ZoomVolume enables you to change the volume accurately. If you think that minimum volume is too loud, try this. - change volume accurately on display *** this is the appeal point - of course you can change volume with hardware volume button - save/load your favorite as preset volume **Bluetooth Limitation** - With Bluetooth devices (earphones/speakers), volume can only change in steps. - Therefore, unlike wired devices, fine-tuning with the slider on the right is not possible.

This is the ONLY app able to limit the volume on iOS 17, and is also the simplest volume manager! This app works in the background. Warning: the volume limit only works while this app is still open in the background, if your child knows how to kill this app, it won't work. This app works better on younger kids.
