What others are saying
Absolute must have
This app is absolutely a must if you want to play Hitster. Works perfectly with Apple Music. The original app from Jumbo only throws error messages. If I were Jumbo I would have paid the developer a hefty sum to take over the app to make Hitster an even bigger success. You are a star and thank you for making a perfect app!
Amazing!
Works fantastically. Nothing to complain about. No Spotify needed (anymore). Thanks Willem!
Very nice
This is great. Lovely Hitstering with Apple Music.

Frequently asked questions
Can I contribute to the development of Beatster?
Absolutely. The easiest way is to share which features you'd love to see, or to report any bugs you run into. Every bit of feedback helps shape the next version.
I'm seeing "Song unavailable" on a card — what now?
Songs and albums are occasionally removed from Apple Music — it can happen to regular playlists too. Usually the same track is still available on a different album release. Report the card number and the Hitster set, and I'll re-link it to an available version in the next update.
What does "Unrecognized card" mean?
You likely scanned a card from a Hitster edition that isn't supported yet. Check the App Store description or the in-app settings to see the full list of recognized editions. If your set isn't there, let me know and I'll see if I can add it.
Is my Hitster edition supported?
Beatster supports 60+ editions across 15+ countries, and more are added continuously. The most up-to-date list is in the App Store description and in the app's settings under recognized editions. Don't see yours? Let me know and I'll see if I can add it.
