Pros and cons of touchControl app for iPhone and iPad

touchControl app good for

I like the options of control s from IPhone still not sure of how to make full use of app , Ill keep tinkering with it till my next visit with the Audiologist. I was totally ripped off by buying top of the line aid 3800.00 bucks with battery charger 300.00 for that .
I am not 100% into what it can and cannot do,but I have grandkids that love to push Buttons and I was able to kind of reprogram it a little soi am happy with it. Hope to learn more on my next visit I love my hearing aids or just the fact I can hear anything at all! It has been years since I could actually understand the sermon at my church, thank you. I would be upset if I was taken advantage of the price as well but I will check into my pricing more carefully want to get a set for my Mom.
Been using for about 2 months now. Works pretty well. Sometimes not sure what Im doing but app is easy to navigate.
I have only used the app for a few weeks. This is a really good feature for hearing challenged. I had difficulty paring and needed the audiologist to use the bar code method. Why isnt the barcode provided with the instruction manual?
i like this app and it is a great way to control your hearing aids.
Amazing app, saved me a pile of money, I would refer this app to all those who need hearing aids, it works very well!!!!

Some bad moments

This ap does nothing meaningful to my hearing aides. The volume section does not significantly increase volume. Bass-treble slider makes no change in tone.
I think something is wrong with the new update. I keep getting the error message that the device volume is too low to adjust in app. Ive tried repeatedly to manually adjust my hearing aid and have also changed the batteries. Still the same error message. Can you check into this please. I have an iphone6.
Cant do adjustments with app in car because iPhone blue toothed to car system. Also, cant adjust volume if in loud environment. Had to go back and program hearing aids to do volume adjustments. Basically worthless app.
I have brand new hearing aids. They wont connect. My audiologist says lots of people have trouble connecting. Needs work
The product is wonderful when it works. The problem is that it does not work much of the time. We pay more for hearing aides because we pay for the brand therefore we expect the app to work effectively.
I was really happy to see this app finally arrive - however it crashes every time on my 6+ phone with 8.0.2
