Clearer wording when your daily free minutes run out, so it's obvious they come back the next day. Improved reliability in Listen mode when your audio devices change. Fixed a case where leaving and returning to the app could interrupt a Conversation session.

Fixed a rare freeze that could happen when starting a listening session quickly. Fixed the subscription screen appearing unexpectedly after closing a message. The microphone setup guide is now available in all 19 supported languages. Improved text contrast in the language picker. Improved audio reliability when switching between Bluetooth and external microphones.

The paywall no longer appears every time you open the app. It now shows up only when you reach a limit or use a premium feature. New built-in microphone guide. Caption accuracy depends almost entirely on how much sound actually reaches the app, so OndaHear now recommends microphones that have been tested with it, and points you to the guide if it detects a weak signal during a session. The remaining-minutes badge now works as a button in every mode, so upgrade options are always one tap away. New app icon. If you already have OndaHear installed, your daily free minutes are unchanged.

Better sound and captions with Bluetooth We fixed how OndaHear works with Bluetooth earbuds and hearing aids in Listen mode. Captions now stay steady and speech comes through clearly, even after switching audio devices mid-session. Live captions on AR glasses Connect supported AR glasses and see the conversation captioned right in front of you, hands-free. It is optional and works alongside on-screen captions. Steadier live captions Captions hold together more smoothly during natural pauses and background noise, so you lose fewer words. Reliability and bug fixes We fixed a rare freeze during audio device changes and made the app more stable throughout.

• New guided setup for first-time users, with a quick hands-on demo so you can experience OndaHear before you start. • Bug fixes and minor improvements.

• Live captions on Apple Watch. Turn captions on from your wrist and read them full-screen, with scrollback for anything you missed. • More reliable live captions. If speech recognition briefly stalls, captions now recover on their own instead of stopping. • Fixed a rare freeze that could happen when connecting a microphone during an active session. • Simplified the stereo slider to a clear Left / Right balance control. • Plus bug fixes and minor improvements.

Clearer sound. We fixed an issue that could make amplified audio distort at higher volumes — listening is noticeably cleaner now. New — Ear Boost: give your weaker ear a little extra without turning up the other (in Listen mode, with stereo earbuds). Smoother hearing test: your results now stay on screen after you save, so you can still export them as a PDF. Bug fixes and reliability improvements.

++• Now optimized for iPad. Listen, Live Captions, Conversation, and Live Translation all run natively on iPad — fully on-device, with the same privacy as on iPhone. • Faster, cleaner Live Translation on iPad. Translations stream as you speak, and a fix stops an earlier phrase from repeating when you switch speaking directions. • Text Chat fixed on iPad. Push-to-talk messages are now captured and sent reliably. • Clearer language support. When a language isn't available for on-device captions, the app tells you clearly instead of failing silently, and unsupported languages are hidden from the picker. • Simpler saving. You're asked to save your transcript just once — when you close a mode — so there's no duplicate save prompt. • View your transcript anytime. The in-session transcript viewer is now read-only, so you can read your captions without interrupting the session. • Fixed a repeating vibration when starting the Listen mode guided tour with earbuds or an external mic connected. • Reliability and polish improvements throughout.

• Clearer free trial: your 14-day free trial is now shown plainly — free for 14 days, then your chosen plan's price. No more confusing discount wording. • Daily free-minute timers now appear in Text Chat and Live Translation, so you can always see how much free time you have left today. • Live Translation now defaults to English → Spanish, and remembers both your spoken and translated languages. • Fixed repeated vibration during the Listen-mode guided tour when Speech Haptics were on. • Fixed an error banner that could linger after changing the app's language. • Audio warnings now appear in your selected language. • Reliability and polish improvements.
