No Bluetooth access if phone is linked
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.
Separate bass and Treble Controlsl
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
Great Product! Good App
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!

Needs more adjustments
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.
Not bad but no cigar!
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?
Doesn’t work if other Bluetooth devices are connected
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.

Knowing is the battle
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.
Too slow to start
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.
Buggy - Speaks When Typing
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.

Works Great
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👍
3 star app
I gave this a 3 star rating because it does not control individual hearing aids. It only controls the pair. I keep having one hearing aid louder than the other side, I would have to drive 1/2 hour & make an appointment to have them adjusted. This is senseless as it should adjustable from the app. Not hard to do.

Scanning my program into the app.
Very difficult to scan the program when asked to do it.
Most times it won’t scan although I hold it steady and there is no indication that the scan was successful.
If the program will remain in memory, why does it go into the scanning mode and just “sit” waiting and not do anything????

Unstable but helpful
I have used Signia and Easytek for a few years. Even with a new Easytek from Siemens and an updated app, the from combined tech devices manage to end up unstable time to time. Volumes suddenly increase to the max, causing uncomfortable feedback and a bombardment of loud sounds. When stable, it is very helpful, particularly with phone calls. Very frustrating to have to live with the bad aspects so I can’t rate it any higher than a 3.

This app insults the user’s intelligence
This app treats us users like children who are incapable of PROGRAMMING our own hearing aids...instead of offering an option to take control of the programming (with appropriate warnings of course!), it refuses, thereby forcing us to go see a paid “professional” ... well, I’m stuck with Signia for now... but when these start to wear out, I’ll certainly never buy this brand again ....UNLESS Signia changes this control-freak policy and informs us that they have done so

Works well but not with other devices
I really like this application to use with my hearing aids, however I also do use a lot of other devices that are bluetooth, such as wireless beats and bluetooth speakers. You have to shut off all other devices to get this one to work. So that’s why I’m only giving it a three star rating.
It would be nice if the manufactures adjusted the application so it doesn’t matter what other devices you are using or coordinating with.

Junk
Less than 50% of the time the app works properly. With an IT background I fully understand the designed functionality and it occasionally works, however, the majority of time I have to fiddle with the app before it finally works. I decided to write this review because I’ve spent the last 20 minutes trying everything I can think of to adjust the volume with no success. I expected more from the manufacturer!!!

When it works...
I got a notice that there had been update and I needed to delete the device and reconnect. Following their directions, I did reconnect with my iPhone but loss the app. The update date warning kept coming back even though I was reconnected and wouldn’t go away! I’m in the 30 day trial period and if this how their system works, I’m thinking seriously thinking about switching to another high end brand! I question Signa quality because of this screwup! The hearing aids are very expensive and this crap shouldn’t happen!

You took away with last update
I thought there were more sounds as I adjusted up or down before last update. Those sounds helped me to be sure I had my hearing aids adjusted where I want them. Now I only hear a tone at the middle but I can’t be sure how many levels I’ve gone up or down now. I’m having to open the app and adjust again when I’m out with others which is annoying.

Battery test
I liked my older version of this software. I could test left and right battery and get 3 beeps for a full charge, 2 beeps for less charge. Other than that I really like this software. I can sit in church and direct my hearing to the pastor and cut off some of the side noise. Thanks for this program.

Volume too low
App keeps telling me the volume is too low to work properly. Have tried several things to correct but keeps telling me the same thing. This doesn’t happen every time but is becoming more and more prevalent.
