Needs improvement and phone gets really hot
First of all kudos to create a solution for people who are hard of hearing.
Couple items I would like to bring to attention:
1) The phone gets really hot while running this app. Perhaps because it keeps microphone always on. This is a major concern
2) The Bluetooth enable message kept showing over and over again although Bluetooth was enabled.
3) The vibration intensity on Apple Watch didn’t really make me feel the alert while I was sleeping. Had turned on the vibration intensity to Prominent on the watch settings. Perhaps it’s more to do with how weak the haptic is on Apple Watches
4) The sensitivity settings were not visible on my app contrary to what is shown on the website.
Would love to get this app and paid version unfortunately there are couple shortcomings that need to be fixed.
Works well
Clean app that does what it says!
Nice app but...
Nice and useful app but need more detection sounds like water running, calling you by name or screaming sounds, car sounds up to 50 feet or less. I wish this have a widget for iWatch. Thanks for your support and compassion!
Well-built, versatile app for the DHH
I have auditory processing disorder. I wish there was a way for the 2-way conversation feature in this app to allow for keyboards on both ends of the screen for parties to type back & forth. I notice on my iPad that the 2-way conversation feature only fills 1/3 of the screen, making the text quite tiny. If someone is verbalizing to me, this app will transcribe, but then when I type back it has no text-to-speech feature.
As for home sounds/alarm sounds, that’s a feature I personally don’t need. I can hear sounds in general. I just neurologically have limited speech comprehension.
Needs some work
Has potential. But: 1) There’s text missing in the Privacy section of the Settings. 2) No obvious or intuitive instructions. For Deaf folks you’d want a captioned video explaining how to use it, too. We didn’t know what to do.
The text feature is useful. Reminds us of the Ubi Duo device but on your phone.
