Listening to audiobooks on this app has become my favorite way to relax. ListenBook's auto-rewind feature is a thoughtful addition that ensures I never miss a single word. The voice boost feature is amazing. It makes every word crystal clear. A middle-of-the-road audiobook that neither impressed nor disappointed. The narrator's voice was agreeable enough for extended listening, though their character differentiation could have been stronger. The production met basic industry standards without any standout qualities. Solid performance overall though some character voices sounded too similar. I occasionally got confused about who was speaking in dialogue-heavy scenes.
