Review summary

User feedback is largely negative due to installation hurdles and reliability issues. The app often crashes, won't download, or redirects charged users. Setup relies on iTunes/PC with outdated guidance, and compatibility problems affect iPads and newer devices. The tone library is perceived as limited or low quality, and some features require extra purchases. A minority praise the catalog and fun customization, but overall success hinges on simplifying setup, fixing crashes, and improving tone quality and availability.
Pros
  • Large variety of tones and alerts available for customization
  • Fun and entertaining to personalize contacts with unique tones
  • Useful for accessing original iPhone alert sounds and expanding customization
  • Positive user sentiment about the app's value and usefulness in several reviews
Cons
  • Installation is overly complex and relies on iTunes/PC to download and sync tones, with outdated or unclear instructions
  • Not well supported on iPad or newer devices, leading to compatibility issues
  • App frequently crashes or fails to work (including during tone creation or download)
  • Tone library is limited, generic, or of low quality, with some content requiring additional purchases

2025-03-22 Un***** Can’t use on IPAD. Unless you first use your computer to help access the files. Why sell it for IPad if you are unable to access it.? Recommendation: NO

2021-10-05 Hu***** It’s not at all clear in the description but you have to download the tones to iTunes on a computer and then sync your phone to that. It really should be simpler. I don’t have iTunes or a computer I can sync to so I just deleted this.

2021-10-04 #1***** Most corny, limited ring tones and alerts ever. When you want to try another part of app that they offer , I get a message, “app not available on this device”. I have an iPhone 11plus. I asked for a refund immediately and instead they sent me numerous directions on how to work the app🙄. I’ll be reporting and asking for refund from this app from Apple store tomorrow.

2021-06-29 Bl***** There are many great tones and alerts here, but the method by which they must be installed is insane. ITunes has changed so much since their help video was made, I'm not even sure the method still works. I just unlocked unlimited tones with an in-app purchase, which was my own fault for not investigating more thoroughly before doing so. still, a fresh update would solve everything, even if they just re-did the video with the modern iTunes to show that things still work essentially the same, or to show us how to use these now that iTunes has evolved so much. Here's hoping.
