Ringdroid review
The original Android ringtone app, Ringdroid turns audio clips into personalized ringtones that can identify callers or your own phone in a crowd. Features like tap-to-edit and quick Contacts association make it easy to use on the go. Recently updated, Ringdroid v2.6 is still open source, free, and ad-free.
Pros
Easy to use: Ringdroid displayed MP3, WAV, AAC, and other files from our library on launch; we just had to tap one, edit it, name it, and add a Contact to create a working ringtone.
Familiar editing method: Ringdroid uses the spectral display common to desktop sound editors, and touch controls make it easier to handle on smaller screens.
Custom ringtones: To create custom ringtones to identify regular callers, just tap Contacts while saving a new ringtone.
Tips and more: Ringdroid offers frequent tips (like transferring tunes to your SD Card via USB) plus the kind of support only available from active, long-running open source projects.
Cons
Annoy your friends: We had no problems with Ringdroid, but your friends and family might, if you create annoying or inappropriate ringtones for them. Even the best ringtones become cloying after a while, but Ringdroid makes fixes quick.
Out of style: Personalized and customized ringtones aren't as popular as they once were (see above).
Bottom Line
Good ringtones are essential, and tools like Ringdroid remind us of why we're big fans of open source freeware on any platform.
