### 5/5 — Absolutely essential for Amiga tracker music enthusiasts

*2025-09-28, version 2.17*

Just brilliant for bringing back the 80’s / 90’s tracker vibe! Smooth sample imports and compatibility with Protracker make this a must for anyone with even a passing interest in tracker-based music making. Who would have believed 30 years ago that you could have this kind of power in your pocket! Huge respect to the author for the time and attention to detail building this app❤️
For the next release I would love to see the sample ‘reverse button’ in the app- and ability to add length to samples, as found on the orig Protracker. All in all though, there aren’t enough stars to do this app justice :-)

### 5/5 — gut

*2025-08-04, version 2.17*

really great app! the only downside for me is that it does not have an external start/stop sync so i cant use it with Loopy pro and other apps that use interapp synchronisation. That small feature would really help!

### 5/5 — Fun and useful

*2025-07-12, version 2.17*

Great old school tracker and a must have also if you own a Volca Sample. Kudos to the developer.

### 4/5 — Good but 1 big issue

*2024-11-21*

I believe this software has potential, but the thing holding it back is how limited the keyboard is.

Giving it at least 3 or 4 octaves can help make the software feel less limiting, and make it better to use.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. The limitation of the keyboard is unfortunately inherent in the Amiga mod music format. Protracker for the Amiga has the same limitation.

A future version will add support for the xm format (FastTracker 2), which has more octaves and up to 32 tracks in one pattern.

### 2/5 — Can not find VividTracker site

*2024-07-19, version 2.11*

Hi I can not find user manual information because I can not access the vivid tracker site showing because of unsafe site. Could you tell me why VividTracker.com is treated an unsafe site?

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2024-02-14, version 2.11*

Macht Spaß! Bug mit Toggle Edit…alt+Space bitte korrigieren.

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2024-02-10, version 2.11*

Best music tracker i have ever come access.I have used manny,renoise,madtracker,skale,opnmpt,octamed.This beats them all,especially if you’re an old school producer like me.

### 5/5 — Trackers forever!

*2023-09-28*

And this one brings honor to the tradition.  Great fun and powerful too.

Please add the functionality to draw custom sample waveforms!

**Developer response:** Sounds like a great idea! I will look into it. 😀

### 5/5 — wonderful

*2023-09-25*

Trackers forever
And this one is top tier.  

Feature request: I wish I could draw my own waveforms..

**Developer response:** Sounds like a great idea! I will look into it. 😀

### 5/5 — Trackers are different!

*2023-09-23*

I’ve used about every DAW out there but sometimes you just want to go old school. I had an Amiga 2000 and Octamed back in the day and having VT on my iPad certainly scratches the itch to make music tracker style. I have seen no bugs or issues with it. It works exactly as I expect and it sounds great! Who knew I’d be making MODs 30+ years later!
