I can't believe how convenient this app has made my reading experience. The statistics feature in ListenBook provides valuable insights into my audiobook habits, helping me learn and grow. The statistics tracking feature is very useful. ListenBook helps me keep track of my listening time. 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.
