### 4/5 — Very useful app

*2024-12-07*

Straightforward Midi recorder.

Several apps will record directly to it but others seem to need AUM.
Those that do work require no set up or fiddling around.

Midi can then be imported into GarageBand or Dorico

### 4/5 — Great, simple tool that captures MIDI at a high time resolution

*2024-05-12*

This app concept is very simple and performs one task pretty well. Afaik, it's the only dedicated recorder tool like this for iOS and MacOS, which supports the full 16 channels of MIDI. 

I have noticed some issues with lost notes and incorrectly placed note-off events. Not sure why this is, but it is a repeatable issue I've encountered. In my application, I am often sending a large amount of multi-channel MIDI data at once, but unsure if this is the reason.

However, if you use Ableton Live and need a multi-channel MIDI file that runs close to the actual internal clock of Live, rather than the weak 96ppqn, single-channel export option it provides, this might be the only option, short of recording it into another DAW.

If there were a paid version of MIDI Rec, it would be an instant purchase for me with the addition of the following features—

-Type 1 MIDI file export 
-Recording tempo selection
-External MIDI clock-sync 
-Recording triggered by MIDI start message  

Less critical, but very welcome would be a native MacOS UI version. ;)

### 5/5 — Simple, accessible midi recorder

*2024-01-14*

This app is almost exactly what I was looking for. I am blind, and use the voiceover screen reader to access my phone. All of the buttons seem to be well labeled and it is simple to operate. I really appreciate the fact that it was free. there are a couple of features that I would pay for. The first one being a metronome. Also, it might be nice to have two tracks and the ability to combine them. Mostly the metronome is what I want though. I appreciate that there aren’t a lot of features though, as it makes it really simple to just click record and play my keyboard. Thanks for making an awesome app.

### 5/5 — Super great app!

*2023-10-17*

Super great app! Works flawlessly with my Casio WK-6600 midi keyboard! Recording works, I can control midi inputs and outputs, even the piano plays the recording from my device even when my devices volume is off but my pianos is on. I just have to press play on my device and watch the magic happen! Great job!

### 5/5 — Perfect for Organ recordings!

*2023-09-21*

This app is perfect to use as a MIDI sequencer for organs! But… please, please, PLEASE add a playlist feature that could play multiple files in a row!!

### 5/5 — 作曲メモに最適

*2023-09-18*

こんなアプリを探していました。色々検索していてなかなか見つからなかったのですが、Bingの AI検索で「MIDIレコーディングできるピアノアプリ」と検索して見つけました。
iCloudに保存できるのもニーズにピッタリでしたし、iPhoneを横にしたら鍵盤も横に広がるので安心しました。
作っていただいたこと心より感謝します！！

### 5/5 — Nice and practical

*2023-05-03*

This is by far the fastest most practical way to record a midi chord progression or idea on the fly on the IPAD …love this app!

### 5/5 — ヤマハピアノプレーヤーを使って録音・再生

*2023-02-11*

ピアノプレーヤーを使って、iPadで操作したり録音も出来るという素晴らしいアプリです。 操作方法につきましても丁寧に対応して下さりありがとうございました！

### 5/5 — Great app for piano recording

*2023-01-03*

I’m using it to record my piano improvisations  with a simple and easy setup :
- BLE link from Clavinova MIDI OUT to my iPhone
- This app to record, then export the MIDI file

Perfect !

And a big thank you to the developer for his very kind help.

### 5/5 — Surprisingly pleased!

*2022-10-26*

I’ve been looking for a MIDI recorder for iOS for a while, but I avoided trying this one because of the low amount of reviews. Eventually I ran out of other options and downloaded this app. I’m surprised - and relieved - to say that it works very well! I’m only using it to record MIDI files on my keyboard, but for that feature alone this app has earned my 5-star rating!

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2022-10-18*

Works fine with any midi controller.

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting. The issue has been fixed. Could you update it?

### 1/5 — Share

*2024-08-03*

When opening the file in another app, the opening app doesn’t play the file.

**Developer response:** The file is not an audio file.
Please confirm that the opening app actually supports Standard MIDI File Format 0.

### 1/5 — No results

*2024-02-12*

3 time used, no data recorded using my Steinberg UR 242, every thing says linked & checked.  Can’t see any instructions although looks straight forward to use, just did’nt record.  Trying to recover midi from my mums piano she played and recorded on Floppy disc as she has just passed before it is lost for good.

