### 4/5 — Fix ui please

*2026-07-20, version 1.5.2*

Apparently I do I have like dark ui so when I want to change the insterment I have to go on light mode to use it also I’m using it on a iPhone 8 plus

### 4/5 — About Soundfonts

*2022-09-07, version 1.5.2*

Is this app compatibles with soundfonts?

### 4/5 — Why

*2022-07-20, version 1.5.2*

Can’t I see any instruments on the instrument select screen

### 4/5 — 楽器の練習用には充分です

*2022-07-06, version 1.5.2*

色々なMIDI Player 試しましたが
多分これが今のところ1番です。
楽器のパート毎の演奏が分かるのでアンサンブルで演奏する時用に使っています。

### 4/5 — Lots of room for improvement

*2020-01-05, version 1.5*

This app can play a lot of files through its Bluetooth connectivity and it isn’t difficult to make up playlists.
I had problems with occasionally crashing. Backup and then restore helps to avoid losing playlists and files.

### 3/5 — It’s OK

*2019-05-28, version 1.3.4*

It will play midi and Kar files sent from Safari directly. The sounds can be very good. 

If the files have a lot of instruments, the timing of playback gets messed up. If you play say 20 midi files in a row, the playing gets messed up. This is probably a memory leak in the programming. 

It could be better, such as exporting songs or individual tracks to files or other programs, or keeping track of where the midi files were downloaded from, or direct browsing of files on web, direct access to iPhone files, etc. File management is lacking. 

Also, some instruments are way out of tune.

Otherwise, I found it very useful, and you get what you pay for. The app os much appreciated. Thanks for making it.

### 3/5 — No loop..

*2019-03-11, version 1.3.4*

Unlike what is advertised, the looping function is not there, shame...

### 3/5 — Simple app, does the job.

*2018-12-30, version 1.3.4*

My goal was to load MIDI files and play them to a MIDI out device. Simple app, primitive UI, but does the job. My biggest beef is that it should have integration with iOS “Files”, and doesn’t. I’d downloaded a lot of MIDI files for use with GarageBand, and had to download them again into MidiOnStage’s data space to use them there.

### 5/5 — いい！very good!

*2016-04-08, version 1.2.1*

しっかりmidiファイルの音楽を楽しめます！無料でこのクオリティー…自分は結構オススメです！
今回のアップデートでバグ直りました！ありがとうございます！

### 4/5 — Useful tool

*2016-02-18, version 1.2*

Yes it is a little unclear as how to load MIDI files but once you've mastered the "open in" it immediately gives you a clear view of the tracks and instrument involved I that file. Excellent app, and it's a freebie at the moment.

A little more flexibility on folders would be good, for example to create sub-folders rather than a linear list of playlists.

But one of the features claimed I can't see... How to loop within a MIDI file...?
This would be good especially if it could support MIDI MARKERS... add this feature and it will be a truly reMARKABLE app.

Can I suggest an added feature, the ability to select files by external MIDI command and if MARKERS can be supported or also LOOP around the file markers, INTRO, VERSE, BRIDGE, CHORUS etc. (But finish playing the section before jumping).

### 1/5 — Impenetrable

*2024-02-11, version 1.5.2*

There are no obvious Help options, and after deleting the demo sample by mistake, without having played it, there is no obvious way to import a MIDI file. 

There is an option to import a playlist, but from where? And it's useless if you only want to import 1 file. Why can't we Copy and Paste a file into the app from Downloads?

The only useful options were to close the app, and then to delete it.

So, an undeserved 1 star. It really needs 0 stars.

