This app does not launch when I click on launch app. I am using a Lenovo U410.

Opened this thing after Installing it and It said "No Longer Supported", Fantastic.

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.

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.

App opens to a blank dialogue box, no controls other than minimize, maximize and close. This app has proved worthless.

Doesn't work. Blank screen as other reviews say. Probably needs to be updated.

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.

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.

I can't even play my midi! It's just a white screen!

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.

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.

This only works with files that are already on your computer. I want to be able to click on a link and *preview* the MIDI in a Chrome tab to see if I actually want to take the trouble of downloading it.

Wouldn't play all my old Midis. Took a while loading instruments. The app is nearly 100 MB to install. --Craig

Doesn't correctly handle volumes of different tracks.

It isn't working for me...

One needs to download the file 1st and then select it. I expected instant playback....

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!

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.

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

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.
