Huge improvement in one area
-I’ll start with the biggest improvement which is the Apple Watch complication. The previous one required using the Digital Crown to change volume which was very imprecise. The current complication has a + and - button to push which is much better. Also it has a toggle for the speech booster function which is new.
-the iPhone app itself is about the same as the prior version, very responsive and connected to my oticon miniRite hearing aids easily.
-The app shows estimated battery time (ie x hours ) remaining on the hearing aids in addition to the percentage charge remaining
I almost didn’t download the new app because of the poor reviews but I’m glad I did. I’d encourage you to give it a try and decide for yourself.

Does not work with iPad
UPDATED REVIEW: problem solved
I figured out the problem a few weeks ago. I had to remove the older set of hearing aids from my iPad. Oticon also contacted me today via email with the same advice. I also preferred a tv adapter that allows me to watch via blue tooth with the tv volume turned down or off. Easy to set up.

Thank you for your feedback. You should be able to get your new hearing aids to work with your iPhone by deleting the old hearing aid pairing and pairing the new ones. You can do so on your iPad by going to Settings > Accessibility > Hearing Devices > Tap name of old hearing aids (if there) > tap 'Forget this device' > Restart new hearing aids to put them in pairing mode > Pair them on the screen of your iPad when prompted. Please do not hesitate to write us at appsupport@oticon.com if you need further support with this. Best regards, Oticon.

Please feel free to write us an email at appsupport@oticon.com, then we will be happy to troubleshoot what could be the reason your hearing aids are not automatically re-establishing the connection when your hearing aids and iPhone are back in range.
