HITRECORD: Create Together Reviews

So this whole stuck at home thing has had me going stir crazy. I joined twitter and it’s been able to occupy me a little, I’m following Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who I adore) and he started this amaaaazing app called this app. It’s an interactive platform for creatives with themes for you to contribute to (so no worry about creative block) and multiple means with steps included to contribute!! For instance, one project will have a poem, it will ask that you read the poem and do a voice recording, create an animation, add to the poem or make a movie about it. I mean for someone bored and creative HITRECORD is quarantine GOLD!!! My daughter and I are both using it, it is so cool to see how we can look at the same thing and her creative mind goes a completely different direction than mine. If you’re a creative, give HITRECORD a go! It’s amazeballs!!

HITRECORD is ok. But impossible to throw up new records that have no ties to existing projects like the website still allows users to do so on the platform. It makes really not want to contribute or share records I have thought about posting because all HITRECORD does is allow you to post on HITRECORD if you start from the project main page that describes the project. The website I will still use to post once in a while but the only thing that HITRECORD is actually useful it seems is to see a large library of records that I wished categorized things by year and user on top of what’s already there. Finding records is impossible unless you’re using record numbers that are assigned to each record like website urls to each record. I still like the platform and the community but there are things that could be better. Still great for what it is but it doesn’t keep me compelled to contribute just because it’s frustrating to upload from a website but HITRECORD just isn’t fluid in comparison

This is really great! Definitely has inspired me. I love the challenges too. I love how you combine everyone’s skills to create a finished project as well.
One thing I don’t like though, is that sometimes it will alert me that one of my pieces were remixed, but, it won’t be mine. I don’t understand why but hopefully you can fix it if you have a clue what I’m talking about.
Also, I don’t appreciate seeing cuss words in people’s stories and whatnot, I wish it was a bit more family friendly in that way. I know you can’t always control what people say, but perhaps you could add an “explicit” warning on the front or something. Thankfully I don’t see many stories like that though.
Other than that, I love HITRECORD , the layout, and the overall goal of this app. Thank you for creating it and for keeping up with it.😊

Great place to find open minds—as an artist I feel safe to share my take on things, to collaborate, and most importantly to have some fun. This isn’t the place to go to if you just want to make money or dominate on a social media platform, which I think is the perfect atmosphere for giving everyone an opportunity to have an input.

There is an opportunity to make some money occasionally, but in my opinion it’s typically divided between so many contributors that it is more about recognizing participation than providing some kind of wage(which I think I prefer this to motivating people to make art just so it sells to clients).

I would recommend this for anyone who prefers to self start, and just wants somewhere to see something creative and unique happen when a ton of people come together with a common goal.

A side note: both HITRECORD and the community have developed for the better over the year or so I’ve been watching, and I think it reflects the leaders intentional focus on more original content, diverse engagement from the community, and less of a ‘from the top down,’ creative process management. A+ idea and execution

Edit/update: Thank you for adding the message boards! :D

Please develop a way for the message boards to be accessible through the mobile app. Or at least having the notifications for message board comments to appear in the notifications tab. That way, when I see a notification from my message board, at least I'll know I need to open up the website on my desktop in order to view it and reply. I have literally just now learned that I have missed dozens of comments on my message board because I mainly use HITRECORD to upload posts from my phone. I very rarely open up the website from computer now, ever since HITRECORD came out. So an update pertaining to that would be wonderful!

I’ve been using the this app app for about 9 months and find it to be excellent. It is quick, efficient, and definitely a whole lot of fun. They also keep improving it, which I interpret as a sign of a company who cares about constantly making progress and who cares about making their platform accessible to anyone. I’ve only had good experiences with HITRECORD so far. Oh, and the users/members are all really respectful and friendly. No weirdness, creepiness, or inappropriateness. Awesome all around.

I love love this app. Initially when I gave it a whirl I found it to be too hard to figure out, but on a whim I reinstalled it. Even though I felt I wasn’t up to par with the other creators on this app, I missed the elaborate photoshop work and photos, etc. More than anything, I missed seeing just art and nothing else. Something that wasn’t really anywhere else online.
Anyway, overall I love HITRECORD still but I’ve tried to post the same photo like 5x and HITRECORD just won’t upload it. It’s on a very cool photography challenge... I’ve been forced to give up because I wasted a lot of time attempting to upload a photo of my uke and writing the same short caption without my app ever uploading it. Everyone else seems to be posting just fine though, so maybe my iPhone is bugging out. Not sure.

