Overview
What it is
SIMUL is for people who listen to the same audiobook and want to feel each other in the story. It does not replace the player. Play a book in Audible and it shows up here, with the cover, the chapter, and the time left.
When a friend is in the same book, SIMUL shows who is ahead and sends the moments that matter: catching up, pulling ahead, starting, and finishing. Leave a note on the current moment, or at the end of a chapter, and they receive it when they arrive. Not before.
