Describe the issue

Very often when I first open an audiobook on my iPhone, I can see the bookmark button. However after that it disappears and even when I switch to a different book, it does not show up.

I rely on bookmark button to make notes to audiobook, without it working, it's really hard for me to get some retention out of an audiobook, so I considered this is a critical functionality for an audiobook app.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. just open a book and play
  2. notice the bookmark button on the bottom left not showing up

Audiobookshelf version

2.5.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Docker

There are several issues for this in the audiobookshelf-app repo. Offline bookmarks are not supported yet, you must be connected to the server for the bookmark button to appear.
