Sharing audiobooks with friends through AirDrop and Sharing on ListenBook Pro is a feature I can't live without. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldnβt call it unforgettable.

I've become a more attentive listener thanks to the engaging audiobooks. ListenBook's support for various formats means I can explore a wide range of content without limitations. Simplifying my audiobook experience β this app's design is remarkable. 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. Solid performance overall though some character voices sounded too similar. I occasionally got confused about who was speaking in dialogue-heavy scenes.
