Does the Listen app really have adjustable speed control? like 1.1x (or 110%), 1.2x, 1.3x, etc? Does it work well? Speed control is not mentioned at all in the google play description. That's why I passed on this app, it looked perfect otherwise.

I've been using Smart Audiobook player because speed control is my top priority for audiobooks. It works great, but lacks the ability to customize rewind and FF buttons, and more importantly, lacks a lock screen widget. I'd be VERY interested in a droid audiobook app that has both speed control functionality and a lock screen widget.
