## What is Luna?

With Luna, you'll always have a baby monitor at hand when you need one. Luna converts two iPhones or iPads into one secure baby monitor with unlimited range. Receive an alarm when your baby cries, listen to the automated audio stream or look at live video footage. You can use the app when connected to Wi-Fi or with a 3G or LTE mobile connection. Luna consumes much less battery power and data than other baby monitor apps. Luna is consistently reliable, even when it's running in the background.

RELIABLE, SIMPLE, SECURE

By using the latest technology, Luna offers maximum reliability and security. You'll never miss an alarm again.

CLEVER DESIGN

We've invested a lot of time in creating a sophisticated and beautiful design. That is why Luna isn't just user-friendly, it's also nice to look at. Plus, while Luna is monitoring your baby, it displays all the important features.

INTELLIGENT ECO MODE SAVES BATTERY LIFE AND DATA

Thanks to our unique Eco-Mode, the Luna app uses 4 times less battery power than any other baby monitoring app while also conserving your data usage.

UNLIMITED COVERAGE

Wherever you are,. as long as you have an Internet connection, the Luna app consistently sends you alarms and live audio streams when your child wakes up.

AUDIO AND VIDEO STREAMING

Your Luna parent station automatically receives a live audio stream whenever there's noise in the children's room. Alternatively, you can check the app yourself at any time you like. The video stream will also be activated at any time - without any feedback.

RUNS RELIABLY IN THE BACKGROUND

Luna is a multitasker! As opposed to other baby monitor apps, Luna runs reliably without issues in the background. This frees you up to use your mobile device for other things when you need to.

ADJUSTABLE SENSITIVITY 

Luna will graphically display the background audio level of the last few minutes. The app will also help you to define the right alarm threshold.

ACTIVITY LOG

Luna shows you how long your child has been sleeping and it provides you with a notification record.

ENCRYPTED DATA TRANSFER

We protect your privacy. All data transfers made by Luna are encrypted by SSL. This means that no one else will be able to access your data.

INTELLIGENT CONNECTION MONITORING

You're on the road and the internet connection went down? Don't worry! Luna continuously monitors the connection between the baby station and the parent station and will notifiy you in case of any interruptions. Luna will also try to automatically restore the connection as quickly as possible.

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

You will need at least two iOS devices. Make sure that both devices are connected to the internet, and you're good to go!

### 2/5 — Hard to get going

*2026-08-02, version 1.63*

Cant reslly stream. No option for free version

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-07-05, version 1.62*

Not particularly hard to stream audio reliably, people have been doing it for nearly a hundred years yet this app managed to screw it up every single time. The app always disconnects and never recovers even if both devices are on the same wifi. Do not use

### 5/5 — Nicht gut

*2026-06-20*

Ich hab die App vor ein paar Jahren für 14,99 gekauft. Schon mit fehlfunktionen wie Ton geht dauernd aus Video geht dauern aus und dann gar nicht mehr. Und jetzt bekomme ich immer angezeigt premium kostet 19,99. kann die nur jedesmal für 15 min kostenlos testen. Whats wrong hab sie schon gekauft was soll das. Werde die mal anschreiben was das soll. 
Und der Ton geht auch bei den 15 min Tests immer aus Video geht immer noch nicht.

### 5/5 — Effective!

*2026-06-12, version 1.62*

Works like a charm!

### 3/5 — Eigentlich tolle App

*2026-06-10*

Wir nutzen die Luna App schon seit rund 4 Jahren. Anfangs noch ohne premium seit ner Weile auch mit.
Gekauft habe ich die premium Variante, weil es oben in unserem wlan nicht zuverlässig laufen wollte und ich dachte, dass es sich auf diese Weise verbessert.
Hat es auch, zum Teil zumindest. Das Netzwerk Problem wurde da durch behoben, nicht aber die regelmäßigen Abbrüche der Tonübertragung. Die videoübertragung klappt garnicht. Auch nicht das meine Geräte manchmal keine Verbindung zueinander aufbauen oder sich garnicht erst finden. Alles irgendwie zu verkraften, wenn auch ärgerlich bei dem Preis. 
Garnicht geht allerdings die Tatsache, dass die App nach wenigen Minuten im Hintergrund einfach ohne Warnung abschaltet, was jetzt zum wiederholten Male dazu geführt hat, dass ich sehr spät erst mitbekommen habe das mein Kind weint. Das ist ein absolutes no Go (weil ihr groß und breit damit Werbung macht, dass sie im Hintergrund läuft und ich genau auf diese Funktion aktuell angewiesen bin) und wird wohl jetzt dazu führen, dass ich mir ein anderes Babyphone zulegen werde. Sehr schade, aber so leider nicht sinnvoll nutzbar für mich.

### 1/5 — Seriously unreliable -

*2026-06-01, version 1.62*

Constantly having to reconnect to audio and video. Spend the whole time trying to get it to work, then the baby’s nap is over. Not fit for purpose. Don’t waste your money.

### 3/5 — Idee dahinter gut, Umsetzung muss noch besser werden

*2026-04-27*

Wir finden die Luna App grundsätzlich wirklich gut. Leider haben wir aber nicht die Möglichkeit 2 Geräte mit unterschiedlichen Apple-ids als jeweilige Station zu nutzen. Wir haben ständig Probleme mit der Videoübertragung, auch wenn wir sicherstellen, dass Internet etc alles funktioniert. Oft lädt und lädt die Videoüberwachung und es wird einfach nichts angezeigt. Das Laden der Videoüberwachung dauert uns (wenn es dann funktioniert) grundsätzlich viel zu lange - meist 10 bis 15 Sekunden bis man überhaupt was sieht. Das erste Mal Video wenn wir eine neue Überwachung starten funktioniert auch nicht, da müssen wir dann immer einen Neustart machen und dann geht’s erst wieder. Für das Video braucht man schon recht helles Licht.
Die Tonübertragung und auch die Präzision finden wir ziemlich gut. 
Vermutlich werden wir nicht verlängern, bereuen den Kauf aber nicht und würden es für eine kurze Überwachung unterwegs empfehlen, für zu Hause auf keinen Fall.

### 5/5 — Easy and convenient

*2026-04-11*

This app is such a great way to keep an eye and ear on the baby when away from home. The fact that wifi isn’t necessary is fantastic. The sensitivity setting means we can even have white-noise playing without it triggering the “baby awake” notification.

### 5/5 — Best app I’ve bought

*2026-04-04, version 1.62*

Bought this app 4 years ago, best money I’ve spent. Used regularly

### 2/5 — Sometimes it works other times it doesn’t at all

*2026-03-04, version 1.62*

This app is great for a quick fix but not long term. It works here and there and other times I won’t pick up the audio at all only send you notifications that baby is awake. Very upsetting to not be able to hear your babies noises.
