App summary

Volume Control is an amazing app that lets you take control of your device’s volume – instead of being controlled by it!

HOW IT WORKS
Volume Control is extremely easy to use. Simply tweak existing or create new pre-defined volume profiles, and toggle between them with just a single touch. Individual profiles are comprised of: Alarm, Media, Ringer, Notification, Voice (in-call), Bluetooth and overall system volume.

AUTOMATED CONVENIENCE
Volume Control also detects when you insert headphones or activate Bluetooth, and automatically toggles to your preferred volume profile. You can even create automatic scheduled presets based on time of day, physical location, or a calendar event.
For example, if you plan to head into a business meeting, simply tell the app to turn off your ringer at precisely that time. Of if you're heading for a workout, tell the app to pump up the volume when you arrive at the fitness club. The list of possibilities is virtually limitless!


ADDITIONAL SPECIAL FEATURES
Here are some of the other special features you can look forward to:
- Custom volume settings and ringtones for VIP contacts
- The option of separating or linking ringer volume and notification volume
- The ability to change ringtones for alarm, ringer and notifications
- Notification shortcuts for quick and easy access to controls and presets
- Integration with Tasker and Locale via the built-in preset plugin


INTERACTIVE WIDGETS
You can also access a fantastic suite of fully interactive Home Screen widgets, including:
- Preset (apply a set of audio settings);
- Preset List (apply any preset)
- Volume Locker (change/lock volume levels)
- Vibrate (toggle vibrate settings for ringer and notification)
- Ringer (toggle the ringer mode between silent, vibrate, and normal)
- Dashboard (various interactive volume controls)
Please note: to access the widgets, the app should not be installed to your SD card. Some Android versions may require a reboot for widgets to appear on your widget drawer.


AVOID ACCIDENTAL CHANGES
You’ll also love the cool “Pocket Locker” feature, which automatically prevents accidental volume changes by locking volume settings when your device screen turns off.

User reviews
Have used premium version for years; highly recommend for intermediate to advanced users who want full control of all device volume behavior. Create custom settings (Presets) to apply from notification menu shortcut, plus automated Presets activated by time, GPS location, connection of specific Bluetooth devices, and many more triggers. Too many features to list here. Significant learning curve and documentation could be better, but developer is responsive and updates regularly. Well worth it!

For what it is, it does okay, but when you say "control," I imagine being able to control much more than the system allows anyway. While it is nice to be able to, for instance, change the Bluetooth volume before connecting to a device in order to not get blasted out by it right away, there is no way to control the volume of individual apps. Example: mute a game while having the music player on. That's what I would call ultimate control!

The app works great and controls all volumes. It puts you in control of your phone systems sounds. Absolutely love it!!! 4/18/20 UPDATE: I have had a problem with the in call volume not staying at zero and jumping to 14% when using a preset. I have reported this twice to the developer and have received no support in fixing the issue. They appear to have NO TECH support. I still use the app but its inability to do what it says it can and the lack of tech support drops 5 star rating to 2..
