This app has transformed my daily routine into moments of literary delight. The app's ability to extract artwork and metadata automatically is a huge time-saver. The best app for audiobooks. Downloading and organizing files is super easy with ListenBook. The app is so well-designed. It’s clear the developers put a lot of thought into it. A serviceable audiobook that met basic expectations. The narration was clear if somewhat unremarkable, and the production quality was standard without any noticeable technical issues. It kept me moderately engaged during workouts but didn't leave a lasting impression.
