Subzero Taffy
ListenBook's versatile player features are like having a personal audio assistant โ it's that good! Audiobook multitasking simplified โ this app's ease of use is a true asset. 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.
