What's New in AB Remote

1.1.0

July 6, 2023

Minor bug fixes and improvements

User reviews

Disappointing

This can’t be the official app for something I went through a tedious process for. I wish I had done research before choosing AB. There’s just no way this company makes the money they make and has an app this terrible. Connections suck, UI/UX is awful. I’m praying there’s an update because I can’t just wake up one day and choose another provider when there’s literally a device of theirs in my literal head.

Please update the app

It’s such a trivial thing, but it would be wonderful if the app would show the remaining battery percentage for bilateral implants.
It’s incredibly stupid that if one battery dies, the app won’t show the remaining battery percentage on the other side.

Help

Absolutely the worst app ever. 3-4 times per day to shut phone off to change programs and 2-3 times per day deleting app and reinstalling. Will anything ever be done to fix, or is there another app I could try?

Needs updated

The app is very frustrating. It unpairs from my marvel and I have to go through the whole “find my device” song and dance. It doesn’t remember settings. It’s very frustrating because the apps for other, much cheaper devices are so much better.

Useful

Great app, help me a lot with my cochlear implant. There are times some areas can be so loud. It is nice to turn the sound down just for a bit. Would like it if you could do an app for the Apple Watch.
