CloudBeats: audio book player

Doesn’t read chapter info on m4b files. Very basic feature that is missing, therefore, it is rubbish.

After the latest update, the app is now perfect! The developers listened and updated the app, so it’s now fixed the issue of finding where you left off. It’s the best app for all your audiobooks. .......... Old review (old version) Still can’t tell where I left off and the app no longer shows already played tracks. This app was 5 stars but after an update a few months ago you can now no longer see where you got up to on an audiobook! This makes it a nightmare going through each chapter/track until you reach the one you’re up to. It’s fine if you’re listening to one audiobook as it keeps your place, but if your swapping between books you can no longer see the blue process bar showing where you was up to and what tracks you had already listed to. Please update this ASAP. If your thinking of purchasing this app I would still buy it. It’s a good app that works well they just need to sort out this bug. Streaming from all the services e.g Dropbox works very well and it’s great to keep an archive of your audiobooks. The app still keeps your place where you left off it just won’t tell you what tracks you have already listed too. So it’s a pain is you swap between audiobooks. You have to click randomly through the tracks until you find your place.

This app is pricey at £6.99, yet it does not even have a dark display mode. This is an unforgivable omission, especially as many people listen to audiobooks at night. I will gladly revise this one-star rating when this app is updated to modern standards.

Finally abandoning this app due to a series of annoying bugs. I’ve had dozens of empty playlists appearing from nowhere, playlists I created becoming empty, random crashes when refreshing large Google Drive folders and a really odd one where the app would display one audiobook but actually be playing a different one. Sorry guys but you need to improve your quality control.

This app is really great. I am however having some issues with the library scan? Is it suppose to scan your cloud storage folder for new audiobooks and add them to your library? At the moment I am having to manually add them by browsing to Google Drive folder.

Just what I needed an unlike v2.14.3 to f Cloudbeats, the Audiobook version does get beyond the share sign-in screen, so don' hesitate to try it.

The app is great for listening to audio comedy I've stored to google drive like old podcasts. It does what the google drive player can do like store files locally but adds bookmarking a place in a file, remembering last play position and played files and a sleep timer.
