### 3/5 — うーん

*2024-07-27*

開いた瞬間105件の曲がファイルに入ります。
再生アプリとしては優秀ですが、アプリを入れている限りずっと残っているので泣く泣くアンスト

### 5/5 — Just right

*2023-02-26*

A very competent MIDI player. It works perfectly for what I need, and I can quickly and easily play any MIDI file on my device, and to just works. Really nice to have this be free.

### 5/5 — So far the best free midi file player

*2022-06-06*

So far, because it can shuffle-play all those *.mid files in its own file folder, or repeat-play one single file, but still can't loop-play all the files one by one in the filename order.

### 2/5 — Not user friendly

*2021-04-22*

I can’t choose midi from my list to play them

### 5/5 — Thank you so very very much

*2020-11-13*

over the years I have created and collected about 400 midi files which I have not accessed in quite a few years.
I actually forgot about them for the most part but due to the pandemic have been spending more time with my music and although all of these preceded my iPad era… They are now back in my music making and music sharing. I can’t thank you enough👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

### 4/5 — Some MIDI’s don’t play well

*2020-10-19*

This app was good but it doesn’t play some of my complex MIDI’s correctly like the Pokemon FireRed LeafGreen Trainer Battle midi for example it doesn’t detect the pitch bend ranges correctly.

### 5/5 — MIDIファイルを再生するだけなら十分

*2020-10-18*

他のアプリはドラムが再生できないとかありますが、コレはフルで再生できますし出ない音と
かも無いので再生するだけなら十分でしょう。

というかそれ以外の事は何も出来ないです。逆にシンプルで良いんですけどね。
あと色んな曲が入っています。どれもmidiらしさ？があって良い感じです。

### 5/5 — Just What I needed

*2020-04-12*

Love this app. I have a lot of midi files on my iPhone that came with various music books and music courses that I have not been able to easily access. This app solves the problem. I just open the app, browse my iPhone files, pick the midi file I want and vóila - it plays. Couldn’t be happier.

### 5/5 — Works great, and works well

*2020-02-21*

Great for playing midi files from the internet.
Simple to use, sounds great.
