App Profile: AB Remote

It's a great app, only a few small issues. One is when I leave my phone on the same bluetooth volume it was yesterday, sometimes when I put it to 0 volume I can still hear the video/game. I'm not sure if this is an issue for other bluetooth devices, it's just been doing that. Another issue is that the AB only connects to my right cochlear implant. Doesn't work for my left, it's weird. I've tried connecting both of it using the AB app, but it only works with the right.

This would be close to a five star app if it didn’t keep changing the volume every time an alert is received or when some other apps are opened. If the split function is being used with different volume levels for each side, the volume changes to match the loudest setting… Not good. And the setting changes when opening other apps is more than annoying.

Many problems. Not “Apple Ready”. Has to reconnect every time the app is pulled forward and the reconnect process is very slow. If you open an another app that streams or receive a call, it resets the volume and doesn’t reset when the call is complete. If you have the app open, it times out and disconnects and there’s no way to stop it. If you use it with the Phonak TV streaming device it aggressively connects to the device anytime you are within range. Aggravating when you’re not the one watching TV. There’s no simple way to mute the streaming device while you’re watching TV.
