Can I mute all apps except one?

I'd like to mute (no sound but still get a notifications) every app on my iPhone, iMessenger, Facebook, WhatsApp, games, news, etc etc etc, however I have one app I'd like to hear.

I use an app called Tipster which I have set to play an air raid siren when someone I follow posts. However with my sound on I get all the bleeps from other apps, and with sound off the air raid siren doesn't play.

Some apps I have don't have a sound option in their settings so I can't turn off every app but Tipster then leave my phone sound on.

Exactly, maybe you have to inform the developer about that option.

Settings > Notifications >

Lists all apps that have a notification, some say sound which you can turn off!

Mute switch will mute everything except your alarm.

Some apps have an option to switch the sound off but not all.
