Hi Can you please work on getting a update for this app again. Because I am having the same issues. I had before with connecting to the phone though my Baha 5 power hearing aid. It keeps deconnecting from the phone. Please and thank you

### 1/5 — Please update this

*2022-04-03, version 2.0.6*

We can usually mirror our phone to make our baha 5 connect to our Apple Watch but this new apple update doesn’t allow that. So your app must be very out of date. Says 1 year ago on our page. Please update it so we can control our baha on the watch again

Response to developers 
That has nothing to do with it.  The app needs to be changed to allow use on the watch. It used to be the apple updated and now it’s now.

### 3/5 — App needs to update

*2020-01-20, version 2.0.5*

I’ve had my BAHA 5 for almost 2 years now. I was really excited for the concept of Bluetooth to my phone! However, it doesn’t always connect or has trouble. And since this is the only way to control my hearing aid, I really depend on it working. I hold off doing main iPhone updates when they’re first released. This latest update, I am having more problems with it pairing with my BAHA. I’ve been having to restart my phone just to get it to connect and adjust it.
If you’re going to have it controlled only by the phone, there needs to be more updates.
