### 1/5 — TERRIBLE

*2020-09-11, version 2.0.1*

I spent £2 on this and I made 2 ringtones, then I looked on my sounds in ringtones and text tones and it wasn't there! Don't waste your money on this like I did - Sorry for the bad review, I just wanted to point it out-

### 5/5 — Best ringtone maker in the App Store.

*2020-08-26, version 2.0.1*

Update 8-24-19
This app still work really well. But you have to do more to get your ringtones on your phone. Just like before you have to bought the song not Apple Music. With Apple Music you are renting the song. So purchase the song you want or rip it from a cd. Then open finder on your Mac click on ringer app and drag the ringtone to you desktop. Then drag back to the finder window with your iPad or iPhone. You will not see them but when you disconnect your iPhone go to settings sound & haptic you new ring tone should show up.

Update 4-11-19
I’m so glad you updated this app. By far the best ringtone make on the App Store.

This was a great app but does not work any more. It might still work if you are on iOS 10 but it does not work on iOS 11.

### 1/5 — Don't buy this

*2019-12-14, version 2.0.1*

The app no longer works anymore because Apple took out the "Tones" tab on iTunes... Love this app but doesn't allow you to create anymore

### 1/5 — Worst ever

*2019-08-02, version 2.0.1*

I can only make ringers out of THREE of my thousands of songs.... I want my $1.99 back 😒

### 1/5 — Ringtone time

*2019-03-11, version 2.0*

Stars you can easily set the ringtone from 2-40 seconds. I can only get it to go for 5 seconds. Wasted my money from what I can see so far.

### 5/5 — Melhor app!!

*2019-02-17*

Melhor app de toque !

### 1/5 — À quand la mise à jour pour iOS 11

*2018-02-03*

Application très bien. Cependant dans la mesure où celle-ci est payante, il serait sympa que le développeur fasse la mise à jour pour iOS 11 ? Application aujourd’hui inutilisable. Bien dommage !

### 5/5 — Update auf IOS

*2018-01-13*

Bitte die App für IOS 11 bereitstellen   da sie nicht mehr zu benutzen ist

### 5/5 — Super App

*2017-09-28*

Ein sehr einfache tolle App die leider mit IOS 11 nicht mehr funktionieren wird. Sehr sehr schade!!!! Habe sehr viele Klingeltöne damit erstellt.

### 4/5 — Geht nicht mit IOS 11.

*2017-09-25*

Ich hatte die App vor dem neuen Update runtergeladen. Da funktionierte auch alles prima. Allerdings mit IOS 11 geht sie nicht mehr. Bitte ein Update für die App bereitstellen, damit ich sie weiterhin benutzen kann.
