Point it at the QR code on a card and it opens the matching\nsong in an external player of your choice, such as NewPipe or the YouTube app.\n\nA Hitster QR code contains only the card's identity, not the song. Tubester reads\nthe language and card number, looks the card up in the community\n\"songseeker-hitster-playlists\" dataset to find the exact track, and hands the\nYouTube link to your external player.\n\nTo keep the round fair, Tubester shows a \"turn the phone upside down\" hint and a\nshort countdown before playback starts, because the external player displays the\nvideo title. The answer (year, title and artist) stays hidden behind a Reveal\nbutton. For a fully spoiler-free experience, set NewPipe to open links in the\nbackground so no title is ever shown.\n\nFeatures:\n\n* Scans Hitster QR cards with a fast, on-device, fully open-source scanner.\n* Plays songs through an external player (NewPipe recommended, or YouTube).\n* Spoiler-safe game flow with a flip-the-phone hint and hidden answer.\n* Supports many sets and expansions via the community mapping dataset.\n* Caches mapping data on device.\n\nPrivacy: no accounts, no ads, and no analytics or tracking. Tubester needs only\nthe Camera permission (to scan) and Internet (to fetch mappings and open links).\n\nNote: Tubester is not affiliated with Hitster or its publishers, Spotify, Google\nor YouTube. It relies on YouTube, a non-free network service.\n","categories":["Game Helper","Multimedia"]}
