Audiobooks at my fingertips – this app's functionality is a game-changer. Sharing audiobooks with friends through AirDrop is a wonderful way to spread the love of literature. I’d listen to this narrator read anything! Their voice was so expressive and fitting for the material. The story itself was great, but the narration took it to the next level. Definitely a 5-star experience. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
