The struggle with this app is just getting it to connect to the other unit. The "monitor" will start to connect but before you can get a picture it will reset the connection. This can go on for minutes or the whole time youre trying to use the app. And then when it disconnects it makes this terrible high pitched dinging noise that you cant turn off or turn down so hopefully you arent trying to use it in a small house or apartment. Once it connects it sends a picture of the baby every 10 seconds but the sound is live. So, if you can actually get it to connect it works fine. I wouldnt recommend this app.
