Listen. Guess. Know the Year.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
NEW: Personal playlists and animated album cover reveals. Recognize songs, guess the year, and challenge friends in multiplayer.
Tired of music games with songs nobody under 25 has heard of?
WhatTheHit listens to the music around you — and turns it into a live guessing game. Current hits included. Always up to date. No expensive expansion packs.
Hear a song. Guess the release year. Sounds simple — becomes an obsession fast.
ALBUM COVER REVEALS
Every reveal becomes a moment: animated cover unveilings with vinyl flip, Apple Music effect, or party burst — because the moment you find out matters.
YOUR PLAYLISTS. YOUR SONGS.
Build your own playlists from songs you've discovered. Play them against friends — with your music collection.
MUSIC IS EVERYWHERE. SO IS WHATTHEHIT.
Bar, road trip, dinner party — open the app, let it listen. The song is recognized, the guessing begins.
FOUR WAYS TO PLAY
• Party — Take turns or go head-to-head in buzzer mode. Players connect their own iPhone and guess on their own screen.
• Jukebox — Stream songs from curated playlists and guess at your own pace.
• Race — One host, multiple challengers. 15–60 seconds per song.
• Radar — Recognize songs in real time. Title, artist, and year — instantly.
HINTS THAT TEACH YOU SOMETHING
AI-generated hints from six categories: sports, politics, people, science, film, and music. Real facts — but every hint costs points. Use them wisely.
ALWAYS FRESH. ALWAYS CURRENT.
AI-curated playlists by genre, decade, and mood — including the latest chart hits, a Gen Z collection, and seasonal specials.
FREE TO PLAY. MORE TO UNLOCK.
All four modes, live music recognition, multiplayer, and three curated playlists — completely free. Upgrade for the full song library.
– Monthly or yearly.
– No ads. No gimmicks.
