ListenBook’s playback is silky-smooth. The app never glitches. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed.

The narrator's delivery was professional but uninspired, and the recording quality was clean though not exceptional. It provided satisfactory entertainment without standing out from similar titles.
