Excellent for traveling with new family
Got this app when we were in a bind while traveling - our audio baby monitor couldnt extend from hotel room to the restaurant down on the first floor while baby was sleeping (our room was on the 3rd floor, food on he 1st). My wife and I purchased this app (yes, you need to purchase it 2x - one for each phone), synced our phones (super easy process) and bam its working! We used it for the audio only, but it was nice to be able to use video.
Doesnt drain as much battery as I thought it would. We have a sleep machine for white noise that we had to turn down, otherwise it really eats through battery since its constantly feeding audio to the parent unit iPhone. The idea is: if the room is silent (or at least mostly silent), the app doesnt detect noise and wont use as much battery. Regardless, its quite reliable either way, which is what counts.
You can even turn the light for the other phone on and off, and dim the light for video. Its quite an intuitive app.
For a simple, long-range baby monitor solution, its amazing! Also nice that it vibrates your phone when it detects sound - so you can just let the vibration notify you rather than constantly listening to the monitor. The microphone sensitivity is very nice too.
