Free Ringtones app review: download free ringtones or create your own with ease

Reviews

Introduction

This app is designed to act as both as a way of downloading new ringtones onto your iPhone and also as a handy way of creating ringtones using the existing tracks in your Music Library. What’s more, you can design your own custom sound themes to add a personal touch to the audio elements of your iPhone.

Finally, a ringtone maker that really works! I find it funny that this app is called Free Ringtones and the ringtone maker is mentioned as an afterthought.

The ringtone maker in this app is easily the best and easiest-to-use one I’ve ever come across, but let’s take a look at the other features to see what else Free Ringtones has to offer.

Design Your Own Custom Sound Themes

There are three main sections in this app, which are Ringtone Collection, Ringtone Maker, and Sound Theme Maker.

The Ringtone Collection gives you access to loads of different audio samples which span various categories such as Funky, Valentine’s Day, My Alarm Clock App, and Electronic - I even found the theme tune to the TV show Dexter hidden in the mix!

You can download these audio samples and then set them as any of the audio alerts on your iPhone, be it New Voicemail, Tweet, Calendar Alert, or simply a text tone or ringtone.

 

Fantastic Ringtone Maker

Stepping over the Ringtone Maker for a moment, the Sound Theme Maker features a similar layout to the Ringtone Collection except that you can assign sounds to all of the individual audio alerts on your iPhone and then save them all as a single theme. Once you’ve saved your theme you can then use it to apply all of the different sounds at once.

Now, the Ringtone Maker is the part I’m most excited about and the part that really brings this app into a league of its own.

You can either record your own sound then tweak it accordingly, or you can import a track from your Music Library. I love the way you have to spin the record onscreen in order to clip through the song, and you can set markers on the sound wave to very, very easily fine-tune it and find exactly the points in the song you want to use.

 

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Download free audio samples to use as alerts on your iPhone
  • Create your own ringtones with ease using songs in your Music Library
  • Create your own custom audio themes to completely overhaul your iPhone sounds
  • Share your creations with others via email or Twitter

 

Cons

  • There is nothing negative to say about this app

 

Final Words

This app is, in a word, awesome!

The audio samples you can download are of a very high quality and the downloads are more or less instantaneous, even on my lousy Internet connection.

The Ringtone Maker could be a very successful app all by itself, so if the developer is reading this, you might want to consider bringing more attention to this feature so more people can benefit from it because it’s far better than any ringtone maker I’ve ever used.

I highly recommended this app!
