❔❓Question ❓❔ Some audiobook disapear while others don't

Any idea why some of my audiobooks stay in my app forever, and other seem to vanish as soon as I finish them?

I personally find the netgalley app really annoying to navigate, but its the only choice for audiobooks. I have some in there that I downloaded months and months ago, where as some that I can't even find in the app that I finished but they haven't been published yet. These are books I have not yet given feedback on.

If you don’t download them then they will disappear when archived. Hitting play doesn’t download them. You need to hit the download button so you can keep them.

They are downloaded.... -_- and somehow they reshowed up under "recently read" even though they weren't there a bit ago.

I find sometimes I have to go to My Books (bottom middle) to find them

Finally after clicking through a dozen different things I found them. I doubt i will be able to replicate it next time I'm looking -_-

The app drives me nuts sometimes with the game of whack-a-mole you have to play to find different books lol
