Ringtone Designer 2.0 Reviews

by Evagail

RingtoneDesigner20 by itself isn't bad. It's pretty easy to use and find the spot in the song you want etc. The tricky part is actually being able to use it. You have to save the recording, sync it to your iTunes account on the computer, add the song to 'tones', re-sync your computer to your phone, and THEN you can use it. The 'tutorial' they offer is on an outdated version of iTunes, making it very hard and confusing to follow the steps if you don't know your way around iTunes. I was able to do it after about half an hour of poking around and much trial and error. Good luck.

First, if you search for the song, it won't let you select it for editing. It gives an error message. You need to scroll through all your songs until you find it and then select it. Which isn't a big deal, just cumbersome.
Second, it's annoying that you have to go back to the beginning of the piece you're editing each time. It'd be more convenient if you could start closer to the end in order to fine tune instead. Just so you don't have to play the whole thing once you've got the beginning set.

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

Update: I realize that the reason I wasn't able to get the other music was because I had to download them from my iCloud. Now that I did that, I was able to retrieve the music that I purchased. I give this an extra star. Now if I'm able to use my CD music as my ringtone, RingtoneDesigner20 will be perfect.

RingtoneDesigner20 works well.........with SOME songs. I was able to use a piece of India Arie's "There's Hope" as a ringtone and was quite satisfied by it. But when it came to other songs on my iTunes that I think are appropriate for other folks, I can't use them. That should be fixed, especially if I bought the songs directly from iTunes.

7/9/13: have an iPhone 4 and RingtoneDesigner20 works just fine with it and the new iTunes setup. It's really simple to use and it is so much cheaper than buying a tone of ringtones! Just make sure you watch the tutorial they give you on how to put your ringtones on your phone!
It may take a couple of minutes to do everything, but to me that's worth the money saved!
My only real complaint with RingtoneDesigner20 is that when you are adjusting the ending of the ringtone you have to listen to the whole ringtone- but that's such a first world problem it really doesn't matter.
Hope that helps!

I like RingtoneDesigner20 because it uses your iTunes library to create songs. The only downside is getting it to your iPhone. There are a couple of steps and you need to use your computer or laptop to get them to your phone. Overall not hard, but I like to change my ringtone on a whim and I don't always have my laptop with me. But other than that, it's awesome. It lets you pick your favorite parts of your songs to use as ringtones. There is a 30 second time limit for ringtones. Not sure how long for alerts because I haven't made any yet. Hope this helps. :)

Absolutely fantastic. One of the few apps I've found where the free version works so flawlessly I'm going to upgrade because I want to, not because I have to. Great user interface, easy to use to make both ring and message tones, easy to put the tones you make on your iPhone with iTunes. The included link to the instructional video that shows you how to get your creations on your phone is a very helpful, smart addition within RingtoneDesigner20 .

I have an iPhone and RingtoneDesigner20 is that just does not work for the iPhone I really wanted to get this one ring tone girl on fire. I tried so many ring tone making apps and they all were really complicated and when I tried to sync them to my phone it would say they were too long. When I found RingtoneDesigner20 it's it was smooth and easy to use I definitely recommend RingtoneDesigner20 for people who arent that good with technology or get confused by it!

The only way RingtoneDesigner20 could be better is if you didn't have to sync with iTunes every time but I know apple has restrictions that require that so I can't fault them there! In fact I'm just impressed they came up with a way that is as simple as it is. The other small things are, I wish you could make slightly shorter clips (for texts and reminders etc) and I wish you could adjust where it begins to play from while you're picking the clip- what I mean is that when you're trying to figure out when to cut it off (maybe I'm he only one who's super particular though) I wish you didn't have to start it over from the beginning of your chosen start place every time to get all the way to hearing the end. I feel like sometimes I get so sick of hearing it by the time I'm done I don't even want it as a tone anymore. Not really, but you get the point. That's it though! Overall this is a fantastic free app. I can't believe it's free really. Great job guys!

This ringtone app is so easy to use. I love it so much,all the others are too hard to do. The only problem I have is I don't know when to stop making ringtones. The best part is you can start and stop the ringtones where ever you want. When you buy ringtones you have to have the ringtone wherever they put it in the song. I like putting the ringtone where I want to. (That is the best part). Thank you for an excellent ringtone maker. I give it a 10++++

Ok, I really like RingtoneDesigner20 it's fairly simple to use, even though it took me a good minute to figure out how to put the tones on my phone, I too have the latest iTunes and almost gave up. You have to drag the file into the side bar under where it says your phone is connected. Or if you drag it to the top you go into tones on the top and drag it down into your phone section. It's kind of complicated, but glad I figured out cuz I'm enjoying my custom ringtones :) thanks!

