Wasn’t working consistently ### 2/5 — Not easy to trial *2026-04-13, version 1.8.0* I literally refuse to register before I have the opportunity to trial an app ### 1/5 — available in Canada? *2025-11-19, version 1.6.5* would love to try this if I could connect my earbuds. ### 1/5 — Scam! be careful; don't even think about trial *2025-09-03, version 1.6.5* the app doesnt work; we wanted to do a trial on the app; it said free trial for a week and then will charge $100 for a year. we downloaded the app and realized it automatically charged us for $100... what is worse is that the app doesnt even work... we tried to cancel and realized it has already locked us for one full year... we tried reaching out to them but no one got back to us ### 1/5 — Beware *2025-08-14, version 1.6.5* I signed for the trial version and found it completely ineffective and cancelled. The company charged me more than $100 anyway. I contacted the developer asking for a refund and was directed back to Apple. Apple said the developer has a no refund policy and advised me to take it up with my bank credit card. Still waiting for a resolution. I feel scammed. ### 1/5 — Have to sign up *2025-07-10, version 1.6.2* Any app that requires sign up just to test is insta-delete. ### 1/5 — No Refund *2025-06-25, version 1.6.0* I inadvertently selected this app for my new hearing aid. When I picked up my new hearing aids my doctor told me that this was the wrong app. A week after downloading, Apple charged me $99 for a yearly subscription. I immediately cancelled my subscription but Apple stated they can’t refund my money and this subscription is good until June 2026. I deleted this app since I’m never going to use it. ### 1/5 — Hearing is *2025-06-13, version 1.6.0* Not free at all. Why lie? ### 3/5 — Kinds Works *2025-05-24, version 1.6.0* My hearing aids broke, so I decided to try this as an emergency backup. Used with Jabra Elite Active Gen 2 ear buds and an iPhone 14 Pro Max, this app worked, but the perceived delay was too long to really be useful. It wiil not substitute for even really ancient prescription hearing aids. Reluctantly, I cancelled my subscription. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with hearing aids *2025-04-21, version 1.6.0* This app only connects with Bluetooth or wired speakers/headphones not hearing aids as it alludes to in the advertisement. ### 1/5 — Gay *2025-04-04, version 1.6.0* The app auto charged my moms card with $100s for a subscription and now she’s gonna beat me ### 4/5 — The app is good … but *2025-03-18, version 1.6.0* Why does my app not show me how much battery charge remains .. it always says 100 % which is frustrating ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2025-01-08, version 1.5.9* When I was reading the apple ad for the AirPod Pro that could help as a hearing aid I did not see any where that you’d have to spend $99 a year for the app. If there was a disclaimer it was not noticeable. And the reality is it’s only going to be helpful in a sitting down or standing still setting. The microphone is on your phone so if your phone is moving you’re going to hear EVERY movement your phone makes. I tried it in my pocket and you can hear the phone sliding against the material. I tried it in my phone carrier attached to my hip and you hear all the bumping. I would not have bought the AirPods just for music, I bought it for help with hearing which is how it is presented in the ad. Oh and speaking of music, if you don’t have this app open and you turn the AirPods on it will automatically turn your music on. I realize it’s not meant to replace a real hearing aid completely, however that’s how Apple is portraying it. Shame on you Apple. ### 1/5 — Bad *2025-01-04, version 1.5.9* Bad sound and what’s money ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-11-30, version 1.5.8* Downloaded but only a free trial. Not going to pay to use this app. ### 1/5 — Your own voice echos *2024-11-14, version 1.5.8* I tried the app and immediately my own voice was echoing back. The interface has several sliders , all of which have no labels . Turning the AI on or off made no difference. Considering how prevalent the issue was I would have thought there would be some direction or something about how to resolve it easily . Maybe just me but didn’t want to spend an hour researching to try and fix it ### 2/5 — Functional, but ugly and offensively expensive *2024-10-30, version 1.5.8* I’m somebody who has occasional deafness from blocked sinuses. All the hearing apps are crazy expensive. This one is particularly remarkable because all that money they’re charging sure as heck isn’t going in the UI. There’s a intolerable delay with Bluetooth as well. I’ve grabbed me a free trial, but no way would I part with this kind of money for this kind of mess. ### 1/5 — I DON’T USE HEADPHONES *2024-09-28, version 1.5.8* IF YOU DONT GET YO DIABOLICAL *please use headphones* GET YO HEADPHONES ICON OUT IDIOT PLEASE DONT DO THIS I AM DOING LOUDMIC ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Je n’ai jamais vu un logiciel aussi dispendieux, sauf en entreprise. *2026-08-21, version 1.8.5* Je n’en reviens pas … ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-25, version 1.8.5* Terrible user interface and some of those unlabelled sliders are dangerous. One slider made my headphones impossibly loud my ears were ringing afterwards! Plus the annual subscription of minimum £80 instead of monthly just screams scam to me. ### 1/5 — Thieves *2026-06-21, version 1.8.5* They will just steal your money. This app is terrible and so is the service this company provides customers. Stay away ### 1/5 — Arnaque *2026-05-13* Arnaque ### 1/5 — Keep clear *2026-03-14, version 1.7.3* Costly ### 1/5 — useless without paying *2026-03-13, version 1.7.3* doesn’t let you use it at all without subscribing, and even the “free” trial requires setting up auto pay which is a terrible practice ### 1/5 — Limited to iPhone microphone *2026-03-08, version 1.7.3* Does not leverage the microphones in ear buds. The limitation of using only iPhone microphone makes it difficult to use. ### 1/5 — Needs subscription *2026-02-01, version 1.7.0* App wont even open until you agree to a monthly subscription ### 1/5 — Better not be charged for this don’t use it *2025-12-12, version 1.6.5* Making sure you know I don’t need your subscriptions so unsubscribe if that’s what happened when I downloaded the wrong app!! ### 1/5 — Bad app *2025-12-06, version 1.6.5* Constantly having to delete and reinstall ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Me *2026-07-05, version 1.8.5* Good ### 5/5 — We don’t have to fight anymore *2025-01-06, version 1.5.9* You literally saved my relationship ### 5/5 — Secret™️ *2024-05-17, version 1.5.8* The most important secrets ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-03-23, version 1.5.6* This App is a perfect match for my amazing Eargo7 hearing aids. At home or on the go, so easy to make adjustments as needed! This quality of this App is so very appropriate to enhance the Eargo7 hearing aid experience!! Jim Backus ### 5/5 — Hearing aid *2024-02-09, version 1.5.6* It works great. ### 5/5 — Interesting. Did y’all really think that no instructions or directions would was a great idea? *2023-09-16, version 1.5.5* Most people enjoy the comfort of a box. A small minority might create their own path. A few people enjoy solving problems. Your product is worth the challenge! Thank you, RS ### 5/5 — Ha *2023-08-05, version 1.5.2* Very good app works very well but I asked Jeffrey John Nij is Henry you want money after seven days sabotage poorly I’ll give you five stars so worth an app that is good ### 5/5 — User *2022-10-23, version 1.4.3* This app is better than the one that comes with the hearing aids ### 5/5 — Great Improvement *2021-12-31, version 1.3.7* The last update has greatly improved the connectivity. No more having to go back to the charger to connect to my iPhone. Previously I had given a poor review because of this but now 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Good and clear *2021-10-25* Crisp clean sound definitely the one you are gonna want to have especially with the volume to the max; you won’t have that feeling of throwing your phone as hard as you can and running your face through a plate glass window. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
