What's new in SMS Sounds 4.0.4
Editor's review
Download the latest SMS Sounds application, version 4.0.4, compatible with Windows 10/11 (using emulators such as Bluestacks), Android devices. This free Communication app is developed by EM and is easy to download and install.
Previous versions, including 4.0.4, are also available. If you need help or have any problems, please let us know.
Description
*Some phones do not allow the color of the LED light to be altered. We cannot guarantee this app will allow you to change its color.
Steps for using SMS Sounds:
1. Turn off the default ringtone in the Messaging app. Run the Messaging app. Click Menu > Settings > Select ringtone > Silent. If you can disable vibrations in the Messaging settings, we recommend you do that also as the app now features vibrations. If not, go to Settings > Sounds > Vibration > Never.
2. Tap the “+” and setup your contacts with their own custom notifications. You can edit them at any time by tapping on the contact in the home screen (be sure to click save before exiting the screen).
3. Tap the "s" and setup the default notification sounds you had to disable in step 1 for the app to work properly.
FYI:
This version includes all the features of the paid version. However, to keep the app free we've included a banner ad as well as an interstitial ad upon exiting the app. This will help us keep the app compatible with all future versions of Android. Please purchase the paid version if you like the app and do not want the ads.
FAQ’s:
Q: Why does the ringtone keep playing until I answer it?
A: Some ringtone files are set to loop endlessly. You can check this when you are in the ringtone picker. Select a tone and if it continues to ring over and over, it will also loop when you receive an SMS. The best thing for you to do is create or pirate your own sound files that do not loop and set them for your contacts.
Q: Why am I unable to assign a contact group a tone?
A: We promote individualism and do not support group tones at this time.
Q: Why do I get two notifications for every SMS text I receive?
A: This common problem occurs when you have a notification tone set in the Messaging app you use. You will need to set the sound to silent by going into the Messaging app then click menu to go to the Settings > Select Ringtone > Set as Silent. Don’t ask me how to shut them off for other custom applications, I didn’t develop them and I certainly don’t recommend them!
Q: My ringtones stopped working!
A: Try restarting your phone or going into the app to uncheck and recheck the "Tones Enabled?" box.
Q: Why do you need all those permissions?
A: That is the only way the application can recognize who an incoming text is coming from and to determine if you have a ringtone assigned to that number. We absolutely do NOT collect contacts or message information!

4 ★ Had a bit of trouble figuring out how to make it work with my Moto e but it does work. I like knowing who a text is from by the individual tone before I even pick up the phone.
5 ★ I been searching forever for a simple app that sets custom text tones for each contact. Awesome!! Thank youuuuuuu!!
5 ★ Mmetisha kudadekiiiiiii
5 ★ Love it. Its a simple way a maje different ring tones for texting
1 ★ Setting different sounds for different contacts does't work. 0/10.
5 ★ very helpfull app
5 ★ One of the best
4 ★ After the fiasco with GO SMS, I tried other SMS apps to customize ringtones for each contact. Nothing worked perfectly, so I'm using the stock SMS app alongside this app, and it's the best set-up so far. Uses a lot of battery.
4 ★ Works great. My Android 4.1 jelly bean phone had problem with LED light won't stop flashing. I found that if you pull down notification bar (like checking for notifications) then release bar. Lights STOP flashing. On my phone pulling down notification bar also will silence a long text tone so you don't have to listen to the entire tone or song that you assigned to your contact.
4 ★ Used to use SMS popup but it did double notification and this one avoids that. Don't need a fancy popup anyway. I just want to use the stock messaging app but need to assign different tones to each of my contacts' texts. No fancy bells and whistles and I don't need anything more than that. It's minimal, relatively small memory footprint, and does what it's supposed to do.
3 ★ The sounds repeat incessantly. I have had to turn off all notification sounds. Not sure if this is the app or my Galaxy S3. The app keeps bugging me to add custom sounds.
2 ★ A really nice idea, simple but not that efficient. Not working 100% of time. Time to times we get default sound instead of the prefered one. Also, would be nice to set sound group specific (like starred...) Hope to have a fix soon :)
1 ★ Doesn't work 100% it will start to play the music tone and the default cuts it off
5 ★ This is the first sms sound app I've found that doesn't need every single permission. Ty for not being nosey.
1 ★ I have to reinstall this EVERY time I reboot.
