Old obsolete app

This app is at least 2 generations of iPhone out of date. I still have an iphone because the app won't work on an iphone15. Slow, unreliable connection. The only reason I use this is because the suppied controller never worked.

Poor support

Very slow to respond when there are issues and no support for iPhone 16 and 17.

Used to love it

And then one day my generator was no longer on the app. I’ve recently moved and haven’t found anyone yet in my new area to help me fix this. I don’t know what to do…

No updates???

PATIENT BEWARE!
No updates since the iPhone 14 came out? I can’t use my current device to control my battery pack? Not like I can easy change the device implanted in my back.

PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!!!

It’s been YEARS since Abbott & St. Jude Medical touched this app!! I have an implant that I CANNOT CONTROL from my new iPhone 17 Pro Max because Abbott is ULTRA LAZY!! The old iPhone that I was upgraded to when I had my module surgically replaced in 11/23 doesn’t hold a charge for more than a day…MAX, even without usage! I also DO NOT want to have to carry around an extra iPhone (an old one, don’t even remember its version) just to control my stimulator! The device’s iPhone always has connection issues! I have to literally hold the phone over the stimulator for it to connect!

Abbott… FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND YOUR PATIENTS… UPDATE YOUR APP!!!🤬
