This is a terrible app and not what I expected. The only function it provides is to download your phonebook and send alerts from 4 apps from your cell phone to the Vtech phone. To me it should work in reverse. Notifications and calls should be sent from the Vtech to cell phones.
Very basic. This app should be able to connect a headset to the phones. It does not. Can connect to get notifications on cell phone and transfer phone lists but that's it. What is the purpose of this app?
Succesfully paired with my Pixel 2 but the app doesn't function at all. A piece of crud product/app.
Not meet expectations. Cell phone doesn't have functionality to the Vtech at all. Can't make call from cell phone nor answer Vtech from cell phone.
Good connection but needs an upgrade
this is a bad app i do not conciter downloding it and it only has 2 oppsins
Accidentally loaded this app
Junk, waste of your time!
App does nothing
Dont waste your time. Negative stars if i could
I would have given you a no star.
I have a HTC One S and have connected via Bluetooth to the DS6521-3 Base Unit the light is solid on the base and Bluetooth shows connected to phone audio. When I try to use the app the message I get its " Device not available , Make sure Vtech DS6521 can connect via Bluetooth when using the app".
I think the major problem, at least for us, was the lack of information on how to set it up. Finally clued in that we had to hit the button on the homebase of the phone while one of our cells searched via Bluetooth in order to pair the two together. Before that we were trying to work with the handset and were wondering why neither of our cells were picking up on phone under the Bluetooth section. Now both of our phones are paired and tested and everything seems fine. 😊
App seems to show up with no issues, but won't connect to VTech DS6521. Which is odd since the sister app for contacts will... Hopefully you can fix. On a side note, phone calls with VTech DS6521 on Bluetooth via the Nexus 5 also don't work...
The app won't connect to my Vtech phone that told me to download the app in the first place.
my Bluetooth shows it there but app will not connect Galaxy Note 3....hopefully when I get Note 4 it will work :(
When connected to the hone phone via this app, I cannot use any video calling with messenger, oovoo or whatsapp. Instantly disconnects each call. Uninstalling and returning this phone.
Shows up, but doesn't connect to the phone. Its properly paired with the base because I can take calls. Use contact sync for contacts, at least that works
so maybe this app is missing this feature - but anyone know how to adjust the notification volume on the DS6291, I only see ring volume and keypad tone - and the volume on my note 4 is turned off and I see no feature on the app to control this - would be nice to tone town the alert volume - other than that they work good, would be a cool feature that the handset's provided the SMS details or whom the email is from - vs just that you have a new SMS or email - but that would cost a lot more than $89 I guess
Does not work on Galaxy S4. Says can not connect.
Phone is connected but app won't connect, please fix
Says phone doesn't support Bluetooth
My previous phone connected. Now that I have a new Samsung, looks like I have to buy a new vtech before it will connect.
Problems accessing my Samsung s20 phone. Tapping on the screen or double tapping really didn't work, but all of a sudden screen would appear -- and then swipe wouldn't work. Turned out to be VTech connect to cell. Uninstalled that app and everything good on my Samsung phone, but now don't have that app on to connect to my house landline calls.
