In-App finde ich keinen Button. **Developer response:** Settings In-App Purchase ### 3/5 — good but 1 problem *2025-10-05* i use this app all the time, it’s probably the best midi player for me on my iphone. i want to use it on my mac, but the problem is i cannot redownload this on my mac because the mac version is listed as a separate app than the ios version. so, if i wanted to use this on my mac id have to pay again to use it. which, i am not going to be doing. i use the trail version of this from the website instead on my mac. it’s annoying that i can’t hear the last quarter of a song just because the mac version is separate from the ios version. **Developer response:** The Mac version is a completely different software (as is the Windows version) and each platform requires a separate license. ### 4/5 — Fonction loupe *2025-06-14* Bonne appli mais je n’ai pas réussi à trouver comment définir une boucle pour répéter une section d’un morceau. Cette fonction est-elle implémentée ? **Developer response:** It's possible on iPad but not on iPhone. ### 4/5 — Best IOS Midi Player *2025-05-05* The App is still the best Midi Player for IOS. I just hope that the Devs can still upgrade the app, such as midi editing (program changes in GM2, GS, and XG), control changes such as velocity changes (not just volume), and a lot more. Please Devs im still patiently waiting for this updates. Thank You! ### 4/5 — Great app *2025-04-01* This MIDI player has many features that are helpful. I have thousands of MIDI files I’ve collected over the years which this app handles well. I’d like to see a multi rename functionality with search and replace. I really appreciate the app developer. I’d encourage you to keep developing this for advanced use. ### 2/5 — Pas de son *2024-11-16* J’ai acheté le logiciel , aux premiers essais pas de soucis , quelques temps après je n’ai plus de son , impossible de le retrouver . Le fournisseur me parle du bouton de volume et ne pas mettre la sortie « core midi » pour moi tout est ok , quid de la solution Merci ### 4/5 — the drums *2024-10-07* the drums don’t change fonts **Developer response:** You need to use a sound font that contains more than one drum kit. The default sound font contains one drum kit only. ### 4/5 — Best IOS Midi Player *2024-05-29* I wanted to say Thank You to the devs for constantly updating this app. There are still many Sequencer Bands that uses Midi Files for their performance (including me) and having this app on our mobile devices, we wont be hauling our laptops with just vanbasco on it. Now my suggestion, if the devs can put an Expression (CC11) dial that we can utilize? Most Midi Files are not balanced, and the option to tweak the Expression can adjust the loudness of each track. I noticed that some midi files have almost max volumes but still sounds softer compared to other tracks, and that mainly because of lowered Expression. An option to select voices from a GM2 or GS Instrument list, not just the common General Midi Instruments. Also, if the Devs can develop a Midi File Editor app (like cakewalk pro 9) which can do in depth editing on midi files, I would pay to have that. ### 4/5 — Best IOS Midi Player *2024-04-15* I wanted to say Thank You to the devs for constantly updating this app. There are still many Sequencer Bands that uses Midi Files for their performance (including me) and having this app on our mobile devices, we wont be hauling our laptops with just vanbasco on it.

Ich habe nur noch einen kleinen Wunsch, und zwar, wenn ich die VoiceOver Geste zum pausieren einer Datei ausführe, dann wird die MidiDatei sofort und abrupt beendet. Dagegen, wenn ich auf die Schaltfläche play Pause drücke, hört man immer noch einen kleinen Nachhall der Instrumente. Ich wünsche mir, dass dieser Nachhall auch bei der VoiceOver Geste zum pausieren auftritt und die Datei nicht sofort beendet wird. Es gab mal eine kurze Zeit, wo es funktionierte, aber im Moment leider nicht mehr. ### 5/5 — Please update for saving patch numbers! *2024-02-09* I have used Sweet MIDI Player to play MIDI files with exterior hardware synths for years. Can you please make it possible in an update to type in a patch number where the instruments are listed? Only having a list of software instruments makes it real tricky to deal with hardware knobs if you want to use a synth patch on a hardware synth. Would like to have a song playlist played on my hardware without making very clumsy sounding adjustments every time a song starts. Some synths have over 300 patches so it would be very useful to be able to save patch numbers on Sweet MIDI Player. Thank you ### 4/5 — Very useful *2023-10-09* Would love to see playback loop function added, for practice purposes. Perhaps the ability to create segment loops from a midi file. **Developer response:** There is a loop function in the iPad version but not in the iPhone version. ### 5/5 — Sweet midi *2023-09-13* Excellent midi app highly recommended **Developer response:** SMP -> Settings -> Player -> Save Options ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 残念ながら *2025-08-25* 2,500円払ったのに機種変更したら3/4しか聞けなくなった😰 **Developer response:** Settings In-App Purchase Restore ### 1/5 — 自分の曲が聴けない *2025-08-17* ファイルを使ってこちらのアプリで、再生しようとしたらファイルの読み込みに失敗しました。