## What is Swift Volume?

Swift Volume allows you to control your volume based on your speed. Designed for athletes or any speed junkie that wants to hear their music while they're cruising and still be able to hear their surroundings or have a conversation when they stop. 

You simply set your desired low speed volume, high speed volume and the speed at that the volume changes at. 

Notes: 
-We don't store or collect any of your location information
-The app uses your Location Services solely to determine your speed. Location Services can dramatically decrease your battery level
-When the app is running in the background and a volume change is triggered, the HUD volume display appears on screen (a requirement of iOS)
-This app is intended for use outdoors. Swift Volume requires GPS to determine velocity & GPS doesn't work well indoors.

## Key features

- Speed-based volume adjustment
- Set custom low and high speed volumes
- Define volume change speed threshold
- Background operation
- GPS-based speed detection

### 5/5 — Perfect for Boats!

*2024-06-23, version 1.8*

I have never left an app review, but this one deserves it. Some boats have a system like this built in to them but ours doesn’t and this solved the problem! Not to mention it’s a much cheaper fix than installing the system!

### 5/5 — Great for motorcycles !!!

*2024-05-20, version 1.8*

I’ve been using this app for 3-4 years now on every ride I take. Alway works great, never have connection or volume problems. Perfect for hearing other cars/emergency vehicles around me at stops but rocking out to songs at 60mph

### 5/5 — Simple. Works.

*2023-06-02, version 1.8*

Great for boating!

### 5/5 — Amazing app, works very well

*2022-02-26, version 1.8*

Works right off the bat, took 2-3 runs with adjusting it to my preferences and I was set.

### 5/5 — Awesome for water sports!

*2021-07-19, version 1.8*

Works like a dream. When you are up to full speed it’s loud enough for your rider. Then when you stop it isn’t blowing everyone in the boat out. Thanks!!

### 5/5 — Love it, telling all my friends about it.

*2020-12-21, version 1.8*

Works great. Set my trigger speed so that the volume is low when I’m on the chairlifts and turns up as I’m riding. Also use it mountain biking.

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2020-08-20, version 1.8*

Works well without Bluetooth device but can’t control volume from iPhone on my Bluetooth stereo therefore it can’t change the volume when moving

### 5/5 — Must have for a boat

*2020-08-14, version 1.8*

Works great, thanks for making this app!

### 4/5 — Great start

*2020-03-11, version 1.8*

It’s a great beginning version of the app. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The only reason it’s not 5 stars is because I believe it needs the option to add a buffer or a wait time before the music began to decrease. If you stop to find your line, the music will be quiet right before you drop when you need to be hyped most. Aside from that it’s great

### 4/5 — Suggestion to make this app even better

*2020-03-03, version 1.8*

I got this app on the day it was released and have used it pretty much every day since. 
I commute from Surrey into london on a Motorbike and use the app to lower volume in my earpiece navigation/audio when I drop speeds at traffic lights etc.

I would like to see an update with a second speed trigger so that I could have 3 volume stages.
i.e. 50% volume under 10mph, 
75% volume under 44 mph 
and 100% over 45 mph. 
This would create the perfect volumes for static traffic, city driving and motorways.
