Main VOLUME slider - Needs to be bigger and more responsive

I’ve mostly made my peace now with the new app, and I like a lot of it.

That said, my main issue remaining is the lack of responsiveness on the main volume slider when on the main app page (ie. single slider at bottom). I don’t have huge hands, so it’s not like I’m a giant trying to use it … but even so, it’s the only slider of any app I can think of that I can never get to move immediately, without finding that exact sweet spot.

Feel like an easy fix would be a slightly wider (ie. height) sizing, so it is easy to grab and move.

Cheers!

Just a suggestion, if you are wanting small changes in volume, try tapping on either side of the volume slider, this moves the volume one point. A lot easier than sliding and more reliable ime.

Hello @Corry P ,

I would like to double down on the slider being too small.

I also would like to suggest making the volume setting non linear on the app. Unless you’re throwing a party in a sound proofed house, it’s very unlikely that you’ll ever slide the volume to the right part of the volume slider. On the other hand, making small adjustments when listening to musinc while working is actually not that easy, because it requires very small changes. When I try to do that (on the app) I usually end up turning the sound off, or when I try increasing getting a heart attack because now it’s way too loud. Either. make it non-linear and focus it on the lower volume to make small adjustments, or you could also try a magnifying feature like when you try to move the cursor on character at a time on your smartphone. Anything would help I think at this point.

Thanks :-)
