Anytime, every time!

We love it and use it way more than we thought we would! We can see our baby anytime, all the time! It even sends alerts to my phone to tell me if there’s movement or my baby is awake! I can even see if my baby is sleeping light or deep.

Baby monitor premium

Excellent and peace of mind!

Must buy!

I am a first time parent. Philips Avent Baby Monitor+ has helped me and my wife tremendously. 100% recommended!!!

Doesn't stay connected

Junk. Doesn't stay connected.

Almost there

The Cons:

1) The sleep tracking doesn’t allow you press to see exact times they actually fell asleep or when they woke. The chart looks great, the UI just prevents you from actually acting on the data and looking at it. Which defeats the purpose of paying extra for the feature. Want to look at tonight’s times, impossible as it only shows you a small snapshot and doesn’t allow you to see times again. If these fixes are added and the UI gives you more visualization of the data over time easily, it converts this to a 5 star app and product.

2) No setting to turn off power light. Every other monitor seems to have a way to turn off the power light so baby doesn’t get distracted.

3) No way to see past video. Probably a hardware limitation, but every other monitor at this price point gives you history. Disappointing this one doesn’t. You basically miss baby firsts, because there is no look back period. If they just let me put in a microsd card this would have been fixed.

The Pros:

1) Stable. Works well and seems to be a competent engineering team adding features

2) Breath monitoring and AI status show nicely and easily show what’s going on which is pretty awesome.

This is the first week we’re trying this monitor so will update soon. Crossing my fingers for anything they’re able to fix in the cons

Accès photo

Bonjour il est inadmissible que l’application demande un accès total aux photos pour pouvoir en enregistrer. Pour quelle raison ?
La politique habituelle des applications est de se contenter d’un accès limité pour pouvoir sauvegarder des photos.
Je remonterai la note si votre politique change.

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour ! Nous comprenons vos préoccupations concernant les autorisations d’accès aux photos. Vos remarques sont importantes et nous aident à améliorer l’expérience. N’hésitez pas à nous contacter via https://philips.to/4q2KfYU pour que nous puissions examiner cela plus en détail.

Replacement for the Base ?

The base of my unit is no longer useable. Can you advise how I might replace it ? I still use the camera using my iPhone to monitor my daughter who is on life support. Please advise. This is your camera that took this picture.

Babyphone au top

Nous utilisons se babyphone depuis presque 2 ans maintenant et nous en somme vraiment ravi. On peut toujours avoir un œil sur notre Loulou quand il dort même quand Mamie le garde. On peut lui parle ou lui allumer la musique à distance pour le rassurer.

Response from developer

Merci pour votre avis et votre fidélité. Nous sommes ravis que le babyphone et l’application vous accompagnent au quotidien et vous permettent de rester connecté avec votre enfant, même à distance. Nous vous souhaitons une belle expérience continue avec votre produit Philips.

New Update Broke Features

The newest update added background noise, which is fine, but it broke other features that were much more useful.
1. While using my phone as a monitor, the screen now turns off after my prescribed amount of automatic lock time. Why would I want that? Similar to how I’d want a YouTube video to turn off after a minute…
2. The muted noise bars that were on the PiP mode are now gone. Why?
3. If I have the app on mute and I moved back to it on the previous version it would keep playing my podcast, now the app defaults back to un-muted and my podcast pauses.

What was the thought process in making these changes?

Recent update not installing on phone

Recent update won’t install on my iOS. I have latest iOS and it will download, install, and then says that the app needs to be updated again…

Great app!! Recent updates horrible

Facing issues after updating. It keeps coming back in current updates. No changes visible.

Response from developer

Sorry about that — frustrating after an update. Please try: Update the app (again) and restart your phone. Force‑close the app, reopen, and check for a pending firmware update for the device. Sign out and sign back in or reinstall the app. Clear cache (Android) or offload/reinstall (iOS) if needed. If it keeps happening, please send app version, phone model + OS, and a short video/screenshot showing the issue.

Ridiculous wifi requirements

Completely unusable as insists on creating a new lower grade wifi to work. Will be returning to store. Fuming 🤬

App is buggy and some features require subscription 50/100

The baby monitor is great overall, but the app sometimes stops working and needs to be restarted. The device is not exactly cheap, so charging a subscription for “AI” cry detection and video highlights feels ridiculous.

The breathing monitor is almost useless, because it does not work reliably and does not provide a clear alert confirming whether the baby is actually breathing.

Latest update catastrophic

What is going on with latest update ? Used to work at distance with 5G or anything. Now only works when youre at home locally.

Moniteur

Il freeze et ne reset pas quand on l’éteint

Always Fahrenheit

I wish there was a way to use Celsius in the app. Despite having the physical baby monitor receiver in Celsius, the app still shows Fahrenheit and there is no way to change that.

Barely gets the job done

Desperately in need of an update. It doesn’t interface with Apple’s Focus, nor does it allow you to snooze notifications. If you’re in the same room, be prepared for your phone to drive you insane with constant notifications. Only option is to completely turn them off, which defeats the purpose. Do what Ring does and allow for 30, 60, 180 minute snooze options.

Because the base unit drops connection all the time (but nothing else in the house does?!) you receive a notification every 30 seconds telling you the BU is not connected. Absolutely infuriating, leading to notification fatigue. I was a huge fan of this compared to the competition but now am unable to recommend to others.

Philips: allow customization of notifications - just look at how other apps have already solved this - no need to reinvent the wheel.

Black and white

The screen becomes black and white , don’t know the reason

Thanks for your review, MitiTap! We're sorry to hear the monitor screen turns black and white. Try restarting both the parent unit and baby unit, and check that Night Mode isn’t activated. If the issue continues, our team is available 24/7 at https://philips.to/4q2KfYU to help.

Brak szczegółowych danych

Aplikacja działa ok, jednak brakuje w niej szczegółowych danych, tzn konkretnie o których godzinach występowały pobudki i ile czasu trwały. W aplikacji są one przedstawione na wykresie który jest bardzo nieczytelny. Mam nadzieję, że w kolejnych aktualizacjach zostanie to uzupełnione.
