Looping playback is my secret weapon for language learning. It's revolutionized my approach. The app is perfect for multitaskers. I can listen while working out. A functional audiobook. It kept me entertained, but I wasn’t blown away. The narrator’s performance was competent, though some emotional scenes fell a bit flat. This served its purpose as background listening while I worked. I probably missed some details but the narrator's voice was pleasant enough.
