Disappointing! ### 4/5 — I need help *2021-10-27* I can’t figure out how to get the ring tones on to my phone now please help ### 3/5 — Does not work with Apple Music downloads *2021-03-19, version 2.0.2* I figured it out. This app only works with songs downloaded to the phone from your computer. I found that it only crashes when trying to use downloaded Apple Music songs. My guess is that it’s a copyright thing. If you can get ahold of the mp3 file and add it to your phone through iTunes, there’s no issue at all and the app works perfectly. The developer should at least update the description to specify this. ### 2/5 — Not bad, *2021-01-17* But not great. Apple is still way too difficult to make and import ringtones to. Missing my Blackberry. ### 4/5 — Great app, room for improvement *2020-10-03, version 2.0.2* I am blind yet I found the user interface pretty easy and intuitive, however I think that the editing of the ringtone or text tone should be using two sliders, one to indicate the starting point of the ringtone and the other to indicate the ending point because this would be a better and more efficient system and you could also make your Ringtones as short or as long as you needed with that ### 3/5 — You need a computer *2020-04-25* If you don’t have a computer, this is useless, as you won’t be able to add the ringtones to your phone. ### 3/5 — Giving it three stars..😕 *2019-07-10, version 2.0.2* It’s an amazing app I got to say. I love the way you get to choose the songs you want as your ringtone, but there is one thing that has to be fixed is that every time i chose a song the app crashes, maybe it’s the artist I was using, but every time I chose the same artist but a different song which kinda makes me upset that I can’t choose that song if the app is going to crash. I not saying this is a bad app I just wanted to tell you guys one little bug about the app great app keep up the good work. ### 2/5 — Meh *2019-05-17, version 2.0.2* Does this app do the job? Yes, you can create a ringtone on it. However I wish it had a little more to it. I wish there were up and down arrows to add seconds to it or make it shorter by a few seconds rather than just by moving the bar and hoping you barely move it. I wish you could adjust how much you wanted to fade it. And I wish it would save directly to your phone. Having to plug your phone into your computer, move it from your device, to the computer and back onto the device is tedious and annoying. Probably won’t keep it ### 2/5 — Quick question/statement. *2017-11-14* Went to download it, and naturally the app asks for your permission to access your music library, and I was just about to do so, when I saw that the app asked for permission to also access my video library... you don’t need access to my videos, you shouldn’t need it, whether someone wants a ring tone made out of a music video or not - it dangerous as hell, peoples private video documents getting into the hands of god knows who, who run this application and people should be aware of this. People have videos and photos of their kids and god knows what else on their phones, and considering apple don’t give a monkeys about peoples privacy as they hand over people’s mic’c and cameras to Apps who are then allowed to spy on you whenever they feel to once you click OK. Isn’t it a shame that 90% of apps these days want access to pretty much everything on your phone. To conclude I didn’t download the app lol. ### 4/5 — Love this app BUT... *2017-04-25, version 1.7* This app is so simple to use which I really appreciate. Nobody wants to jump through hoops trying to do something which should be so simple to do. However there are a few things things that are on my wishlist for this app. Namely it would be nice if there was some sort of volume control in there. And it would also be nice if one could choose to fade in and fade out your sound. The sound of a sfx/track jumping in or chopping off isn't exactly something one would desire-I know I don't. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SUCKS! *2021-03-23* This app is a waste of time and doesn’t load ### 1/5 — Last iPhone for me!!! *2021-01-28* Greedy sons of female dogs changed it. Last time I had an iPhone 5se and it was easy to do the ringtone move. Now they say there’s no other way then the buy tones. Blackberry... too late now ### 1/5 — Glitches CONSTANTLY *2020-10-03* App sucks, it doesn’t even work past the point of letting me pick a song and then closes the app on its own. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE *2020-09-05* I cant even open the app, and when i can it shuts down when i choose a song 😡 ### 1/5 — Not working... can’t load my songs... *2020-08-21* Not working... can’t load my songs... ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-07-04* Can’t go past picking a song smh ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-05-08* It keeps crashing every time I go to click on the song I wanna use. ### 1/5 — Why can’t I use YouTube? *2020-04-24* I don’t have iTunes or whatever you need for it so it’s useless. Why can’t I use YouTube ? ### 1/5 — Horrible *2019-11-20* I tried to pick a song but it kept crashing do not reccomend 😡😡 ### 1/5 — Update Needed *2017-03-01* I downloaded this & got a warning saying developer needs to update app as it will slow up my phone - deleted!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Still great after so many years! *2022-11-14, version 2.0.2* I used this app back in 2015, twice. Never touched it again. After wanting to create a personal ringtones and text tones, I searched for an app that would allow me to make one personally. I have found and used other apps but I was not able to download the ringtone I made, for free. This app is fully free and very easy to use! Definitely going to stay on my phone from now on. Thank you ringtone designer! ### 5/5 — Making Ringtones Is So Easy Now *2020-02-07, version 2.0.2* Making ringtones is easy and fun with this app. The process of importing them into iTunes isn’t quite the same anymore since Apple recently updated iTunes. It’s actually a little easier than it used to be. Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, go to Files, drag your ringtone file to your desktop to save it, drag the saved file from your desktop and drop it on your phone name on the left side of your iTunes window. Sync your phone. Done. ### 5/5 — This App is Honest! *2019-05-25, version 2.0.2* I have never used a computer to link with my iPhone before and I finally did it for the first time ever by following their simple steps! I was able to get my ringtone that I couldn’t download from the iTunes Store! They unfortunately didn’t have it as a ringtone, but they did have the song I desired! I downloaded it, found this app, sized it to the right parts I wanted as a ringtone, followed their steps, and I have the ringtone! Get this app! It isn’t a lie! It WILL serve you well! It’s simple, easy, and it WORKS! It doesn’t matter if you have a Mac book or not, iTunes can download onto any software computer for all I know of! It worked on my Windows 10! I’m so proud of this app! Thank you so much!!! I will definitely be keeping you! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2019-03-25* This app is absolutely amazing I couldn’t recommend enough I actually can have ringtones I want and not ones that are pre chosen for me thank you 🙏 ### 5/5 — It actually worked for me *2019-01-05* I tried all afternoon to make my own ringtones from my computer files. The instructions are long but that is because apple doesn’t want you to do it. At least every step is simple. Reminds me of the love of dubbing tapes. Works in the end. Thanks! ### 5/5 — One of the Best App Store Apps, EVER!!!! *2018-05-07, version 2.0.2* I was hoping to find an app like this in the App Store, and it is the best app that I could fine to make custom ringtones. This app makes me so happy because now I can have a custom ringtone for everybody. I’m so happy that I do not have to pay for ringtones; but, I am mostly happy about the fact of having literally any ringtone I want! Thank you for creating this app! I love it! ☺️♥️ ### 5/5 — Best app ever!! *2017-05-24* For anyone who loves music and not having ding dong ringtones and alert noises this is the number one must have when you own an iPhone!!
