Cloud Baby Monitor +4

It Worked!

It worked. I was extremely skeptical, and I really hesitated to trust it. There was a bit of an install hiccup that could actually be a show stopper for some, so I would have to give it a 4.76 if I could. However, once installed on both devices, I can say it woke me up when our grandson stated waking up and left me with no doubt he was ready to get out of bed— even if I wasn’t. The app blocks out it’s white noise, but baby sounds came through clearly.

Prior to an out of state trip, my daughter left us with a baby and without his high-priced baby monitor. The guest room is on the other side of the house. The previous night one of us had to sleep on the couch, so we were sure to hear him when he woke up. So I did some research and took a chance with my $6.00.

It was only one night, but it worked as advertised. If something changes, I’ll update my review. For now, though, I am happy with my purchase. Having said that, I think a dedicated hardware monitor is preferred. However, if you don’t want to invest in an expensive piece of hardware you will use infrequently and probably not long, I can recommend this app. Make sure you install it well ahead of bed time and test it before relying on it. The instructions are lacking, IMHO, but it was easy enough to figure out reading on the App Store, their website, and from within the app. The app itself is fairly intuitive. Again, I’m somewhat shocked it worked…

Thanks for your great review, much appreciated :) Martin!

After 4 years with this app, it works perfectly every time.

We have used this since our daughter was a baby. It has worked better than any baby monitor out there. With the ability to connect WiFi, cell, or Bluetooth, it worked no matter where we were. When one connection fails it automatically finds the next possible connection. My daughter is four now, and we still still use it to monitor her when she is playing upstairs in her room and we are downstairs cooking. The fact that it has an Apple TV app comes in handy when we have company and the kids are upstairs playing and the are downstairs. We can see all of the shenanigans going on. The battery drain is great if you have it on just audio and even better if you are viewing it on an Apple Watch. Yes! You can do that. We have have even used it on a cruise ship where the Kidd have their own room and we are next door. The Bluetooth connection doesn’t skip a beat as long as it is in range. In my opinion, this by far the best app ever made. It does what it suppose to do every time and works anywhere with internet or without. This app keeps impressing me every time we find a new purpose for it, it comes through every time.

It’s also good as a Senior monitor, not just for babies

With his permission, and without the video, just using the audio, we are using this to keep tabs on my 91 year old dad, who lives with us, but in his own separate space. We were actively connecting regularly, off and on throughout the day, until the last couple of weeks. He’s taken a bit of a turn for the worse, so we’ve had it connected with at least one of our devices 24/7 since that time. In the past couple of weeks, he’s fallen several times, and this app been extremely good to have, because all he has had to do was call out, and we could run to help him up. It’s such a nice app to have, far better than the call for help button on his cell phone with which he would have to get the phone out of his pocket, open it, and press that call for help button. With this app, all he has to do is call out, and we’re there lickety split. So good for our peace of mind, and for his as well.
From time to time, there might be a glitch, thus the 4 stars. Nothing too serious, and in one case, the resolution for it was just the latest update, which came at the same time the glitch happened. If I could do 4 1/2 or 4 3/4 stars I would, as 4 stars seems too little, but overall, it’s been a lifesaver, perhaps even literally.
