Ratings and Reviews
Starkey Livio Edge 2400 rechargeable
Well these are the most expensive and up to date Starkey aids, after 6 weeks I have returned these, the app is very poor and will not save new settings, refers back to “temp” or “normal” I have saved several settings which once the aids are recharged the settings are lost, there are lots of “fancy” things available in the app but when you aids to help with hearing, the app leaves a lot to be desired, yes the volume adjust is easy and can be saved the four auto shearing zones are almost a waste of time, the app works with my iPhone however there’s no auto answer I still have to use the iPhone green button to answer, clearly the needs a real injection of improvement. I’m really disappointed with these aids as I thought they would be the perfect answer, the final straw was the fact that they gave me “hay fever” like symptoms, tried a couple of days without the aids symptoms went, but returned within 2 hours of refitting them, very poor underdeveloped App and disappointing Aids I thought I was buying the best, disappointingly not 😤
Needs considerable development
Conceptually a great app but much too clunky at present: very slow response when changing settings; frequently locks up; EQ in particular appears to be very poor - sliders will often simply fail to work; adding new memories is often not intuitive. Building new custom memories is also not easy to do well as, other than through trial and error, it is not obvious what settings are like to work best in particular circumstances. This is particularly an issue given that it does not appear possible to have more than 4 of the preprogrammed settings on the aids (the others, which appear to be saved on the app are all ‘custom’ and so determined by the user); so ‘restaurants’ is not among my pre-programmed options as I have prioritised other options but it is not clear how best to replicate the restaurant setting as a custom memory using the app.
This is my first set of truly sophisticated hearing aids. The aids themselves appear to be very good but I suspect I am not getting as much out of them as I could - there are three main issues from my perspective: the app is not as good as it should be; I need better information on which settings in the app are likely to work best in particular circumstances; it would be much better if more than 4 preprogrammed memories were available.
Very disappointing Starkey hearing aids app
The app with a mind of its own! Used in conjunction with Starkey hearing aids this app is simply unreliable and frustrating to use. Is it the Bluetooth connection? Is it that my iphone X and the app is somehow incompatible? Is it that the app software is badly written and allowed out into the public domain by human incompetence and lack of testing? Who knows? But I do know that sometimes one of the channels decides not to operate, and then for no logical reason decides to work while the other channel shuts down. Or perhaps both channels shut down and the hearing aids become no better than an extremely expensive pair of earplugs.
It seems strange that this app is still out there allowing Starkey to push their product on to an unsuspecting public; don’t they know that this app is making a mockery of their hearing aids - or do they just not care?