Well, I would like to say that RingtoneDesigner20 is very useful and because other people don't take the time to understand RingtoneDesigner20 that's when they get frustrated and think it's broken.

I have an iPhone 5 and it works fine with my iPhone. However, I did notice when RingtoneDesigner20 updated I had to delete it and reinstall again.

Note:
1. When you do make your ringtone or text tone save it!
2. Then go to your laptop/computer and open your iTunes.
3. Click to open your iPhone and go to your apps section, scroll to the way bottom.
4. Then click the ringtones app and notice it'll show all the to hotness you made.
5. Save all your ringtones to the ringtones folder of iTunes.
6. Drag them into iTunes into your tones section.
7. Sync it to your iPhone!
8. Enjoy it!!!! Like I am!!! :)

Hope this was helpful to you, because I know RingtoneDesigner20 works and it's a lot easier for me.

I love RingtoneDesigner20! You can use any song in your music library. If you watch the video on your computer you can pause it while you do each step. After a few times you'll get the hang of it, it's really not that difficult You can actually move the song behind the clip which allows you to start and stop where ever you choose. I use Family Guy "Stewie mom mom mom" for my son and Train's "Hey Soul Sister" for my sister. You get the idea. I use it mostly for my closest friends and family so I always know who's calling or texting me before I look at my phone. I have 150 apps and this is one of 4 reviews I've written. You do have to drag the song onto your iPhone when you connect it to your computer, until Apple allows you download it directly. It's really easy to do once you get the hang of it. The video shows you how to do it step by step. Remember to watch the video on your computer so you can pause it as you do it. A big thank you to the developers I love RingtoneDesigner20!!

Making ringtones is easy and fun with RingtoneDesigner20. 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.

Totally love RingtoneDesigner20! Takes seconds to make a ring tone which allows me to make them in my spare time during the workday. Sure I have to hook up to the computer to get them where they need to be and that can be a bummer if you don't have the patience or think you don't have the time to so it but I do so that isn't a good enough reason to not give it a great rating. Def recommend for anyone that has an extensive music collection. One thing I would like to see changed is that it doesn't go back to the top of the music list every time you make a tone, that is kind of a bummer.

I really like RingtoneDesigner20. It's easy to use. The thing I like the most is that it has a link attached to RingtoneDesigner20 that tells u how to retrieve these ringtones (or text tones) & access them on your iPhone. The only thing I don't like about RingtoneDesigner20 is that there's a limit on how long the ringtone/text tone can be. I personally don't think there should be a limit. But I guess the limit becomes useful for someone who doesn't want to use up to much space on there phone. Then still I think it should be limitless when it comes to the length of the ringtone/text tone.

- Smooth simple interface
- If using iTunes Match you have to get the song out of your cloud first by selecting it in the Music app but it works flawlessly
- You have to pull your new tones out of RingtoneDesigner20 and on to your computer using iTunes, then import them back in to iTunes in order to use them so they aren't immediately available, but it is simple and you can watch a video on how to do it after every tone you create.

Bottom Line: It's not often you download any app from the store and it works like its supposed to but this one is great and for a price anyone could afford.

I love this!! I've made so many ringtones already for FOB and TØP songs and I love them all! The sound is just like it is in your iTunes library, which is great. It's also super easy to figure out how to work RingtoneDesigner20 , and if you're still having trouble there's an instructional video they provide a link for teaching you step by step. The only thing I think could be improved is that the longest option is 30 seconds of my songs for a ringtone. But then my iPhone plays it 1.5 times. So I think I should just be able to make a 45 second one and have it play once through instead of playing a 30 second one 1.5 times.

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 RingtoneDesigner20, sized it to the right parts I wanted as a ringtone, followed their steps, and I have the ringtone! Get RingtoneDesigner20! 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 RingtoneDesigner20! Thank you so much!!! I will definitely be keeping you!

This is a great app which allows you to create ringtones or text tones using your own music! It took me a little bit of time to figure how to get the tones into my iPhone, but I watched the video (a couple of times actually) and voila! I now have ringtones and have saved myself quite a bit of money! It's really easy to create the tones, the only tricky part (I think) is getting them into your iPhone. But, I'm so glad that I stuck with it! Now, I can have all the ringtones that I want, just the way I want! Highly recommended!

RingtoneDesigner20 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 RingtoneDesigner20. 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.
