### 4/5 — Almost perfect app

*2026-08-26, version 1.8.0*

The app is great for controlling the volume and sound settings, but it resets to default settings every time you charge it.

### 4/5 — Great but 1 thing missing

*2026-08-25, version 1.8.0*

I like the app, it’s very convenient. I just wish I could turn off the Bluetooth to my hearing aids so I don’t have to turn it off on my phone when I want to share something with sound.

### 1/5 — Right hearing aid

*2026-08-25, version 1.8.0*

Keeps going out have returned and keeps going out. Now no sound after a few days. The office is great but a long way out of the way

### 4/5 — Review

*2026-08-24, version 1.8.0*

I no longer see volume numbers.  Just two bars. Liked it better when it showed volume by number

### 2/5 — Resent update

*2026-08-24, version 1.8.0*

The app was working perfectly. I’ve been using it for years. Suddenly, they decided to put out an update just recently. And now I lose connectivity all the time. Either my left goes out or my right will go out for no reason at all. I follow their instructions on how to reconnect, but it rarely works. They need to ditch the update and go back to the original app.

### 1/5 — It sucks

*2026-08-23, version 1.8.0*

It disconnects constantly even while in use. It used just be when I initially put my hearing aids in daily. Now it’s at least 4 times a day during the day and right now I can’t even get the left one to connect! 🥴

### 5/5 — Oticon miniRite e2 aids

*2026-08-23, version 1.8.0*

Software Companion works very well in 99% of the time!
No comparison to any & all others-tried them all!!
PROBLEM?
Product cost so prohibitive when replacing lost aids…and once aid is without power, they are impossible to trace/find!!

### 2/5 — Not too bad BUT UNRELIABLE

*2026-08-22, version 1.8.0*

OK this app works can well enough, BUT…
1. It is poorly designed visually and unimpressive BUT it works, when it works. It will NEVER win an award for graphic design. That is not a big deal - 
2. I had to download load it twice to get the option to select program options. Once that issue was resolved, I was pleased. 
3. Day 2. However: It vanished from my watch. On the iPhone (11pro) it could not connect to the left ear even though the battery was still OK. Even replacing the battery meant that the options for Program 1 general, Program 2 Music, and Progam 3 Headphones - were no longer there AGAIN! So back to square one. Download the watch App AGAIN. Restart the phone. Now we are back. 
4. Day 3 Connection has been sort of OK but it is so much more work than the old version of the app…… Why the change if it is LESS STABLE? 
5.  The interface remains clumsy but the UNRELIABILITY IS NOT GOOD. You can now find your hearing aids if you misplace them. 
6. Oticon need to up their game!
7. If this is not fixed soon I will be hunting for a different brand of hearing aids.
8. Keeps defaulting to really loud.

### 3/5 — Love/dislike

*2026-08-21, version 1.8.0*

I’ve never had something that I liked so much but have had so many problems with. I have gone back to have these replaced twice not including another 10 to 12 times repaired

### 1/5 — Pairing

*2026-08-21, version 1.8.0*

Cannot pair
