### 1/5 — Broken on Latest iPhone

*2026-06-27*

(on iPhone 17pro max)
Opening the settings menu crashes the app. I want to use this to update my KO2 using my phone, but loading the TE update utility webpage crashes the app. 

I wish this worked so badly! Could be really cool.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2021-06-30*

API has changed, no longer works as expected :-(

### 1/5 — No longer working, needs updating

*2021-01-05*

This is a much needed app, but sadly no longer works in 2021.
If developer could fix it, I will give 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Does Not Work. At All.

*2019-10-18*

Web midi must have changed or something. This app will not give you access to web midi at all. 3 years old, this app is abandon-ware.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2018-12-30*

No matter how many times you try you can’t open anything

### 2/5 — It’s a start

*2025-06-11*

I was hoping to use EP-133 sample tool. It crashes however as soon as connected. Waiting for the fix and many thanks for trying

### 2/5 — A start.

*2016-10-04*

Not completely reliable, but at least it's a start, and that at least one developer is working on getting Web MIDI working. Now if only Chrome and Safari could follow and get this working reliably too!

### 3/5 — Really useful tool

*2022-01-09*

Needs work tho. Starting to crash when switching apps on latest iOS. Desperately needs a bugfix.

### 3/5 — Crashes with Apple Watch

*2019-01-11*

The app crashes whenever I press a button on my Apple Watch!
Please fix other than that it works fine

### 3/5 — Doesn't work with Novation Circuit

*2016-05-24*

It doesn't work with the Novation Circuit. Also seems to drain the battery a lot. It used almost 30% of the battery usage for the day, and rest was taken up by the lock screen and various music apps. I removed since it doesn't work for me.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-02-28*

Works to allow me to connect my MIDI for controllers to my iPad to use browser based configuration. 

World be nice if it had options like configuring a start page or bookmarks, but it works and I’m grateful there’s an iPad option.

### 5/5 — WebMidi works

*2022-06-03*

It auto connected to my external synth . Send and receive MIDI worked.

### 5/5 — It actually works

*2020-12-29*

Enable SysEx in settings and it work like a charm.  Updating a 16n works at least

### 5/5 — Thanks!

*2019-01-09*

Awesome idea! 
It’s insane that this is still not implemented on iOS, but is on every other browser.
Personally, I feel apple is intentionally holding back the web so it can get its 30% cut of apps in the App Store.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver!

*2018-11-09*

This is still the only way to use Web MIDI on iOS, and it’s very much appreciated! Thanks!

### 5/5 — Use MIDI Web Apps

*2015-11-30*

With this app, you can simple load in the link for a MIDI web app and it will then bring up the app which you can then use to run the apps on your iOS device. This works great, for example, there's a web app called iSEQTRIBE that allows you to control the MIDI clock on iElectribe and send it pitch data as a sequence so you can have a melody that accompanies your beats too. You can bookmark web apps from within MIDI Web Browser so you can easily recall them later.

### 5/5 — Very cool idea

*2015-01-12*

This is obviously in an early stage — but what a clever idea!  You can create a MIDI-enabled web page anywhere on the internet….  and then the page can play the synthesizers on your iOS device.  Kudos to the developer for thinking of this; a really nice idea.  I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes.

### 4/5 — Awesome!

*2021-05-29*

Perfect to use my old iPad to a midi controler 👍 I just miss an offline mode, to use it even without network 😕 Is it open-source? Thanks a lot for this application 🙇‍♂️

### 4/5 — 試してみたら...

*2016-12-26*

ちゃんとMidiデバイスが認識されました。(^^)
実はAudiotoolにアクセスしたくてこのブラウザをインストールしたのですが、Audiotoolはflashがブラウザにインストールされてないと使えないみたいなので
このブラウザにflashプラグインをインストールできれば良いのですが…
できるのかなぁ？...
とにかく、ipodでmidi機器が活用出来る楽しみが増えました。ありがとうございます！
