Nest Aware is NOT compatible with iOS! – Nest Review

Beware!! If you "upgrade" to Google's Nest Aware service, you will NOT be able to use Nest on your iPhone or iPad! The app works for about 30 seconds at a time before it crashes. This is due to Google streaming the video in a format not compatible with iOS devices. Your phone will become hot as it converts the feed "on the fly" which rapidly degrades battery and overloads the processor causing the app to crash. We had been using Nest for years and Google stepped in, bought the company, and is now ruining what was an awesome product. Used to use Nest as our crib cam, but now had to buy a video baby monitor because the Nest app became unusable. If you haven't upgraded to Nest Aware, the app works terrifically. It started crashing immediately after we upgraded the service. This is all over their forums and they have not addressed it for months--keeping in mind they have all the resources on the world, it is clear that addressing this is not a priority. Do not hold your breath for a fix