### 1/5 — 使えなくなりました

*2023-03-29, version 1.5.2*

すぐに落ちて使えなくなりました

### 1/5 — 頻繁にフリーズします。

*2021-05-29, version 1.5.2*

ピアノのレッスン時にピアノランドのデータを再生するのに使っていますが、頻繁にフリーズし、しかも一度フリーズした箇所は再生し直しても必ずフリーズするので使い物になりません。ピアノランドが公式で推奨しているアプリですので修正してもらえると嬉しいです。

### 1/5 — 残念

*2020-09-22, version 1.5.1*

iOSアップデート後、再生できなくなりました。なんとか対応していただきたいです。

### 1/5 — MidiOnStage and iphone iOS 13

*2019-10-24, version 1.3.4*

It was working until I upgraded to iOS 13, now I can not put midi songs to it

### 1/5 — バグ

*2018-05-28, version 1.3.4*

1度目アプリを立ちあげて聞く分には再生されますが、時間を開けて再生しようとしても再生されません。アプリを閉じても変わりません。その度アンインストールをして再度インストールしなくてはいけない状況です。対応お願いします。

### 1/5 — John

*2015-11-07, version 1.2*

Paid and downloaded the app. When I tried to import my midi files to my iPad it appears that you cannot import midi files to an iPad......a waste of money unless someone can tell me where I am going wrong

### 2/5 — Crashes when adding/playing certain midi files

*2019-12-23, version 1.5*

Was using a “lite” app (different developer) trying to decide whether or not to purchase the full version.
Found this app which played midi and connected to my Bluetooth midi device (baby grand disclavier).  It worked great for some files, but crashed the app repeatedly for others.
The app from the other developer never choked on any of these same files, so I’m positive that the files are not corrupted.
Bummer.  I just wanted to make playlists and listen to my piano play itself without having to purchase a “special” app.

### 2/5 — instruments refuse to show and work

*2019-12-19, version 1.5*

what do i do ?? please fix

### 3/5 — よかったのですが…

*2022-07-12, version 1.5.2*

とても使いやすくて愛用していたのですが、アプリが開けなくなりました。再起動も効果なし、何度押しても閉じてしまいます。
どうにかなりませんか？

### 5/5 — Ótimo player para midi

### 5/5 — MIDI

*2025-05-20, version 1.5.2*

Great app, highly recommended

### 5/5 — Brilliant Midi Player

*2023-06-04, version 1.5.2*

Have been using this app for a few years now, absolutely brilliant, very simple to use compared to all the other complicated ones. Erwin🙏 please bring another similar one out with more features.

### 5/5 — Cameron

*2021-02-04, version 1.5.2*

Did not work on ios 14. Has since been repaired and works brilliantly . Great app

### 5/5 — Bugs

*2020-11-12, version 1.5.1*

Após iOS 14 o app não funciona bem talvez precise de atualização. Minha sugestão é quê executem melhorias e cobrem algum valor para que compense-se pelo trabalho da equipe responsável pelo app. Obs. Seria lamentável um app tão bom e produtivo cair em desuso por não acompanhar as atualizações do sistema operacional iOS .

After iOS 14 the app does not work well you may need an update.  My suggestion is that they make improvements and charge some amount to make up for the work of the team responsible for the app.  Obs. It would be unfortunate for such a good and productive app to fall into disuse because it does not keep up with the iOS operating system updates.

### 5/5 — Perfectly recreates Windows Soundfont!

*2020-10-24, version 1.5.1*

Best app to use if you want an authentic Windows MIDI experience.

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2018-07-07, version 1.3.4*

GoogleDriveからも読み込めるので素晴らしい。楽器が表示されるのも👍

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-05-19, version 1.3.4*

This App is perfect for everything I use it for, I highly recommend it

### 5/5 — like it!

*2018-04-09, version 1.3*

midi out is nice addition.... could use a looping function on play transport for practising playing against compositions!

How about midi file export per track too ..be a handy feature!

### 5/5 — 素晴らしいmidi再生アプリ

*2017-05-27, version 1.2.2*

パソコンで軽く耳コピや作曲をしていて、スマホでも聞けたらな、と以前から探し続けていました。いくつか試した中でこのアプリが1番良かったです。
プレイリストの管理、音源の音色、トラックごとに音源を変えたりミュートしたりできる機能、バックグラウンド機能、
どれも申し分ないレベルの機能が勢揃いでした。

もし私のようにスマホでmidi音源を楽しみたくてなかなか良いアプリが見つからない方、是非お試しください。ほんとうに良いアプリです！
