### 5/5 — Kinda Perfect

*2025-05-13, version 2.2*

Very useful and practical, all while being unobtrusive.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2025-04-25*

Mutes ringer for phone and messages when your at a location in which you want your ringer silenced.

### 5/5 — Edit

*2024-10-04, version 2.1*

The app is great, it should have the option to edit the names. Thanks

### 5/5 — Apple Convert!

*2023-05-05*

I have been using iPhone now for 6+ months and have been searching for a reliable phone muting app for probably the first 2 months: and then I came to Auto Mute!  Auto Mute exceeded my expectations for a muting app! 
I highly recommend this appdor those that revisit places and news their phone muted. 
Kudos Auto Mute!

### 2/5 — Like the app BUT……

*2022-03-02*

I know that this app is free, but I would pay for this app if it worked properly.
I really liked this app because it does what it supposed to do, for the most part. You set it up so that it lower or mutes the volume when you are in specific areas and it works beautifully. However, it seems to be unable to reset the volume back to normal when you are not in those areas. So when you want the phone or alarms to ring, it doesn’t and this means that you miss calls, reminders etc. I’ve tried to work with this app for many years and thought that it was my iPhone that kept going wrong, but it wasn’t the iPhone, it was this app. I just got a new iPhone and hadn't put the app back on yet for several weeks. Phone was working fine but as soon as I put the app on it started missing calls, reminders etc. So as much as I like what this app is supposed to do, I am going to permanently delete it from my phone. I would rather be embarrassed while I'm sitting in church when my phone rings, rather than missing a reminder, meetings or important phone calls, and I have the confidence to know that my phone will ring when it supposed to ring.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-12-17, version 2.1*

Exactly as described. This app makes life easier.

### 3/5 — Stopped working

*2021-12-09*

I purchased this app about 2 years ago. Initially I was very happy with it as it did what was promised. It muted and unmuted based on my settings. Now it mutes when I enter places it’s set to mute but does not unmute when I leave the location.

### 1/5 — Trash!

*2020-08-10, version 2.1*

This app is clunky and is a complete disaster! I am requesting an immediate refund for the 1.99 used to purchase this app that does not work as stated.

### 5/5 — Useful and Accurate

*2020-01-08, version 2.1*

This is genius and should be built into iOS!
