## What is Volume Limit Control?

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

Do you have a child who always plays video at full blast? This is not a problem anymore! From today, YOU control your iPhone/iPad's speaker volume, not your child!

Volume Limit is the only parental volume manager that works with iOS 12!

The app works by monitoring the background noise. In loud spaces, the app allows to increase the volume limit a little bit above the set value. In quiet rooms, it sticks with defined value. The app requires access to a microphone. The app can work in the background.
