Love the app, absolutely amazing with what it does and also being free makes it insanely useful for any inspiring musician! However, recently I encountered an issue where i get an "unable to open:[File_name] permission is denied" error. I was thinking it may have to do with my s22 ultra permission settings, however, it seems the app doesn't ask for any so that doesn't seem to be an issue. Any idea what the problem could be anyone?

Where was this file? On recent versions of Android, you can't directly access shared directories like Downloads with the integrated file explorer. However, you should be able to open the file using the "Import" button.

Horrible right now. I am using a galaxy Note 9 and all I every see when a file loads is a full page of whole rests. I have tried multiple TEF files from Banjo Hangout with no luck. if this could be fixed I would buy the full version. But without a way to test it out I don't think I will use it again. update. I got the app to work but had to switch mobile browsers. it doesn't seem to work with Chrome on a note 9. It will work with the Samsung browser though. would give it 5 stars if not for this

Maybe the problem is the browser. Try downloading the file instead of opening it directly from the web page.

It does not play all tracks. There is a midi file that I've loaded and it does not play the last track(11). The review is not meant to be severe. It is just the truth. I've installed the application to help me look at the score while playing, but it does not work for the melody track. Some improvement would be welcome.

It is true that TEFview, if it imports all tracks from a MIDI file, consumes by default 2 MIDI channels per instrument to play the music. Since there are only 16 MIDI channels available, this quickly exceeds the capacity of MIDI. The reproach is well-founded but the note seems to me to be too severe. Update: Could you send to me the MIDI file?
