Spacing beats volume, and the reason is not motivation. It is that forgetting is part of how remembering works.
Audio is not a worse version of reading. It is good at different things, and knowing which is the difference between a useful commute and a wasted one.
The level you name is the single input that decides whether a programme is useful or discouraging. Most people aim one step too far.
Not mastery. Something more useful: the vocabulary to read the field, and enough footing to know what to learn next.
Connectivity is not the problem. Attention is. An app that works in a tunnel is an app that works on the commute where you would actually read.
