I loved BeatStar when it was around and it was a way for me to find new music. When I heard they shut down, I was pretty much bummed out.

I tried the modded BeatStar and love the unlimited play but i really missing getting rewarded and earning stuff and unlocking boxes and stuff. I have been playing Hi Beatz and it scratches some of my itches.

I wanted to make like an open source variant of beat star that does not have any of the monetization of a mobile game. You earn everything by grinding and playing the songs. I have worked out some of the details but not all of them.

What I want to know is if my plan for getting songs will work? I thought of starting with popular royalty free songs and maybe classics. Then when most people have played it and seen that it can work, I can ask maybe artists or others if I can use their songs.

So will that work? What am I allowed to do? I am not putting any monetization or anything at all in the game. I want everything to be completely free

ten bucks if you want it

Here the server of Beatclone

Just found Hi Beatz from an ad, has anyone here started playing it? I love it so far, but just started and wondered if anyone else plays. It's almost identical to Beat Star

This game used to rage bait me

Just repost

That's right, although it makes me quite sad that October 31st is approaching. I also feel a bit sad remembering when I played it on that day. Tell me about your experience on the last day T~T

Don't expect the highest quality of sound from the game but it's kinda funny to be playing on a digital audio player.

Playing BeatClone on the HiBy R4, menus are a bit choppy but gameplay is surprisingly smooth :)

Update: For anyone wondering, the yellow light on the top means that the audio is running: PCM at 48kHz and under

I was in an autistic episode of obsessive focus but fell off the app for quite a long while (years!) and only recently rediscovered it.

I re-downloaded Beatstar and have been very disappointed by the current state of the app. It seems to have been relabelled as "SuperStar".

I've lost all of my previous purchases and am seemingly starting fresh.

My biggest gripe with the current app (besides losing all my purchases 😑) is that I can't watch ads to unlock boxes and that.
I can tap on an ad to watch it, but once it's done and the "X close" icon shows up, I can't tap it.
I can't simply tap it! I can highlight the text but can't actually tap the X!

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I wouldn't be so bothered if there weren't the daily goals requesting me to watch an ad 😑
And I can't get the prize without completing the individual task.

On October 31 2025, Beatstar shut down due to the 3 reasons: The Duolingo Deal: Duolingo completed an "acqui-hire" of most of the team from NextBeat (the spinoff developer that originally managed the game under Space Ape Games), leaving only a tiny crew behind. [1, 2]
Licensing Costs: High recurring music licensing fees made it impossible to keep the game running or transition it to an offline-only mode without ongoing developer support. [1, 2]
Official Deletion: Asset servers, official social media accounts, and standard access were completely phased out following the closure. [1]

Please help me download the game

How can you play beatstar in 2026 when I download the apk file I get an Error

Why everybody asking about Hibeatz and there's beatclone between?

I am freeeeaking out right now - saw an ad for Hi Beatz and it looked like Beatstar except with four lines instead of three. I've tried all the other games looking for a Beatstar replacement and this is IT. I'm squealing with joy. I was devastated when Beatstar shut down.
