The CS Customizer app allows users of Sound World Solutions' CS50/CS50+ Bluetooth Series personal sound amplifier, Companion, or Sidekick products to personalize their settings and control the device via Bluetooth link from their smartphone. Under the "Personalize" tab of the app, an automated program will walk you through the steps in tailoring the performance of the listening device to your individual preferences. This tab also gives you the option to adjust the baseline setting of your listening device to one of three preset listening profiles, or to your personal profile The "Settings" tab allows you to select two additional environmental settings designed to optimize the performance of the listening device in specific situations. Restaurant Setting emphasizes the directional microphone to focus on sounds coming from in front of you and provide rejection of unwanted sounds in noisy environments. Entertainment Setting provides increased low frequency response for a more natural, balanced sound at musical or theatrical events. The app also provides an "Equalizer" tab to adjust individual settings for treble, mid, and bass frequencies for a truly customized user experience. You can also adjust the volume, similar to the volume button on the listening device. Finally, the "Tools" tab gives you the ability to change the language of the voice prompts in the CS50+, Companion, and Sidekick. You can also turn of the A2DP music setting if you do not use it and you don't care for the sound effects from the phone. You can also access the User Guide for the CS Customizer from the "Tools" tab.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CS Customizer at none against !Run For Life's 1. CS Customizer also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). !Run For Life's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

!Run For Life holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CS Customizer has 9 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of !Run For Life's written reviews are positive against 50% of CS Customizer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

!Run For Life ships an update every 15 months, CS Customizer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
