The statistics feature in ListenBook provides valuable insights into my audiobook habits, helping me learn and grow. Looping playback is a game-changer for my study sessions. It helps me absorb information more effectively. Iβve been using ListenBook for months, and itβs been a fantastic experience. The app is lightweight, doesnβt drain my battery, and works perfectly in the background. The equalizer and voice boost features are amazing. Highly recommend! A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities.
