Ringtones Maker 2.5.0.0
When it comes to handling audio files and cutting them down to size in order to obtain fresh ringtones and notification sounds, having the right tools for the job is a must and Windows Phone users can try a versatile specialized utility called Ringtones Maker.
Friendly interface for simple operation
The looks of this app are not too appealing, as it is bent on practicality and aims to offer ease of use at the expense of some dazzling graphics. The layout is nonetheless very clean and the few functions and commands are kept at hand.
Less appealing are the advertisements that appear in most areas of the app and the irritating prompts to rate Ringtones Maker that will start to pop up after you launch the application a couple of times.
Quickly search and download fresh sounds
This application cannot use the songs stored onto your phone or on the attached SD card, so you will have to look for the ones you want to use as ringtones using the built-in search engine.
The query results take a few moments to load and once they do, you can play, download and set as default ringtone any of the items included on the list. Browsing the "Top Ringtones" section is another way of finding some interesting sounds and the same options are at your fingertips.
Edit downloaded tracks and turn them into ringtones
It can actually be difficult to come up with a simpler method of cutting audio files than that offered by Ringtones Maker because all you have to do is pick a song then, by dragging two markers along its duration, you can set the start and end points.
To make precise selections, you can zoom and pan the loaded track using the touch gestures you are surely accustomed with from other apps. Also, renaming the edited audio file is at hand, right inside the editor screen.
Since there are no other further options for editing the selected bit of audio, like adding some enhancements or increasing the volume, the only thing that's left for you to do is save the file.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
This utility looks really nice and the only thing that spoils some of the fun of using it are the ever-present ad banners and prompts. |
Function8
The song database is rather limited, but the editing functions are easy to operate, while the search and download features are fast and responsive. |
Security7
A bit prying from the safety perspective, this application requires access into the phone and owner identities, as well as to the phone dialer, all for no good reason. |
Battery3
The substantial power consumption of the utility means that the battery will discharge very quickly, even on normal use. |
Price9
Considering what this app has to offer and the speed with which it gets the job done, it's safe to say that Ringtone Maker is a decent deal, except for the ads. |
Compatibility9
The number of users who can try this app is pretty large as it works on devices that are running Windows Phone 8 or higher. |
