Here is the exact message I receive daily. Bassinest Disconnected Please check the WIFI connection is working and that Bassinest is plugged in and connected to power. If you continue to encounter issues, you may need to reconnect to your network on the Devices screen. ### 1/5 — App stops working *2026-07-14, version 1.6.0* Love the BassiNest!! It works great for our baby, however, this app does not work. It worked for one day, and then all of a sudden won’t get passed the initial loading screen. I am seeing other reviews stating the same issue which is unfortunate given it’s such an expensive product. To be able to use the app with the bassinet costs almost an extra $100, and the app doesn’t even work. I have tried restarting the app, my phone, and deleting and redownloading the app, none of which have worked. Halo needs to do better. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-07-05, version 1.6.0* Pure trash. If you have me writing reviews online you know the product is trash. Installed the app got to configure it. After configuration I wa sable to open the app maybe 3 times. Now it is stuck at the logo screen and does not move. Also the like the other review stated there is a clicking sound that was not there on day one. After day two the sound is annoying both the parents and baby. ### 1/5 — Won’t even let me log on now *2026-06-13, version 1.6.0* This app is a glitchy mess. Before it would crashe every once in a while. Now it won’t even show the Home Screen. Downloaded the app and uninstalled it 3 TIMES and now it won’t even let me log in with the proper email and password!! It just shows the buffering symbol ### 1/5 — A high schooler could have done better *2026-03-06, version 1.4.0* This seems like a data leak waiting to happen. Their own made a strong password doesn’t work. I left the app during setup to connect to wifi and it made me restart registration from the top. Plus it requires a firmware update that did not work even after 30 minutes. Useless ### 2/5 — It’s okay *2026-02-22, version 1.4.0* No trouble connecting and working with the bassinet thus far. However overall the app feels very clunky and outdated, not a streamlined user intuitive interface. There are also some design flaws: There is no way to actually turn off the timer for any of the settings even after you select to not automatically turn off. Would also like the option to turn on the auto soothing without starting a soothing preset. ### 2/5 — Don’t hit the Home button in top left corner *2025-12-30, version 1.2.0* Astonishingly simple bugs STILL present in this app, as though it was vibe coded by a drunk capuchin monkey using GPT ver. -69.0. **Don’t hit the little home button in the top left corner unless you would like your app to freeze or crash!!** Also, I’m not sure if the folks at Halo are aware, but this app appears to assume only one parent knows how to use an app. It is completely farcical that two users can’t both have complete access to the features, even if one must be the admin and the other a max-permission user. If they manage to fix these rather sad deficiencies, I’ll bump up the rating, but until then: A generous TWO stars out of FIVE. ### 1/5 — App freezes at best *2025-12-30, version 1.2.0* I have to restart the app every time I open it and try any feature. I get a notification that it turned on soothing function yet nothing turns on despite having no wifi connection issue. ### 1/5 — Glitchy *2025-12-27, version 1.2.0* Not the best app. I’ll be purchasing another bassinet now. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-12-19, version 1.2.0* Can’t even connect ## Frequently asked questions about HALO BassiNest ### What does the HALO BassiNest app do?
