### 5/5 — Great App- easy to use!

*2026-06-10*

Love this easy to use app. The app uses ultra sonic sound to communicate to the hearing aids so Bluetooth is not required to make adjustments to programs, volume and noise filters. Love the simplicity yet functionality of this app!

### 2/5 — Ok, but ….

*2026-05-06*

… super annoying log-in process. The app randomly chooses when to sign you out and then you have to go through 2FA and flip to their website to log back in.   Ridiculous: if someone steals my phone, I don’t think lowering the volume on my eargo’s is going to be anywhere on their list of to do’s.  Plus - usually I’m going I. To the app when I intend to make a change, so having to log in as I’m sitting down into a restaurant is less than ideal.  Just give me Face ID log in, please.  

Other than that, app does what it’s designed to do.  It would be nice if I could see current levels, but I understand why I can’t.

### 5/5 — Eargo 8 review

*2026-03-24*

I used Eargo 7’s for two years, and  now use the newer (and MUCH BETTER) Eargo 8’s. The 8s stay better in my ears, and sound better.. The app is a work in progress, but is far superior to earlier versions. Technical note: these aids do not use ‘Bluetooth’ to communicate with your phone, they use AUDIO signals (that a human ear cannot hear). This is necessary because the aids are COMPLETELY in your ear, where Bluetooth signals can’t reach. This technology works fine, AS LONG AS YOU SET YOUR PHONE VOLUME TO ABOUT 40% or better. I’m sure this is why some people have trouble setting them up, or updating them. 
I’m very happy with their performance, and highly recommend them, if you want truly invisible hearing aids.

### 2/5 — This app has problems

*2026-03-16*

I’ll probably end up returning the Eargo 8 because of how badly this app functions. It is very glitchy… if it works at all.  You also never know what your current settings are for volume, treble and bass in the program settings.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-02-06*

I’m a new hearing aid user but I tried a bunch of different types and brands.  I find the Eargo are the best for me and the app is the easiest to use.  The videos are excellent too.  I just wish it could be on the iwatch for changing the modes.  Future release maybe?

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP

*2025-12-17, version v5.2.3*

Usually takes the app many many attempts to connect to device. Even after you connect, the app does not highlight what setting you’re on so it’s guest work every single time

### 2/5 — Eargo for 3 years

*2025-11-22, version 5.2.2*

Have worked 10% of time worn!  Had to buy 2 more hearing aids since started at $3500 + $500/piece x 2!!  $4500 and counting!

### 4/5 — Needs dark mode

*2025-09-24*

The app works well with my Eargo 8. It’s clever how the app uses the speaker to change parameters on the earbuds. I just wish there was a dark mode, as the regular light mode is very bright and disruptive in a movie theater.

### 5/5 — Eargo 8 User

*2025-09-23*

I have owned and used the Eargo 7’s and have since graduated to the 8’s . And I couldn’t be happier these Eargos have literally changed my life, and no body knows! The app is fine don’t listen to the naysayers.

### 1/5 — it cannot even properly connect - unuseable

*2025-08-14, version v5.1.0*

It is poorly written, buggy, and reliable. Their support is very   bad, but this app is. even worse.
