Audio Feature suggestion

It would be nice if you'd add a feature to the Mobile app that would use whatever system narration features are available on the phone to read resources in our logos library. This functionality is available in the desktop app and it would be very useful to me on my phone. I would need this to be an offline feature since it would be most useful for me on long hikes through the jungle to co-workers' villages. This would allow me to continue my studies while hiking. Currently I listen to what audiobooks and podcasts I have, but that doesn't let me dig deep into the many resources available to me in Logos. Maybe I'm alone in this and it will never happen, but then again, maybe there are many others out there who would like to listen to all their Logos books, not just the ones with recordings.

Shalom Jason!

This feature has been available on the iOS (and Windows) platform for several years now. I use it almost daily on my iPad and it works quite well:

Unfortunately, the Read Aloud feature is not available on Android devices even though it has been requested multiple times.

This is possible for Android as well, but is not what I would like. Using accessibility features requires the phone to be actively used, it will not autoscroll nor can you keep your phone in your pocket for a long hike or drive. This is not a logos feature but rather an android /ios feature. For the windows platform it's slightly different, it's actually a logos feature that uses the system narrator functionality of windows to achieve a result that would be more like what I'm suggesting here.
