Volume Limit

This app is the simplest and best one I’ve found for keeping control of my phone’s speaker volume. The screen time alarm feature is a nice touch too.

It’s been hard to truly control the volume on my son’s iPad since he has figured out how to use the volume slider within the app he is watching. We could deactivate the buttons, but not the slider (come on developers!!) so he’d just increase the volume as soon as he got the iPad back. Here is finally an app that can truly limit the volume level! It’s great and was clearly developed by someone with a child.

Very useful for keeping sound down when my phone is being used by my grandkids as well as a timer to help set a time limit as it’s then easier to remove the device because the timer is letting them know it’s time to give my phone/device back and move on to something else.

This app works in the background to lock the volume as described, but I’d love to also be able to leave the the volume adjustable up to a set max value — allowing my kid to adjust the volume up and down, just not past the set max. Also, it would be great to keep the screen time setting separate from the volume. Currently, the max setting for screen time is 80 min, and after that it turns off the volume limit. I’d love to be able to just set the max volume, and keep it active indefinitely.

Great concept, but only if kids aren’t well versed in how the iPad works. My son knows how to close out apps. As soon as he realized that closing out the app shuts off the volume limit, he instantly shuts it off as soon as it is set up.
