User Reviews

Users find AB Remote helpful for CI control and media use, but experience frequent disconnects, volume resets, and a lack of key features due to little or no ongoing development. The app also has usability and accessibility gaps. Key recurring requests include Apple Watch support, tone/bass/treble controls, ambient/noise features, multi-device pairing, and a more reliable, user-friendly experience.

Pros

Helps manage cochlear implant (CI) controls and programming.
Useful for watching videos or listening to music with CI.
Works on iOS/iPadOS, providing compatibility with Apple devices.

Cons

Frequent disconnections and pairing issues; unreliable connection between the app and CI/hardware.
Volume settings do not persist and can reset when using other apps or receiving alerts; split-volume often reverts to the loudest side.
Lack of ongoing development; outdated app with long gaps since last update; missing features like Apple Watch interface, EQ/bass-treble controls, and ambient/noise cancellation.
UI/UX is criticized as outdated and non-intuitive; controls are hard to find or use.
Requests for multi-device pairing (e.g., multiple CI devices) and better compatibility with hearing aids.

This can’t be the official app for something I went through a tedious process for. I wish I had done research before choosing AB. There’s just no way this company makes the money they make and has an app this terrible. Connections suck, UI/UX is awful. I’m praying there’s an update because I can’t just wake up one day and choose another provider when there’s literally a device of theirs in my literal head.

It’s such a trivial thing, but it would be wonderful if the app would show the remaining battery percentage for bilateral implants. It’s incredibly stupid that if one battery dies, the app won’t show the remaining battery percentage on the other side.

Absolutely the worst app ever. 3-4 times per day to shut phone off to change programs and 2-3 times per day deleting app and reinstalling. Will anything ever be done to fix, or is there another app I could try?
