The app is so responsive. It never lags or freezes. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks, and this one stands out for its professional quality. The narrator struck the ideal balance between dramatic interpretation and letting the text speak for itself. The audio engineering was superb with consistent volume levels and crystal-clear recording. The narrator's voice was like butter - smooth, rich, and utterly pleasant to listen to for hours.
