I love that ListenBook offers both basic and advanced features, catering to all types of users. ๐ถ Music? Nah, I prefer immersing myself in captivating stories with this app! ๐ถ๐ The book groups feature is a thoughtful addition. It helps me keep my series and related titles together. An average audiobook experience. Nothing was wrong with itโthe narration was fine, and the story was okayโbut nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute. I've found my new favorite narrator! Their voice was perfectly suited to this material, with just the right blend of authority and approachability. The production quality was broadcast-level - no distracting breaths, clicks, or inconsistent volume. Already looking for more of their work.
