 +| Volume Control | Volume Control |  x  | [[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xupstudio.volumefinetuner|G.Play]] | Android volume control is so bad. I can't get it quiet enough to listen to music in bed (through headphones). This app is suss as fuck, full of ads, probably spyware, but it's all I got. Amazed there's no open source alternative. Almost makes me want to learn how to make Android stuff. |
