Smart Volume Control + for Android
If you fix this problem ill move your rating up. Everytime the scheduler switches for time and a profile it doesnt set at volume its supposed to it sets volume to what it decides to then you have to go back in look at volumes then profiles its never the same. You have to go to profiles and press apply then it sets it on what its supposed to.
used to be great on android 5.1 and lower. installed to S8 Android 7 and it crashes multiple times per day, missing the schedule to change my profile. Basically useless as it is totally unreliable. No updates since 2013.
7/12/16 volume can still be turned down which makes it useless. I need something that can keep me from moving the volume by accident. I don't see why Samsung doesn't offer a volume lock with the phone. 7/9/16 Well except for the fact everything has changed. It no longer works with the S7 Active. Is completely useless now. What is the point of a volume controller if it doesn't lock ur volume. I guess to get u to pay them money.
SVC+ is an amazing app. More important and just as amazing is the support that the author used to provide. I had problems when I first tried to use it. Not only did I get a reply to my email rapidly, but they solved the problem by adjusting their server within 24 hours. I suggested an addition & was told it will be added next update.(It was) Now, I'm not sure. This isn't an app for the beginner, start with lite. If you want to adjust almost any item by almost anything, try this app. ie: make it louder going faster, dimmer at night. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated since 2014.
I love having my phone turned on and of four my by a schedule. It should save me a lot of missed calls from not having the sounds of my phone on. However it is difficult and unintuitive to program.
I recently upgraded to Android Lollipop 5.0 on my Note 3 but SVC+ seems to have some issues now. First of all mobil data cannot turned off or on anymore. Also muting the phone does not work properly. Sometimes Vibration is not turned off and phone is not completely mute. Sometimes it works after applying the profil a second time but that is not a reliable or suitable option. Same settings used to work on Kitkat flawlessly.
This worked great on Kit Kat, but on Lollipop, I can't get the volumes to unlink. I'm constantly getting media sounds when it's set to silent during work.
Great app. Very useful. only issue is video recording doesn't work if you have a profile applied and have to disable the app to record video. minor inconvenience but hope it gets fixed.
The last update was in 2014 as of this review, and it does NOT work well with Marshmallow. After years of use, I have to uninstall. Bummer.
Loved it on my S4 mini (kitkat). Not so much with my S5 mini (lollipop). Has big problems with network switching.
Was good but now..... I uninstall it, to much problem, scheduler not working , shut the sound, media, ringer too many time. 1 star is to much
Scheduled events allow me to automatically control volume during work on a time frame and then schedule calendar days to use during vacation. 1 of my must useful apps. I do have trouble keeping my wifi up using the app not sure if another setting hinders the setting.
This app has tons to offer. I tried the lite version for a day, then got the full version. No ads, more adjustable settings. I like the speed adjustable, BT, and profile settings so l don't have to remember my ringer.
App is stuck in foreign time zone. Read all the tips. Uninstall, cycle the power, clear Play Store cache, set time to manual values. App continues to think it has a different clock than everything else on my Samsung Galaxy. Wrote for assistance, detailed everytHing I tried. Got response back telling me to cycle the power. Absolutely useless.
This apps interface is very confusing. It is poorly designed. And it becomes annoying. I have had it for a year, I stopped using after 3 months. I tried it again recently and it is not any better. Do not waste your money like I did.

I used to love this application. Unfortunately, after upgrading my Galaxy S4 to Lollipop, it doesn't auto change the profile anymore. Very disappointing.
Has so many different trigger options. I don't use half what it offers. Clean and easy to use interface. Works perfect for me. NOTE TO OTHERS: A lot of the strange behavior I was seeing was solved by disabling headphones mode.
First, I have used the app for several years now and it is the most important app on my phone. It has always worked well until 1.1.7 Sine then I have issues with timers being ignored and crashes 1. Timers are skipped 2. My phone has separate controls for the ringer and notifications but the profiles section always treats them as one. 3. Backup works to SkyDrive/OneDrive but restore always fails. 4. needs a cleaner way to change to a different profile when Bluetooth device disconnects. 5. Crashes when setting is activated to turn on WIFI when charging. Hope it gets fixed and becomes stable again.

