AirDrop sharing is a very convenient feature. Thanks, ListenBook! I love the quick access to settings. It makes tweaking the app so easy. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience.
