Connexx Smart Connect for Android
In spite of being too simple to be of very much use it is still buggy, drops connection, and freezes repeatedly, like what is more frustrating than freezing repeatedly? I really wanted it to be able to monitor battery conditions; but no help there either, as it shows the battery is at more than 3/4 right up until the when the battery dies. Pretty much useless. Very disappointed
Just geting use to the app. I think the features are good. I can't seem to turn off the microphone in my hearing aids to stream music, podcasts, audio books etcetera. Often the microphones are taking in white noise from the sourrounding? Perhaps there is help or setting available? Otherwise, the directional positioning is accurate but could be more flexable..
For all practical purposes I have great difficulty hearing phone conversations without this app. In that sense it is a five star app. I take away a star because the app gets confused sometimes in various ways, staying in streaming mode or thinking it cannot connect when in fact it can etc. I live with these minor annoyances because I really cannot function otherwise.
I like the app, but I don't like that the microphone pattern adjustment controls keep disappearing. Trying to get them back just to change the pattern is VERY frustrating. The same thing happened on the Stand Alone Smart Remote app as well.
I have had it for about 3weeks. It exceeded my expectations. My only problems have been phone calls "popping" in and out when I turn my head during a call; and, it frequently disconnects (maybe 3-4 times a day. The battery life has been good. I charge it at night and use it all day following the charge, which is probably 15-16 hours.
Absolute rubbish. Difficult to connect. When we finally got my phone programed, then we got my tablet programed it forgot my phone. Returning device, just not worth the frustration.
It needs more developing! One complaint is that settings made on the phone don't stick; it reverts to the previous setting. I would love to stream while using Google maps, but the first two or three words of every statement are lost. It frequently loses connection. I work a lot in industry with Siemens products; PLC, PLM, robotic simulation. They have reputation for excellence. Pairing this software with Siemens hearing aids is a slap in their face; a fart in their general direction.
Inexplicably difficult to connect, even more inexplicably disconnects without apparent reason and with no prompting until you attempt to make a call and find you're not connected. furthermore level of charge on the Smart Connect module is not accurately presented by the Light indicators.
I am so f---ing tired of the goddamnit beeping in my ears. I hate using this app, yet I need hands free. Even while writing this review I got many beeps. It is torture!
There is a problem with the smart connect app dropping connection with the necklace when in the auto mode. If I use the necklace without the app on the necklace works fine. With the smart connect app running on my phone my settings keep dropping out and I hear a tune in my ear ever 30 seconds or more.
What there is, is good. A user's manual that tells you what everything is would be helpful. Found it difficult to get information. Had to figure it out myself.
The app works sometimes. When used as a remote control only, it does not always connect with my hearing aids. After several attempts to connect I give up out of frustration. The battery level indicators only show when the batteries needed replacing, not a continuing level of battery life. This app is just OK.
Crashes on startup. Bass/treble control does nothing. Directional mic control very useful.
Make sure to mute the microphone when in streaming audio mode or the volume will change based on ambient noise levels.
Nice to have some control over some of the Trax 42 functions. The really great thing is to be able to answer the phone while driving.
This application could be good but it is not very configurable. It turns on when I don't want it to turn on and with applications that I don't want it to work with. It's either All or Nothing. Why would I want email notifications in my hearing aid?
Constantly will not notify text and it gets to when a setting is changed that it will revert back to the original setting after just a few seconds
Gives me instant control of my hearing aids. Battery isn't fool proof, but it is close enuff.
Without Smart Connect, everything works well. When Smart Connect works, it's PERFECT. But, Smart Connect creates most of the problems.
Very buggy, drops streams, battery life monitoring is terrible. Looking for other, better options.
Needs a GOOD overhaul! Very glitchy since the last update! Edge 7
I rated it the lowest because they have no customer service. I have been trying to find out what "Key lock smart connect" does for some time now & they don't answer customer questions.
Too simplistic you need to be able to adjust with more detail would be nice if you could turn up the hearing aids at certain times sometimes it does not pair not a very good set up for Siemens
I would give it 5 stars if I had the ability to adjust the volume separately, ie. Microphones, music, left and right. As well as mute one side and continue playing music on the other.
The remote control for the hearing aids is easier than reaching behind your ear. The Bluetooth support is pretty good. Talking on the phone is much easier when you hear clearly in both ears.
Remarkable app. I can finally hear my lovely wife's voice in a noisy restaurant!
Running on a Galaxy Note2. Lots of good functions. Update: Now have Galaxy note 4. App runs well. No problems.
In general works pretty good but won't stay connected to phone and sometimes hard to connect to phone
Extremely difficult to connect.. Disconnects by it self.. Basically not worth it
Cannot control volume while streaming from TV
Buggy hangs terrible app need a rewrite
It works but lacks much sophistication
Does not work as well as it should.
should be able to have more control from one side to the other an if can pair to the disk why not straight to your phone
With 80% hearing loss & a new Samsung S7 a good combination
Recent d/l seems improved over 2 plus years ago. No dropouts yet. Starts smoothly.
When it works, it is great...But it keeps stopping (freezing) and must be restarted.
Complete control over your devices but zero documentation
Good but disconnects to often when in range and does not automatically reconnect

Glichy is an understatement. Disconnects on its own, settings are on high every time, I go back and change it to medium. When switching off Pandora, I then had lots of white noise and I had to shut everything down to make it stop, but not every time. When it works right it is awesome. I keep checking to see if there is an update that will make it less buggy, not yet. It's a great concept.
