### 5/5 — Does what it says, and well!

*2017-02-02, version 1.2*

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Useful, straightforward, much appreciated...

*2017-01-27, version 1.2*

This is a useful app which is attractive in its simplicity.
It displays the MIDI data from any chosen source, and offers a great many filtering options.
The very responsive and capable developer has already updated the app impressively, particularly so that it now can capture MIDI data when running in the background. I believe it's the only free app which can do this, and it does it very well.

### 4/5 — Very useful for testing.

*2024-12-11, version 1.4*

It is good, but i have a request. can it get dark mode?

### 4/5 — Affichage message sysex limité en caractères

*2023-03-17, version 1.4*

L’affichage d’un message sysex est limité à 9 caractères et donc impossible de voir un message  supérieur à cette limitation 
Dommage mais application utile quand même !!!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed

*2025-08-23*

This is exactly the app I need to troubleshoot midi outputs of audio equipment. I am using a USB Mio plugged into my iPhone. It is simple and effective.

### 5/5 — Great free tool

*2024-08-13*

Super useful for debugging midi devices.  The only thing I could really want is if column headings stayed at the top of the page when live data was scrolling. But I can memorize 3 columns. Thanks for the great app!

### 5/5 — Does what it should!

*2024-04-24*

This works great for verifying the messages coming from my various Bluetooth controllers.  Simple and easy to set up, and the data is presented in a format that a relatively unskilled user like me can understand.  Excellent!

### 5/5 — Works great for me

*2022-11-19*

Has been a very helpful app. Thank you for making it.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful tool for hunting down MIDI problems

*2021-12-14*

Great app.

### 5/5 — Better than several other equivalent tools...and it is free !!!

*2020-12-03*

This app works wonderfully and has even more functionalities than a few other tools that pretend to do the similar MIDI monitoring but you have to buy them. I would only suggest an additional filter to be able to sort out events by CC number.

**Developer response:** Version 1.6 now has the ability to filter by CC number

### 5/5 — Works better that other midi monitors

*2019-10-26, version 1.4*

Works better that other midi monitors

### 5/5 — Solved setup difficulties

*2019-03-20, version 1.3*

I have found this app to be extremely useful when setting up an instrument. Instead of hoping for the best it clearly shows MIDI information being received confirming if the instrument is working or not.

This is a great app for tracking down midi problems.

Very useful for musicians and developers.

### 5/5 — Trouble Shoot MIDI Setups

*2017-02-03*

This is a great tool to see what's happening in your MIDI setup and this update really enhances this ability.
