Ratings and reviews

I could not be more pleased with the product considering it's free to download. The visible volume icon is customizable allowing me to adjust the location, where I want it, the size of the icon, and the transparency, so that it's less noticable while using my phone. I can even hide the volume (+) and volume (-) portion of the icon and quicky press it only when I need to change the volume. I use a Blu G90 Android and so far the always visible icon is not in the way of using most apps.

Used for a few days, so far so good. One thing can make it better, automatically switch to control volume to whichever in use. Update: installed the update and tried the new feature to control the phone call vol, and it worked well. The vol seems unable to be muted even if the icon shows so. Another thing is that the "Shake on" does not work most of the time. Overall, very nice app, and I use it very often. It has been for a while that the button keeps disappesring shortly after turnned on.

Highly usefull for my old mobile whose voulme button doesnt found in market. 1).It shows tiny little volume control buttons "+" ,"-" & even mute at right side bottom corner without disturbing video playback or apps. 2).Volume control present in notification panel.Hence easy to access.
