Forget It

As others have stated it is only a link to another app. It does nothing. Removed it from my iPhone within 2 minutes. DO NOT DOWNLOAD a wast of your time. Apple should remove it from store.

LIFE HACK

To be honest, instead of downloading this app, you can just FaceTime yourself. You can put one device somewhere, and watch on your other. And you can hear. And mute yourself, but if you wanna say something that they can hear where the camera is, just un mute yourself!
NLNot as cool as it looks

Infuriatingly terrible.

I spent been 20 minutes finding my password to download a simple app to monitor my baby napping to realize it wants you to download another app. Complete garbage and should be banned from the App Store.
