When I exit the app and turn the volume back up with the side button, it immediately goes full volume. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2024-09-01* Bought the full version and it only limits the volume for a few seconds. Can easily be bypassed by using the volume sliders in other apps ### 1/5 — well i was duped *2024-08-14, version 1.0.2* installed the app worked perfectly. free app only allows the sound to be controlled for 5 minutes but it worked axactly as i wanted ever time i turned it on! so i paid for the pro version - so i coupd set it to never allow the sound to be truned up. hasnt worked even for the 5 minute setting again! so furious!!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-07-25* Bought this app and it does not work. So disappointed it will not stay set to keep the volume low. ### 2/5 — Hmm *2024-07-09* Works briefly, then my son can turn up the volume full blast when the app still says the limit is turned on. Use on iPhone and same happens, ridiculous ### 1/5 — Doesn’t stay locked *2024-07-07, version 1.0.2* It doesn’t stay locked with no way to contact customer support. Waste of 5$ ### 4/5 — Cannot restore my purchase *2024-06-23, version 1.0.2* Bought this years ago and it works for the most part, sometimes it doesn’t so I have go in and restart it and this irritates my grandson because he’s autistic. I think he learned the pw so I went in the app to change it and the next day it’s telling me that I don’t have the pro version anymore and when I click the restore purchase button nothing happens! Update: I deleted and reinstalled it and it seems to be restored to pro version. Updated to 4 stars from 2, will monitor it to see if it’s any better or worse. ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-06-15, version 1.0.2* I bought this app and even when I paid the volume comes back up! ### 1/5 — Paid for the Pro version *2024-05-31, version 1.0.2* Doesnt work. Volume still keep going up to max level. Please fix or refund my money! ### 1/5 — Pointless, volume can be overridden in YouTube etc *2024-05-19, version 1.0.2* Waste of money ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work on Spotify *2024-05-09, version 1.0.2* My child has ASD. She recently worked out that if she clicks on Spotify and increases the volume on the Spotify app, she can listen to music at a loud volume and when she clicks back to eg Netflix the high volume stays in place. I would be grateful if this glitch could be fixed as soon as possible. Thank you ### 1/5 — Keeps resetting *2024-03-31* Doesn’t work as advertised, keeps resetting despite app running and device not restarted. ### 3/5 — Umgehung der Sperre möglich *2024-03-05* Leider wird die Sperre ausgehebelt wenn die Lauter-Taste am iPad lange genug gedrückt wird. Dies hat unser beeinträchtigter Sohn leider rausgefunden und nutzt es intensiv ;-) Es wäre toll wenn dies vom Entwickler angepasst werden könnte, denn so ist die App für uns nur teilweise von Nutzen. Dann gibt es auch fünf Sterne. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-02-29* Yeah it’ll set the volume to what you want it to but all my kid has to do is go into the app she’s using and turn the volume up there! Total waste of 7 bucks! ### 2/5 — Funktioniert nur, wenn die App geöffnet ist *2024-02-26* Und bringt damit absolut gar nichts. Wenn das Kind die App schließt (was mein Autist tut, weil sie nicht „dahin gehört“), ist der Sinn der ganzen App schon wieder hinfällig. ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-02-13, version 1.0.2* I purchased the PRO version of this app for my autistic daughter who listens at max volume 24/7. Worked the first time I used it, then not again after that. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-23, version 1.0.2* This app continues to fail. Volume control stops working randomly. No support to assist. Would not recommend this app! ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-01-22, version 1.0.2* This app works for under 30 minutes, then I have to go back in and reset. Please fix ### 1/5 — Fatal *2024-01-16, version 1.0.2* No funciona ### 1/5 — Wast of money , not functioning *2024-01-08, version 1.0.2* Good, until my special needs son figured out how to turn the volume up and sweep out the app. This app is so bad elaborated. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Paid never worked *2025-06-02* Paid $8 never worked.. ### 1/5 — Wish I could get my money back *2025-05-22, version 1.0.2* The app keeps failing and repeating the volume back to not being on ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-02-19, version 1.0.2* I keep having to adjust the volume because the setting doesn’t remain retained! It’s so annoying and not worth 6 ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-12-27, version 1.0.2* Only works the first day ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-25, version 1.0.2* Doesn’t work. app has to be open in the background ,doesn’t hold memory after a minute or two contacting Apple to get refund This guy should be shut down ### 1/5 — Didn’t work!!!!! *2024-11-04, version 1.0.2* I paid for the pro version and it lasted for a minute then stopped working. I found another app that does work. Waste of money!!!!!! ### 1/5 — volume control *2024-10-28, version 1.0.2* i paid for the pro version and it doesnt keep the colume turned down 24/7 like it says it should. ### 1/5 — : ( *2024-10-06, version 1.0.2* No funciona es fake ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-09-28, version 1.0.2* Doesn’t work ### 1/5 — No good *2024-09-18, version 1.0.2* Does not work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — EJ *2023-11-01, version 1.0.2* Ej ### 5/5 — Nice app *2023-07-09, version 1.0.2* The app itself works as it intended to, but would be good to make it always in even if the power source is changing (when starting to charge it turns off automatically and vice versa). Thanks. ### 5/5 — Good app *2020-10-30, version 1.0.2* :) ### 5/5 — doesn’t work *2020-09-28* I just purchased this app and wished I had read all the reviews before doing so...you set it on a lower percentage volume, get out of app, go back in and it goes right back to volume 100%. Please fix this! You are selling fraud product! ### 5/5 — Does Not Work 🤬🤬 *2020-06-21* This app absolutely does not work!! I set the volume limit to 60% in the app, exit the app, and go right back in and see the limit is right back up to 100%! Every time it does the same exact thing. Am I missing something? ### 5/5 — Peace *2020-01-06* My grandson is 3 and has autism. He loves the iPad but has to have the volume at its highest. I found this app and set it at 50%. So far it has worked perfectly and saved my sanity. He has not turned the iPad off yet this morning, or changed apps so hopefully it continues to work the way it is right now. ### 5/5 — Not shareable *2019-09-03* The app works, which is a great thing especially since this is the 3rd app I’ve bought. The issue is that these apps work initially, but are quickly abandoned by the developer. My main issue is that the developer claims to have made this app for kids with special needs, but doesn’t allow you to share the app on thief device. It’s claimed to be an in app purchase. Seems like they are taking advantage of people. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2019-03-12, version 1.0.2* Downloaded this app for my kids iPads and it works great at controlling the volume. If they increase it too quickly it will go up but then bounces back to the loudest limit. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2019-01-14, version 1.0.2* Love this app for my daughter who always blasts her videos. I have listened to Daddy Shark and the Finger Family song for so many years at full volume. Thank you! ### 5/5 — A blessing if you have a special needs child. *2018-12-30* I found this app through a random google search for a solution to my special needs daughter always blasting her iPad and phone at full volume. In fact, I had contacted apple for a solution months ago, even had a case number - but was very disappointed by their response in doing nothing. This app has been a HUGE blessing. It has reduced stress or the rest of the family. A special note: Marcin, the app developer has been wonderful. His communication and clear direction on enabling across multiple devices has been a breath of fresh customer service air. Thank goodness for people like you :-) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
