Ringtones for WP8+ 1.0.0.0
One of the tools that is made just for this purpose is Ringtones for WP8+ and it offers quick access to an impressive database of ringtones you can listen to on the spot and keep on your Windows Phone powered handset.
Neatly structured GUI
The simple and clean layout is bent on functionality more than good looks, as everything is well organized and the various ringtone sections are always at hand for you to pick the ones you want to browse.
Navigating the lists of sounds in the numerous categories is done fluently, without any lags or faults. The commands are all neatly tucked inside the main menu shown in the lower side of the screen.
While going through Ringtones for WP8+ you will encounter a stream of continuously changing advertisements and there are some really irritating full screen ads that pop up at times.
The ads are accompanied at by prompts to rate the app or to try out other applications, but fortunately, the latter ones can be marked to never be shown again and then dismissed from view.
Check out popular sounds or search the whole collection
Ringtones for WP8+ has an area that features some sounds appreciated by numerous users and which might interest you, so it is well worth paying a visit to the "Popular" category. A more strict classification is presented under the "Categories" module, where all the tones are sorted by genre.
In case you do not fancy going through hundreds of sounds manually, by browsing the categories provided by this utility, there is a specialized search engine to ease your job and the results are displayed promptly.
Play and save ringtones on the go
Upon tapping one of the ringtones you will access the information related to that entry, which includes the number of views and how many times it was favorited by others.
You can also mark your preferred tracks and have them available from the "Favorites" section, while removing any entries from that area requires a long press on the target item.
The fact that the downloaded tracks are automatically send to the local music library is an advantage. You can also set a selected sound as the default ringtone directly from inside the app.
