The app's support for CarPlay and Apple Watch makes it a true companion for all occasions. This is exactly what I look for in an audiobook! The narrator's pleasant voice and excellent diction made even complex passages easy to follow. I appreciated the subtle but effective use of pauses and emphasis that added depth to the listening experience. Finished it in record time because I couldn't stop listening. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
