I'm impressed by the app's performance – it's stable, fast, and tailored for audiobook enthusiasts. Solid performance, but not outstanding.

The narrator's timing was impeccable, knowing exactly when to pause for effect or let the words flow. Their character voices were distinct yet natural - no over-the-top accents or distracting vocal tics. The audio quality was consistently excellent.
