I listen to either voice-based programs via BBC Sounds or Apple music, but the BBC programs tend to be relatively quiet. Is there a way to get
app-based volume levelling to stop my ears being blasted when listening to Music after a BBC podcast?

You snipped the bit where I didn't want to suppress Music's volume nor do I want compress the dynamic range of my library. The issue isn't jumping between different types of music. It's swapping between apps.

This isn't possible in IOS. At least, I never found any way, and I
have asked in the past, and researched some myself too.
It probably isn't possible, unless there is a volume control inside
the app itself, and even that may not be possible within the apple OS structure.
You'll just have to deal with it.

There is no OS-level feature to adjust volume per app in iOS. I suppose
if enough people requested it in Apple feedback, Apple may add such a feature, but my bet is most people don't want it.

It's definitely possible. For instance, the Pushover app lets you set
the volume level for critical alerts. App developers are in control of
this sort of thing and can offer this functionality if they wish.
You'll just have to deal with it.
Probably - unless you can convince an app developer to address it in
their app.

Yes but *I* know that my preferred volume for BBC is let's say a "9" and

correct, as well as tech support. apple targets the masses, not every possible edge case.
To be fair, iOS would certainly need to be changed to provide a user interface for allowing users to specify custom volume levels for each
app, as well as changes to the system to actually set the volume
whenever a given app is in use.
Like i said, I'm willing to bet there just isn't enough actual demand for this functionality as a large percentage of total users to justify the changes and added complexity.
Billion+ iPhone users.
Large proportion use them to listen to music, podcasts, websites, news services, etc.
Doesn't sound very "edge case" to me.

You make it sound as if the settings app is paean of UI perfection. It
isn't. It's already horribly bloated.
I can see it being easily implemented as another toggle/over-ride in
each app's settings. Just like notifications.

I'd bet very few (i.e. <5%) of all use cases affect any sizeable
percentage of the total users.
The Settings app is so complicated that
only the tech savvy fiddle around in there.

Not really an edge case if they already cater for it in their own Music
app, is it?

except that they did. those *do* have different volumes, and apps can
control it even further on a per-app basis, as is commonly found in
games, where there can even be control for background music separate
from game sounds within the game, entirely independent of other apps,
such as a music player.

no they haven't. that's nothing more than yet another one of your
baseless unsubstantiated claims.
often from former Android users that cannot believe that
something that they depended on on their Android devices is not
rubbish. nobody 'depended on' such a feature, and it't not part of
android either, but instead available with a third party app.
it also wouldn't work properly because the loudness of individual
songs, podcasts, etc, is outside of the control of both apple and app developers.
for example, someone could match two different app volumes and then
encounter a louder song or podcast and be surprised. further, the
interface to control the master volume of every single app would be a confusing mess. not only that, but apps could completely ignore the
system setting and set their own volume.

Per app volume settings would be a nice feature to have. When I have
multiple apps running, like a navigation app and a music app, it would
be very useful.

sound check in the music app is because different songs often have different volumes.
Well duh. Which is exactly what I'm talking about.
what you're really wanting is global sound check across different apps,
That's explicitly *not* what I want.
which is very different than manually setting a master volume for each
app, which as i said, is a ui disaster and very much an edge case, even
if it could work (which it can't).
It obviously could work.
It's a simple shortcut even I could create, which
I have thanks to Chris's suggestion.

I asked an expert for you!
<begin>
Yes, there are a few ways to prevent your ears from being blasted when switching between different audio sources, such as a BBC podcast and
music on Apple Music.
One solution is to use a volume leveling app, which can automatically
adjust the volume of different audio sources to a consistent level. Some
apps that can do this are "Equalizer +" and "Volume Leveler". These apps
can be downloaded from the app store on your mobile device and you can
set your desired volume level for different apps.
Another solution is to use a built-in feature of your device called
"Sound Check" on Apple devices or "Loudness Normalization" on Android devices. This feature automatically adjusts the volume of different
audio sources to a consistent level. You can turn this feature on by
going to your device's settings, selecting "Music" (or "Sounds and
Vibration" on some Android devices), and enabling the "Sound Check" or "Loudness Normalization" option.
Lastly, you can also adjust the volume of your device manually before switching between different audio sources.
Please be aware that if you are using headphones, some of them have
built-in volume limiter that can be adjusted.
Please note that the above-mentioned options may vary depending on the
device you are using, but generally, all smartphones have this feature.

It does to me. All of those billion+ currently listen to music,
podcasts, websites, news services, etc without needing to set a
custom volume for each app. I know because I'm one of them. ; )
Samples of one don't go very far...
That applies to you as well. Ho hum.
You can't compare your "I'm one of them" to the rest of them. And you
know it.
You can't claim Billion+ iPhone users want per-application volume
controls, and you know it. You made that claim. As I said, right back at
you.
Never claimed all of them. But it is certainly more than 1 by a lot.

One way to look at "demand" is to see what's out there in the app
stores for functionality that isn't native on the device itself by
default.
That still doesn't tell you the number of customers who want such a
feature compared to the total number of users. As far as you know,
only a tiny percentage actually want it.
Nobody knows what the percentage is. But it's likely not tiny.

*YAWN* Are we done here?
Which is exactly why Apple locks a lot of choices out of the App Store.
Nobody knows what the percentage is.
apple does
Only if they look at it. There is no indication that they have.

As nospam points out, Apple knows better than you or anyone else.

You have 0 knowledge about that.
explain why ios, android, mac os, windows and linux do not include a
system preference that independently can adjust the volume of
individual apps on a per-app basis.
if this feature is in such high demand as you claim, or even moderate
demand, why hasn't even one of those oses bothered?
The apps exist on Android so the sensible question is why not on iOS?
Which is exactly why Apple locks a lot of choices out of the App Store.
they don't, and in this case, no apps are needed on ios (or mac os).

How can you say Apple doesn't lock plenty of apps out of the app store?
because as an app developer, i have direct experience with what they
actually do (plus knowing many other developers who have similar experiences), not what you think they might do.

apple looks at everything and prioritizes it all. it would be foolish
not to.
they also have a *lot* more information than any end user could
possibly have or hope to get.
But it's likely not tiny.
yes it is.
You have 0 knowledge about that.
that would be you.

For you to say an app not existing on the Apple app store means low
