This audiobook app is a true gem – it brings stories to life with every click. The statistics feature is brilliant. I love seeing how much time I spend on audiobooks with ListenBook. 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. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
