Phone update

Please update app to current iPhones just bought 17pro max and went to log on having a rough day and the app is not supported.

Was great, now waiting on update to make it great again!

When I had the stimulator put in during 2019 I was sent home with an iPod touch to use as my controller and used it for a few years. Then one day I thought I’d try to controller app on my phone (iPhone 13 Pro) and that made it app even better… well, that iPhone had started showing it’s age so I upgraded to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and went to pair the phone to the stimulator and got the dreaded screen saying this device isn’t supported!

The app still works on my old iPod but the iPod battery is not very good anymore and will drop 20% during one use at times! I still check every few months to see if there’s been any updates to provide coverage for this phone but I’m worried that once they do cover it, my phone will be needing replaced and to get the newest phone Apple has will cost me again with the controller app.

Having one device (my iPhone) to carry with me on trips was great not to mention now my iPhone uses the USB-C charger but the iPod is a lightning type…

I guess it’s hard for me to understand why some phone models are acceptable to use while others are not. Could better understand if it was different operating systems but both are Apple and that’s the confusing part.

Frustrated

The app itself is great . However there hasn’t been an update to this app in 2 years . It would be nice if they could update this to include current iPhone 16 or 17.

App needs updating!!!!

What is going on the app needs updating. I have Apple 16Pro for over a year and still can’t get app on my phone. One doesn’t always think to bring a differs device in case you need an MRI or surgery, birth one dies think automatically to bing their phone.

Get with it, I’ve been waiting long enough
