Ringtones in a Tag Cloud
This native iPhone app allows users to browse a Core Data powered database through a 3D tag cloud. A more classic list view is also provided. The iPhone app allows users to set their e-mail address and it posts requests for ringtones to a web component. The web app will send the email and return the result to the iPhone App. This all happens in a handful of seconds.
Toneaphone, LLC is one of the greatest and most unique mobile media companies you’ll find out there. They are the first company in the App Store to compose original songs as ringtones, feature corresponding Album Artwork, and have created a vast collection of over 100 original ringtones to choose from, of all genres.
The iPhone native app Surgeworks designed and developed had about 200 downloads in the first week, and was positively received by bloggers and reviewers on YouTube. It also got about a dozen five star reviews on the App Store and got ranked 30th in Italy for the Entertainment category in the same time frame.
If you are using an iPod Touch, the web component will recognize that and will send the link to an MP3 file instead, that users can add to their iTunes Music Library and use as a ringtone on any recent mobile phone.
Surgeworks also created a simple screencast video and packaged it into the app to show users how to get the ringtone and synch it to the iPhone, since the process involves using iTunes and eMail on a desktop computer.

Well worth the money!!! by Grovehurdler
This application was pretty surprising to me. I couldn’t believe I could get so many ringtones for 2 bucks!!!! I like the fact that they are original and there a so many different music types. Once I found the ring tones I liked it was pretty straight forward to get them loaded. I would highly recommend this application.
