Auto Mute By Location

I am forever forgetting to unmute my phone when I leave a place where I've muted it. Now it isn't a problem, Auto Mute by Location takes care of muting and unmuting for me. Also, I had a question and submitted it by using the feature that sends a log file to support and got a reply in a couple of hours answering my question.

Works perfectly. Tried a number of different approaches to muting my iPhone at locations. At first, I just used the Ring/Silence switch on the side of the phone. Works, but after 3 days of no one calling you, you realize you forgot to turn the ringer back on. OK, then I’ll set a reminder to alert me when I get near my location. Worked until I got a new car, and my phone connects by Bluetooth to the car, and reminders don’t give any sound at all when I reach my destination! (There is a painful work around for this, but I’m too stubborn and to lazy to use it!) Finally found Auto Mute by Location. I initially had a problem where the phone wouldn’t unmute after leaving the location, but it turned out to be a cockpit problem: I had the parameter set wrong for what the app would do when I left the location. I had it set to turn the sound up, instead of a to unmute. The developer was very patient with me, and after several emails, showed me what the problem was. Great customer service! And, I don’t know of any other app that would do the same function! Five stars.

AutoMute does exactly what it says -- mutes your phone's ringer and notifications when you're at a specific location and then automatically unmutes the phone when you leave the location. If you like, the app will even notify you when you've entered the mute area and the phone has been silenced. It will also notify you when you've left the mute area and the phone's sounds have been turned on again. You also get to choose how wide a radius the mute zone will encompass. And the feature I find the most handy: there's a toggle switch that will unmute the phone even if you're still in the mute location. Likewise, you can easily mute the phone again by toggling the switch. This feature is great if you don't need to have your phone muted the entire time you're at a location. Oh, and if you have a question or a problem there's a built-in feature that allows you to easily contact the developer. I've asked a few questions getting started and the developer has always answered in a couple of hours. What more could you want? I've been using AutoMute every day for a week and it's been flawless. No more worries about remembering to turn off and on my phone's sounds. I love the app and highly recommend it.

AutoMute is wonderful. It is the only app I have found that reliably controls the volume of my iPhone based on locations. My iPhone 6S Plus indicates that geofences are being used - which I have set to a decently wide area. I have not noticed any significant battery impact due to the use of AutoMute. I am amazed that there aren't other automation apps like this for the iPhone - I don't have to worry about volume control and mute switches any longer.

Seems to me this functionality should have been incorporated into iOS already. Since it's not, my search brought me here. I followed the instructions posted with the apps description here. I used the apps default settings and find it works for both myself and my wife as designed. I'm very satisfied with app.
