When loaded app lags even with 1,2000 mbps internet. Changing angle freezes the app and camera needs to be unplugged to restart it. ### 1/5 — Cry detection disabled for free tier… that one is kind of an essential *2023-08-12, version 5.51* Cry detection has been disabled for free tier… that feature is kind of an essential ### 1/5 — Five Second Delay, Freezes All The Time *2023-06-03* I would only use this monitor if you’re keeping an eye on your child in their playpen or something similar, definitely not for sleeping. The app CONSTANTLY freezes so your kid might be wide awake and you’d have no idea if you were only relying on the app. The sound may continue to play but th screen will be completely frozen. There’s also at least a five second delay. It’s a nice idea because the camera moves but not practical for a sleeping baby with how often the screen freezes. It is not my device because it happens on my phone, my husband’s phone AND my iPad. I have another baby monitor that never has this issue so there is no connectivity issue with my wifi. It is an issue with this app that needs to be fixed. ### 1/5 — What’s going on *2023-05-30* App has been terrible lately. Continuously just a black screen. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-04-26* I’ve suffered through this camera for a year now. Luckily we can hear the baby pretty much anywhere in the house because you cannot rely on this piece of junk. The live feed NEVER works (it’s not the internet connection either). Sometimes you can get it to load if you feel like waiting a couple min. The alerts are also a joke…5-10 minutes delayed. Even get alerts she’s crying when she’s not in the room. Absolute waste of money. It doesn’t even deserve 1 star. ### 1/5 — Sad and Angry *2023-04-08, version 5.41* Why would I buy over $100 camera and still have to pay for baby’s daily activity?! ### 1/5 — Could be better, constant connectivity issues *2023-02-01* As others have stated; wifi connectivity is the big drawback with this monitor. I’ve tested my network and it’s solid-so it’s not the issue. The camera disconnects at random-at night in particular…which is the worst possible time for it to happen. We’ve had a few times where our son woke up and we didn’t know due to the camera being disconnected for some random reason. There was also an issue in the past with clunkiness, but the app has been improved some to address that…. More work to be done! ### 1/5 — Way too glitchy *2023-01-03, version 5.35* Love the camera. Hate the app. Consistently glitches. Half the time I can’t see video and it will randomly turn off. I’ll probably return the camera if this persists. ### 3/5 — Good camera, App needs improvement *2022-11-14, version 5.31* The quality of the picture is very good during the day and night. The sound works good. The app could be better.. There’s some delay between the actual mouvements and sounds that we see on the app. There’s some delay on the app when I’m trying to turn the camera (example if I press to turn the camera to the right, it takes a few seconds for the camera to react and actually turn) it’s the same thing if I try to talk or play a lullaby. Notifications work great, I like that we can have the choice of notifications we receive (mouvement, sounds..) One thing I really hate is that we need to pay to have more options on the app.. this camera is already 200$+ and we need to pay more every month if we want more (daily summaries, analysis of sleep, face recognition, smile detection, cry graphs, recording, memory clips)… ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-11-02, version 5.30* 1.not working consistently 2. Camera is not working in the night 3. ITS TOT ALL NOT WORKING HOW MUCH I TRY TO RESET 4. WASTE OF MONEY ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-07-24, version 5.26* The live video doesn’t work I wish I would’ve read the reviews before buying live video barely ever Loads and if it does it’s for like two seconds it shuts off whenever it wants to if any of y’all are reading and care about the safety of your home or child don’t buy this ### 1/5 — Monitor *2022-05-23, version 5.23* Camera is good but app is always down or not working correctly… all the reviews that says something along those lines are correct. The app is the worst part of the whole thing. ### 2/5 — App issues *2022-05-21, version 5.23* App keeps shutting down and loosing connection with the camera. Also won’t reconnect with camera when this happens. Camera itself has a good picture and nice features however they don’t work properly. ### 1/5 — Absolutely a waste of money *2022-03-26* Live view hardly ever works and it works perfectly on my other cams so it’s not my connection. I get motion alerts but video won’t pull up so I have no clue if I’m being robbed or if my dog passed by the camera. On the events list it won’t show me any alerts that happen within the last 2 hours like now on the event page the last video is 905 pm , it is now 11 pm and I’ve gotten at least 10 notifications of sound and motion alerts but not a single video. Highly disappointed and won’t recommend this to anyone, it’s as useless as the fake non working dummy cams ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dissapointed *2026-07-11* Have the camera hooked up via ethernet, and seems to work okay, but the fact that the app is 85% attempts to get you to purchase subscriptions for basic functions makes my blood boil. Would never buy or purchase again. ### 1/5 — Terrible, don’t waste your money *2025-10-27, version 5.67* I wish I could give no starts. When we first got it 4 years ago, the service was good. In the past couple of years things have been going downhill steeply. It will randomly freeze. Audio will just stop and not come back. So if you are trying to use it as intended, it is completely useless. I wish I knew not to waste my money on overpriced cameras with horrible cloud service at best. Do not buy, you are better off using the sound that travels through the house than rely on this as for me that is the only option once the audio disappears within the first 10 minutes of starting the app every evening, at least that’s when I notice it. If my son is sick I hear him cough throughout the course but not through my phone. Same behavior on my wife’s phone, on an Android tabled. Using the video streaming through the website is even worse. I have explored all options to no avail. I wish there was a way to get my money back. