The compatibility with CarPlay and Apple Watch sets ListenBook apart from the rest. CUE playlist support is a fantastic addition. It helps me organize my audiobooks effortlessly. I love the ability to change the playback pitch. It’s a unique feature. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable. Perfect for my daily walks. The story was engaging enough to keep me motivated to exercise but not so complex that I got lost in thought. Great production quality too.
