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 ### 2/5 — Accès photo *2026-06-27* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 2/5 — Recent update not installing on phone *2026-06-02, version 1.9.0* 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… ### 3/5 — Great app!! Recent updates horrible *2026-05-30* Facing issues after updating. It keeps coming back in current updates. No changes visible. **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — App is buggy and some features require subscription 50/100 *2026-05-20, version 1.8.0* 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. ### 2/5 — Moniteur *2026-04-14, version 1.8.0* Il freeze et ne reset pas quand on l’éteint ### 4/5 — Always Fahrenheit *2026-04-01, version 1.8.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Barely gets the job done *2026-03-05, version 1.7.0* 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. ### 3/5 — Black and white *2026-02-24* The screen becomes black and white , don’t know the reason **Developer response:** 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. ### 3/5 — Brak szczegółowych danych *2026-01-11, version 1.6.2* 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. ### 3/5 — App macht was sie soll *2026-01-09, version 1.6.2* Die Babyohone App von Philips ist wirklich zuverlässig k d funktioniert stabil auch außerhalb des Hauses. Einzug ärgerlich ist die Darstellung im Querformat und besonders auf da besonders auf dem iPad. Der Wechsel zwischen zwei Kameras ist nur möglich wenn man es wieder dreht. Für uns ärgerlich, da das iPad fest an der wand verbaut ist und der Wechsel Kur durch Neustart möglich ist. Wenn man dieses noch nachbessert wird es die volle Punktzahl geben. Macht aber sonst mit einer Kamera wirklich was es soll. Musikfunktionalität oder das Sprechen über die Kamera aus der Ferne zu steuern ist wirklich top. ### 4/5 — Amazing app *2026-01-08, version 1.6.2* Works very well, great set of features. Connectivity with Alexa, or other devices would be great addition otherwise would rate 5 ### 3/5 — Leider nichts für Reisen *2026-01-04, version 1.6.2* Wir haben das Babyphone vor allem für Reisen gekauft um uns in Hotels etc. über das WLAN zu verbinden und damit ein wenig mehr Freiheiten, wie Pool- oder Barbesuche nutzen zu können. Leider ist es hierzu komplett ungeeignet. Da die meisten Hotels ein LogIn haben oder zumindest eine AGB Bestätigung erfordern, kann das Philips damit nicht umgehen. Offene WLAN funktionieren auch nicht. Daheim geht alles gut und die App an sich wäre gut, aber wie gesagt, für den Einsatz in Hotels ungeeignet. ### 2/5 — Derniere MAJ bugé *2025-12-29, version 1.6.2* Dernière MAJ très bugé qui empêche la visualisation en paysage et freeze incessamment, en plus de saccade et déconnexion intempestive rendant l’appli inutile (iPhone 17 pro) ### 4/5 — Mit Updates ganz gut geworden *2025-12-24, version 1.6.2* Die App ist seit dem Update mit dem ungeschützten WLAN endlich auch auf Reisen und in Hotels nutzbar. Die Kinder schlafen und wir können an der Bar den Abend genießen. Etwas unpassend noch die automatischen Updates der Kamera. Diese starten beim einschalten, wenn erforderlich, logisch. Aber man sollte es unterbrechen können, da man meist die Kamera nur einschaltet wenn auch das Kind schläft. Da braucht man dann kein Update und möchte es später nachholen. Ebenso eine Version für den AppleTV wäre fantastisch. ### 3/5 — Issues with stuck video stream *2025-12-22, version 1.6.2* It often happens to me that the video stream on the app is stuck, but without any clue for me that it would be stuck. I’m fooled thinking that my baby is fine when in fact everything could have happened. This is critical! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't stay connected *2026-07-27, version 1.9.0* Junk. Doesn't stay connected. ### 1/5 — New Update Broke Features *2026-06-06, version 1.9.0* 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? ### 1/5 — Ridiculous wifi requirements *2026-05-24, version 1.8.0* Completely unusable as insists on creating a new lower grade wifi to work. Will be returning to store. Fuming 🤬 ### 1/5 — Latest update catastrophic *2026-05-17, version 1.8.0* What is going on with latest update ? Used to work at distance with 5G or anything. Now only works when youre at home locally. ### 1/5 — Nefunguje *2026-01-02, version 1.6.2* Neustále se odpojuje a nefunguje. ### 1/5 — Horrible UX. Who thought it was a good idea to not allow pasting WiFi passwords? *2026-01-01, version 1.6.2* Why is this thing so convoluted? Not allowing to paste WiFi passwords is purely demonic. ### 1/5 — Vraiment nulle *2025-12-27, version 1.6.2* Je parle pas du produit qui est correct mais l’application est vraiment NULLE : problème de traduction français/anglais, elle demande la connection au wifi en polonais, impossible de partager sa connection locale, on ne peut pas copier coller le mot de passe du wifi pour se connecter, le mot de passe est supprimé si on change d’app, ça prend 10 minutes pour se connecter au lieu des 1 à 2 minutes et si on a le malheur de changer de page ou d’avoir une notification, il faut tout recommencer Ça fait 6 fois que j’essaye de me connecter, j’en ai ras le bol (j’en ai gros sur la patate, oui) ### 1/5 — Přestalo to fungovat *2025-11-17, version 1.6.0* Dřív to normálně fungovalo, ale aplikace se nikdy nespáruje s chúvičkou. QR kód naskenuje, pípne a připojuje se, ale nikdy úspěsně. Zkoušel jsem rúzné wifiny, hotspoty, nic. ### 1/5 — Slow loading *2025-10-24, version 1.6.0* Slow loading. Monitor making noises when unplugged from the charger and having troubles to connect to charger and load image. ### 1/5 — Need Help With Screen Rotation In Landscape *2025-10-22, version 1.6.0* Not worth a 1 stat review (very willing to change it to 5), just hoping this catches the attention of the product manager of the app. There is a bug when you select a screen rotation different than 0 degrees where the setting only works when the phone is in portrait, but not in landscape (seems to always show 0 degrees). Can you please fix this, I really need it to work! Thanks! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Anytime, every time! *2026-08-11, version 1.9.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Baby monitor premium *2026-08-09, version 1.9.0* Excellent and peace of mind! ### 5/5 — Must buy! *2026-08-06, version 1.9.0* I am a first time parent. Philips Avent Baby Monitor+ has helped me and my wife tremendously. 100% recommended!!! ### 5/5 — Replacement for the Base ? *2026-06-11, version 1.9.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Babyphone au top *2026-06-09* 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. **Developer response:** 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. ### 5/5 — Finalmente disponível no Brasil! *2026-03-04* Depois de quase um ano do meu filho finalmente posso usar o app no Brasil! Minha babá eletronica ficou 1000x melhor! **Developer response:** Muito obrigado pela sua avaliação!

Za każdym razem jest innym problem lub błąd! Wybierzcie coś innego !!!! ### 5/5 — Super *2025-11-17, version 1.6.0* Application marche très bien et la qualité est top.
