Smartphone apps on an iMac?

I would like an "app" for my hearing aid streamer. (It sets the volumes etc). I don't have a smartphone or ipad so wondered if an app can work with my iMac (latest version)
the app requires.........

The ConnectLine App for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch runs on iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPhone 4s, iPhone 4, iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display, iPad mini, iPad (3rd and 4th generation), iPad 2, and iPod touch (5th generation) and requires Streamer Pro 1.2 App or later. When installing the ConnectLine App on iPad, search for iPhone apps in App Store.................


Any way round this please?

I'm not exactly sure if this is what you're looking for. But this "Streamer Pro" product (from the same company as the app you mentioned) seems to be the solution for computers:

It's the Streamer Pro that I have.
The "app" will change the default volumes.
The device picks up sound from Bluetooth devices and transmits them direct to the hearing aid. The volume can be adjusted on the actual aid but this is not loud enough when using the streamer, hence the need to increase the streamer's default volume settings using the app.

Ok…good to know. I'm pretty sure iOS apps (iPhone, iPad) cannot be used on a computer. But…sometimes they have a "computer version"…and that's why I visited the "Oticon" website…but didn't find anything:

Oticon Inc - Your Hearing

I would visit the website…and try their "Frequently Asked Questions" area. And if no solution there…then do a "Contact Us" at the website.

Thanks for that.
I am not familiar with "apps" so wondered if they could be used on an iMac .
Seems not.

Applications designed to run iOS devices(iPod Touch, iPads and iPhones) will not run a Mac. For one thing they are different architectures. iOS devices are all based on the ARM processor, while Macs are based on Intel x86 processors.

You really want an application that is designed to run on Mac with the version of OS X you have..

yes there is a way it's called android for x86 its a open source android platform being ported to x86 computers you can download the latest version here.

Android-x86 - Porting Android to x86

go to the download tab and download the latest version once finished you can burn it to a dvd-r or cd-r your choice and install it using bootcamp or using virtual box which is also free

there is however a pay for solution as well and it's not so nice its called bluestacks search for it on google it hasn't made to much progress yet though and they want to much for it.

Don't the volume buttons on the Mac itself adjust the volume? They should.

You can try the Android version of the app and use an emulator, or run it via Chrome.
