FAQ:

Q: How can I shuffle songs:

-> Swipe up the panel from the bottom. The shuffle-button is on the bottom right.

Q: I cannot find my music, where is it ?

-> If you change to the 'add root path' modus, you will first be on the storage, your device's manufacturer chose to be the 'primary storage'. If your device has another storage (e.g. sdcard/internal), hit up until you can navigate to it

I use it to play music on my google drive.it's a very useful app.I love it..

This is the best app around. Seriously don't bother with other apps. This app has seamless streaming and many awesome features. The latest fix also removed the annoying ad banner at the bottom of the screen. I don't mind ads since the apps will be free but that was kinda ridiculous. Need some work to improve the queue function, easier way to navigate folders, find a way to play from shared folders, and I have some issues when on call and listening to music simultaneous. Otherwise still awesome and no close competition offering. Please branch into video streaming from cloud.

I have a lot of audio books and things of that sort in Google Drive and its great to be able to play them as a playlist. One feature I think is NEEDED is for the player to recognize items tagged as "AVAILABLE OFFLINE" in Google Drive and play them from the device instead. Sometimes I do this to save on bandwidth or when I know I will be disconnected for some time.

Useful tool,overall works reasonably well. does crash multiple times a day. If I switch apps, occasionally the time playing will get stuck and not reflect current time.is there a way to submit bug reports?

I really love using Beat to stream my audiobooks rather than storing them on my phone. I'd like to see a bookmark option though. I know it's not needed for listening to short music tracks but it would be handy for long files.

Z70%
by Z####:

I read that this plays offline files on Dropbox but I can't see ANY way to make that happen! It would be ridiculous to use up all that data to stream every song each time I want to play it.

Its feature sounds promising by reviews..by since I'm using it from only 1 day...I dnt wana b judgmental.. by the only problem I'm facing is my music keep stucking after playing for 4secs approx ...and when I'm hitting play again it going for 4sec and same thing...I'm using 10 mbps speed plan for my Wi-Fi on which I'm using it .Dev's if u can help me out , I really appreciate that..

rlly enjoyed the App, but.. mm.. for some reason dont work as well on Nougat. don't show the timer or play cloud cached songs :/ For now, I'm looking an alternative.

K70%
by K####:

Extremely buggy and pretty much unusable. Tapping on various elements does nothing at all - for example, the top-right 3 dot menu, only hitting my phones menu key brings up the Settings menu, not tapping the dots directly. Same for almost all menu items, tapped on each of them countless times with nothing happening. Bitterly disappointing, this app isn't even at the Beta stage never mind fit-for-purpose.

is a very good app, for streaming cloud music. too bad it wont read .wma and other audio files...

by K####:

I like the idea as storing my collection of more than 10000 songs on the google cloud is the way to do it. The app, however, crashes when changing a song too quickly and looses connection if I walk out of wifi range and then walk back in. Even though my phone re-acquires the signal, the app does not recover and doesn't continue the song. Update: As of today (05-03-17), it fails to access Google drive no matter what I do: reinstalling, clearing cache, logout of the drive and login again. Nothing. A pale grey message says 'No files found, Google Drive not initialized or connection lost.' Not true, all the connections are established, and there's nothing wrong with Google Drive as other apps access it just fine. Don't know what to do here...

App doesn't support opus. It loaded old outdated formats like mp3 just fine but who still uses mp3 when there are better alternatives with better quality and smaller file siezes?

My favorite cloud player, for a minute I had to try to find a replacement bcz I was have playback issues after getting a new phone, but since then it's been updated and works flawless like it use too!!! The best hands down!!!!

The best player I could find for accessing my music player. Deducted one star as there was no support when it stopped after an Android update.

Doesn't play large files very well (any lossless formats or longplay soundtracks) due to huge buffering times. Occasionally crashes for no readily apparent reason.

by K####:

It's free, and it technically plays audio files in cloud accounts, but no recursive playlist functionality? I have to browse into every folder MANUALLY? And no playlist management?
