Please allow this, btw I tried the suggested fix that claims or already exists, however, it doesn't work. Will probably have to find alternative app for that reason.

The ability to have individual ringtones for each user already exists, but Chomp doesn't take the ringtones from the device's contact settings. Each contact must be set up individually in Chomp and it isn't obvious to the new user how to do so (and I think it's changed in the short time I've been using Chomp). I suppose it would be nice to have an option for Chomp to automatically apply the phone's settings for each contact stored on the device. In the mean time, here is how you currently set up individualized ringtones in Chomp:
1. If you do not yet have a conversation thread with the contact of interest, text them so you do.
2. From the Conversations screen, long press on the contact of choice and press "Notifications".
3. Press "Ringtone".
4. Now you see the options that are available. Choose either "Ringtones" or "Music" for a list of the tones on your phone.
5. Select the ringtone you want. You will have to know what the ringtone sounds like based on the file name (since there does not appear to be a way to hear a sample of the sound within Chomp).

Please make this an option. I'm probably going back to go sms for this reason

Already implemented, read documents.

That is a great feature I wish I could have right now on this app.

Seems silly that my stock sms app can do it but this app can't.

A definite must. The sooner the better.