They DO not update and will not keep up with times. Made my phone super slow and when I asked for refude, they said they will look it to it. That was month ago.
I've been using this for a few years, and it just keeps getting better and better. My only wish - that it would handle changing time zones while travelling better.
The restore volume notification still active even after the vibration mode timer has lapsed. Request developer to raise volume for vibration mode detection to current profile volume level instead of preset level in the setting.
It's very good, but still sorting out some unpredictability. Also forcing users to to rate in order to get in to use lowered my rating by one star. They should Later and No thanks buttons, but tapping them did nothing. So I hope they're happy; they were getting a four until they did that. Update: I have rated but still cannot unlock and use the software. Please note that I am giving a five ONLY to attempt to unlock and use the software.

I have been using for a while, and have noticed issues with gps, as that is what I use to change profiles? It sometimes changes, when I am at a single location, like at work and changes to on my way?
Full meal deal for automatically controlling the volume on tour phone. Not exactly intuitive, but does so many things well.
I've yet to find an app that is smart enough to use it. This app is promising, because it's flexible and had many options to choose from. I believe it could be more intuitive and smart if it supports the following features: 1) optional day and night mode. 2) configurable rules for each mode for example set profile when all options match. Uninstalling for now
I have a timer set to change my profile from Sleep to Loud and vice versa but it no longer works. I have deleted them and reinstated them but they still don't work :-( I have been woken from sleep several times by notifications and I have missed several calls because I have forgotten to manually turn my phone up in the morning.
Let's just say....how can I get a refund. Flaky. Inconsistent. Had a lot of great features, but they are awkwardly or poorly programmed. Need to latch for x amount of time. Wi-Fi is worst trigger as Wi-Fi will most likely toggle on and off occasionally, causing SVC to toggle from one profile to another. FRUSTRATING. Sorry guys.
Definitely worth $2.99, took quite some time trying to figure out how the hell to set it up (a tutorial would've been nice), but luckily I'm tech savvy and figured it out, and I love it! I don't have the need, nor the desire to use many of the features, but it does exactly what I want and that gets 5 stars from me.
This can be (and was) the most amazing app for volume control. It has not been updated in almost 2 years.
Was looking for a replacement for the smart actions app and I found this and it met and exceeded my expectations
This worked great on Kit Kat, but on Lollipop, I can't get the volumes to unlink. I'm constantly getting media sounds when it's set to silent during work.
After upgrade to lollipop mobile data switching doesn't work anymore. Also there are some issues with Galaxy Interruptions option (not all sound s silenced, restore sometimes not working). App was installed on NEW phone with factory defaults. It seems this app has no more support. Last update was a year ago...to bad! Don't waste money on this. Rating went to 1 star because no reply received to my support request!
After upgrading my Samsung S5 to lollipop, changing profiles does not affect mobile data customization anymore...
I keep my S4 Mini on silent mode. I use this app when I'm working out, so the volume doesn't adjust when it's in the tight pocket of my running pants/shorts. If I forget to unlock it, sometimes, it will randomly buzz. Very annoying, especially if it does it while I'm trying to sleep. PLEASE FIX!!
Great app. Worked great until I had to replace my phone. Now it changes assigned areas all the time even though my radius is way outside the area. Not good when I'm at work.

Good, not perfect. I have ontheway profile with gps: elsewhere and home profile with gps:home:100m. The problem is that sometimes when I'm home it loses the GPS signal and sets the ontheway profile and later sets the home back. This is annoying and the gps unknown position should not trigger any profile. I also have a sleep profile without gps setting, but scheduled. Switches to sleep profile at the scheduled time, but sometimes it switches back to home after some time. This is also annoying.
