Annie Baby Monitor: Nanny Cam for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

• By Hannah Shelley

  Oh, this is something

  We are budget-conscious parents, we were thrilled to try using an old smartphone as a baby monitor instead of paying big bucks for a new device. Annie Baby monitor is incredible! We love seeing our baby girl on the video - I check it each night before bed. The app’s ability to sensitize sound and let you even replay previous sounds at the touch of a button is so helpful for seeing if she was crying or just sneezing or rustling, etc. It’s great you can have it in multiple phones and even check it when you’re on a different wireless network; my husband and I love to check in on her! Truly a lifesaver app; we’ve recommended it to many other new parent friends!

  Good Baby Minitor

  The only reason I didn’t give this a 5 star is because I would like the picture quality to be much better. Being that I use two iPhones for this service I excepted the picture quality to be much better but it’s not. The sound quality is great tho. Another thing to consider is that it doesn’t have night vision. So I guess that’s why the picture quality is so bad when there is low light. Some things to note is that during the day, when there is light, the picture quality amazing. The only thing I would like them to do is update the resolution and add a (night vision) feature. I use the baby cam because I have to keep a close eye on my son who is epileptic and having a light on at night is not ideal, so I just can’t wait for that new update to see how well it does. Otherwise great app for only 30$ a year!

  Lost connection at least once an hour during the night

  I downloaded the app because my grandchildren were spending the weekend with me and I no longer have a baby monitor. My plan was to keep the app for future visits. The first night the app cut out every fifteen minutes and had to be restarted. The second night it cut out at least once an hour. I gave up and turned it off since everyone was asleep, but then I couldn’t sleep soundly because I couldn’t hear when the baby awoke. And then I come to find out I was double billed on top of it not working. I canceled my subscription and deleted the app. The developers believe that I am a competitor writing a bad review to hurt them so they “reported me to Microsoft”. Definitely not a competitor. I am a 63 year old grandmother of five who is just ticked off that I paid for an app that wouldn’t stay connected and that the developers take no responsibility for. I have since deleted the app and bought a monitor so I can have peace of mind when the kids visit.

  This saved me!

  My child’s monitor has fallen and I was unaware it was broken until it was dying and wouldn’t charge. I even took it apart and put the piece back that had gotten loose but it was a lost cause. My husband is deployed and I couldn’t just go out and get another one with my child asleep. I knew I could hear him from my room but didn’t like the idea of not seeing him. On a whim I searched monitors in the App Store and came across this! For $3 to use until the new one gets here is more than worth it! Unfortunately you can’t mount an iPad so at night I couldn’t see my son well, but once it’s light it’s fine. Super thankful to have found this!

  This app is really worth to pay for

  We have been using this ANNIE BABY MONITOR app for 18 months now, and it has never failed us! For me, it is absolute sleep saver. I can set this up and have my own free time for myself, I can read, cook, have a long bath, watch my favorite movie, and fall asleep with the TV on - I love that and I really missed that lately. Now I can do it all with no shame and no worries, because annie baby monitor is watching my kids for me. It will let me know when my free time is over, when that awful crying starts, and then I can choose If I wanna go and “save” my babies (from nothing) or continue with just chilling ;) Keep it calm - its a joke... First I thought that I need to buy some baby monitors, cameras and stuff, but other experienced mothers (unlike myself) recommended this app, and it is definitely worth it. Cheaper, saved time, works well, helped a lot… It is very easy to set up (and I don't use apps at all). Great thing is that Annie always let us know when the battery drops below 20 %, and I didnt found this feature in other similar apps.
