About this app
From open mic to number one.
You're 18, with $1,000, a part-time job and a notebook of ideas. Hitladder is a text-based music career simulator: one week at a time, you write, record and release songs, play shows, sign a deal or stay independent, and climb the charts. Rapper or singer, seven genres, one career that is yours.
WRITE · RECORD · RELEASE
Write to what's hot, cut the demo in your bedroom or a top studio, and pick your moment. Release singles, EPs and albums. Rush your releases and your listeners tune out.
SIGN OR STAY INDIE
Majors bring radio and big playlists. Indie deals and going it alone keep more of your money. Every offer shows you the math before you sign, and every contract ends.
CHASE THE CHARTS
A Top 100 and a Top 25 for every genre, packed with 96 fictional rivals who release, rise and fall every week. To get on the chart, your streams have to beat theirs.…

Five-star share of ratings
90% or more five-star
Arithmetic on the stores' own published rating counts. It says nothing about why the ratings fall where they do.
In the app package we scanned
No package has been scanned for this app, so nothing is published about what it ships. That is an absence of evidence, not a finding.

Method and limits
What a missing label means
Not yet tested. No analysis has been published for this app, so there is no method to describe for it yet. A missing label is not a clean bill of health: it means nothing has been read, not that nothing is wrong.
Limits of this report
- A package scan is static. It identifies code and text in one Android build. It does not measure a live ad session, test a deletion request, or count the steps needed to cancel.
- Reviews keep their sample. A review-only charge shows distinct reviewers, the share and the sample size, and is published only once it clears that label’s published threshold. Calibration labels are machine-drafted and not yet confirmed by a person.
- Not assessed is a state. It is never a zero and never a pass.
- A missing label is not a clean bill of health. It means the evidence did not support one, not that the app is problem-free.
Not yet human-reviewed. A human review gives an app hands-on, recorded measurements. None has been run for this app. Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
