Your favourites. Your volume. At your fingertips. Start a saved favourite and set the volume straight from your Home Screen. CastVolume puts speaker controls where you need them, with familiar widgets for Sonos, WiiM, Chromecast and compatible LinkPlay devices. FAVOURITES, ONE TAP AWAY Play saved Sonos Favourites, WiiM Home favourites and supported LinkPlay presets from the Favourites widget. Keep favourite stations, albums or playlists within reach, alongside playback and volume controls. Save favourites in your speaker’s usual app, then open Favourites in CastVolume to load them. Available content depends on the speaker and music service. Chromecast supports volume widgets; music favourites are not supported. QUICK CONTROLS • Discover receivers on your network, or add Sonos, WiiM and LinkPlay by local IP. • Adjust volume and mute from the app and interactive widgets. • Use Play/Pause for Sonos and LinkPlay. Sonos playback follows the room’s current group; start or choose music in the speaker’s app first. • Follow the in-app widget guide to choose a device, add Volume Remote and check installation. FREE AND PREMIUM All brands, in-app controls, saved speakers, colours and volume steps are free. Free widgets and Controls share one chosen speaker. Premium lets each widget and Control use its own speaker, with a one-time purchase. An optional 30-day free trial has no automatic charge. When it ends, your chosen free speaker keeps working; additional widget targets need Premium. Your setup is kept. Existing Premium purchases stay unlocked. No subscription or ads. COMPATIBILITY Your phone and receiver must share a local network, with Local Network access allowed. Sonos uses local UPnP and requires compatible Connection Security settings. Portable speakers must be awake or powered on. WiiM requires Fixed Volume Output to be disabled. LinkPlay support depends on its local HTTP API and firmware; it is not a promise of compatibility with every LinkPlay-based product. AirPlay-only receivers are not supported. Widgets display the last confirmed state and refresh after commands; changes in other apps may not appear immediately. Play/Pause does not select new music, and some sources may not support playback control. A locked iPhone may require unlocking before a command runs. DENON / MARANTZ HEOS Control the volume, mute and current playback of HEOS-enabled Denon and Marantz players with Volume Remote and speaker Controls. Receivers advertising on the local network may appear automatically; otherwise add one by local IP. Keep at least one HEOS receiver awake. HEOS favourites, AVR power and input selection remain in the HEOS app. Compatibility depends on the model, firmware and audio source.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Serafim Audio at none against Cast Volume's 2. Serafim Audio also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.6). Cast Volume's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
