ListenBook's intuitive controls and features have made it my preferred choice for audiobooks. ๐ Adding excitement to everyday tasks โ this app is my partner in productivity! ๐๐ Navigating chapters and genres is a breeze with this app's functionality. 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 wouldnโt call it unforgettable. An average audiobook experience. Nothing was wrong with itโthe narration was fine, and the story was okayโbut nothing particularly stood out. It served its purpose as entertainment during my commute.
