## What is Cradlewise?

WORLD'S FIRST SELF LEARNING CRIB. It spots early signs of wake-up, learns sleep patterns and automatically soothes your baby to sleep, if needed.

===========

IT'S A BASSINET AND A CRIB - FROM BIRTH TO 24 MONTHS :
Cradlewise provides uninterrupted quality sleep to babies and saves parents an average of 2 hours a day. It combines the functionality of a bassinet, crib, baby monitor and sound machine – all into one product.

GETS THE BABY TO SLEEP :
When it’s time to sleep, simply place your baby in the crib. The crib automatically detects the baby’s wakefulness and soothes them to sleep with its bounce and sound.

GUARDS SLEEP :
Just-in-time soothing is key to safeguarding baby sleep. The crib spots sleep disturbances and soothes the baby back to sleep.

### 5/5 — Easy, intuitive app

*2026-08-29, version 2.4.4*

Easy to install and intuitive to use. Love the “take a picture” feature, and the layout of the app makes it easy to adjust the bounce rate and sound level all while monitoring baby in real time. Great experience so far!

### 1/5 — Connection is the worst

*2026-08-23, version 2.4.4*

When I tried to check my baby’s status in Cradlewise, it took about 1- 2 minutes, then showed either “no network” or a dark background with no baby. Terrible. I was in the same room with my baby.

### 1/5 — App development getting worse?

*2026-08-20, version 2.4.4*

We have had this for 18 months and the app is getting worse and worse, specifically with each update.  The app is non responsive at times, camera glitching, and now bounce function cannot be controlled, and bounce max settings are not followed regardless of our input. UNSAFE! Had to unplug just to keep crib from giving our baby whiplash. Ridiculous app for the price point. I will be posting about this everywhere including FB and online baby groups. Unbelievable!

### 1/5 — Trouble with app lately

*2026-08-13, version 2.4.3*

We really like the crib but the app seems to be getting worse. It completely stopped working today so I updated it and as soon as I open it I get a message that something went wrong and to restart or try again later. My internet is not down. Other wifi enabled devices are working fine. Also, the alerts are still sometimes delayed by several minutes. My house is small so I can usually here my baby crying but if I’m doing the dishes or in the yard, I won’t hear him unless the app notifies me.

### 2/5 — Camera WiFi Disconnects

*2026-08-13, version 2.4.3*

Although support is fairly responsive, we’ve had issues with our twin cradlewise cribs for 7 out of the 10 months we’ve owned them. When the cameras connected, they product and app worked well. The cameras on both cribs seem to disconnect too often for our liking and required fixes of new bars/cameras, a WiFi extender, and various times to reset and troubleshoot. The app is not built for twins, you have to switch back and forth in camera views vs dual view as well as both cribs being called “Cradlewise” on bluetooth, making it twice as long to troubleshoot.

### 5/5 — Consistently good

*2026-08-11, version 2.4.3*

I’ve only had a good experience. Connection is good and lots of nice features like sleep history and trends.

### 2/5 — Great Product, Bad App

*2026-08-03, version 2.4.3*

I really enjoyed the easy interface for the app when I first purchased my Cradlewise, but in the last 6 months this app has gotten worse. More app crashes, slow to load, and  losing connection and video when monitoring my baby. I also find it odd that they have in-app purchases for certain features when the crib was already so expensive.

### 5/5 — It isn’t as bad as what people say

*2026-07-30, version 2.4.3*

Unless it’s been updated a lot since the last reviews. The app isn’t bad at all. Yes, it’s difficult to pair it because it wouldn’t call out the pairing #’s or connect to WiFi but once it’s connected. It works great! You can set your own setting for how you want it to rock your baby. I’d recommend 100%. for the price you’d assume they have constant updates!

### 1/5 — Unreliable camera

*2026-07-29, version 2.4.3*

What is the point of a smart crib when a lot of the main features don’t work consistently. The camera doesn’t load half the time, the temperature sensor is always off by a few degrees (which can be a big deal) and the bounce settings will randomly reset back to the default 100% bounce intensity. I would never buy this again and would never recommend it to any parents.

### 1/5 — Broken product, no support

*2026-07-27, version 2.4.3*

Ours stopped working after about one month. They sent us a cable that took a week to arrive and a how to video showing us how to open up the internals and fix it ourselves. Rating at a 1 because there’s no option to rate at 0.
