Ringtone Maker – create ringtones with your music Reviews

by Ryebird

Easy to use! Does a good job editing down homemade ringtones to size, but, following the step-by-step tutorial to load onto a iPhone proved fruitless. I contacted apple support. They informed me that with the iOS 11.1 upgrade, you can no longer upload ringtones that are acquired from a source other than iTunes. Apple did this intentionally! Since virtually all ringtone making apps require you to load your created ringtones into iTunes so that they can be synced into the “tones” section of your iTunes, then synced into your iPhone, Apple has now made it impossible to sync the ringtones back into your iPhone. They did this by eliminating the “tones” section of the iTunes app. “Tones” section appears on your iPhone, but can only receive ringtones purchased from the iTunes Store. Apple kind of screwed all of the ringtone maker app makers that offer their apps on RingtoneMaker Store. The completed ringtones will go onto the desktop of your computer, but there is no place (“Tones” section) to load it back into your iTunes library. You can transfer the ringtones directly into the “Tones” section of your iPhone when the iPhone is synced to your computer, but only the file name syncs. No data transfers. Not only did the process of creating and syncing a ringtone not work, I also lost 23 previously created ringtones that I dearly loved. It’s not RingtoneMaker creator’s fault! It’s Apple’s fault!!

Of course. As soon as I get on, I’m really excited to finally get free songs. But of course, it makes you get them on iTunes. The whole reason I wanted to get one of the apps is so I could get ringtones for FREE!!! RingtoneMaker didn’t provide that AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn’t even tell my worst enemy to get RingtoneMaker! It’s really stupid and pls don’t get RingtoneMaker. I wouldn’t be surprised if the good reviews were people who were PAID to do it. I hate RingtoneMaker almost as much as I hate Satan. (well not that much. that’s exaggerating. kind of.)
In conclusion, only get RingtoneMaker if you want to be disappointed. I’m just trying to save y’alls butts!!!

Yes I agree with the top review, RingtoneMaker would be the go to if it weren’t for the prevention made by apple, the step by step is really handy, and RingtoneMaker itself is easy to use and makes it simple. But thanks to Apple, even if you were to change the file extension of any sound on your computer to .m4r from .m4a or if your using a song from .wav it acts like it does something but in reality it doesn’t. No data transfer or anything. Apple really messed up by disabling any outside ringtone not bought through them and prolly lost business rather then gaining it; all the while making great apps like this virtually useless.

Overall, RingtoneMaker is pretty good. But after you go ahead and put the tones on your phone using iTunes, if you delete RingtoneMaker (for the sake of saving space) the tones you downloaded don’t seem to work. I have not yet tested if the tones I downloaded will work by tapping the “download purchased tones” button in settings then trying to get another device to text or call my IPod. And when I re-downloaded RingtoneMaker , the tones I previously made wouldn’t appear in RingtoneMaker but I suppose that’s because they are already on my device.

RingtoneMaker works great, super easy to use.

However! Now that Apple has gotten rid of the "Apps" section on iTunes the tutorial isn't very helpful anymore. If you're looking through reviews to find out what to do, you just need to download the ringtone files from RingtoneMaker to your Google Drive, save the files to your computer, and then drag the tones in to the "Tones" section. Hope this helps people who were as frustrated as me, and that it keeps you from having to buy a bunch of ringtones!

Using RingtoneMaker to select a song and choose a portion of the song to use for either a ringtone or text tone works great. Very intuitive. Each time you move the bar to select a different start and end, RingtoneMaker plays your choice. Unfortunately, the instructions to save the create file then upload to your phone are misleading. Once you have connected your phone to iTunes and saved the tone to your desktop, simply drag the saved tone from the desktop to the “Tones” selection under “On My Device” in iTunes.

You can make ringtones easily enough, but the instructions have to be updated, I finally figured it out and when I did, they come out great! I like that you can adjust the length of the ringtone and fade in or out, the slide makes it super easy to create. If the instructions are updated, I would give it 5 stars.

So, I just want to start off with the fact that this application is completely free... no strings attached. I have been searching for quite a while for a FREE application like this, that can take my music that I have purchased, and turn it into my ringtone. Overall, the application downloaded quickly, is very straightforward, simple and easy to use, so it’s 5 out of 5 stars. But, just for reference, you have to have purchased music from the iTunes Store in order make it your ringtone/text haptic. I love RingtoneMaker!

I’m no techie, but I made a ringtone from a song on my iPhone with RingtoneMaker at no cost. I agree that Apple isn’t our best friend in this operation. But by following the graphic tutorial several times I finally outfoxed them. Somewhere along the way you have the option of saving your manufactured ringtone to your iCloud. I used that copy to copy and paste the ringtone into my Tones file on iTunes while connected to my iPhone. And that was, to credit Paul Harvey, the Rest of the Story! Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good!

