Useless

Garbage app doesn’t work correctly if at all

App problems

The app worked fine at first, now it shuts down when ever trying to use it. At this time the app is useless and unable to use.
Ttippy-lucky

It works

The basic functions are fine, streaming my phone and podcasts to my hearing aids.

The problem that I have is many times when ending a phone call the genius link disconnects from my phone and I have to restart the Bluetooth connection and if walk out of range and then back many times I have to reconnect the Bluetooth again manually and it does disconnect now and then for apparently no reason this can be frustrating when I have to put a call on speaker while I reconnect the Bluetooth.

If they could improve the Bluetooth connectivity I could give it a higher rating.

Genius link and music player

Would not recommend this to anyone.
Music player turns on intermittently and there is no way to shut it down.
