I have ambivalent feelings about this app and camera. As others mentioned, there seem to be some stability issues with the connection, and without an extra subscription, the camera and equipment are grossly overpriced for what they can do. The app itself has some really odd user interface decisions. For example, you can only start breathing/activity tracking from the main screen, but to turn on background noise, you need to go into video full screen mode. It just makes it very inconsistent and inconvenient to use. Overall, the ability to track breathing and movement can provide quite a bit peace of mind. Update: It has happened quite a number of times that the video feed of tha app won't load on some of our devices [on the same network] but on others it will. This level of unreliability for a subscription app that has an important function is not acceptable.

Fancy but unreliable. The hardware itself is the rolls royce of babycams. clear image, good night visibility, no disruptions. The app however is so poorly working that the whole point of such a device is embarrassingly missed. The notifications, next to unchanged phone settings, would sometimes work as expected - and sometimes wouldnt sound at all. More often than not I would get the notification when Im already in my kids room halfway through a feeding - 20 min late. You cant sleep using it..

Nanit makes a great camera, and the app is overall good, but after a long back and forth with the support team about the app no longer working in landscape mode, they acknowledged that they have chosen to force the app into vertical orientation in a recent app update. I've always used a tablet screen on a nearby table as a viewing device so I could keep an eye on naps, but with the app now letterboxed, the video is so small it can't be seen. I'm disappointed by this change.
