## What is Volume Blocker and Limiter?

Updated for iOS 17.

The app allows you to impose a limit on the maximum volume of the iPhone / iPad.

Your kid always plays video at full volume? It's not a problem anymore! From today, YOU control the iPhone/iPad's speaker volume, not your child!
Get back to a quiet home with peaceful kids by protecting their ears (and yours!).

This is the ONLY app able to limit the volume on iOS 17, and is also the simplest volume manager!
This app works in the background.

Warning: the volume limit only works while this app is still open in the background, if your child knows how to kill this app, it won't work. This app works better on younger kids.

The application has been specially designed for parents of children with Autism Spectrum, Asperger, ADHD, Down Syndrome & other development delays or sensory issues.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-03-24, version 1.6.0*

Excellent app! Thank you

### 5/5 — Worked for a short time

*2026-02-25*

Stopped working after 2 weeks. App was always running in the background too

Deleted the app and relaunched several times and it works 25% of the time.   Very frustrated

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for your feedback.

I have fixed this issue in the latest version, please update your app and it should be good!
I'm glad this app can help you and your kid.

Have a great day,

Rayane

### 3/5 — Only get 2min free

*2026-02-15*

The thought of this app is AMAZING! My toddler is Autistic and believes what she is watching needs to be so loud that everyone around can hear. We are getting ready to fly and I need a way to keep her from doing that on the plane. The reason for the 3 stars is because 2 minutes (literally) is not enough to test the app out to see if it will fit my needs before paying the fees for more time. It would be more fair if people were allotted 1 day free trial to give it a fair chance prior to being forced into paying the fees. I am very hesitant to keep this app simply because of the time given isn’t reasonable to truly test the app and ensure it will meet our needs. This is a fantastic idea, just need a free trial period that isn’t 2 minutes. If a 1 day free trial period comes along then I will be more then happy to give 5 stars because of that alone.

**Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your comment !

There is actually a free trial in the pro version, you can cancel at any time, without engagement. SO you will be able to try out the app for a few days before taking a decision. I hope It makes your life quieter, good luck with your kid 🙏

### 2/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-12-11, version 1.6.0*

My special needs daughter turns it off constantly.  I have to re set it multiple times a day.  Don’t waste  your  money it doesn’t do what it promises.  I want a refund .

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2025-12-07, version 1.6.0*

This app is exactly the solution I needed for my son’s iPad.

### 1/5 — Limite de 2 minutos no Gratuito

*2025-10-21, version 1.6.0*

Ridículo limitar em 2 minutos o uso. Tem que abrir de novo e só dura 2 minutos. Deveria ser totalmente pago ou deixar 1 hora na versão gratuita.

### 2/5 — Bom

*2025-10-09, version 1.5.4*

Seria perfeito se tivesse ao menos 1 hora liberado no gratuito para não precisar ficar entrando no app a casa 2min e se tivesse para vínculo com a televisão

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2025-10-03, version 1.5.4*

This is so helpful!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-09-30, version 1.5.4*

Skip it

### 1/5 — Didn’t work

*2025-09-30, version 1.5.4*

My 3 year old figured out how to make it turn up through YouTube kids within 2 minutes 🤦🏻‍♀️ was working great and he started messing with the YouTube volume on the YouTube app and at first it was doing what it was suppose to but as he kept turning it up on the app and holding it there it somehow went full volume again.
