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Lack of ongoing development; outdated app with long gaps since last update; missing features like Apple Watch interface, EQ/bass-treble controls, and ambient/noise cancellation.
UI/UX is criticized as outdated and non-intuitive; controls are hard to find or use.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.

Recent reviews

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.

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?