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2023-11-29*

2.0.12にアップデートすると起動時クラッシュして立ち上がらない。

**Developer response:** バージョン2.0.13未満で、iOS12にて再生時にクラッシュする事象を確認できました。この不具合は2.0.13で修正済ですが、2.0.14でさらにクラッシュしにくくなっていますので、アップデートをお願いします。
もし解決できない場合、恐れ入りますが、設定アプリの「プライバシーとセキュリティ」「解析と改善」より、「解析を共有」及び「アプリデベロッパと共有」を有効にして、クラッシュレポートを共有していただけないでしょうか。
もしくは、「解析データ」より、当該アプリのクラッシュデータを下記のメールアドレスまで送っていただけると、解決の助けになります。
よろしくお願いいたします。

### 2/5 — Problem with the files.

*2020-05-11*

Why does it keep saying corrupted file when I download to Mac and try to covert it to mp3?

**Developer response:** Thanks for reviewing. This app doesn't record sounds but record MIDI signals. You should use a MIDI-to-wave converter at first though the generated sound is different from the original one.

### 3/5 — NEEDS THIS

*2025-02-16*

Nice little app but for the love of all that is good , please .please let us re-size the keyboard so we can se all the notes being played back at once without scrolling . I need to resource to another app to do this 

Now if you want to get some serious money for your app , add selectable  section loop and when pausing allow the notes / keys to stay highlighted on what’s being played !

### 3/5 — Import files please

*2022-10-06*

Please add an import button to import external midi files, which can then be played out of the app.

### 3/5 — Works well when it works

*2021-12-21*

Does fine, but after a while the new recordings that I am making come out jumbled. Simultaneous scales are not synced in the file. Also, what do CC, SYSEX and OTHER buttons do?

### 3/5 — Learning curve to use

*2021-12-07*

I’ve recorded a couple of songs. I can’t figure out how to play them back now. When I press on the file, it just starts recording more. I’m very confused right now. Also, I can’t figure out how to turn off the sound coming from the app so that I only hear my piano. I don’t see the option to do so in the settings.

### 4/5 — 横画面固定したい

*2025-09-06*

軽くて最高！
起動時に横画面で固定できるようにしてほしいです

### 4/5 — AMAZING GAME BUT YOU HAVE TO READ THIS

*2025-08-06*

First of all, midi recorder is a great app and you can make music with it! But as well as an E.piano mabye you could add some more sounds, like, A piano, A synthesiser or some more E. Piano sounds. Btw I played e.piano so many times, I played guitar and xhylophone to, mabye you could add those presets aswell? If you disagree with my point, it’s fine. But if you could add some more sounds, voices, tones, presets… (they all mean the same thing do they) that would be appreciated! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Marcelo

*2026-08-06*

The app is very cool! It has been working fine but after latest updates (iOS or app) when I record multiple MIDI channels it is not recording the exactly timing and the reproduction turns it horrible.

### 5/5 — Hidden gem for sync

*2026-08-03*

For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how to sync my rd-78  drum machine and my Juno 60 with an arpsync usb. They both have USB but how to sync the arpeggio to the drum machine? I turned this on after trying a $20 app and it worked!

### 5/5 — Works Well

*2026-06-16*

I have been using this app to record pipe organ MIDI data for playback. I have been using a Yamaha Bluetooth MIDI adapter and it’s been very convenient. I also use a Yamaha MDF3 to do the same and it made me realize there is one feature I would really like to see in this app. The MDF3 allows the device to start recording as soon as it sees MIDI data of any kind, this makes it much easier recording performances as I don’t need to predict when the organist will start, please consider implementing this as a feature in a future revision please!

### 5/5 — 縦画面ピアノを探していました

*2026-04-11*

ピアノアプリ、起動する度に横画面にするのが億劫で、縦画面のものを探していました。軽いしすこぐ良いです！！

### 5/5 — GIANT PEOPLE MUSIC PUBLISHING

*2025-09-27, version 2.0.19*

I   Hv Vs and the kids are going to have a good time

### 5/5 — Easy to use and incredibly versatile

*2025-09-15*

This app does everything you need right out of the box. I am able to play midi files easily now.

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2025-07-20*

Удобно записывать мелодии, и легко получить доступ к MIDI. Скачивайте, хорошее приложение, даже Perfect Piano, идеально. 😍 🤩  Спасибо разработчикам!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2025-05-28*

This is the most straightforward and no-nonsense app for midi that I’ve come across. I recently got a Bluetooth keyboard, and this is the only app that works with it. I really have no complaints.

### 5/5 — Good takes no space on my iPad

*2024-09-05, version 2.0.16*

I think that this is going to work for me but I don’t know yet.oh and also it take up 2MB THAT IS INSANE.

### 5/5 — super useful just a few suggestions

*2024-04-08*

A super useful app I recommend. 

It would be even better with 
- a built in metronome! 
- the ability for record to start when the first Midi note is played (to avoid gaps/silences at the beginning of recordings
- Midi Capture feature (just like Ableton’s Capture that can remember the last played Midi - even if record wasn’t enabled 
- looping with overdub would take it to the next level (maybe another app). 

Please keep the split screen, it’s so useful with Midi apps.
