Nanit

Worth the subscription fee! The camera quality is much better than Owlet and we have not had very few issues with the breathing band. I would highly recommend this product.

This is a long standing issue across Reddit. If you search for Nanit app opens by itself, this will show up. The developers have not solved this for a year. This happens so regularly now that my iPhone battery cycles have gone in the red. This is a MAJOR issue. On top of that, the phone creates a feedback loop when I’m in the same room with the child. It has woken up the baby more times than I can count.

Have used this app for nearly 4 years, with two children. It’s generally fine but has one major flaw that Nanit won’t disclose but you should know: turning on “background audio” doesn’t only mean the audio will keep playing while the phone is asleep or you’re doing something in another app. It also means Nanit can restart the audio after you close the app, without warning and without any way to even know it’s happening. And it only happens sometimes, not every time. It will run down your battery and burn through your data if you’re not on WiFi, and you won’t even know if your volume is low or you’re in a loud environment. I just spent months trying to get Nanit to address this. They finally acknowledged it happens but aren’t disclosing it and are spinning it as a feature to improve “reliability.” You be the judge of that. We will not be renewing our subscription.
