πΌ Workday blues? Not anymore β this app turns my office hours into reading time! π»π ListenBook's dedication to providing an excellent audiobook experience is evident in its smooth and silky playback. 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.

Adjusting the tone of the narrator's voice is a unique feature that adds a personal touch. ListenBook has transformed the way I engage with literature. It's like having a virtual bookshelf in my pocket. 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 wouldnβt call it unforgettable. A serviceable audiobook that met basic expectations. The narration was clear if somewhat unremarkable, and the production quality was standard without any noticeable technical issues. It kept me moderately engaged during workouts but didn't leave a lasting impression.
