### 1/5 — Don’t be fooled

*2025-03-22, version 9.0.1*

Can’t use on IPAD.  Unless you first use your computer to help access the files.   Why sell it for IPad if you are unable to access it.?  
Recommendation:  NO

### 4/5 — It’s great

Doesn’t work with latest IOS

### 1/5 — Lies

*2023-03-14, version 9.0.1*

They tell you this thousands of ringtones there’s maybe 100 and the terrible. A waste of my $.99.

### 2/5 — Requires access to iTunes on a computer

*2022-09-18, version 9.0.1*

To assign tones you will need to connect to a computer with iTunes on it to sync. Annoying that this isn’t explained in the description. As I have a locked work phone I cannot use these tones. 
Limited functionality without upgrading subscription.
