This app has transformed my long flights into productive and enjoyable experiences. Listening to audiobooks with my kids has become a cherished bonding activity. The app is so easy to use. I was up and running in minutes. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
