Latest reviews

Jayson Gatmen 2023-09-27: This app does not launch when I click on launch app. I am using a Lenovo U410.
Don Vercetti 2022-12-27: Opened this thing after Installing it and It said "No Longer Supported", Fantastic.
First Name 2021-11-08: The playback quality of the MIDI sequence was extremely poor, even compared to a more modern Windows Sound Card. It cannot hold up to any other MIDI player, and the percussion track is automatically assigned to Piano, despite being assigned to as a Drum Kit.
mr.beatboxer 757 2021-08-24: just a literal white box. how do i uninstall? there must be a button
Samuel's smart edits 2021-02-02: Works.
AnJelic 2020-08-05: I have a BRAND NEW chromebook and this app won't even launch
Idea Hamster 2019-12-30: Application simply does not work. Double clicking on a local midi file opens a blank white window, no audio. Dragging and dropping a local midi file seems to do nothing. Uninstalled and reinstalled, same behaivor. Checked the support comments and this seems to be a common problem, dating back several years. As near as I can tell, this project has been abandoned. Contacted the developer, if anything changes, will update this review.
James Ricketts 2019-05-07: IT SUKS. DOESN'T WORK NEVER DOES.IF I COULD RATE IT 0 STARS, I WOULD.
Anonymous 2019-03-22: Not working -- downloaded but comes up as a blank rectangle on a new Pixelbook.
First Baptist Church Brownsdale 2019-03-08: App opens to a blank dialogue box, no controls other than minimize, maximize and close. This app has proved worthless.
Anonymous 2019-03-02: Didn't even get past a blank window
Spencer Churchill 2019-02-11: this app doesnt load or play midi files
Ryan “Donnyron” Paul 2019-01-27: It was alright... at first. When I first got it all my midis worked well with some minor issues (Sustaining notes, Lag, etc) but it was free so I didn't mind too much. Now when I try to play midis NOTHING HAPPENS the app doesn't open and just hangs on a blank window!
charles fia 2018-12-07: Doesn't work, just white blank screen. Needs fixing in Chrome.
Terry Canaan 2018-08-31: Doesn't work. Just a blank, white page.
Patrice Louison 2018-07-15: Opens a white window and does nothing : please remove from store...
SonoFelice 2018-07-05: Blank.
Kenn Hamm 2018-06-26: Doesn't work. Blank screen as other reviews say. Probably needs to be updated.
Bob Colby 2018-05-29: This app does not function. Multiple attempts to install wind up at the same place. Try to launch the app and all you get is a blank white box. Glowing reviews about this app mean nothing if we can never get it to run to try it for ourselves. Something is broken and from the support comment timestamps no one has looked into fixing it for a very long time. One star.
Yumi Kawakami 2018-05-24: i't dose not load it's just a white screen
Heather Morgan 2018-05-15: why won't anything come up?
Kai W 2018-05-13: Very good note player
Rich “Sundry” Pascual 2018-05-04: Doesn't work. Why is this still in the store? Tried installing it twice and the app would not start up to play my midi file.
Bobbie Wilson 2018-04-06: I Love This .
Latasha Williamson 2018-03-22: I can't even play my midi! It's just a white screen!
Joël Langlois 2017-09-15: This is pretty garbage: it's using some kind of half-baked SoundFont with no drums (?), and its playback glitches constantly. Not only that, its MIDI format support is extremely weak: lack of CC message support, for example. FYI, ignore the 4 star reviews below, as people apparently don't understand how reviews work.
Craig 2017-08-18: Wouldn't play all my old Midis. Took a while loading instruments. The app is nearly 100 MB to install. --Craig
Bill le 2017-07-14: does not even open
Jordan 2017-07-10: This app doesn't work. I tried to open a simple midi file for a project but it crashed three times and crashed my webpages.
Moss 2017-03-25: It did what it was supposed to... but it sounded a bit different compared to how it would play on windows. Tested the same file side by side on my windows computer and on my chromebook. It's not bad, just different.
SimplyVibinn 2017-03-16: So it did what it was supposed to do, but I wish you could observe the piano playing the notes (similar to synthesia). Now the app is pretty much useless to me...
Alex Rock 2017-02-09: Very serviceable player for basic midi files. Best I've found for my chromebook so far. Doesn't assign drums properly (channel 10 should be drums, it assigns piano or something weird instead). Sometimes skews notes.
Dave Conway 2017-01-13: Does what it says on the tin: plays MIDI files. There's a lot of skipping compared to when I play them in Ubuntu on my Chromebook, but it lets me have a quick listen without having to switch over, so it works for me.
Dylan Thompson 2016-12-15: Doesn't correctly handle volumes of different tracks.
Tanyn Sansom 2016-11-03: Plays black midi files as good as any windows 3.1 pc (it doesn't)
Bridget Faris 2016-09-24: loads small midi file: glitches at random loads large midi file: wat
Alexander Pal 2016-06-08: Seems to work wonderfully. You did a great job!
Tracy Chain 2016-05-28: Excellent,quick install and does exactly what is supposed to. I use it to preview hymn midi files provided on Hymnary.org, so this is elegant, quick and simple for that use.
Roblin Felber 2016-04-23: just works simple
Galactic Populators 2016-03-22: The bar is not set very high for Chromebook apps. MIDI Player works, doesn't crash, doesn't wreck any of my data, and apparently is currently the only app available for Chromebook which plays MIDI.
Sue Lewis 2016-03-14: Appears to work on the downloaded MIDI files I have on my Chromebook. Great - but will not play these files when online - you must download them first.
Gallium 2016-03-03: It isn't working for me...
Anonymous 2015-12-07: For most files, this works fine, but pitch bend doesn't work at all. I got this specifically so I could preview wikipedia's microtonal midi examples, so that's kind of a massive problem for me
Fabian F 2015-10-08: It works but I wish you could change the soundfonts. The ones it uses sound pretty horrible. Also, tried it on a chromebook and there were skips in playback. Also, it doesn't seem to cache the instruments, so you have to keep downloading them.
Adrià Vilanova Martínez 2015-07-01: This extension is awesome and very useful! Also, great use of Material Design ;-)
floony floon 2015-06-26: simple and works :) edit: sometimes screws up the music so only 3 stars :p
Anonymous 2015-06-17: It is a simple, easy and stable MIDI player. I will give 5 stars if RMI support is added.
David Voy 2015-05-13: Didnt seem to play my .midi file very good.
Charlie 2015-03-16: Fantastic, and great to see more Polymer design!
J 2015-03-11: cant get it to work
