### 5/5 — Awesome piano midi

*2023-08-01*

Considering the price, this really does a great job emulating any midi file with a piano instrument. Granted, I'm not a musician.

### 1/5 — 100% useless

*2023-03-30*

The app crashes whenever I try to open the file I want to play.

### 3/5 — Some stuff needs to be fixed

*2022-02-05*

The piano sounds distorted and the MIDI fades before the end

**Developer response:** Hi Kristy, I appreciate your feedback. I'll work on addressing these issues for the next update.