I am pleased at the easiness RingtoneMaker brings. I decided to try RingtoneMaker after Garage Band wouldn’t allow me to make tones from my music. With Ringtone, I had no problem downloading on my device from the computer. The files and data showed wonderfully and synced directly on my phone. Although RingtoneMaker mentions text tones are 20 seconds, I was able to use my 30 second tones for texting. I didn’t know other people were having trouble with downloading due to Apple. However, I’m due for a IOS12 update and was able to get my tones.

Very pleased with RingtoneMaker!

I don’t usually leave reviews on apps but this one I have to because I was skeptical of RingtoneMaker at first but I’ve used it 3 times now (on three different phones) and each time it has been absolutely wonderful! It’s easy to use, self explanatory, and even has easy to follow instructions to apply the ringtone to your device. I have yet to run into any issues with RingtoneMaker and installing the ringtones, thank you for a great app!

by AmberH91

I like RingtoneMaker because it is easy to use and it's not confusing, it has very neat features I like the ability to skip forward .1 second or going back .1 second. You can also use your finger to scroll through the song, but sometimes if you want to be precise it's a little bit harder to do that. So having the .1 second skip is a cool feature! I would highly recommend RingtoneMaker for anybody who uses or is familiar with Apple products!

I’ve always liked having a ringtone for whatever song I can’t stop listening to every couple weeks so I can at least enjoy the time when I don’t answer spam calls. This is by far the easiest converter I’ve ever used. It even has CLEAR tutorials to help use the ringtone. If you haven’t tried, it’s worth the go around. You will probably never use another converter again.

It's so easy to use. You select a song, then whether you want text tone or ring tone, then select which part of the song you want. You can adjust the length of the tones to be less than the 30 or 15 seconds, which would make it repeat. How you select the part of the song - you see a sound wave chart and two vertical lines with selectors at the bottom. You move the selectors to indicate how long the tone will last, then you can move the sound wave so that the section you want is inside those lines. You can play it at any time because there's a play button. Then you download it and it goes into your ringtones. I know this isn't pc, but my elderly friend was able to do it without help. :)

The original version would not work with the new IOS. Downloaded the new version and it works really well! You can slide the start point while it is playing and it restarts from that new point. Up to 30 seconds for ringtone, more than enough. Very easy download to my PC with iTunes and then upload back to the iPhone. Occasional ads with free version is non-invasive.

by Macgyvie

No need to ever buy a ring tone. Might as well buy the song and make it yourself, they cost about the same. Plus, you can make tones not even available to buy. Only downside is you need iTunes to import and it has to be the computer you sync your phone with. But that is more of an iPhone quark and can’t blame the developers for that.

by Candace0412

I just got a new phone (iphone8) and I haven’t been able to figure out how to get my stuff from my 5s. I have been able to make the few tones I had without any problems ❤️ I saw some other people had an issue I don’t know if there has been a fix since but the ringtone app should appear in the file sharing section on iTunes on your computer.

Read some of the other reviews and was skeptical, but this works perfectly. I have an iPhone X and a MacBook Pro. Some helpful tips: 1) you can’t hear the song on RingtoneMaker , so it really helps to listen to the song on iTunes on the computer and figure out your 30 second segment (you can see the time at the top where it shows what’s playing) and then pick that segment for your tone. 2) once you’ve made the tone, you will need to either airdrop it or email to get it to your computer and then save it somewhere handy. 3) make sure your phone is plugged into your computer and that you can see the phone’s menu in iTunes. Hold down Control and drag the .m4r file into the tones menu until you see the green plus sign. It’s then added to your phone and you can go to settings and find it in your ringtones. 4) don’t get as addicted as I am. 5) have fun!

I love this enough to pay for a permanent version.
Just don’t do subscribe to get rid of ads like other games do
I would rather pay $50 and own this

Also some of those loading mini games don’t load which makes it have to force reset

by Zombiespam

I have been through dozens of ringtone apps, finally I find this one. It is easy to use, it is actually FREE, step by step instructions...if you can’t figure this out, we have more to talk about! I had dozens of ringtones on my phone from iTunes in about 20 minutes. I have an iPhone XsMax and it works like a charm. I read a few reviews that said not iPhone compatible...WRONG! It works perfectly. If you want ringtones with no hassle and no purchase, this is it. Ads will pop up here and there but just close them out and go about your business. Thank you ringtone app creator-god for RingtoneMaker!!! Everyone else with your in-app purchases and subscription nonsense and difficult to use apps...shame in you!!! In a world where you can be you or be RingtoneMaker’s creator, be this RingtoneMaker’s creator cuz you are not as good!!!!

I used to make ringtones with Garage Band. RingtoneMaker makes it a lot easier. One feature it is lacking is the ability to send the ringtone directly to your settings. You still need to connect to iTunes to upload the tone to your phone settings, so I deducted a star. It's a free app and the ads aren't too obtrusive. Get it and you'll enjoy it.

by FrancoV

Excellent application, it does exactly what it’s meant to do easily. Is there a paid version or we can remove ads that’s the only annoying part even though they’re not intrusive I just hate any application that has ads in it I normally don’t download and if I do only to try and then remove it if there is a paid version.
