Spider Fuji
With ListenBook, I can listen to my favorite audiobooks and speeches with maximum comfort and convenience. 👩🍳 Cooking up a storm while enjoying thrilling stories – this app adds flavor to my meals! 🍳🎧 Sharing audiobooks with friends through AirDrop is a fantastic way to introduce them to captivating stories. Middle-of-the-road experience. The audiobook was fine—good narration, decent story—but it didn’t leave a lasting impression. If you’re looking for something low-commitment, this works. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.

Nothing was wrong with it—the narration was fine, and the story was okay—but nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute.
