Being the parent of a baby in the NICU is hard enough. For parents of twins, triplets, or other multiples, the frustration of constantly logging in and out of different accounts just to see your children is an unnecessary extra stress. NicView2U solves this one problem, simply and securely. The app allows you to add the login credentials for each of your babies and view their NicView camera streams simultaneously, in a single, unified view. Key Features: • View Multiple Streams: Add as many babies as you need — perfect for twins, triplets, or quads. • Stay Logged In: The app keeps your sessions alive, so you are not timed out or logged out unexpectedly. • Secure Storage: Your usernames and passwords are encrypted and stored securely in the iOS Keychain on your device. We never see them, and they never leave your phone. • Simple Interface: A clean, intuitive interface that gets out of your way and lets you focus on what matters most. • Auto-Login: The app handles the entire login process for you automatically when you launch it. • Portrait & Landscape: View streams stacked vertically in portrait mode, or side-by-side in landscape. How It Works: NicView2U acts as a specialized browser. Each stream runs in its own isolated, sandboxed web view, allowing it to maintain a separate, persistent login session with the NicView® service. It is a simple, robust, and secure solution to a common problem for NICU parents.
