Super handy Volume Control App
A terrific little AP that I’ve made use of whilst working from home.
Whilst working I have music playing from my iPad and now I control my iPad’s volume, remotely. So good.
If I had a “Feature Request” it would be for volume “+” and “-“ buttons at either end of the Volume slider. That’d be awesome.

It’s good but not great
So all other devices also have to have this app, which is fine. But if you don’t have the app open on the other device and your own it will not connect and work which is ridiculous… i like it for my young children and having it be open all the time is redundant of the app because they mess with it or close it out and now i no longer have control ALSO after so long it has to be refreshed and reloaded back into which ever option you chose which again is redundant to the purpose! So i wouldn’t recommend the app since you have to pay for it… it’s working capacity is something that should be free.

Buy a bluetooth media button instead
I’ve been using this app for a months but lately it seems like the ipad side is constantly unable to reinitialize after waking up. I have to get up and foreground the app to get it to receive every time. I finally decided to purchase a bluetooth media button from Amazon instead. Love it. A much more reliable and convenient way to remote control the ipad.

Pointless
Absolutely pointless app. I have to keep closing the app on both phone and iPad to get it to work. Doesn’t stay connected so I still manually turn down the iPad when I close the app making it completely useless. Waste of money. I’d zero star it if I could.
Junk
This is a total joke. I have to manually connect the two devices every time I want to use it. Try taking an iPad from a 5 year old to put it into receive mode so I can turn the volume down. Yes I know, I just turn the volume down without the useless app!
Let me be clear.. this App works Perfectly
At night I like to watch some streaming TV on my iPad Pro because it gets me sleepy. But I don't like to get up to pause or mute the show when I'm about to fall asleep because the blood rush from getting up takes away my sleepiness.
So I found this app but I was weary because it looks old and the reviews were mixed. I took a chance and let me be clear, it works perfectly. Exactly what it says it does, it does. I installed it on my iPad and iPhone. Set one to receive and voila. It controls the volume exactly as described. Should be 5-Stars but people don't read the description and expect it to do things that it's not designed to do. (1 star for my car that can't feed my horse or bake me a pizza)

Easy Peasy
I use this app to control the volume of another iPad streaming music to my home stereo. Works great, simple to set up.
Garbage
Would not recommend. No trial version. Only for Apple. Give me a refund as the iPad is the only Apple product in my home. Another reason why I can’t stand Apple.
Does not work.
It does not run in the background with any other app (eg YouTube). You need to keep this app open all the time which does not make sense because you cannot run another at the same time. Also even if you keep it open the connection breaks frequently.
Exactly what i wanted.
GREAT APP. dont listen to other reviewers u can control the volume when u back out of the volume control app to use a different app (youtube,netflix, etc.) as long as you don’t fully close the app. works great no complaints A+
Perfect
Works perfectly to remotely mute or adjust the volume on our iPad Pro when we are streaming television or YouTube.
Exactly what I wanted
I wanted to control my iPad volume with my iPhone. Installed this app on both devices. Set the iPad to receive and the iPhone to control. Works perfect. Took 2 seconds to set up. Thank you!
Works to control volume on iPad from iPhone
Worked exactly as described, and was very easy to set up.
It would be twice as good if it were accessible from the lock screen, or my phone’s Control Center so it’s easier to control the app without unlocking the phone and getting to the app.
I am using this to control my iPad that I keep hardwired into my vintage hifi stereo. I also have a Bluetooth adapter connected to the stereo and I can use the iPad that way too and just keep it relatively close to the Bluetooth receiver/adapter. Either wayI can roam around the house with my phone without worrying about losing connection to the Bluetooth because this app works over the wifi not Bluetooth. I also can control my Spotify on my iPad from my iPhone over wifi (this is native to Spotify), so between Spotify, a more or less dedicated iPad, my old stereo system and this app I have something that works similar to a Sonos set up. It’s definitely a bit of a work around though.

Useless App...
In order for this whole thing to work, you must have this app running on all the devices you want to control. Which makes the whole purpose of this app pointless... Example: you’re in one room doing some work and can’t interrupt, or simply resting on a couch, and you decide to control volume on your other device (iPad), which happen to be in other room with some TV show playing. Well, you CAN’T. Unless you knew you will be using the app and opened it in advance. So, basically, if I have to walk up to the device to open the app to be able to change the volume, I can easily change it without the app..., blah blah, this app is useless, even for $1.

Won’t stay connected
I was trying to find a way to mute commercials while using the Sling TV app in my iPad. I can connect to my iPad and control the volume initially, but once I go into the sling app it disconnects and no longer works. One star until they fix it.
Works as described
The app works exactly as described. I’m using it to control my iPad volume remotely as it’s streaming Amazon Music and iHeart Radio over Bluetooth to my A/V receiver. And it’s a dollar, no idea why the bad reviews.
Good enough
This works well where nothing else I found would. I haven’t used it enough to see if there’s any issues between apps or disconnecting. If any issues are minor I’ll update it to 4 star and if it was a widget I’d give it 5 stars.
Good idea but....
Great idea but you have to keep putting it into receiver mode on the other device so not really useful as the idea is to control remotely
Does not Family Share
After purchasing the app on my iPhone, went to my iPad and it wants another $.99. Both phone and iPad use the same Apple ID. No way to contact support. In the App Store, it clearly states it supports up to six devices on family sharing.
It works!
Does the trick and eliminates constantly telling children to turn down the volume of their devices. Very simple and does the trick, one thing I would add would be the ability to name each device so you know which you are controlling as it simply just says iPad and doesn’t differentiate. Good though and well worth 99 pence.
