Phonak RemoteControl App for Audéo V: What happened to it?

Hearing Aids
#11

I’m so glad that I haven’t upgraded my iOS. I’m still happily using the RemoteControl app.

#12

The app is back and working well for me.

Don,

What hearing aids are you using?

Am using the Phonak Remote Control app, not the Phonak RemoteControl app nor the MyPhonak app. It had disappeared from app store. I searched far and wide, came up with threads that was discontinued/abandoned. Then one day I found it was back on same search shown discontinued. Downloaded, I think from Play Store. Can no longer see it there although its still installed and working. Last time it was pulled from my phone without me being aware. Hoping not to lose it again.

Weird stuff. Mine stopped working when I upgraded my ios.
Thanks for the info & hope it continues to work for you.

Not sure all the blame lies with Phonak here. It is not uncommon for apps to ‘break’ when Apple does an update. I think some of the blame is on Apple.

#18

I’ll have to politely disagree with you here. I believe it’s the software manufacturer’s responsibility to keep up with different operating systems upgrades.

I get what you are saying. Apple does not make that easy all the time. The way the certify app upgrades can lead to delays in upgrades and for whatever reason Apple’s system upgrades often ‘break’ apps. I ran into this issue fairly frequently when I used iPhones. in my experience it has been a nearly non existent issue on my Android.

I have seen this on www.phonak.com:

“The Phonak RemoteControl app is now discontinued. If you want to use remote control functionality with your new Venture or Belong hearing aids, please use the ComPilot II or ComPilot Air II. For Audéo B-Direct hearing aids music streaming and phone call functionality are not affected”.

Very bad Phonak. You are still selling Phonaks Virto with no support?

I don’t see what the RemoteControl app does that the ComPilot doesn’t.

I wear Belong aids.

I think the Remote control APP is free and the Compilot doesn’t

#23

But you have to have the ComPilot for the RemoteControl app to work. It won’t link straight to venture or belong Hearing Aids.

Ok I’ve found a reason to have to app now. It’s got me being lazy tho.

I can adjust the volume of my TV Link via the app, instead of walking to my TV and pressing the + or - button on my TV Link.

I find different TV programs either too quiet or too loud. I never like it too loud otherwise I can’t hear my house mates talk.

Pressing the volume on my ComPilot changes my HA volume rather then the TV Link.
