5/5Needs work, but is really good
Less intimidating and cheaper than anything else on the market. Always did like that trackers helped you focus on rhythm than on waveforms. Proper musicians start with sheet music. Many a tune was engineered on a tracker, even if real hardware™ was used to produce it. Needs a few adjustments for user friendliness (switch screens 3 and 5!), and could use the ability to export to PCM and a menu for editing options, like for interpolation, Hz, and colors. PS, it can't handle some of the more advanced techniques that mods like Hoffman's "generator.” I think it’s that double sample offset that causes it.

4/5Great Tracker, but missing some things.
I love this old school tracker. But I have a couple of requests for features. 1. The ability to sort that mod file list into alphabetical order. I seriously don’t know what method the app uses to sort mods, but they seem to be sorted randomly, making it difficult to find tunes you want if you have a lot of files. 2. I really think, in addition to being able to load samples from other mods, it would be really nice to create a folder where we could just put our own sounds, instead of having to use a mod editor on a pc to load sounds into a mod file, and then upload the thing. It would remove a step and make things a lot easier. I have an extensive library of samples that I use for making my tracker music, and I would really appreciate the ease of just...uploading samples straight into a folder on my iPhone to use with VividTracker. Putting all those samples into mod files and then uploading the mod files to my iPhone is a time consuming pain compared to the ability to just... upload the samples themselves. Other than those two complaints, I love this tracker and would like to see further development on it.

3/5Not for me
I really love that this app exists and it’s cool to see old things given a update sometimes, I know this is supposed to directly copied the Amiga mod tracker but the interface is just not good for iOS. I have used Medly 4 for iPad for around 3 years now and after an hour of messing around in this app, I just can’t rap my head around it, the interface is just bad nowadays. I understand how this would be great for someone who actually used a mod tracker back in the 90’s but, if you’re looking at this as a beginner app, I can not recommend it. I like how this brings back the old limitations of older hardware, forcing you to work differently, but using the interface is just to hard for me. If you’re looking for something to just make music on I would recommend Medly 4, it’s also on IOS. It’s not like this but it’s a lot easier to use, better than garage band in my opinion.

4/5Great for experienced users
It cracked me up to see people giving poor reviews based on this not being a modern-concept tool; pretty obviously the point is to be a recreation of the old school approach and it does this well, no functional complaints at all. 👌 This might seem like a small thing to some, but the font gives me a headache– it is visually aggressive and hard to look at. Additionally, my brain just really wants to see a nice fuzzy pixel font; the ultra crisp, rounded serif type looks completely wrong on an aesthetic level. For these reasons it would be really helpful to have some configurable options- at least one alternate font option (the original pixel font is fine) and ideally the ability to change the contrast and/or text size to make it easier on the eyes.

5/5iPhone junglism!
This has quickly become one of my favorite ever music making apps on the iPhone. Enhanced ProTracked workflow that’s great for cutting up breaks, messing with samples synths, and making chords with the AutoChord feature. I honestly complete more full tracks in VividTracker than in any of the fuller DAW apps. The learning curve can feel a bit steep, especially if you’re new to trackers - but there are great ProTracker tutorials out there and it’s easier to handle if you take the effect references 1 by 1. Also, the dev has been extremely responsive and helpful on Twitter - added bonus!
