Not worth the hassle
Won’t stay connected to our wifi even tho even have some of the best and fastest wifi possible. Would recommend an alternative if you actually wanna watch your child sleep instead of the connection screen
Great idea but so many glitches
I love the idea of the Owlet Sock and it definitely gives some peace of mind, but unfortunately I take a lot of the app’s data with a pinch of salt.
For starters, it simply won’t let me change the bedtime onset. It constantly reverts back to 7pm. I don’t know many newborns, let alone babies under 6 months, who reliably go down for the evening at 7pm — let’s be realistic!
The app also constantly disconnects from my Wi-Fi at random and then struggles to reconnect. I have high-speed fibre and no issues with any other devices, so this really does seem to be an app issue rather than anything to do with my home network.
On top of that, it randomly seems to store the wrong data against the wrong evening. It feels like there’s sometimes a 24-hour delay with my morning report, which makes the information really confusing and frustrating to follow.
The concept is brilliant and the sock itself is reassuring, but when you’re paying for a subscription, you expect the app and the data to be reliable. At the moment, there are just too many glitches for me to feel confident in the sleep data.

Needs fixing
Video keeps freezing after recent update. For example baby is shown sleeping but in reality baby was awake and standing please fix.
Sock constantly disconnects from base station
This is the ONLY device in my whole house that I have to reconnect to WiFi every single night. My baby has other devices - WiFi sound machine, other brand WiFi baby monitor, all stay connected to WiFi. I checked online & it seems this is a problem many parents have with Owlet. My negative review is for the app itself. Even after I go thru the steps to reconnect it, if I close the app and reopen it 10 mins later to check baby’s stats, it will say disconnected from base station again. It has to be an issue with the software in this app. We have a smart home and have never had issues like this.

Takes forever to load
Sometimes it doesn’t load at all. Especially when your baby is coughing or crying or something, it won’t load for that. It likes to not work at the most inconvenient times. Also won’t cover their warranty when they say they will !
