Features & Capabilities

Minimalistic, lightweight mod, s3m and xm module player (.it not supported) (s3m with AdLib instruments not supported, neither is pre-1.04 xm format)

The PureModPlayer is EXTREMELY CPU and storage FRIENDLY! The app has very low power consumption (uses only native algorithms, no third-party routines or libraries!!). All imported files are compressed into an internal database, thus saving space on your device.

Main features include:

  • fast, high quality mixing (up to 32 channels)
  • realtime song seeking
  • UTI support
  • equal power panning for best stereo experience
  • device-independent volume control (amplification)
  • background audio playback support
  • responds to remote control events (e.g. headphone controls)
  • media player info integration
  • automatic pause on audio interruption (when another application plays sound, e.g. Siri)
  • seamless resume after quit
  • automatic song length and sub song detection (not perfect sometimes)
  • customize the song names yourself
  • disable BPM changes for some very old mod files manually to ensure proper playback
  • up to 5 custom playlists (global shuffle mode can be toggled manually)
  • pin current file for endless playback
  • upload modules via iTunes (compressed zip files also supported and recommended, but only deflate method will work properly)
  • automatic compression of files to save around 40% of storage space (this will take some time so patience is advised)
  • two vis modes: instrument/sample text and spectrum (swipe bottom component); note that spectrum analyser may consume additional CPU time
  • each module is identified using unique MD5 hash, so adding same files won't waste space on the device
  • tested with up to 2.5K files (local list takes some time to load for the first time)
  • no third party open source libraries used

Warning! Successfully imported files will be deleted from local device storage to save space (they will still remain in the internal app data directory).

NOW, JAN-2025 Still working in iOS 18. Developer's website, called hedgehogeyes, has no content other than a single string of Chinese text. No support email or form. No FAQ or docs. The app author could at least list a Patreon or some other donation link so that we can reward the author since they do not charge for their app. Anyway, this app soldiers on and remains listed. PREVIOUS Regrettably, this player does not support David Whittaker format. Was quite happy with the large selection of music I could play over many years. App worked perfectly fine for me playing music while my iPhone screen is locked. There hasn't been an update in years so I don't expect the author to add more features. As of now, PureModPlay has been surpassed by 4champ for file type compatibility and ease of access to a large library (Amiga music preservation database). To the developer: Thank you for making this app for iOS so many years ago, it filled the niche that nothing else did. Hope you're still out there somewhere living your best life.

This app is overall very good! I would rate it 5 stars, but it doesn’t support .xm file custom looping, and it doesn’t support .it files. Other than that, it’s great!

good app for listening to mods but I really want a dark mode and support for .it files but the person who made the app don’t update it no more so all I gotta do is pray they magically come back and update the app
