ListenBook's seamless integration with CarPlay has made my drives more informative. Bookmarks are a lifesaver for study materials. I never lose my place again. Downloading books directly in the app is so easy. Highly recommend! Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
