Can’t rotate to landscape on any of my devices while FX are showing. It will crash instead. Sometimes the Initializing period is infinite. That’s all my problems with the app. This happens on: iPhone 4s iPhone Xr iPad 5th gen iPad Air 5th gen Show more

I’m an nes chiptune composer, this app makes it possible for me to play NSF sound files on my IOS device. It’s a super helpful tool for me to listen to my work on the go Show more

Overall probably the best mod/vgm player on the app store. It plays custom formats (amiga, arcade, genesis, etc) very accurately and supports a huge number of formats. The ability to download your favorite music from inside the app is fantastic. I also really like that you can easily view information stored in the custom formats, for example HVSC notes. But now for the bad news… Unfortunately, there are two pretty big issues: 1) trying to download from some integrated menus like vgmrips causes an instant app crash 100% of the time, and it’s been this way for months, which means I’m stuck with whatever songs I’ve already downloaded before this bug was introduced. Being unable to download new music on a music app seems like it should be a high priority to fix. 2) navigating through your music library and playlists is really confusing, it’s easy to get lost and hard to find the music you want sometimes. I’m not a user interface designer so I have no suggestions on how to fix it, I just know that it’s not very intuitive. Our choices for custom format game music playback on mobile devices is incredibly limited, and so this is probably your best option. Just know beforehand that there are going to be some rather large annoyances while using it. Show more

Everything is mono audio. But good app nonetheless.

I’ve been using Modizer for many many years now, and back then it was better then anything out there in terms of retro VGM music playback. Today, with all the added updates, it’s so good, it even rivals (and in someways surpasses) Foobar and Winamp on PC. It’s extremely stable now, and has so many compatible file formats... it’s actually just absurd (it even supports .flac!). The biggest addition was an oscilloscope view for individual channels—alongside being able to mute channels to study the music construction. Simply put... Modizer today, is unrivaled. My only complaint is that I can’t use it on PC—how good it is. I look forward to whatever comes next with further updates... as this is already so darn good. If I could rate this app 7 stars... I would. Get. This. App. It slays. Seriously. Show more

I’ve had this app installed for an extremely long time and after going through many various upgrades through the years, I can’t deny that there’s some excitement whenever I see an update pop up for this program. It’s great for it to finally have direct access to many VGM websites now like Project 2612 and even having the oscilloscope function along with turning channels on and off like those videos I watch on Youtube occasionally. If there is one thing I say that bothers me, it’s how the program handles .zip files now. Before, I was able to download a .zip containing music files, able to look inside the .zip and choose the song I’d like to play from that list. Now, it always plays from the first track and I have to select it through the playlist instead. Another thing I’d like to see as well is being able to access the player’s functions that are available in portrait mode in landscape as well (i.e Visualizers, turning infinite loops on/off), since I tend to use my iPad in landscape. Maybe that’s just nitpicking but all I can say is, keep up the good work! Show more

Modizer has some awesome things about it and some terrible things about it. The awesome is that it plays just about all of the modern file formats used for legacy game music. You can literally have thousands of game soundtracks from platforms like NES, Genesis, and arcade, to less popular stuff like Atari ST, PC-88, and MSX. The interface for adding new OSTs is intuitive, the tracks are usually bit accurate, and they take up barely any room at all. But it’s not all roses. The playlist functionality is unusable, and the random track feature only plays the first tracks out of any given pack. By far the most frustrating issue, however, is the fact that the app periodically needs to “update the database”. I don’t know what is in this database, but it takes FOREVER to update. Case in point, today I tried to do it, and gave up after about 20 minutes. You have to click update, and leave your phone alone, because if you put the app in the background, it will reset and you’ll have to start over the next time you try to use the app. This basically forces you to choose between not using your phone or not using the app, every few weeks or month or however often it gets an updated database. As much as I love the pros of this app, I don’t love it enough to put up with such nonsense. Show more

Probably the best app on iOS to play various legacy formats. I only have a couple suggestions for future updates. -Setting fade length. A couple of plugins support this but by in large, there isn’t an option to set a fade time, so many tracks just cut out abruptly after they’ve played the selected amount of loops. I’d particularly like this option for vgmstream, but the more the merrier. -WSR (Wonderswan) support. Not a particularly popular format, but there is some good music using this format, and it’s one of the few that I’m not able to play with the app. -FLAC support would also be greatly appreciated. -More consistent updates. VGMStream in particular is updated pretty often, so it would be nice to get an update for the app a little more often. Any UI tweaks to make the player more customizable would be welcome too, but that’s just nitpicking. All in all, this is a very good app that I would recommend and it gets better with every update! Edit 4/27/2021: Pretty much everything I mentioned was added in version 3.0. Much appreciated, and very excited to see whatever’s next! Show more

I am so glad for the latest update. With the new update I can finally play all the files I usually do with a different app on a different platform that I used to use. Suffice it to say I am ecstatic at the progress that has been made. I can't wait to see what else is going to come of this. I'm glad that I paid for this a long time ago. I wish there is more I can do for this developer. Show more

The app is great, it plays most all of my modules. There’s a problem. The app crashes when my modules play or in the middle. Also is there a way I can share my mods to another device? Also can you fix the Mt2 files for Madtracker? Can you enable the automation for Mt2 files? Thanks! Show more

Whenever I need o scratch a retro chip tune itch I reach for MODizer. The number of emulations is terrific, having access to many, many libraries of tracks for multiple platforms, from directly within the interface is super convenient and the visualizers are fun to watch while out jam out. My only real complaint is periodic updates. I would really love to hear tracks from the latest High Voltage SID Collection, but the MODizer library hasn’t been updates since ~2019!? I like this tool enough to pay for a commercial version, if I could know it will always have current libraries. Cheers Show more

This is incredible and has online browsing support and plays everything under the sun! Wow! The visualizations are dope! WELL DONE!!@

Its a great app, but seriously in need of an update. 3 stars till then.

The player caps at 2:30 and doesn’t display the instruments. Other than that, every file I’ve tried playing works.

This is a great app for playing video game music on iOS. However, the interface needs some tweaks for the notched iPhones, since the volume bar at the bottom is unusable since it’s behind the home bar at the bottom of the screen. Also, most PlayStation audio files don’t work for some reason. Other than that, I like the fact that you can download your music files directly from its own browser and it will add them to the library automatically. Show more

Love the app, definitely worth it, would love to see background audio ( the ability for the app to keep playing when not in the Forefront.) also perhaps an auv3 version or Audiobus support. Show more

It supports a huge diversity of file formats and lets you download directly from Modland. It’s such a treat revisiting artists like Purple Motion and Skaven! I would love if this could backup your database to iCloud so I can easily listen on both iPad and iPhone. It would be awesome to also have top played lists built into the app across all users. So well worth the $2, thank you for creating this!! Show more

the only issue I don’t really enjoy so far is the looping feature needs a fix sometime

All your favorite chiptune video game soundtracks are here. Great little app that I use all the time.

Great app overall! The only suggestion I currently have is that there needs to be a way to backup or save files. I understand, from visiting the official forums, iCloud backup may not be possible. Is there a way to integrate Apple Files support? That would at least allow the user to find their VGM files and back them up if necessary; or listen to them on another device. Instant 5 star review if the file saving features get sorted out! Show more
