RingToneMaker Pro Review

The clue is in the name when it comes to RingToneMaker Pro, it's an app that creates ringtones for your iPhone. Load the app, choose a song and a 10-30 second segment of it, then at the touch of one button, it's created. Then it's a simple matter of connecting your iPhone to iTunes and a couple of clicks of cut and paste. Voila, one new ringtone. No more suffering that damn Marimba or Piano tune.

As you can see from the screenshots, there really isn't much to look at with RingToneMaker Pro, it's all very functional. Its unique selling point is in its ability to adjust the pitch and playback speed. This can make for some entertaining ringtones. You can make any song you like sound like Barry White is singing it, or you can make it sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks' are strutting their stuff. Admittedly after fiddling around with the settings, I still ended up sticking with the original version of the song. But it's nice to have the option and I'm sure others would be keen to have a silly sounding ringtone.

It's all quite simple but works for the most part. There's even a link to a handy video tutorial so that it's obvious what you need to do via iTunes. The only real irritant is that you can't easily preview the song. You can once it's completed and saved of course but there's no way of doing it on the fly. It would have been very useful if you could tell where you were in the song rather than simply having to guess the correct timings.

Other than that, RingToneMaker Pro does exactly what the name suggests. Sure you could do it yourself for free via the PC/Mac but using this method is much quicker and simpler. If you're someone who likes switching ringtones regularly and fancy hearing your songs in an entirely different light then this is well worth a look.
