Philips HearLink 2 4+

I have paired my hearing aids with my iPhone. When i connect to Hearlink2 I am prompted with UPDATE APP. When I choose that it just brings me to the app in the App Store with no opportunity to update. I am connected in my iPhone settings and have to do any sound control from there. Please advise. It seems that all I can do for now is pair and am unable to change the sound from the app. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app several times. Too frustrating for words.

I haven’t had any of the connection issues others have reported. App has been stable and is easy to navigate. The interface isn’t clunky or difficult to navigate.
But
It doesn’t do much. Volume control. Switch programs. Updates firmware. Minor eq controls.
What I’d like it to do:
Let me enable programs (there are like 12 custom programs like music mode, voice in noise, etc…). Why does the audiologist only have access to these? I should be able to add/remove those programs.
I’d also like the ability to program my own hearing aids. I’d like the ability to tinker and save it as a custom setting. It’s going to always revert back to defaults so I can’t mess my hearing aids up doing this.
Give me control over which microphones are active! Please! I’d love to be able to only enable the front directional microphones and disable the omnidirectional/side microphones. In certain settings the side microphones really hamper me. At the office I do not need to hear what’s going on next door- but I need to hear what’s going on right in front of me.
What about either an in app help section on how to change the domes or clean the mic’s or change the wax filter? Even if it just launched a browser and took you to a webpage with the tutorial on it.
Please- the battery life indicator- can that be made a little more accurate? Mine reads 100% then 70- and then they’re dead. It’s supposed to provide alerts but I’ve only heard them once ever. The percentage doesn’t ever seem to be accurate either.
The app isn’t bad- I just think it could provide more custom options for people who are tech savvy. Not all people with hearing loss are 70 years old. Some of us are younger and very adept at using computers/phones/apps.

They worked great for a while, I could easily switch between my phone and iPad by just turning off the Bluetooth connection to either one of them. Now it won’t connect to either. I removed the app and reinstalled it. Done that 3or 4 times now. It also told me to turnoff hearing aid then back on or put on charger, done that as well, but it won’t go to Next, it keeps on going back to “put in charger” or “turn off for 3 seconds and then on” given up now. I tried for 2 days. I don’t need all the frustration and stress at my age or for that matter at any age
