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

Would be great if it didn't play numbered songs out of order. For example, it will play 1, 10, 11 then 2,3,4,etc.
Worked really well for a long time, but lately the app keeps shutting down after every few songs.
Guys be careful the developer doesn't described here that this app also has full access to your Google Drive files and delete what's not necessary for a music player, don't use this until the developer change this permission otherwise report this app
Simple and direct. Plays music from storage and Google Drive excellently.
easy to use and fast
Doesn't work on Honor 10
best cloud player app that I found!
Installed to play my music from dropbox, I select dropbox fro the first screen and all it has been doing is the blue circle for hours. It shouldn't need to download anything. There doesn't appear to be an option to choose a particular dropbox folder so for some reason it is trying to look at everything. Totally useless and a waste of time.
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.
Worked at first, then one day no longer could stream stream from my Dropbox. Google was working. After reinstalling, could not remove the "message block" asking to turn off overlay settings when starting app ( and these settings we're all turned off). This block occurs with other apps, but I can get past it. With Beat i no longer could get past it
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.
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.
Is there a way on here to hear the songs on my google drive that I designated Available Offline? That is an important feature for me, so if it is not currently available, please find a way. Another thing is that the app turns black and white, and I cannot fix it by forestopping the app, only uninstalling and reinstalling fixes it.
It's a good app, would make it 5 stars but there are a few things that bother me. The main thing that bothers me is that when I want to put my whole music folder into one Playlist, it doesn't include all the music in my folder. I like to keep my Playlist in alphabetic order but I can't because of this problem (also its annoying finding which songs aren't in my Playlist). Would happily give a 5 star if it gets fixed.
So far, I like Beat and have complaints: I wish there was a search function so I could search for, say, Prince and all his music would come up; sometimes the album art does not appear. Other than that, for now, I enjoy the app!
Once I approved my Dropbox account in this app, all I get is that blue circle spinning open and closed. Nothing else happens. I'm so disappointed.
Doesn't even open my Google Drive frozen on the main page. Very anti climatic. Downloaded on my Samsung S6 Android version 7.0 with update Aug 2017
Stupid floating cloud at the top of the app made me seasick. Also took forever to load the music- never did, in fact. Wanted to access my contacts and voice recorder for some reason. Uninstalled immediately.
It would be a great app if it worked well. It was great at first but now I can't get the app to refresh the drives. I add files to Dropbox but the app never refreshes and doesn't see them.
A very good app for cloud storage. It has alot of visual options which I really like. I would recommend it to everyone.
Doesn't work anymore on my xiaomi redmi 4 pro (MIUI)since the last update
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.
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.
Nagyon jól működik, késleltetés nélkül, akadás mentesen lejátsza a onedrive-on lévő zenéimet. Perfect :D Its works perfectly, without delay or lagging. I am using it with my OneDrive. Perfect App.
The best! Have been using this app everyday for the last few years. Just got a new phone (oreo), and the app was non responsive after installation...gasp! But got it working after changing the permissions! Make sure to tap "allow " for all items.
I like it a lot, works fine though the UI a little clunky. Making playlists across all four cloud services and local storage is huge and I don't believe it is matched anywhere.
