## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's simplicity, effectiveness, and minimal design for managing volume controls without extra permissions or background activity. It is praised for preserving hardware buttons and providing instant access from the home screen. However, multiple users report issues adding widgets on Android 13, desire a visual indicator for volume levels directly on the widget, and request smaller widget sizes and brightness control integration. The lack of floating widget functionality and limited customization are also noted drawbacks.

### Pros

- Simple and effective volume control widget that does exactly what it promises.
- Visually appealing interface for adjusting various volume types (media, call, alarm, notification).
- Does not require extra permissions and does not run in the background, saving battery life.
- Helpful for managing volume without using physical buttons, preserving hardware durability.
- Minimal interface and easy access from the home screen.

### Cons

- Widget functionality issues on Android 13; users unable to add the widget.
- Lack of a visual display showing current volume levels without interaction.
- Absence of smaller widget options like 1x1 for single volume control.
- Not a floating widget; requires returning to the home screen to adjust volumes.
- Limited customization and no brightness control integrated.
