Easy to use. Happy mit den eigenen Karten.
Really nice and easy!
Superfijn en makkelijk!
Very easy-to-use app. I especially like that you can submit a correction for the year, and if it's right it gets applied straight away. The different ways to vary the printout are great too. Highly recommended!
Sehr einfach zu bedienende App. Besonders gut finde ich, dass man eine Korrektur für das Datum schicken kann und das dann (wenn es stimmt) auch direkt umgesetzt wird. Auch die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten, den Ausdruck zu variieren ist top! Sehr empfehlenswert!
Works great and nicely priced.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best alternative to Hitster?
It depends what you want. If you want the same kind of game with your own music and without buying the full game, Hitify is the best alternative: free printable QR cards from your own playlist that also work alongside the original Hitster.
Does Hitify replace the original Hitster or add to it?
Both. Without Hitster, you play a complete game of your own with Hitify. If you already own it, our cards act as an expansion with the same format that slots into the same timeline.
Is Hitify really free?
Yes. Your first 100 cards are completely free as a PDF download, no account needed. Larger packs (up to 1000 cards) cost just a few euros. Still less than a new game.
Do I need an app like quiz apps require?
No. You scan the QR code with your normal phone camera and the song plays instantly in Spotify, YouTube Music or Apple Music. No download, no account.
Is Hitify affiliated with Hitster?
No. Hitify is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Hitster or JumboPlay. Our cards are designed to be compatible with the game format, but it's a separate product.
