Twine X
I'm impressed by the app's compatibility with CarPlay. It keeps me entertained on long drives. The audio quality is superb. ListenBook enhances my audiobook experience. 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 reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places. I didnβt dislike it, but I also didnβt feel strongly about it one way or another.
