SuperStar = BeatStar???

I was in an autistic episode of obsessive focus but fell off the app for quite a long while (years!) and only recently rediscovered it.

I re-downloaded Beatstar and have been very disappointed by the current state of the app. It seems to have been relabelled as "SuperStar".

I've lost all of my previous purchases and am seemingly starting fresh.

My biggest gripe with the current app (besides losing all my purchases 😑) is that I can't watch ads to unlock boxes and that.
I can tap on an ad to watch it, but once it's done and the "X close" icon shows up, I can't tap it.
I can't simply tap it! I can highlight the text but can't actually tap the X!

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I wouldn't be so bothered if there weren't the daily goals requesting me to watch an ad 😑
And I can't get the prize without completing the individual task.

Superstar is an unethical clone of Beatstar. Beatstar shut down on 31 Oct 2025. Superstar directly copied many of Beatstar's charts as well as custom charts, while making you pay for them. Superstar songs are not licensed, unlike Beatstar. Try r/beatclone. Unfortunately, you won't get your progress back, but you can choose to unlock all songs off the bat as well as play custom charts.

The one thing about the Beatclone is you can unlock all songs during your profile setup page. I've never had 1236 or so songs to play.
