Works

I have an iPhone 16 and this worked great on it. I’m connected to a Bluetooth device in my car and can slowly slide the slider up or down to gradually increase/decrease volume.

Volume Control tool

Excellent app, does what it says on the tin. Would like narrow it down further in split screen mode, but that’s not the apps fault, it’s a limitation imposed by Apple. Highly recommended.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! Honest reviews like this do a lot to offset the haters and trolls who are ruining the world for hardworking indie developers.

Works as advertised. Excellent app for IPad

I cant speak to the few criticisms I’ve read regarding how this app works with bluetooth connected devices. But as for the Ipad itself, this app is outstanding - providing PRECISE volume control to the Ipad down to increments of even a tenth of a decibel. An absolute must-own if you enjoy falling asleep to a podcast or music playing on your Ipad and you need to hit that sweet spot in having it just loud enough to hear, but soft enough to fall asleep to.

The native volume control in the Ipad has always been trash. This app corrects the problem at a reasonable price and is a worthy successor to the “Volume Pro” app which used to be good but then inexplicably decided to ruin its own usefulness with a disastrous update.

Zero difference dont waste your money 👎👎

Waste of money

Excellent accurate DBFS level control! 🐨

It might seem strange having an app that’s simply a volume control, but it allows you to dial in an exact volume level (DBFS) using fine (full screen) micro adjustments or by typing in an exact value.

So if you want to protect your ears rather than second guessing listening levels, or need to know the exact output level in DBFS for technical reasons this app can be launched and just left in the background until you need it via switching.

As an audiophile I can instantly appreciate the difference in having precise technical control over volume levels which helps limit listening fatigue. A simple but incredibly useful pro audio utility from a brilliant developer. I own all of their software tools which are invaluable for audio engineering and scientific applications - highly recommended!
