Fine then Terrible

I can’t begin to describe my frustration with Nanit - it was great for about a week. The buffering then became unbearable, then it stopped working when I minimized the app, and now - 9 months in - it only works maybe 40% of the time at all. It just buffers and still doesn't allow me to listen when the apps minimized. I’ve spent hours on the internet trying to figure out a fix, submitted a ticket to Nanit, and if you do some digging online, you’ll realize the inability to use Nanit when the app is minimized is a very common problem, and Nanit has been useless for every single person that’s experienced this problem. I quite literally have never seen a single user who said the issue was resolved. So you pay a premium for a terrible product. It BLOWS MY MIND that Nanit has any good reviews. Note to all reading this - don’t get it and don’t put it on your baby register. It is a terrible product.
We love our Nanit camera and breathing band. Picture quality is amazing and the alerts are always accurate, not to mention the breathing band. Together this camera system has given me peace of mind as a first time mom. One of best purchases!
Absolutely love it!! I love having the ability to check in on my kids anywhere right from my phone. The ONLY reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the notification sound is too quiet and the app doesn’t give the option to pick a different sound. If one of my kids starts crying, I usually hear them vs. the app waking me up or getting my attention. It is also annoying that you have to have a subscription to watch videos back at all but I still would not pick another camera. The quality is great and the ability to split screen with 2 kids is AWESOME
I know this is a new product, so it’s likely changes will come over time. But one thing I would suggest to upgrade in the future is the screen lighting up when you tough the screen, instead of having to click the bottom on the top. Other than that small thing, we are really loving the monitor!
Although our baby isn’t born yet, our nursery is all set up with our Nanit camera. We love the versatility to choose where we want the camera with the sturdy floor stand. The app and WiFi connection was easy to set up and we appreciated the extra adds that came with the bundle. Looking forward to keeping an eye on our little one once they arrive to the world!
