Developed by Phonitive, Ringbuilder is an iPhone app that lets you create custom ringtone right from iPhone. From my test, it works pretty well and you can create ringtone in a fast and easy way.
To create your own ringtone, after launching the app, you can simply tap on the “+” button. Ringbuilder will automatically show all the songs available on your iPhone. Simply pick the one you want to create as ringtone and you will be brought to an interface for creating ringtone. As you play back the track, tap “Start” and “Stop” button to select the part of song as ringtone. Just make sure the short clip is not longer than 30 seconds.
Once the Ringbuilder saves the ringtone, you are almost done. The next step is to transfer the ringtone back to your computer and sync the ringtone back to iPhone using iTunes.
To transfer the ringtone you just created, tap on the “Get my ringtones” and turn on “Wifi Sync”. The app will show you a link.
Go back to your computer and type in that link in your browser. You can access the ringtone saved by Ringbuilder. Click on the ringtone and download it. Simply open the file and iTunes will automatically import it into the ringtone library.
That’s it. The final step is to sync the ringtone to your iPhone.
Why Need to Transfer Ringtone back to Computer
Quite a number of users wondered why we can’t save the ringtone directly on iPhone and it takes several steps to transfer the ringtone back and forth. That’s not the problem of the app but it’s a restriction of Apple. App developers are not allowed to save the custom ringtone directly into iPhone. That’s the reason why you need to transfer the custom ringtone from the app back to computer and then sync it back to iPhone.
Overall, Ringbuilder is very easy to use and works as advertised. For just US$0.99, you get an app to create custom ringtone for your iPhone. Go ahead and download it!
