### 3/5 — Need a few upgrades, but I still like it a lot

*2026-08-26, version 10.20.0*

Really like the Sonicare… just wish it would have memory in order to give the app feedback when I don’t have my phone in the bathroom with me.

### 2/5 — Training is a failure

*2026-08-17, version 10.20.0*

This is a review of the app, not the brush. The 7300 brush itself is fantastic. The app’s main feature is training and feedback, but this fails to stay connected to the brush long enough to finish one brushing sequence. It constantly disconnects and says to put it back in the charger. However, the new brush is fully charged. So far the main training feature is a complete failure.

Secondly, as a dedicated brush-after-every-meal adherent, the “twice a day” goal tracking by the app is inflexible, not to mention gross. I want the app to track my goals, not some bare minimum compromise goal.

### 3/5 — Can’t find toothbrush

*2026-08-09, version 10.20.0*

Used this app since my wife and I bought new diamond clean toothbrushes. Now it can’t connect to mine, and I’m kind of peeved. Spent a couple hundred on a brush, and it doesn’t connect?

Update 8/9/26: I contacted Philips and they’re sending me a new brush. Sounds like a hardware issue. I’ve added back 2 stars.

### 3/5 — Unable to delete record

*2026-08-04, version 10.20.0*

Used for the first time and turned on the product and was testing to see how to control the speed and toggle on off. BAM 2 sessions of less than 6 seconds recorded and no way to delete it? I tried to unpair and it still stayed. Inaccurate data.

### 2/5 — Keeps dropping out connection with brush

*2026-07-31, version 10.20.0*

App has connection issues.  Connects to brush fine, then once started looses the connection to the brush and says please turn on brush - even though phone is right in front of me, and it does not record the brushing activity for the day.  Using latest iOS and app version.  Please fix!

### 2/5 — No longer works with Apple health

*2026-07-29, version 10.20.0*

No longer works with Apple health.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-22, version 10.20.0*

Great app

### 5/5 — Tooth brush

*2026-07-21, version 10.20.0*

What a toothbrush! It’s like using a power tool!!

### 5/5 — Stopped works, recovered after restart devices

*2026-07-20, version 10.20.0*

After last update it doesn’t recognize the movements and directions of the toothbrush. Tried to contact support (a few times) - no success, the support page told in is not operational times (it was, the time difference was taken into account). After review got mail from support - it is ok now

### 5/5 — Sonicare

*2026-07-18, version 10.20.0*

Love it

### 2/5 — The app can’t count properly

*2026-07-17, version 10.20.0*

Every time I use the app it’s subtracts between two and four times brushing. This morning it dropped from 161 to 158 what base are you using  to count in guys?

### 3/5 — Latest update ruined app

*2026-07-17, version 10.20.0*

Not impressed with having to press extra button now and wait for app to find brush. Same old same old, it wasn’t broke before, it didn’t need fixing.

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-07-16, version 10.20.0*

Good stuff

### 5/5 — Reinforces good oral health

*2026-07-15, version 10.20.0*

I love my toothbrush!!! When I went recently to my dental cleaning, which by the way is four times a year due to plaque. The oral hygienist said there was a mock improvement add that the plaque that normally built up between Cleaning was markedly less and that my gums looked very healthy. I definitely attribute it to the toothbrushing and the timely reminders to rinse, clean tongue and floss.

### 1/5 — Can’t find toothbrush

*2026-08-07, version 10.20.0*

Used this app since my wife and I bought new diamond clean toothbrushes. Now it can’t connect to mine, and I’m kind of peeved. Spent a couple hundred on a brush, and it doesn’t connect?

### 1/5 — 4回に3回は接続できないアプリ。カイゼンしてください

*2026-08-06, version 10.20.0*

朝の忙しい時にいつも接続が悪くてアプリと格闘。歯を磨く気が失せる。商品価値を下下げている。買って損した

### 1/5 — ブラッシング管理できない

*2026-07-30, version 10.20.0*

アップデートしたらまともに動かなくなった。正しい時間でブラッシングできない。2分のモードが10秒で終わってしまう。

### 1/5 — Latest update is a big step backwards

*2026-07-18, version 10.20.0*

In the latest update, you now need to tap “brush now” before you switch to the brushing screen or start brushing (without knowing for sure if it’s connected or not). It used to connect to your brush handle and switch to the brushing screen, so you weren’t worried about the screen timing out and auto-locking.  But now, if you don’t start brushing quickly, it’ll time out and you need to unlock your phone to be able to monitor your brushing. Please go back to the old system! If you want to make any updates, add a battery level indicator and remaining brush head life on the screen AFTER YOU FINISH BRUSHING, and consider adding a mouthwash timer button afterwards also so you have a convenient way to time it.

### 1/5 — Glitchy app

*2026-07-16, version 10.20.0*

This app kinda sucks. It glitched, doesn’t pop correctly and half time time doesn’t even show my brushing in real time. Very disappointing considering how expensive the toothbrush and toothbrush heads are.

### 1/5 — Pointless notifications

*2026-07-14, version 10.20.0*

I don’t need a notification at 3pm that the app can’t connect to my toothbrush when I’m not even home.  Stupid decision.  

Update based on the developer reply: a notification saying it hasn’t connected to my toothbrush in a long time is dumb no matter where I am.  I know if I’m using the app or not.  Don’t interrupt my life thinking your app is more important. Uninstalled

### 1/5 — Poor intelligence for a premium-priced product

*2026-07-13, version 10.20.0*

The toothbrush I bought cost more than 400 USD. It is the flagship premium product. The software it comes with, supported via this app, was a focal marketing point. You would think for this price, the app would be smart enough to attribute brush sessions after midnight to the same daily cycle, but it doesn’t. I also have doubts about the accuracy of the Focus map, which shows you a mapping of the areas where you haven’t been brushing adequately. I think there may be a tracking limitation depending on how you hold the brush. Also, the average duration and frequency sections stopped displaying average values for me this week. I tried resyncing, restarting the app, and updating it, but the issue persists. Overall, this app feels like an afterthought and is underdeveloped. You have a lot of work to do to bring up its quality to the price tag and claims you’re making as part of marketing your premium oral care products.

### 1/5 — Never able to connect

*2026-07-11, version 10.20.0*

No worth to download

### 1/5 — Great toothbrush, hit or miss app

*2026-07-07, version 10.19.0*

I really enjoy the toothbrush and how clean my mouth feels. The app however, is hit or miss. The timer consistently gets hung up while brushing, and at the end of cycle doesn’t record and asks you to continue brushing. If that doesn’t happen, the censor doesn’t record what side your teeth you are brushing. When the app works, it’s great. When it doesn’t, it’s frustrating at best

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-06-29, version 10.19.0*

Constantly breaking down
