User Reviews

Sweet MIDI Player is praised as a durable, feature-rich MIDI player with strong sound quality and easy playback, plus robust file management and solid external-device support. Common drawbacks center on licensing across devices, confusing IAPs and purchase restoration, a dated UI with hidden controls, and several feature gaps around soundfonts and multi-soundfont loading. Overall, it remains a reliable choice for managing large MIDI collections and teaching or performing with hardware synths, but users should expect some setup quirks and licensing friction.
Pros
  • Reliable, long-standing MIDI player with years of positive use
  • Excellent sound quality and rich playback controls, including tempo/velocity scaling and slow-down
  • Flexible file management with easy import and the ability to use your own soundfonts
  • Strong compatibility with external hardware synths and MIDI DAWs (e.g., MIDI clock with Logic Pro)
  • Good for teaching and live use due to ease of use and practical features
Cons
  • License and purchase handling across devices is confusing: Mac vs iOS are separate apps and purchases are not always transferable
  • Restoring purchases across devices or via Family Sharing can be problematic
  • Settings and advanced options can be hard to find; the UI feels outdated and discovery is poor
  • Soundfont handling is limited (e.g., cannot load multiple soundfonts at once) and overall soundfont quality can vary
  • Pricing and IAP clarity sometimes feels opaque, with reports of high upfront costs for full features and 'what you get' not clearly explained

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.
