Skull Crusher
ListenBook's user-friendly controls and innovative features have made it an essential tool for my audiobook enjoyment. I love how this app's chapters, bookmarks, and controls give me full control over my audiobook journey. 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. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