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy this. It’s terrible *2025-10-23, version 5.67* Worst object and app I have ever seen in my life. Setting up the camera probably works 1/35 times. Would put a 0 if I could, even worst minus a trillion ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-09-04* I will start by saying it’s a camera when you need one but its not a good camera, it’s super laggy even when it’s right by the WiFi and you never actually have a good quality image/video. It’s definitely not worth the price at all. Wish they made something better.😕 ### 1/5 — No playback *2025-06-29* Wish you had either charged a one time fee, or included the cost of this app in the monitor at purchase. Losing ALL playback options unless I pay for yet another subscription made me really regret buying it for my first born, if I am ever to buy one again it won’t be this brand. ### 1/5 — Garbage App *2025-04-23* Camera used to be free to use. Now you are required to pay or else you cannot use the camera. Video quality on the camera says 1080p but it more like 420p ### 1/5 — Look elsewhere *2025-02-15, version 5.67* We’ve used up to three of these cameras in our home for years and initially loved them, even recommending them to friends. The product, functionality, and customer service were excellent—until the company started limiting free features. Now, we can only watch live video and have no access to past events, which is essential as parents. Viewing past footage now requires a paid subscription, making the camera practically useless unless you upgrade to a monthly plan. As a result, we’ve started replacing them with Google Nest cameras. They not only look better (though Invidyo’s design was never an issue for us) but also provide all the necessary features without additional charges. ### 1/5 — pushing subscription on old customers *2025-02-09* we’ve had this camera for 4 years. over time we have lost more and more functions and features due to not using the monthly subscription. now losing the ability to look back at even just the last couple hours of movements and sounds. we bought THIS camera with a description explaining it can monitor those things. i understand the more unique/ additional features being subscription based. but this was for so long a basic part of the camera we relied on and paid for when we initially chose this camera. their description of product is misleading even to long term customers. ### 1/5 — Bait and Switch *2024-12-30* The company recently change to a subscription model and didn't grandfather in customers who had already purchased the cameras. Moreover, they keep changing the subscriptions to charge for "services" that used to be free. What a cheap, dishonest, and penny pinching move. ### 1/5 — Money Hungry *2024-06-15* We’ve been using this for 3 years, and initially it did what we needed it to do. Overall we were happy with it, but as time has progressed features keep getting taken away from those that aren’t paying monthly. So bravo on your business plan but shame on you. We’ll probably be switching to a different brand for our next child. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Piece of mind ❤️ *2026-07-19* I love watching my home even if I am 5,000 miles away. ### 5/5 — A comprehensive and advanced app and monitor *2025-10-22* Really impressed with all the functionality built into this system. ### 5/5 — Good camera *2022-10-14, version 5.27* I see a lot of reviews commenting on the app, my app works just fine. It hasn’t crashed, and I can hear my baby all night long. I love this camera ### 5/5 — Love the camera and app! *2021-07-21, version 4.99* Idk what’s up with all the negative reviews.. but this camera and app work great for me. I’ve never had any issues out of either! ### 5/5 — Easy setup and works great *2021-06-19, version 4.98* Just finished setting this camera up to watch our bunny and it works as expected based on all of the core features we were looking for. I’m not sure that I would replace a complete baby monitor with this but the camera and app both seem to work well for us. Camera quality and feature set is a lot more robust than the other Amazon cams we found. ### 4/5 — Good tech support, quick response *2019-10-22, version 4.75* Camera is great video and sound. Only issue is that you need good internet. We took it with us on vacation and it wouldn’t work with the wifi available at the Airbnb. There is a 2 second delay but it’s fine. App update created some issues for apply users but I contacted support and they helped me immediately. ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2019-08-18, version 4.71* Worked very well! ### 4/5 — Need TvOS app *2018-08-18, version 3.74* Decent app but needs more indicators to show what’s going on with the connection. It’s not always clear if it is the WiFi and the camera, or app causing issues. For the most part restarting the app gets everything going again. Definitely need a tvOS app. I can’t afford another dedicated iOS device for this! ### 3/5 — Great when it works! *2023-07-01* It works great 90% of the time but that 10% has been the source of a lot of frustration. ### 3/5 — Great Product Needs Work *2023-03-03* The camera itself does a lot so it needs a very strong internet connection to function. Households with multiple devices pulling on the internet will cause the camera to loose connection to the wifi. The app has good intentions however is not consistent. I frequently go into the sleep log and all the data is missing. I restart the app a few times and it comes back. Also because multiple people can be logged into the app at one time changes made by one person don't reflect on the other person’s device. This causes my husband and I to duplicate the sleep log. The prep time should be optional. The room temperature is great love this feature. Overall great product just has room for improvement. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
