No more large steps that caused the sound to be to low or to loud and no in between. Nice and very affordable. Thank you ### 5/5 — Precision volume control *2025-01-11* The minimum volume on my iPad is too high for listening to music before I fall asleep. This simple app solves this by providing granular volume control. My only suggestion to enhance this further would be Ito enable users to create their own volume presets for added convenience but it works just fine as it is. ### 5/5 — Does What It Says *2025-01-01* It’s always refreshing when an app does exactly what it says. Now I’m in control. I can mute completely with two taps on the way into a meeting. Then switch to standard on the way out. I even have a preset for low volume when a room is especially quiet. Less hassle, less loud ads suddenly blaring from my phone while I’m sneaking in a game. ### 5/5 — Love Volume Control *2024-12-23* Trying to increase and decrease volume by the buttons on the left of the screen is cumbersome and awkward. If I’m not hitting the optional button, I’m taking a screen shot. This is the best buck I’ve ever spent. ### 5/5 — Brilliant. *2024-12-22* High-resolution volume control. 1000 steps instead of the 20 Apple gives us. I use it to get whisper sound in quiet environments. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-01-04* Headphone volume cannot be reduced ### 1/5 — Does not make quieter *2025-12-24* 0.1% is still extremely loud for my wired headphones ### 1/5 — Not working for me *2025-10-27* This doesn’t work for me. As I change the number in the app, the volume usually stays the same, then jumps when it hits a certain number. It’s the same effect as using the phone’s built in volume control where there are only large increments of volume. I’m on iOS 18.6.2 **Developer response:** Hi, that should not happen. Are you using any external ear/head phones or speakers? If so can you check if problem occurs when using just the iPhone/iPad speaker. If so, can you send us an email to support@splinterware.com - we will investigate further. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work for me *2025-06-29* I wanted to get a lower volume through my earbuds connected to my iPad. It made no difference. **Developer response:** Hello. That sounds strange, so through your earbuds even if you turned the Volume up to 100% or down to 0% it made no difference, there was no change in volume at all? We've not heard of that happening before, but if you send us a support email through the app we would like to explore the problem with you. ### 3/5 — Makes no difference *2025-03-07, version 1.03* The app appears to have fine adjustments but the actual output level only changes at certain points in line with the iPhone volume button increments. ### 4/5 — Good app *2025-03-17, version 1.03* Nice app allowing fine grained volume control. Feature request: ability to add this as a Widget to iPhone Lock Screen ### 5/5 — Life saver *2026-07-27* Controlling the volume so finely lets you lower or raise the music to the perfect level that you want when you need to chillax. The default system volume increments are jarring to my ears. This is the perfect solution!! Thank U ❣️ ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-05-31* Nice app allowing fine grained volume control. Developer implemented my feature request: ability to add this as a Widget to iPhone Lock Screen **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion. Version 1.13 added the Widget option, so you can add it to your lock screen. ### 5/5 — Perfect fine control. *2026-05-17* Does exactly what it claims and does it very well. As a slider it has much better resolution than the control panel slider enabling much finer control. Also has + and - buttons with selectable increments down to 0.1% per push. Well worth the money. Huge improvement. ### 5/5 — Love *2026-02-25* Easy. Straight to the point. Works best!! So glad I found it now I can watch TikTok without waking up my husband and putting it on mute lol ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Does its job. No fuss. *2026-01-17* Reasonable one-time purchase price of $1.99 for no ads, and has as fine as 0.1% volume increments. ### 5/5 — Excellent volume control and easy to use. *2025-08-24* I always found that the volume control on the iPhone and iPad wasn't sensitive enough. This is great, has settings for a very small increase volume and you can get a low volume to set at night when you want to fall asleep to a gentle murmur. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-08-11* An absolutely great and useful app. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Suggestion *2025-07-12* Possible to add this into control center or maybe as a widget for quick access. Aside from that app works great. **Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion. A widget has been added to the latest version. ### 5/5 — Useful App *2025-04-13* Provides a way of making finer adjustments to the sound level on the iPhone. I have found that it is essential to use a genuine Apple usb-c or lightning adapter when using wired headphones, as with a third-party connector the volume steps become even larger and this app is unable to work. ### 5/5 — Useful App *2025-04-13, version 1.03* Provides a way of getting a more gradual volume control. In my first review I was critical as I had found it unhelpful on the iPhone. However I discovered that with wired headphones it is important to use a genuine Apple USB-C adapter as fine volume adjustment is not possible with many third party ones. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
