Bernafon SoundGate Customer Insights

1. So why bother wearing it?BERNAFON SOUNDGATE Nice app to control hearing apps with my Android phone but it hasn't been updated since 2016 & many of us are now using Android 11, so for feature compatibility an update is overdue.Gives a firmware version error.

2. Now I know not to order another one! This app has better functionality.Too big and heavy and uncomfortable to use.Seems that my iPhone detects firmware 3.1.1 on the soundgate, and with my Android phone it claims it is not 3.1 (and that it is 3.0) and won't connect? Sounds like a logic error somewhere.

3. Or confused programming (I love the app on my iPhone, but would rather have it working on my private non-work phone....)App works well except that if using navigation software like Google maps or here maps the first couple of words of a voice direction are missed.

4. Similar problem with Google fit.cant use it - Not supported - The Soundgate firmware version is incompatible with the app.When connected it is great.

5. Says Soundgate needs version 3.1 firmware?? This is with a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.

6. My hearing aids don't connect to my phone without the receiver necklace.

7. App does not work.I lost the remote supplied with the hearing aids.

8. My Soundgate only has two settings, one default and one for music.

9. No instructions on how to program it for other situations, although the app ad pictures show 4 or 5 different ones.
