian.  I passed 200 books long ago, so I suspect there's been some kind of update.

The Annotator, no matter how many bookmarks with notes I make, never unlocks :/

I have over 75 audiobooks but no librarian badge. Not sure if this is a fault or if you need more to get bronze? 😕

I emailed Audible and their response was basically "lol, we don't know and we're not doing anything about it. Maybe wait for an update?". That was over a year ago. I've got something like 150 books and no librarian badge.

187 books and no librarian. I believe its 200 plus to start.

What is the biggest amount you've had installed on your device at the same time?

Apparently as of 2019 Audible has disabled the Optimist badge, so it can no longer be earned

Unknown said...

Is the deja vu one still enabled? I should have earned it already. Unless you need to repeat the same book immediately, whithout listening something else at all. How does this work exactly? Thanks in advance

I have shared more than 5 times and I still haven't got the Social Butterfly badge. Has anyone else had this problem?

You need to have bought 100 books with a credit or money.

The done and dusted ones clue says one whole book one single stint. I’ve read countless books but what’s the stint?

And yet Audible says 50-and only ones paid for? 50, lol! Paid for 🤣! That's average of £8X50 😮

Bronze is apparently 50-paid for books.

I can't seem to achieve the done and dusted silver and gold badge. I've let 5 audiobooks play from beginning to end and the silver badge hasn't showed up. Can someone help me out?
