I did the temporary fix when it was announced and since then I have been unhiding stories in batches to get the back. I noticed that the newest 4DA wasn’t showing up in my app amongst the refreshes, but hiding it and unhiding it plus an app refresh got it to show up. Oh thanks. I need to try this, too.

Just hiding / unhiding my latest purchases / releases made them available to download in the OLD app. I could now download the latest Sixie adventures plus the recently bought 4th Doctor Angels and Demons.
We have progress!

Can doubly confirm that simply hiding and then unhiding the purchases that weren’t showing up in the old app got them to turn up. So apparently you don’t have to spend ages hiding enough to get below a few hundred, just the ones which weren’t showing up.
What a bizarre quirk.

Nothing is showing on my old app, so it would take quite a while to get the number of releases below a few hundred. Not even trying.

My old library had shown since the roll-back, just nothing new.

I gave up on the apps and found something called pulsar and have been using that, and actually, now I'm getting used to it, it's been OK.
Weirdly, the whole saga has put me off listening to anything, I hope that changes, I keep finding an excuse for an unrelated podcast instead.
I'm hoping it's temporary until next year using it. I would like to get back to a fully functioning app experience, but I appreciate that's a while off yet.

Yeah, I don't even try getting the app to work anymore. I've given up on it. And it's gotta have something to do with the fact that the website takes way too long to load as well. Thanks jbatty8, I'm going to give pulsar a try.

If anyone has an Android device I'd recommend Sirin Audiobook Player

While I still consider it a sticking plaster solution to a self inflicted wound, over the last ten days and very much in phases I have hidden just south of one thousand library entries from the App. Frankly Hell would have to freeze over before I ever attempted to do that in a single sitting!
It’s been a good opportunity though to take stock of what I have and what might need downloading as backup, what ranges I’m going to stop buying from here onwards, what I’ve listened to over the last ten years and what I’ve managed to overlook altogether (Shane Rimmer’s autobiography sticks out like a sore thumb in this category. Next month marks five years since I purchased it and I still haven’t listened to it…😳).
Anyway…the App. It’s useable. Just about. I can live for now with limited access to my library on my phone (although ‘limited’ includes my entire backlog, all bar two of the Monthly Adventures and all of Jago and Litefoot), but if I want to add or hide anything in the App it fails to refresh (the dreaded timeout message appears) unless I sign out and then sign back in again.
So I’ll wait to see what happens…whether a more permanent fix becomes available in the weeks ahead. It doesn’t mean I won’t be doing my homework and looking at alternatives. Just in case.

Other purchases working fine. mef Are you still using the "white on black" version cause that'll stop working altogether soon and people should be back on the "blue and white" version. (Again why there's still not been a firm "Kill Date" set for the "white on black" version I don't know) Regards mark687

That's bad news for me, cause that's the version the works for me. The old app still shows "no purchases".

From the Temp APP Solution News Piece from 3Oth August Please note that from this point, the ‘white on black’ App has been ‘mothballed’ – it won’t work properly. Also note that the blue-on-white App, as has been the case for quite a while, requires iOS 12 or above to work properly on Apple, or Android 8 or above on Android. Regards mark687

I'm an android user, there are so many but I have used Poweramp for years although that isn't focused specifically for audiobooks I mainly used that for music. Smart Audiobook Player is better for that & a really good one I use more now, its been around for years there's a free version & paid one with extra features you may or may not need.
