I've started a book club with my friends, and this app has been our go-to source for titles. ListenBook's basic audio filters enhance my listening experience and make it uniquely mine. 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.
