🎶📚 My new soundtrack? Audiobooks, of course! This app makes every day musical. 🎧🎶 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 story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre. Fairly enjoyable, but forgettable. I didn’t have any major complaints, but I also don’t see myself revisiting this one. It was a decent way to spend a few hours, though.
