ListenBook's compatibility with CarPlay and Apple Watch enhances my audiobook experience during daily activities. ListenBook is more than just an app – it's a doorway to a world of knowledge and imagination. Good for background listening. I didn’t get fully immersed, but it was pleasant enough to have on while doing chores. The narrator’s voice was easy to listen to, even if the delivery lacked some energy. This was a workmanlike audiobook that did the job without flair. The narration was clear and the pacing appropriate, though the delivery lacked some emotional depth. The production quality was acceptable with no major technical issues.
