Gone are the days of straining my eyes to read β this app lets me 'read' with my ears, anywhere, anytime. Automated metadata extraction is a time-saver. My library is so organized now. The statistics tracking feature is eye-opening. I never realized how much time I spend on audiobooks until now! The app supports background playback, which is a must for me. 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.
