Cloud Baby Monitor App Reviews

Awesome

We all have old phones lying around, why pay $100+ for a baby cam with less features and get stuck with an app that does not get updated? This app is a steal and does everything I want in a baby monitor. Awesome!

Very pleased with it

The microphone is so sensitive that it compensates for when the room is too dark and I cant see my kid. I use the iPad as the child cam and my phone as a parent cam and this works well. Phone to phone however doesnt work very well, but over all I an still pleased with the app.

Best baby monitor

Ive had this app for years now and I love it. It has continued to add features over the years and the developers really embrace the new offerings from Apple such as widgets, watch app, prompt new iOS support, and useful 3D Touch support. Ive contacted their customer support a couple of times and they respond quickly and seem to really know their product extremely well.

Perfect for us

Great audio. I dont use the camera but mostly because I havent figured out how to mount an iPhone somewhere! I love that you can put the app on any device. I use our old iPhones as the child units. Only warning, it drains batteries quickly so make sure you turn off between uses, or leave it plugged into a charger in the babys room!

Awesome!

Works very well! Highly recommend! I have used this app exclusively for the past two years to monitor our child. It has worked flawlessly every day and night.

Great app

When it works which is most of time its a great app. It tends to lose connection quite often & will reconnect quickly. Its annoying if it happens at night because it will wake you up!

New update makes it even better

I love this monitor. Its relatively (see imperfection 1 below) easy to set up using 2 devices on the same wifi network or via the cloud with an account. You dont need an account if you only intend to use wifi. The recent update added the apps ability to auto detect the network and the app now automatically switches between wifi and cellular networks. This allows the monitor to stay on when you use certain apps that used to make it disconnect. The night light on max is *very* bright, but adjustable from the child and parent units, so thats actually a major plus. Ive often put it up on max to quickly check on my child and then turn it off and it lights up the whole room! Also very useful in place of an iPhone flashlight for those times when you need something brighter. The low setting is nearly-off, and the gradient is very responsive and gradual, so you can achieve your ideal lighting environment. I like the starry night screen too because its a nightlight, but it doesnt disturb my daughter even when the iPad is very close. Obviously, you can adjust your devices brightness, but even on max it doesnt bother her. Now that shes 2 years old (Ive been using this since she was about 4-6 months), she knows when she sees the stars that mommy is on the other end and can talk back to her, so she puts her face up to the iPad/computer and just speaks "mom, where are you? Coming, mom?" Its so sweet. Multiple parent and children monitors can function simultaneously on the same device app. I havent used the multi child function, but I have used the multi parent one, and thats very convenient. I also like how you get an alert on the parent device when the child device is low on battery. Ive sought customer service assistance with a question about a feature awhile ago and they were nice, prompt, knowledgeable and helpful. They followed up several times. This is a very professional company. Areas of imperfection 1. I couldnt find a way to change my password and/or close my account, so I had to set up a new account. Not a big deal, but Im divorcing, so I would have liked to have had a way to ensure no screw ups on my end. Luckily, that hasnt been an issue. 2. When you pair devices for the first time you need to accept the new parent device on the child device. I understand the need for this, but its inconvenient to have to sneak passed a sleeping if you forget to do this. Its only the first time, and only happens when you use a new device. 3. When noise is detected on the child unit a set of lights flash...this is going to be a poor description...they appear as bars, ranging from green-->yellow-->red. #s and colors of bars indicate how loud the noise is. Anyway, I wish I could have my device vibrate in addition to having the visual signal because Im not always staring at the app screen, but I would be able to hear my phone vibrate even if I forget to turn the volume up. I thought this feature had been added, so if I find out that this, or any of the other issues have been addressed, I will update this review.

Totally worth it

Loved it , even though some minor issues such as connection lost when using cell data

Horrible connectivity and sensitivity

Really wanted this to work but it did NOT pick up any but the loudest noises and constantly drops and has to reconnect.... and my battery died really quickly even without the video on.... save your money and put it into a decent real monitor.

Works Great

This app was a life saver. Works perfectly!

Peace of mind

Having the convenience of visually and audibly checking in on my son as hes sleeping is the biggest relief for me. I can even click in with the voice option and calm his spirit when he wakes up. Its 2015, what will we think of next?

Works great!

This app works beautifully but the signal will only be as strong as your home wifi. If you have latency it is likely your home network, not the app. This app works awesome in real time so I can see the baby at all times. Gives me great peace of mind and has actually allowed me to take a shower and do some laundry from time to time!! Cant be without it!

Best baby monitor app out there!

I have been using this app for 6 months already and it is just perfect app for video monitoring. With unlimited range you can monitor your loved ones without a distance limitation (video works over 3G, LTE). Another great feature is possibility to play favorite lullabies to calm the baby in the evening. I just have to give a tumb up for this app and recommend it to all parents! Keep the good job up guys.

Too Sensitive

I have had this app for more than two years and until recently it has been excellent. After the last update the microphone is way too sensitive, even after adjusting the settings. Quiet sounds like a ceiling fan running or my child turning over in bed suddenly sound like WWIII.

Way Worth It

I had a $100 gifted baby monitor that was supposed to hook up to an iPhone which never worked. Didnt even think to use my iPad and iPhone as the monitor instead. I tried a free app which was just covered in adds

The best app Ive ever spent my money on!

I seriously am amazed over how this app works. It seriously is the ultimate baby monitor in the App Store. I truly recommend this to anyone with young children or even for home monitoring pets. I seriously standby this app and will always recommend this to parents and pet owners. Thank you developers!

Wont work outside the house?

If Im at work can I take a pick on my kid? So far I cant get it to work, unless Im connected to my wifi at home. As soon as I leave the house with my cell phone, it drops the connection with my sons iPad. Is it only made to work within the same wifi? -Otherwise it works great within our home.

App was great, but is suddenly useless

For the first two months I used the Cloud Baby Monitor, it worked a charm. But suddenly the parent unit is no longer connecting with the child unit, despite a strong WiFi signal in our home. Website offers no support options other than getting on the companys e-mail list. Pity, because it was really great before.

Excellent

Been using this app for two years, cant do without it. Excellent app, excellent support, thank you!

Great App Great Customer support

This is a well functioning well designed app. I have had a couple of issues but the support has been great and the issues were resolved in a very quick manner.
