I installed this in iOS 16 and now using in iOS 17 without issue. I have an iPhone 13pro -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. ### 4/5 — On or Companion? *2023-08-11* I wish with the explanation for the use of this app It would tell you the difference between the On and the Companion app. I keep getting notifications to install the new version and when I hit it, it just goes to the download and says open without an explanation as to where the revised app is or what the latest version is. In neither explanation does it tell you the difference or which one you should be using. I can’t seem to tell the difference between the two, but it does tell you that having more than one app on your phone gives you problems with connectivity. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two apps and which one I should be using? **Developer response:** Dear Angelo DeF, thank you for your insightful and clear email and all the suggestions you shared. I will share your feedback with the relevant team. We would be happy to explain the difference and what new features are included. Please reach out to us at appsupport@oticon.com ### 5/5 — Does not work with iPad *2023-07-21* The app works fine with my iPhone but cannot get it to work with my iPad. I have a new pair of otican real hearing aids replacing an older pair that was working fine with my iPad. None of the troubleshooting suggestions worked. Now as far as rating the hearing aids for their primary use, hearing, they are excellent. My low rating is “only” for the iPad connection issue and nothing else. 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-03-02* I have tried everything to get the app to work, since the last update for my iPhone and nothing is working. I have deleted the app and reloaded several times. I have followed all the steps to pair my hearing aids with the app, but nothing is working. It just stays on the page on how to pair your hearing aids. I just want to be able to use the app again, because when it was working it helped me adjust the volume of my hearing aids, be able to talk on the phone and hear people, and know when someone was trying to reach me on my phone. Now I can’t do any of those things because my hearing aids will not pair with my phone. When I go to accessibility, hearing aids, it shows my hearing aids are connected and paired with my phone, but the app will not work. I hope someone can help me. **Developer response:** Dear Vedelhia, we are sorry to hear about the inconvenience. We are very glad to help you! Please, reach out to the App Support team at appsupport@oticon.com mentioning your review, and they will support you and guide you. Best Regards, Oticon ### 4/5 — Nice companion app *2023-02-17* I find the Oticon App useful as it allows me to adjust my hearing aids without having to manually push the buttons on my More 1, especially when I’m wearing glasses. I do find however that I lose connectivity when I want to stream if I step away from my iPhone. Seems there is a problem re-establishing the connection when back in range.I would really like it if Oticon would provide more ambient sounds like thunder storm, rain forest, birds, ocean, and more. The brook sound is nice but not enough. Also please expand the equalizer for more than just High, Mid and Low. We nead more frequency adjustment sliders. **Developer response:** Dear Oliric, thank you for your feedback. 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. I will also be sure to share your feature suggestions with our developers for future app improvements. Thank you. Best regards, Oticon ### 5/5 — Praises for Kristian, the Oticon Team *2023-02-10, version 2.5.0* 2/1 pm…forget about all the accolades about this app. It is no longer paired to my hearing aides. I do not have the time nor the patience to go through a series of steps every morning to connect😟 2/1 am…I had problems pairing my hearing aides to my new phone. I sent an email to Oticon. I promptly received a reply with 1-2-3- instructions on how to do this. Also received a link to a detailed “Pairing Guide”, if I needed it. Thanks for the prompt reply and for the simple, easy to understand instructions. ### 2/5 — Mark *2023-02-03, version 2.5.0* I might give it 3 stars if the hearing aids didn’t cost so much. I bought these about 3 months ago. I mean for that kind of money the app and Bluetooth connectivity should work without glitch, but they are pretty sketchy, glitchy. They usually only connect to my right ear which is my bad ear or they don’t connect at all. They seem to just connect when they feel like it. They should connect 100% of the time for that kind of money. It’s ridiculous!!! I either need another new pair or they need to fix the connectivity!! ### 5/5 — Working Perfectly Now *2023-01-25, version 2.5.0* The TV adapter streaming default volume setting is at the highest (loudest) setting. The comfortable adjustment I set to enjoy a program on TV, used to have to be readjusted each time I received a text, notification, etc, due to the volume and equalizer returned to the default settings. Happily, app support immediately reached out and gave me several options to correct and avoid my issues. I now set my volume and equalizer that is comfortable for the program I am watching and then go to settings on my IOS and turn off Bluetooth. Wa La, no longer having to readjust the volume. When I am no longer watching TV, I go back to settings and turn Bluetooth back on. This has taken care of all issues. ### 1/5 — More control over your devices *2023-01-18, version 2.5.0* If you had more control you could get better results. Coming from Resound to Oticon this is a downgrade in the app. The control for the tinnitus allows +0 to -5 what a crap range. Let me fine tune it a bit more so I can help my audiologist, then save it. Let us save a profile so once we fine tune these to what we’re finding in the real world results are we can go on with living. The resound app is WAY better with controls over your 2000+ dollar devices. Allow us more than +4 to -8 or 0 to -5 on volume and to save a custom profile. These would be MAJOR improvements especially the profile one for the tinnitus sufferers out there. ### 5/5 — Service Professionalism *2023-01-12, version 2.5.0* Kristian had been my service tech. The attention to my problem was extraordinary. Very complete and precise instructions. My observation had been fairly frequent connection drop between my hearing aids and app. with four separate devices being involved. We were able to discover as to why, a fix was determined. A lot of hard effort was put into this, and throughout very professional. Best technical service I ever experienced. 5 star for sure. ## Frequently asked questions about Oticon ON ### What does the Oticon ON App do?
