### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-08-11, version 4.3.1*

It won’t connect to my hearing aids. Keeps disconnecting and now it’s none discoverable

### 1/5 — Won’t find lost aid!

*2025-01-23, version 4.3.1*

The find my aid doesn’t even find the one in your hand!

### 1/5 — New version of app

*2024-06-20, version 4.3.1*

This new version of the app is the worst. The app worked great with my Apple IPhone 13 Pro Max but it doesn’t work with the 15 Pro Max. It won’t detect the hearing aids and I have no way of adjusting them by use of the Bluetooth on my phone. I wish I had kept my 13 now. I loved the old version of the app

### 1/5 — Worst ap EVER

*2024-03-23, version 4.3.1*

I have been using the TruLink ap for many years and must warn people to choose another hearing aid other than Starkey.  I think the aids are okay but the ap is extremely worthless. It is so slow and crashes almost daily. I am getting frustrated just writing this review. I am about to upgrade my aids and will be looking at other brands. If I told what all the problems with the ap were it would take pages. Bottom line stay away from this ap.

### 4/5 — Be sure to pair your hearing aids in accessibilit, not Bluetooth. App works great!

*2023-10-28, version 4.3.1*

I had a little trouble getting it to work and Starkey straightened me out in email. Thanks!

### 1/5 — This app I frustrating and unreliable

*2023-04-09, version 4.3.1*

I’ve lost track of the number of times I’ve had to reinstall this app, because it suddenly stops recognizing one of my hearing aids. Very poor and unreliable.

### 1/5 — Crappiest App Ever

*2023-02-28, version 4.3.1*

Does not work - forever lost and can’t link to h/aids … never ever worked for me …

### 3/5 — User for several years

*2023-02-25, version 4.3.1*

location settings function works well.  Personalization is the most useful function.
IOS updates run from seamless to a cluster.  You often need to reconnect the phone to your devices first.   The apple watch function does not work since several updates.  
Don’t expect more than a few utility functions.

### 1/5 — TruLink

*2022-12-29, version 4.3.1*

One of the WORST APPS EVER !!!!!
This is WITHOUT A DOUBT THE MOST WORST APP FOR SUPPORT !!!
My wife still can’t understand what I say sometimes……
I have visited my hearing aid specialist numerous times but to no avail !! 
The $5000.00 we invested is a waste of money .. 
also, the Rayovac batteries that we were told to get keep getting worn out in a week or less !!
And don’t tell me that I’m purchasing batteries that the expectation date is near.
Your hearing-aids and especially the APP is a total waste of my time and money.. I know that I will most likely not EVER hear from you and your company again , so have a HAPPY NEW YEAR and ……….I can’t hear you !!! Lol

### 1/5 — TruLink

*2022-11-24, version 4.3.1*

Very poor.  Will not stay connected to hearing aids.
