### 5/5 — Wonderfully Simple

*2026-02-08*

This simple app cleverly accomplishes what should be a built-in function in iOS / MacOS (but Apple probably doesn’t want you to easily mute ads). And doesn’t collect data! This harkens back to simpler, more enlightened time, before the Internet becoming corrupted by corporations trying to maximize profits. Good work, Jazz Media, we love you.

(Who in the world is rating this poorly? Why is this hidden in the App Store below a million garbage apps for Smart TVs?)

### 5/5 — Outstanding support

*2023-07-17*

I've been using this app to control the volume on my iMac and it quit working. I emailed the author from his website. Over a period of 2 days he patiently had me check various things via the console, terminal and system settings and we found the glitch keeping the server from running, and now everything is working again! I've haven't gotten this level of support fromma software company in years.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2023-03-12*

Works great! It does exactly what i needed, i can raise and lower my iMac's volume from my iPad, even when i am playing music using Airplay to my homepods. The only niggle is that i had to change my iPad display from Dark to Light in order to read the text in the Settings section, then after getting everything working, i changed Display back to Dark.

### 4/5 — Awesome Muting App

*2021-01-19*

If you need an iOS app to mute sound instantly on your Mac, say if you are streaming a sporting event and commercials start blaring, this is an awesome solution.  No more needing to rush over to your Mac and press just the right key, or, God forbid, deal with the unspeakable irritation of the Touch Bar. The app can be a bit flaky at startup, but once it gets going, touching almost any part of the screen mutes Mac volume.  It's also somewhat of a challenge to find the Mac server app, but it's out there.

### 5/5 — Volume Control

*2020-04-19*

Downloaded both the App and iMac Software.
And it all works just great.
No problems 
A very worthwhile addition to my iMac, iPhone and iPad.
Highly recommended for the application.

### 1/5 — Was perfect

*2019-12-21, version 1.0.6*

No longer connects with developer’s server software & crashes upon launch.  Possibly a latest macOS Catalina build & server conflict. Don’t know.

### 1/5 — Jazz Media Volume Remote

*2018-02-17*

The downloaded file to control the computer doesn’t appear. No means to control the computer. 
I’m glad I only wasted $1.60 on this.
