App is good, but feature-focus is wrong!
Overall a good app. It does what a basic, cheap, nanny cam is supposed to do. And it looks nice and all. But... this is not a basic, cheap nanny cam.
I was disappointed with the sound quality. The sound almost sounds like white noise. (And no, I did not turn on the white noise).
I cannot sleep next to a phone that has that much noise - why is it so sensitive when other devices are all quiet, and only picks up the sounds from my son?
Also, I think it’s great with heart monitor features and measurements.. great fun, if you want to spend money on all the accessories for that. But what about basic stuff like HomeKit or Google Home integration? That would actually be useful so you could integrate this smart camera into your smart home? But no.. seems like development goes to “fun to have”-features, instead of “need to have”, or even “nice to have”..
Fix the network stability issues. My Ubiquiti Access Point says the connection is great, but your app says medium. It takes FOREVER for the camera to connect and load in the app - sometimes I have to restart the app first. And there’s so many glitches, constantly.
Also... a cropping feature would be nice. The camera covers way more than the crib. It’s great that it has a crib area and Parent Pickup zone. But, I don’t want to look at the Parent Pickup Zone when I open the app. So if I could just view the Crib area only, it would be nice.
And finally.... I just want to repeat: Get that HoneKit and Google Home integration done! It’s literally a “need to have” in a camera that cost that much, in 2021...
