Jersey
I've been able to explore different cultures and perspectives through a diverse range of books. ListenBook's dedication to providing an excellent user experience sets a new standard in audiobook apps. I love the ability to import books from my computer. Itβs so easy. A functional audiobook. It kept me entertained, but I wasnβt blown away. The narratorβs performance was competent, though some emotional scenes fell a bit flat. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening.
