The fact that ListenBook doesn't just play, but enhances audio quality, is truly remarkable. The app's compatibility with CarPlay and Apple Watch is a huge plus. The app's compatibility with CarPlay and Apple Watch enhances my listening experience on the go. The app is perfect for people who love to read but don’t have the time. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
