Unreliable Connectivity to App
This sound machine stays in the same place on the same wifi; yet sometimes it feels like connecting to the app and sometimes it doesn’t. And when it does connect it’s frequently very slow to load. We have the nanit camera as well and no issues there, I don’t know why the sound + light app is separate and is such a steep drop off in quality.

Frustrating for a frequent traveler
I have used this for about two years now, and while there are some great features (I like the colors, the adjustability, the programming fine), I'm just so fed up. The latest issue was that we are traveling for a full month, going to several different cities, and apparently there is a maximum number of wifi networks that can be saved within the Sound + Light app, which I figured out when I tried to join a new network and it popped up a little note. So of course, I went to try to get rid of some…

Very Disappointed
Not impressed. Where to begin? 1) Super disappointed you can’t control this from the Nanit Home Display. So you get the Home Display tablet, but then you still need your phone to make any adjustments to Light & Sound, so no matter if you get the tablet, you still need your phone. We can’t adjust the sound and light machine without the phone, so we or our nanny need the phone and the tablet just to monitor a nap. And given the inconsistent starts of the programmed routines, we are frequently…

Great concept, BUT lots of connectivity issues
Received 2 for our twins’ birthday. We had already owned the Nanit cameras and really love the features the camera has to offer. The machine is good when it is able to connect and start/stop routines as scheduled. These have incredibly unreliable wifi connection issues. I had to buy a separate 2.4ghz router just to connect the machines. When the machines are connected, it’s great. But the connection drops out of nowhere and I am unable to successfully re-pair and re-connect my machines. One…

Booooooo
Consistently disconnects and I am not able to turn it on. We have had to reset multiple times on both sound and lights, one for each child we have.

Overpriced & Underperforming.
This thing feels half baked at best, and intentionally poorly designed at worst.

Functionally it is controlled through either its onboard buttons that occasionally fail to respond.

Or it can be turned on and off, when it feels like it, in the Nanit app, but it’s custom modes and changes to its status cannot be made in the Nannit app, when it decides to sync with the app at all.

It has its own app, that is poorly designed and does not carry functionality over to the main

Nanit night light & sound machines
Love that the sound machines and lights don’t need a subscription. We have been gifted other like the hatch & you need a subscription for those! Will never have those or gift to any one, ever! The nanit is sooooo much better
