Great long supported chiptune player

A wonderful chiptune player that has been supported for a very long time.

mod player issue

If you want to play vintage computer/console music in original formats and have projectM visualisation on top, look no further. Pure dope.

Current issues for now

The ftm playback for more than 60hz songs doesn’t sync up correctly and doesn’t play at the correct speed.

infinite entertainment

Will keep an eye and ear to the updates!
Modizer is just a unique emulator of entertainment console

Best mod player app I’ve tried!

Would be nice if you could loop a song seamlessly without it buffering/reloading each time. Maybe to be able to view and loop sections as well. But I’m loving this app - thanks so much!

For SID emulation

Can there be an option to change the filter curve of the SID 6581 and 8680? [0-1, 0.5 being the default for each]

Bug report

Playing a song in infinite mode ( main theme /FF4) plays for about 40 minutes then end the song and plays in normal length (2.5 times irrc) on repeat.

Decent but...

Could use integration with Google Drive

Otherwise perfect

Greatness

Definitely my favourite app on the store, lots of options and runs pretty stable and smooth. Highly recommended!

Performance issues on older iPads

The best mid player, but there are some performance issues on older iOads that were nit present before versions 4.2 & 4.3.

Latest update has rendered Modizer useless

The most recent update has caused most of the UI to disappear so I no longer have access to online content like Modland or HVSC, can’t change any settings and can only play locally stored files. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling several times to no avail. So this went from a 5 star app to 0 stars as it is essentially bricked, with no way to restore anything.

Good, but has issues

Updating in 2026: I spent the past year carefully curating playlists from each and every console system, arcades, and home computers. I fly a lot and would work on my playlists on every flight. I’ve probably spent 50+ hours on them… this latest update wiped out all my playlists. They’re still there but they’re all empty now. Absolutely frustrated beyond belief right now. 🤬

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.

**Original review below**
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.

10 stelle

Raramente ho messo 5 stelle ad un app. Questa ne meriterebbe almeno 10!!!

Best mod player by far

Plays the greats, counts the plays, updates the play count on databases, visualisers, lots of options for aliasing, panning etc. It’s the shiznit.

The best player in the known universe

Over years, I got an good amount of Demo Scene music in an ton of different formats. No issue at the PC, XMP is the tool to use. However, to play the music with my iPhone, wherever I go, Modizer is the all in one machine.

I recommend everyone who like Modizer, to support that good work with a donation.

Best. Investment. Ever. ♥️ 👾

Retro game music rocks. This app lets you enjoy most of it with a nice UI and download capabilities. Highly recommended!

Nice, but...

My playlist doesn't refresh after deleting many songs via iPhone's iOS v18.7.2's Files app.

Best Player

The player exceeded my expectations and I'm very satisfied!
However, it's a shame that the header information and UI aren't localized into Japanese...

Great for use on iPhone but issues remain

Well worth picking up, just wish it would play the next song instead of forcing you to select tracks manually. Also would love to see APE support at some point, for now I use Foobar2k. A couple other unsupported formats I’ve found on JoshW are TAD, TAK, and WIC. Thx again for an amazing app!

Really good retro game music player!

Great retro game player. I recommend it!
