★★★★★
The best alternative If your phone doesnt include the feature of different ringtones per group then this app is what you are seeking!! The only reason I am not giving it a five star is because when you add a new member to a group it does not automatically changes the ringtone, an update of the group is needed
★★★★★
Works great. Easy to use. I've tried others, but this is simplest/best. I really enjoy it. It works really well. The only downside is that you have to select the ringtone before you can see which contacts are actually a part of that specific group. I have multiple gmail accounts on my phone with separate contacts in each (personal, work, school) and each of them are called "My Contacts." So there are four different "My Contacts" groups. So it takes a couple tries to figure out which account is which. My only suggestion would be to label which account the "My Contacts" list is linked to.
★★★★★
great app It would be perfect if the names inside the groups (after choosing the appropiate ringtone) would appear in alphabetical order, that way you could choose easier which contacts, if any, to remove from the group. Great app, I highly recommend it.
★★☆☆☆
Blocked calls The app blocked all calls to my mobile routing them instead to voicemail.
★★☆☆☆
Could be much better, too glitchy I like assigning lots of goofy ringtones to individuals and groups and this works but is too buggy to bother with. It displays a number instead of sound file name after assigning a ringtone and doesn't assign the tone to new additions to a group.
★★☆☆☆
Totally messed my phone's ringtone settings. The app works ok but when you change your mind and want to uninstall it you can never change your ringtone again. Apparently there is some cache that does not get deleted and makes the change of the ringtone impossible after you uninstall this app.
★★☆☆☆
Great concept and app idea But it doesn't work. It doesn't set the ringtone to all the contacts in the group I selected....
★★☆☆☆
I think the duplicate contacts are making a damn mes try to solve the issie

Trust & Safety: The app requests access to Contacts and Call Logs (READ_CALL_LOG, WRITE_CALL_LOG, READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS) to assign group-based ringtones. This is necessary for its core function but warrants careful review of privacy practices. The developer notes indicate the app is not ProGuarded (not_obfuscated), which can affect security auditing and code protection. Users should grant permissions thoughtfully and rely on trusted sources.
