I keep hoping for more – Parrot Zik Review

The app is OK, but not what I expected as part of an expensive headphone package. Some aspects are fairly intuitive, but others need some real improvement. I don't know if it would have been any good, but I was at least intrigued by the idea of all the custom settings created by professionals. The short list is just that - short. Also, Parrot -finally- added a battery widget. Only, it's a separate widget and not the sort that works with the Apple battery widget where all my other Bluetooth batteries show up. Why?? Why can't the battery level of my headphones show up with all the other batteries instead of cluttering my widget space for just the one line? Even my car stereo shows up in the Apple battery widget, which is wholly unnecessary. I suppose I just expected better and more frequent improvements as it's a fairly costly device that actually allows for improvements through app and firmware updates. *Also, as a new bug, the app is dropping connection to my headphones. They're still playing audio, but when I launch the app it shows that no device is connected, so cannot access controls or battery info. The battery widget, too, does not show data. iPhone 6s iOS 10.1.1 as of 2 Dec 2016.
