Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Volume Booster at 4.6 against Sharp Smart Control's 3.2.

Sharp Smart Control's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (14% vs 0%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Volume Booster holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Volume Booster has 201 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Sharp Smart Control's written reviews are positive against 0% of Volume Booster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Sharp Smart Control ships an update every 17 months, Volume Booster fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
