Apple Music sketchy

Played recently for the first time in a while. Excited to see Apple Music integration, but found it took a long time to start any track and many didn’t start at all.
(And the game really only works with short samples, playing the whole track is too slow and unnecessary.)

Eigentlich ein tolles Spiel, aber

da ich kein Spotify aus gründen nutzen möchte, ist es für mich nicht spielbar. Eine Möglichkeit Apple Music, TIDAL,SoundCloud uvm. zu nutzen wäre Super

Seit neusten kann man auch über Apple Music spielen. Nun ist es Top😍

Response from developer

Wenn du in Deutschland spielst, ist es mittlerweile erfreulicherweise möglich, zwischen verschiedenen Streamingdiensten zu wählen. Du kannst die App ganz einfach aktualisieren und in den Einstellungen zu deinem bevorzugten Streamingdienst wechseln. Wir wünschen dir weiterhin ganz viel Spaß beim Spielen!

We're sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. There was an issue in you version of the app that we've just fixed. To get the best possible Hitster experience, please update to version 4.1 or later in the App Store.
