No m4b support

Everything seems to work except that m4b is not supported. I don’t really understand it as it calls itself an audiobook player.

Great app. But needs an update now

This by far the best audio book app I’ve come across. Been using it since the pandemic but lately it’s been very buggy. Force closes, freezes and won’t play some of my books. Developers please run a check and fix it. Thank you. Please issue an update

Doesn’t support chapters

What good is an audiobook player that doesn’t support chapters.? If I’d known that I’d never have downloaded it, much less paid for premium

Does not work with icloud

don’t waste your money

Has a lot of potential as an audiobook player and media manager

But it does not have chapter support with m4b files. Cannot see the chapters or skip by chapters. Entire audiobook is only one long “track”.

:(

No offline use, no cloud
No answer from Support
Waste of time and Money

Dropboxのm4bファイルの読み込みが必ず失敗する

このアプリをインストールした目的がDropboxでのAudiobookの再生なのですが役に立ちません。

Fantastic

Have used this for many years to listen to audiobooks stored on my google drive, highly recommend

Great app

I have tried most apps like this one and it stands head and shoulders above them all. Highly recommended.

PayWall jumpscare

Just as you think you can download your college lectures onto your phone, you have to end up paying $13/month for this service. No thanks!

Great app. But needs an update now

Almost what I want

Very useful for audiobooks in cloud storage, but I wish I could sync my position across platforms and devices and wish I could cache the current audio file locally.

Unreliable

Often forgets where I was in a book if I haven’t opened it in a week. Useless.

So far so good.

I was looking for a good service that could not only play audiobooks that I already have. But could also sync them between iPhone and iPad. I’ve looked at some other apps and synchronization is like $60 a year with other apps. Along with some other feature I don’t really care about. $8 a year for syncing between devices is definitely doable. And the one time payment for the rest of the features is a great touch. Instead of also baking that into the yearly price. Keep it up!

Früher bester Hörbuch-Player…

…und seit 2022 endlich mit Unterstützung für Geteilte Ablagen (Google Drive), auch wenn dort der unlimitierte Speicherplatz zwischenzeitlich weggefallen ist.

Aber BookPlayer und Bound finde ich mittlerweile überlegen durch die Sleeptimer zum Ende des Kapitels, wenn man die Cloud-Funktion nicht benötigt.

Tipp: wenn man sowieso Office 365 in der Family Version nutzt (Office für rund 60€/Jahr), bekommt man für 6 Accounts jeweils 1 TB Speicherplatz und kann von jedem Account dann zB einen Ordner freigeben, sodass man in CloudBeats immer 6TB an Hörspielen mit sich herum tragen kann, ohne dass lokaler Speicher relevant belegt wird!

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Der Zugriff auf geteilte Ablagen ist eine Premium-Funktion.

Great App BUT it Seems to be broken

I have been using this app for years, but lately I have been unable to stream audiobooks added to the add. There seems to be an issue where my latest uploads from one-drive are not being added to my library. Please fix this as this is preventing me from purchasing the paid version.

Thanks.

Deleting files is arduous

I delete audiobooks when I’m done listening to them. Deleting files from CloudBeats is an arduous and uncertain process. First you tap the 3 vertical dots, then you tap “remove from offline,” then you tap “remove,” then tap the 3 vertical dots again, then tap “remove from library,” then sometimes (but not always) CloudBeats will download the book immediately afterwards. In one case, I had to remove the files from Google Drive to keep CloudBeats from downloading them without me telling it to. I emailed the developer but received no response.

Just. Perfect.

This is one of the unknown gems of the App Store. An app that allows me to stream my digitized CDs, Vinyls and collections of mp3 tracks right from my OneDrive account.

No space-hogging import. No lengthy indexing. No nothing. Just move in the filesystem to where my music is and enjoy listening to it.

So simple. So great.

can't play background playback

After updating, background playback is no longer possible. I found it very useful, so this is a problem. Please fix this.
