Crap
This monitor worked great when I first purchased it, but now that I've had it for two months it doesn't work the same. I have to change the battery every week, the alarm goes off randomly, the device disconnects from my phone when it's two inches away, and says it's not detecting motion when my son is clearly moving! This was the worst $170 I've ever spent. No wonder they have such a short time to allow returns and refunds. I'd recommend any other monitor than this and Mimo.

App update
Great update, the new app gives me better much better range and keeps connected all night.
Great Improvements
The new improvements to the Monbaby make it even easier to read at a glance with color coded movement and wording. Monbaby is a great device for parents wanting reassurance that their baby is sleeping AND breathing soundly! Thank you for a quality product. (I have used Monbaby as my monitor exclusively for 6 months- best investment!)

App in desperate need of an upgrade
Everything Mallonb said I third! Please consider their suggestions and update the app. Otherwise this thing is useless. Actually, I take that back a little. I can at least get notifications if my son turns over onto his stomach. That is as long as my phone is in the same room as him. Please make a better, more useful app or at least the one that's advertised. Thanks.

Baby Monitor App
Connects to Monbaby smart baby monitor and let's you monitor breathing, movement, and sleep position of your baby.
Bad connection
The device says it connects to 200ft, but mine doesn't. I looked it up and it says phones can't connect that far to Bluetooth. I basically have to stay really close to my little guy, otherwise it doesn't stay connected. Even in the next room it has problems staying connected...
Good but needs improvement
EVERYTHING Mallonb said I second!!! with those few improvements this review would get 5 stars!!
Good, but app needs improvement
Pros
1. Works almost as advertised
2. Alerts are very loud almost like amber alert. This is the best part.
3. Easy setup/install
4. Stays on baby nice and snug.
5. Great battery.
Cons
1. Bluetooth connection is terrible. Barley stays connected more than 10 feet away. You in no way can go all the way outside like the video. I have to leave my iPhone in the babies room to keep connected. This is a pain when an alarm goes off in the middle of the night for a roll over and I have to get up vs just looking at my baby camera monitor next to my bed.
2. What are the premium functions and how to I access them?
3. Needs pause or longer suspend function. 60 secs is not enough time to even change your babies diaper.
4. Need to add an alert for when there is no motion at all for a period of time. Let the user select from 30 secs, 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 30 min, and 1 hour. This will let me know if the baby stopped breathing. The activity alert just goes off way too much.
5. Need to Add alert and feature to show if baby is on his side.
6. Need to add the ability to pair more than 1 device at the same time. You can do this with many other apps and it's a built in function of Apples Bluetooth. I am using an iPod touch for now but it's a pain to carry 2 devices around. The iPod makes it easier to pass off to my wife, but allowing us both to pair our phones would be best.
5. Add Apple watch app, this would make it way easier to see your babies current positions and manage alerts.
