Ringtones 3.2.0.0
Windows Phone users who want their handsets to sound a bit different from the rest can try Ringtones, a utility that brings a lot of new audio tracks cut to be used as base sounds for incoming voice calls.
Dull and unattractive look
This app is sure to not win any beauty contests as it comes with a completely unappealing interface, lacking any elements of graphical design that could be deemed as attractive.
The content doesn't have any organized structuring other than a simple categorization of the contained ringtones, which are stacked inside several sections with relevant titles.
There are some really annoying full screen advertisements that come into view as soon as the utility is launched and even before you come to meet them, some reminders to rate and review the app pop up.
Most unfortunate is the fact that these prompts cannot be deactivated even if you tap the button meant to disable them permanently.
Go through the ringtone collection and find the sounds to keep
The application has a few areas already filled with sounds that might interest you, so it is well worth paying a visit to the "Favorites", "Best" and "Popular"categories to check out the most appreciated tunes of the moment.
In case you do not fancy going through hundreds of sounds manually, by browsing the categories provided by Ringtones, there is a specialized search engine to ease your job. The results appear quite promptly and you can easily select the audio files you want to check out.
Listen to the sounds and save them onto your phone
When selecting any entry from the list, a set of large buttons will appear in a new screen, allowing you to manage that item by offering you the commands to play, stop or set the respective audio as your default ringtone.
The download is carried out very quickly and you can simply save the sound with a custom name and have it include in your music library and at a later time use it as a ringtone or alert sound if you see fit.

Bottom Line
Design / UI2
This utility's main drawback is the interface, as it doesn't have any kind of appeal to it and is plagued by annoying adverts and prompts. |
Function7
There are quite a few items in store for users to go through and the operation is very easy, but there are some misses that make it lose some points. |
Security6
A bit prying from the safety perspective, this application requires access into several system areas for no good reason. |
Battery4
The amount of power needed by Ringtones to run is high at all times and the battery drainage is much accentuated on prolonged use. |
Price8
Searching, playing and saving audio files are free, but getting rid of the annoying adverts will require a payment. |
Compatibility9
Any user who has a Windows Phone 8 or higher at hand can take this utility for a spin, as it doesn't need anything else. |