I saw a news story on this app during April when things were shut down here due to the pandemic. I finally took the plunge and I’ve enjoyed sharing my music and experiencing other people’s creations. I have noticed some of the introductory videos mention uploading “stems” for music files for others to remix. As simple as it to upload a finished music track, there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to upload stems in HITRECORD . Since I make all my music on my iPad now it would be better to have the ability to upload my stem tracks in HITRECORD and not have to transfer files to my computer to zip up and upload to the website.

this app is a fun, safe place to express your creativity while also exploring and developing it and also discovering so many talented people in a space that is 100% stress free! just be yourself!! not what you would find in hollywood! it’s the only guilt free app cuz it actually challenges you to dig deep and find creativity where you didn’t maybe know you had any while also appreciating the community talent that contributes! It’s real people doing their thing! 👏👏👏👏

I really want to give this 5 stars. The concept is amazing and it is fun to see all the different types of artists, writers, musicians, etc.
Now, the problem I have with this app is HITRECORD itself. It force closes constantly. I check my notifications it crashes, check the home page, you guessed it, it crashes. Click on anything on HITRECORD and it frikkin crashes and force closes. Every single time, come one guys, mobile is the only platform for some of us. Fix HITRECORD it’s been happening for a while. Oh and when I click app support it does nothing but opens HITRECORD which then FORCE CLOSES 🤦‍♀️

I’m sure it will be great once all the glitches get fixes 🙃

Meanwhile, I have an account already and double checked my password on desktop to be sure but it says “unable to log in” with both email address/pswd & facebook. It wouldn’t be because I’m technically logged in already on another device, would it? Dunno.. but looking forward to being more active since mobile video is a million times easier to do simple edits and upload than my hd camcorder files via desktop! Cheers

Sometimes you stumble across an app that you like sure I'll give it a try. Thinking you'll probably delete it when you need storage on your phone. But to be honest, this is a cool app and the stories, vocals and art are amazing.
I gave it four stars because it is a little confusing at first but it's like looking for a diamond. You got to really look for it and sometimes you are the diamond and others are looking for you. Hope this helped and I get to see more amazing things on here.

I love HITRECORD. Finally, someone who understands how important creativity and storytelling and art is. HITRECORD allows me to have a place and space for inspiration. I love seeing what other people create. I get really excited when they comment on my art, too. I’d recommend to anyone who has ever had that impulse to try something new and flex creative muscles.

I do love the concept of HITRECORD. It's a great way to get those creative juices flowing while having the opportunity to take part in projects that are being worked on by a collective team of highly skilled individuals. I only gave it 4 stars due to minor issues with navigation and glitches when setting up my profile. It might have more to do with my phone than anything else and probably should just use my laptop but it's whatever. I highly recommend HITRECORD .

So far one of the best apps of its kind, this app has kept me engaged ever since the day I downloaded it. The quick options of up/downloading texts, recordings, music and videos saves plenty of energy and time. The best thing about HITRECORD is that the challenges are kept really short and to the point. No huge project, no hassle. Just write/record it and release it. It's that simple. So far I'm not having any troubles with this version. However I'd like to see more updates.

I have been a member of this app since 2016 and it is by far my favorite online space.
While HITRECORD itself is still a work in progress it is evolving into a platform that’s accessible to anyone who is looking for a positive creative outlet, with a wide range of artistic projects readily available to contribute to and a supportive community to collaborate with.

I have not been able to find a way to:

Keep running in the background. (when listening to records in HITRECORD the record immediately stops once HITRECORD is no longer active in the foreground. Makes it difficult when collaborating musically. Sometimes it's desirable to hear what had been submitted and write to it in a different app.)

Cannot find a way to download working files or record files directly from HITRECORD . It redirects to the web. And the record file just for listening doesn't actually download. It just plays on a separate browser window.

Navigation is a bit difficult.

Hi! this app in general is great! Please let mobile users create projects through HITRECORD as we can on a desktop computer. That’s suggestion #1. Please allow us to filter prompts, etc based on user tags. Also, In Profile, let’s allow a deeper selection of interests. IE: Focused on the environment? Allow us to specify that, and have that discoverable in the this app community. Thank you for this app!

A great way to unwind from the mindless social media apps that lower my attention span (I’m looking at you IG and TikTok). I love this platform so much, allows me to explore my creativity in things i never imagined I would love, the community is also great, still the least toxic and most positive communities if compared to any other social media platform

Most of us don't realize just how creative we really are. HITRECORD allows you to contribute to so many different projects- that you truly understand that your capability for creative art – is limitless. This is so much more fun than just flipping through pictures in Pinterest... and I'm addicted to Pinterest!

Download it. JUST DO IT.
Live a little!

This is something that is so wonderful and brilliant. The world clearly needs this and so does every individual. I’ve been enjoying the process and it actually gets more interesting and confidence boosting over time. Have a blast and be creative using a safe secure network of like minded people. 5 stars in my book 🤩
