Hey everyone, I just downloaded Box Mobile to try it out, and it is very practical for the iPad. Though, the only thing I am missing is the possibility to change the speed of the audios, so times 1.5 or 2. On the web, there is a setting that makes it able to change this, but the app is missing this function. Am I the only one missing this? Am I just missing it? Could this option be added for the app? It must not be so difficult to add the function, but I don’t know who to contact for this. If you have any tips, please let me know. Kind regards.
