  • Good app! Just keeps on wasting my battery.

    When I switched from PureModPlay to Modizer, it felt like a whole new world; oscilloscope views, pattern views, many visualizers, lots of files supported, etc… I’d give the app 5 stars, if it weren’t for the battery problem.
    Every night I put my phone down, I would sleep, and then this app would get stuck on a song. I don’t know why this is happening but now, I have to deduct 2 stars. Maybe if this is fixed, I will give it 5 stars.

    hi, please contact the support using the link in the app and share more details about the files triggering some issues so that I can check & fix it.
  • Plays basically every retro game and computer music

    This app can play almost every obscure format I’ve thrown at it, even old “custom” Amiga sound files using UADE.

    Also, thanks a lot for bringing the “List all ordered by path” mode back in the library, I missed this being the default behaviour.
  • Search problem

    Search function doesn’t appear to be working the way it once did. I used to be able to search for, say, “protracker” on Modland to specify I wanted songs from that folder followed by further criteria like song name / artist and get results but now I get nothing. I’m not sure what’s changed but I hope it’s temporary as this is much less flexible.

    Hi, I've introduced regexp to have more possibilities in the search patterns. I think if you just replace ' ' (space) with '*' (asterisk) it should work, like in 'protracker*samurai' instead of 'protracker samurai'. Also please ensure 'simplified regexp' is activated in the settings/global screen.
  • Good, but has issues

    Updating review in 2024: the developer is actively supporting and updating the app again, and has made quite a few improvements and fixes, including fixing the crashes that were previously happening. They’re also adding some experimental new features like automatic silence detection which is helpful for some game music formats that don’t contain song length data. This is easily the best vgm player in the app store and worth a few bucks.

    Overall probably the best mod/vgm player on the app store. It plays custom formats (amiga, arcade, genesis, etc) very accurately and supports a huge number of formats. The ability to download your favorite music from inside the app is fantastic. I also really like that you can easily view information stored in the custom formats, for example HVSC notes. But now for the bad news… Unfortunately, there are two pretty big issues: 1) trying to download from some integrated menus like vgmrips causes an instant app crash 100% of the time, and it’s been this way for months, which means I’m stuck with whatever songs I’ve already downloaded before this bug was introduced. Being unable to download new music on a music app seems like it should be a high priority to fix. 2) navigating through your music library and playlists is really confusing, it’s easy to get lost and hard to find the music you want sometimes. I’m not a user interface designer so I have no suggestions on how to fix it, I just know that it’s not very intuitive. Our choices for custom format game music playback on mobile devices is incredibly limited, and so this is probably your best option. Just know beforehand that there are going to be some rather large annoyances while using it.

  • Endgame MOD player

    I've had this app so long I had to check whether I even bought it or it was free... Pretty sure I used to run it on my iPhone 3GS if not my iPod Touch? And I keep seeing regular updates when I already have no complaints. Currently it even links you into some leading archives of music for it, though it can be hard to get through the integrations at times. Still, I can't recommend it enough! This app and developer truly owe me nothing at this point. It's clearly a labour of love

    Hi, thanks for the feedback. Indeed the first version was running on Iphone 3GS (my first one :) ) more than 10years ago. Toucharcade did a nice review back in October 2010...
  • Something's is wonky with the favorites list😅🙏

    When playing songs in favorites, it eventually gets 'stuck' and decides to start playing songs from an entire album, songs not in the favorites. It'll be cycling thru all my songs, then say when a song I selected as a favorite from Super Mario Bros for SNES comes on, it'll begin to play the entire Super Mario Bros soundtrack, even though I didn't select the rest of the songs.

    REALLY APPRECIATE THAT THIS APP IS STILL BEING TAKEN CARE OF! THANK YOU!!😅🙏♾

  • Viewing playlist crashes app

    Not sure if reinstalling the app fixes this. Not inclined to try at the moment

    Developer Response

    Hi, it should be ok from v3.7. If not please send a support request with more details.
  • Great app!

    Still seeing some support! Updates are appreciated! One thing though, my favorites playlist, when playing tracks it doesn't play thru all of them. It only plays the songs of the album of that song that's currently playing, even if you didn't have the rest of the album in your favorites. It won't go to the next track in the favorite playlist. Hope this can be fixed🙏😭♾ Thank You for an amazing app and for Your hard work.

  • Fantastic!

    Absolutely excellent multi-format player, and with the recent SID player update, SIDs now sound absolutely perfect. Plays just about everything under the sun, including formats you didn’t even know existed. The built in links to Modland and HVSC, among others, is great for finding the tracks you love.

  • Great player, recent update bugged key feature

    I love this player, its my default means for listening to VGM. However, the recent update bugged FLAC playback. Most of my library consists of FLAC, and the JoshW SegaCD Archive also mostly consists of FLAC. If this could be patched soon, that’d be really great!

    Hi, thanks for the feedback, this issue is now fixed.
