Description

From the listing uploaded by “timtimstore”.

Want to help make this app free and ad-free for everyone? Check my patreon page - https://www.patreon.com/chris_m . Volume Dot allows easy and convenient on-demand and on-screen volume control through a small icon, which you can configure in size and transparency. The icon appears only when needed. FEATURES: * Volume control - slide from the Volume Dot in any direction to change the music volume; * Initial volume level - reset the volume level after set time of inactivity; * Instant mute - tap the Volume Dot to instantly mute the music; * Custom size and transparency - you can configure the size and transparency level of the Volume Dot; * Auto Show/Hide - the Volume Dot will automatically show when needed and hide afterwards; * Custom placement - touch and hold the Volume Dot until you feel a slight vibration, then you can move it to a suitable position. * Double-click the Volume Dot to open the settings. The app practically uses no battery power. The app is originally ad-supported but has a "No Ads" option. In ad-supported mode you agree to actually view ads and the app will regularly complain if it finds any ad-blocking. A small, trembling handshake icon will appear on the screen once in a while. You may click it to see the ad at your convenience.

If you like my work and want to support my efforts - please give it a 5 star rating and share it with your friends! It would really help!

Volume Dot APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is Volume Dot free?

The APK is free to download, but the app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.

Is the Volume Dot APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 9a2e1a1ac89ffe93f1f5622b8e32d131.
