I love how this app turns even the dullest tasks into exciting storytelling moments. Noise reduction and voice tone changing are brilliant features. Adjustable playback speed and volume controls are fantastic features. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narratorβs voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldnβt necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
