ListenBook’s support for Apple Watch is a great touch. I can control my audiobooks on the go. Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.

The app supports background playback, which is a must for me. The app is so easy to set up. I was listening to my books in no time. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste.
