Review summary

Users find The Original Baby Shusher App effective and simple, providing longer shushing durations than the physical device. However, many report frustrations with the app randomly stopping during use, often around midnight or after just a few minutes, even with timer settings. Interruptive ads promoting the physical shusher further disturb usage. Some features like volume adjustment are also non-functional, leading to a less reliable experience despite being a paid app.

Pros

Effective at soothing babies and helping them sleep.
Simple and easy to use, similar to the original Baby Shusher device.
Timer feature allows longer use than the physical shusher (up to 12 hours).
Works better than the physical device in terms of playtime duration over short intervals.

Cons

App randomly stops playing noise despite timer settings, causing the baby to wake.
Ad pop-ups interrupt the shushing sound, often to promote the physical shusher, which is frustrating especially since the app is paid.
Timer settings do not function as intended; the app shuts off around midnight or after a few minutes regardless of settings.
Volume adjustment (equalizer) feature does not work properly.
App lacks multiple shushing sound options.

2024-07-12	Sh*****	Very useful but it seems a bug has been introduced. I've set the it to run for 12 hours but it keeps stopping over night at random times. This is on multiple different phones. Would love for you to have a look at this and fix it.

2024-04-04	Ja*****	Love the app, and it works great for my baby. My main complaint is that it seems to shut off around midnight every night. I got the app with the intent to have it play all night long. It's super frustrating when my baby wakes up because it turned off. I have the latest version of the app and have the noise adjustment turned off.

2024-03-15	Mi*****	As a grandma, I've seen my fair share of baby gadgets, but the Baby Shusher App takes the cake. It's simple, it's effective, and it's a lifesaver for tired caregivers everywhere. Just like the original device but up to a 12 hour timer... no more resetting every 30 minutes. My daughter sweared by it, and after seeing it in action, I'm now a believer too. It's the perfect gift for any new parent or the elderly who need a little extra help in the sleep department.

2024-02-10	Sa*****	GLITCHY. Constantly stops shhing for either no reason or when the add pops up. Ruins nap time and wakes my baby by suddenly stopping. I even have the 12 hour setting on. I like that it WORKS when it works...but be nearby so you can quickly turn it back on before baby notices. So frustrating.

2023-01-29	An*****	PLEASE FIX THE APP! My baby loves this app and it soothes LO perfectly however it is so annoying that the app keeps stopping despite being set on a specific timer. I've only encountered this issue on Android. I had no issues on my iPhone. Very annoying considering I paid for the app.

2022-12-04	Sh*****	The app will stop making noise sometimes for no reason and other times because the ad to buy a physical shusher comes on. This makes it really annoying, I use the app over the physical one because it is suppose to stay on. Many times baby will wake up since it turned off. Please fix these issues. Otherwise would be a 5 star.

2022-11-18	Tr*****	Only just downloaded the app with great hopes of it saving me since I forgot our physical one. Unfortunately very disappointed as it doesn't matter what timer setting it's on it stops after about 5mins. Would be great if this could be fix!

2022-09-27	Ma*****	The app works, as in the description, but I was having a bad day and happened to cry near my phone. Afterwards, I had opened the app to use for my twins when I was greeted with a big ad saying "You were crying. We heard you." And then tried to sell me a physical baby shusher. So, it works, but listening and responding to me when I'm clearly upset already is creepy and gross. Don't do that.

2022-08-10	Je*****	Like everyone else commented the app will shut off for no reason. I've tried to see if there was some pattern that could explain why and when it would shut off but there is no reason at all. Given the number of complaints about this specific issue you would think the app developers would fix this esp since its not a free app. Pretty disappointing :(

2022-06-30	Am*****	It randomly stops/turns off. Sometimes to show an advertisement for their other product. It really defeats the purpose when it doesn't continually run even though the settings are correct.
