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.

2024-06-18	Sa*****	Perfect app for volume control. Can you please add icon for phone ringer too. Edit: the icon is for changing notification volume & not for incoming call ringtone!

2023-06-06	Li*****	After trying out a million apps, I finally arrived at the one which does the job exactly how I wanted. Other Devs are just adding fancy nonsense instead of bringing the system volume slider. But this dev did exactly what I wanted. Thumbs up 👍

2023-03-30	Du*****	I installed it and then went to add the widget to my home screen and nothing happens? Long touch to drag it doesn't do anything unlike my other widgets. What am I missing?

2022-10-31	Sh*****	Finally the app that I was looking for! It's visually appealing, instantly brings up the volume slider for different volumes - media, call, alarm & notification and doesn't need any extra permissions. What's even better is that it doesn't run in the background, thus preventing any unnecessary battery consumption. The only downside is that it's not a floating widget so you've to come back to your home-screen to access volume controls.
