## Review summary

CloudBeats excels with cloud-based audiobook playback and easy progress tracking across devices, making offline listening straightforward. However, it lacks m4b chapter support and suffers from stability issues, along with cloud-service download problems. If you rely on cloud storage and cross-device syncing and can tolerate occasional bugs and missing chapter features, it’s a strong option; otherwise you may encounter frustrating gaps in playback and navigation.

### Pros

- Excellent cloud storage integration (Google Drive, Dropbox, Nextcloud) for streaming or offline listening.
- User-friendly interface with reliable progress tracking and easy resume playback.
- Cross-device position syncing for audiobooks and convenient offline availability across devices.

### Cons

- No m4b/chapter support—chapters cannot be viewed or navigated for files that contain them.
- Stability issues: frequent bugs, force closes, freezes, and unpredictable playback interruptions.
- Cloud integration problems and download issues (e.g., Nextcloud downloads stalling or failing; some concerns about Google Drive permissions), plus limited straightforward local file browsing.
