This app is a boon for book lovers who are always on the go. I never thought I'd find an app that supports such a wide range of audiobook formats. ListenBook is a true gem! 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 wouldn’t call it unforgettable.
