Description

Create ringtones with your own customized Morse Code messages. Don't bore people with yet another pop tune blaring from your phone. Be different... retro-tech. Communicate. Or just hide really funny messages in your ringtones for "special" people (be they your best friends or your worse enemies). Only other Alpha-geeks will understand. You can email your new Morse Code ringtone file to yourself or a friend, and use iTunes on a Mac or PC to install the ringtone file to your iPhone. Using a Mac, simply connect your iPhone, wait until it appears in the File browser, and drag-and-drop the new ringtone file to the icon of your device. This app allows pasting your new Morse Code ringtone sound directly into an iOS GarageBand track, thus allowing one to create a ringtone directly on a iOS device, without having to Sync with iTunes. (Note that using GarageBand on iOS to install a ringtone is not a simple one-step process. GarageBand requires a user to navigate and find several obscure looking buttons over multiple steps in order to create and install a new ringtone.) Once the new ringtone file is on your iPhone, you can use the Settings app in order to select your new custom ringtone. With Morse Code Ringtone Maker, you can customize the text and the Morse Code/CW speed (combined up to 30 seconds), as well as the the tone frequency. The Words-Per-Minute (WPM) speed is variable from 5 to 40 WPM. The tone frequency is customizable from 300 to 1200 Hz. On the customization page, you can additionally configure Farnsworth timing where the dots and dashes for each letter come even faster than the WPM of the letters. For different timbres, select Sinewaves, Square-waves or Triangle-waves for your tone sound.

  • Instructions out of date

    I first used this app a few years ago and the instructions for using it with Garage Band were good. Since then, Garage Band has been changed a lot and the instructions are no longer useable. I managed to add a new ringtone using instructions available in the second of two links given on the Morse Ringtone web site. Even that didn’t work exactly as shown. But after a lot of trial and error, I managed to add a new Morse code ringtone. I can not recommend this app at all since the average person can not use it based on the instructions required. If you are willing to invest an hour or so googling how to use Garage Band to access a file created by this app you might be able to get it to work after a lot of trial and error.

    No longer works with iOS 13.7. GarageBand rejects paste

  • Misleading to advertise it as a ringtone maker

    It’s an audio file maker for morse from text. Turning that into a ringtone is a whole different story and is definitely not within the capabilities of the application. Grossly misleading description to say the least. Just be aware that you will have to do some acrobatics to use any output from this app as a ringtone. Also, when the 5-star reviews include 7 step convoluted procedures to turn that audio file into a ringtone, something’s up. Make your own judgement on that.

  • Waste of $3.00

    When using this app it’ll transfer your ringtone to Garage Band but then it’s grayed out so you can’t do anything with the file.

  • Not What I Hoped

    Program was a disappointment. Installed on my iPhone X. Things that won’t work... Trying to email ringtone the send button stays disabled Importing created ringtone into Garage Band app is a nightmare. No communication between apps. Gave up after many tries. Even though the is only a few dollars, don’t waste your money on this one!

    Step1) email your CW ring tone 2)control click on the “play bar icon” in the email & choose “save to Downloads Folder” 3) connect iPhone/open iTunes & open device 4) drag .m4r file from Downloads over the section (in iTunes) below your iPhone that says “On My Device” & drop it in “Tones” 5)Open settings on your iPhone & go to “Sounds & Haptics” and choose your CW ring tone!!!! 73 de KY9I

  • Worked just fine

    The technique for getting the ringtones into the phone is a little roundabout. But, I suspect that has more to do with iOS than with the app itself. I found that the inter word spacing worked out better if I added a space at the end of the text for the ringtone.

  • Yes, this works as advertised.

    This is my first app review. I was leery of spending the money on this give the negative reviews, but I took the plunge. The app works exactly as advertised, and the directions are quite clear and concise. I used the GarageBand method rather than iTunes, and found it easy and fast. If you can follow directions, and you’re capable of basic iPhone operations, this is a piece of cake. Really cool app if you’re a CW junkie like I am!

  • A pain to create a ringtone

    The Morse code generating part of the app is OK. But the effort it takes to get the audio file set up as a ringtone is ridiculous. Even the guys at the Genius Bar had no idea how to do it. If you want to spend $3 bucks for this app that should cost 99 cents, then this is how you do it. Create the audio file using this app. Then email it to a computer that you have iTunes installed. Download the file. Move it to your music folder. Add it to your ringtone library. Then sync your iPhone. Then you should see the ringtones on your iPhone. REALLY? That’s ridiculous!

  • Works great!

    I had no problems creating a ringtone on my iPhone 7 Plus running iOS 11.3. Garage Band is required, but once you figure it out, it works great.