と出て、2500円払わされるところでした。 **Developer response:** "Failed to load file" means there is a problem with that particular MIDI file. ### 1/5 — Not available in my region *2025-07-12, version 4.9.3* Not available in my region ### 1/5 — Constant pop ups tricking you into paying a lot *2024-03-19* Constant pop ups that are easy to misclick and charge you a lot of money. **Developer response:** It's not easy to misclick. You will not be charged until you have confirmed twice that you want to upgrade to the full version. ### 1/5 — Impossible de changer le nom de fichier *2024-02-14* Ce qui donne des playlists anarchiques **Developer response:** Sweet MIDI Player - "All MIDI Files" view - Tap "Edit" button - Tap on a file in the list - Rename the file - OK ### 1/5 — A mistake to buy this app. *2023-02-22, version 4.8.1* I have a lot of problems synchronizing with internal sound module , all the instruments sound like piano, I do not recommend, this app, I’ve been working with midi files for many years but this is terrible, ### 1/5 — Won’t play full song and too expensive *2022-12-12, version 4.7.9* $15 just to play one file in its entirety? Really? Edit: I only needed to play one file, that’s why $15 is too much. ### 1/5 — Cannot buy full version *2022-04-22* This does not allow you to play the full midi file cuts off after 30 seconds **Developer response:** You need to purchase the app to play the complete file. ### 1/5 — Ne lit pas les fichiers en entier *2022-02-01* Du coup aucun intérêt pour moi. Restriction beaucoup trop forte de la version gratuite. **Developer response:** You can't get everything for free, sorry. ### 1/5 — Sweet Midi Player *2021-12-05, version 4.7.6* I Would My $14.99 Back Please ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best! *2026-05-13, version 4.9.7* Great software for live performance! ### 5/5 — 最高のMIDIプレーヤー *2026-02-16* このアプリが一番使いやすかったです。 要望なのですが仕様なのかわかりませんがミキサーで変更した内容を 共有する MIDIに反映して欲しいです。 ### 5/5 — 蓝牙问题 *2025-09-30* 最近连不上蓝牙 ### 5/5 — Génial *2025-02-11* Je n’ai pas encore trouvé mieux , il manquerait juste une fonction d’export en mode grille merci Roni😁 ### 5/5 — Great Program *2024-11-21* I love this software. So easy to use. So useful. One question: How do you change the sound font on an iPad. There are instructions for Mac and Windows, but I can’t find any for the iPad. Thanks again. ### 5/5 — BEST MIDI PLAYER!! *2024-10-09* I have taught piano for 35 years and have collected lots of great midi accompaniments for students to make learning more fun. I used. Clavinova but now only use an acoustic piano. I was able to put all the midi accompaniments from a flash drive onto my iPad and they load easily into this midi player. The sound quality is great and even better with a blue tooth speaker. The best feature is being able to slow down the tempo as students learn through the mixer which is super easy to use. THANK YOU for this amazing teaching tool. ### 5/5 — Great support *2024-08-18* Lots of features, very useful app, though some gems may be a bit hidden in the settings menu. But most of all: great support! Got my questions answered in no time. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Kauf *2024-08-11* Auf wie vielen Geräte ist die Lizenz gültig? ### 5/5 — Sweet MIDI Player *2024-06-25* I’ve used this player for over ten years, on an iPad, 3 to 5 nights a week. Not one failure or malfunction. Editing is a little clumsy but my midi editing equipment, makes up for it. It’s so easy and common sense in its operation. Glad I found this player first. The price is very affordable. R Webb ### 5/5 — Best MIDI player in the store *2024-05-04* I’m the developer of Melody Run and Beat Bounce games. These two games rely on midis and I occasionally need to edit files on my phone but couldn’t find any simple app to change volume, instrument etc quickly. This app does it very well and much more… Pros: - a good file system that you can import and manage multiple files. - easy and quickly accessible player - loooots of settings - import your own soundfont Cons: - it wasn’t clear how to import soundfont. I thought the import file was just for midis. If I were the developer, I would have separate “import midi”, “import soundfont” buttons in related places. - UI looks old. It’s probably developed more than 5 years ago - it’s not clear what in app purchase offers. There is no save button. When you have multiple midis, it automatically plays the next midi and previous changes are deleted. There should be a paywall screen shows the price, what IAP offers and when a file is saved, changes are deleted. - doesn’t export to mp3 file :( But overall, this exceeds my expectations! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
