### 1/5 — No Bluetooth access if phone is linked

*2022-01-26, version 2.60.2*

No other app that uses Bluetooth fails if some other device is also connected. But this one gives you an error message if, for example, your phone is connected to your Tesla. Since your phone is your key to your Tesla you can’t just flip it off so you can lower the volume control on your ears.

### 4/5 — Separate bass and Treble Controlsl

*2021-11-27, version 2.60.2*

The slider controlling bass and treble at the same time (on my Signia HA’s) is not a very satisfactory system. All else is just fine. For music listening on channel 3,  separate bass and treble controls would better tailor the sound. KFTaylor

### 4/5 — Great Product! Good App

*2021-03-29, version 2.60.2*

The Sigma products I have a great! They changed my life! 
Maybe it’s just me, but the app is a little difficult to understand, even after I’ve read the instructions. I don’t change the settings, but when I replace the batteries (about every seven days for ea one, but I wear them 18+ hours a day) the app always reads that the volume levels are too low on the hearing aids. I don’t know why. I replace the batteries, put the hearing aids in both ears and open the app to make sure the master volume is in the center of the control slide. After getting the message that the volume is too low, I again turn up the volume on the aids. I don’t understand how the volume gets too low when I change batteries. Other than that, the App is great! I can discreetly and remotely change programs, etc. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Needs more adjustments

*2021-01-24, version 2.60.2*

First when I take my hearing aids out of the charger it should reconnect to my cell phone so the settings that I have used already would re connect with ought having to reprogram. Having to were hearing aids is already a pain in the you know. That would help a lot.

### 3/5 — Not bad but no cigar!

*2021-01-15, version 2.60.2*

Coming from the mini-tek, I like not having that thing around my neck. I wish there was a way to see where the volume is at when you turn it on. What is the factory settings? The app doesn’t give you any insight into the status of your aids. Do they need charging? I need more info?

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work if other Bluetooth devices are connected

*2020-04-03, version 2.60.2*

I like the idea of this app but it is almost worthless to me. Whenever I go to use it I’m told that it can’t connect if there is another Bluetooth device connected to my phone. I have a watch which is always connected to my phone via Bluetooth, so this app never works. Alternately I would have to go into settings and disconnect my watch every time I want to use this app to adjust my hearing aids. It is easier to just use the buttons on the aids to change the volume or select a different program, although I can only access programs 1-4 with the buttons - not 5&6.

### 5/5 — Knowing is the battle

*2020-01-23, version 2.60.2*

Now that I have someone that taught me to get the max out of my equipment and this app, they are both awesome.  Thank you to makers of this app, I look forward to getting my next update.

### 2/5 — Too slow to start

*2020-01-07, version 2.60.2*

The app works OK but could be so much better. Very slow to boot. For such a simple app, the boot time is ridiculous. The graphics are very simplistic. I would prefer a dark background so it isn't so noticeable when using it in a movie theatre. Would also like more control to customize myself.

### 1/5 — Buggy - Speaks When Typing

*2019-11-27, version 2.60.1*

Even though it’s turned off, every time I text “auto-complete” words are always spoken whenever I text or type into the phone (it’s doing it right now). This alone makes the app unacceptable. That it makes my phone speak in a helium-cartoon voice is annoying (to everyone within hearing distance, since the speech emanates from the phone speakers. 

Other than that, I find the app to be overly simplistic. Though it does function. 

As others have mentioned, not working while Bluetooth is turned on is perplexing and unwieldy. And just plain dumb. 

I have expensive hearing aids that work well, but accompanied by a ridiculously buggy app. A serious shame.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2019-11-08, version 2.60.1*

I’ve used the app for almost 2 years. Works well, easy to fine tune or redirect as needed. A minor inconvenience to note, I’ve had to delete it and re download 3 times. The download corrected what was not responding or working. Other than that👍
