UPDATE: After a year of torment, they finally fixed the app so it runs on your Mac again. The importance of this cannot be understated. This means that you can pull up the app on your Mac, watch you babies from a big screen and powerful speakers, and free up your phone to make calls and everything else we use our phones for. Because Eufy is one of the only company's to allow this feature, it makes it leaps and bounds beyond its competition. I'm not sure if they got a new programmer in the group, but whoever fixed this problem deserves a raise or a bonus (or maybe some extra vacation days!). Previous review: This app ran wonderfully on Mac M1s forever, now with the most recent update, it stopped working on Macs. The app already suffers from an easily solvable problem--the video cannot stay open while using other apps on the iPhone. Most other video apps allow for that feature. The solution, however, was easy enough. You could run the app on your Mac, and simply use your phone as you prefered. Indeed, the screen on the Mac is much bigger, so the 2K capabilities of the camera were really utilized. I hope your engineers will fix this asap, and get the app running on Mac M1s again, or get the video to work on the iPhone when using other apps. I'll gladly update my review to 5 stars again when that happens.

I had the owlet and this is significantly better! Wish I switched sooner. Cry detection works and notifies my phone. I like how it records key crying events. Video quality is great. Love that you can adjust where the camera is pointing on the app (owlet you had to manually do it and it was annoying). App works on my phone and iPad. I can get the volume of the video to work and get the video to full screen mode on my phone all the time. Sometimes I can get the video full screen on my iPad but not always but it’s fine because I can still see my baby. Sometimes the volume doesn’t work on the iPad but if I just exit out of the app and reopen it it works again. It’s easy to manually install on the crib and bassinet. I moved it to different locations in the house depending on where baby sleeps.

Currently using the Eufy baby sleep sock every night. It helps me feel more secure that my little one is safe, and that should his heart rate drop, then we’ll be notified by both our phones AND the base, potentially offering us the critical opportunity of early intervention 🙏💕 I also love using it to track his sleep length and cycles, however it gives percentages of deep sleep, light sleep, etc. instead of just telling me how many hours of deep sleep that he got… this makes it difficult to compare nights to each other because it also breaks the sleeps up into multiple sleeps if the baby wakes in the night… so for instance, if he slept for 2 hrs and then 4 hrs one night, I’d have to math how long 19% of 2 is and 12% of 4 and add them together to know how long he was in deep sleep; then I’d have to do the same math for a different night in order to compare his deep sleep… or even to really understand how much deep sleep he’s getting on average… I would LOVE it if Eufy made this simple change to add the actual length of the sleep stages vs. just the percentage. Eufy~ could you make this change please?? 🙏
