Disappointed to say the least – Clever Dog Review

Having worked at smaller and medium software companies that produce native apps, it's even more frustrating dealing with the shortcomings of this thing. I thought it would be kinda neat to be able to monitor the little ones via my phone, not to mention convenient not to transfer a separate monitor everywhere. Now I miss the monitor. The monitor worked all the time. It wasn't randomly off network. And I'm not sure how it isn't possible to connect multiple devices. It's like the dev team thinks children only have one parent. And the parent whose phone is connected is always the one at home. But of course we can just switch devices right? No, gotta go to the unit and reconfigure. Only to see that switching back to the primary one (a phone) for some reason gives errors multiple times before finally reconnecting. The experience was supposed to be smoother; instead it got about 3 times clunkier. My wife wanted to return it a week in; I actually convinced her to keep it because of my software co. experience. And now we are out of the refund window ? hooray
