1. 5/5Updates Review: App update fixed previous complaint

   Update: I wanted to update that I am again loving the app again. They now have an auto connect option that lets you default to the device you last connected to and bypasses the irritating additional screen a previous update added. I very much appreciate them addressing this issue. As my kiddo is getting older I’ve started using some of the ok to wake features and those are working great. I like how I can have multiple programs and try and nudge an extra 15 minutes of sleep out of her on the weekends. It doesn’t always work but that’s the kid not the device. After the recent update you now have to start at the “looking for devices” screen every time. I was already lukewarm on the device because it takes a bit to connect EVERY SINGLE TIME even if you just used the app a moment ago and accidentally closed it, but ultimately liked it for the range of sounds and my plan to use it as an “okay to wake” clock in the future. Their new + model is supposed to fix connection issue but that doesn’t help those of us with an existing model. Now their new update makes the user experience worse for existing customers. In the middle of the night, when you’re sleep deprived, now you have to take longer and click through an additional screen to access the app. I can’t recommend this to anybody if they don’t care about the user experience for existing customer.

2. 4/5Love the app, but wish it some other features.

   We love the app and my kids use it every night! The routines work great for us and there are a lot of great sounds and stories that my kids listen to over and over. The thing that would make my experience so much better is if you could see all the stories within a category like Bedtime Story Songs in a list- there are a bunch of stories but you have to click the forward button or the back button to go through the songs and it takes FOREVER and sometimes I cant remember where a song is in relation to the song it is on. Sometimes I have to click through all of them to find the one my kids want. It is really slow to change to the next song and sometimes if you click too fast the song playing will be different than what it says. My kids wish to listen to particular songs and we spend so much time trying to find them every night. I wish there was a list below the Bedtime Story Songs category so we could just click on the one we want. It would also be nice to be able to repeat one of the Bedtime Story Songs over and over in a routine. My daughter wants to listen to the same song like 5 times before going to sleep and it would be nice not to have to change it back over and over. Despite this we absolutely love our Hatch light and it helps so much with our night and morning routine. My kids actually stay in their bed in the morning until their light comes on! Helps prevent early rising!

3. 5/5It finally works! Thank you Hatch team

   I have the first gen Hatch and have had a very positive experience with it. However we bought a second gen Hatch for our second child, and it’s been consistently unreliable. Although I have set and reset a schedule for the week, it shuts off every day. The only way to restart the schedule is to unplug the machine and manually restart the schedule. It’s so frustrating. What’s going on Hatch? I see all the other reviews here and on Reddit. I know my experience isn’t isolated. Unfortunately unless the second gen gets fixed ASAP, I strongly advise against purchasing this product. At this point we will probably just use our portable sound machine in place of the second gen. Also the second gen app interface is AWFUL. First gen had a great user interface, very easy. Now it’s difficult to navigate. Why Hatch? Why?? UPDATE: the issue still hasn’t resolved but Hatch customer service has been extra responsive, which I appreciate very much. We are on our way - hopefully - to getting our issue resolved. UPDATE 2: received the new Hatch second gen sent and shipped for free by Hatch customer service, and IT WORKS! None of the shutoff issues experienced before with our first second gen. Very grateful to the Hatch team for following up with me to make sure the issue was remedied.

4. 3/5Needs better features in app

   I really like the concept of this app and you can tell they are really trying to do something cool here, but—man—I could really use a better way to search and organize my favorite sounds. Let me make a saved favorites list. Let me sort it by function. Let me make my own shuffle playlist, like come on. Let me at least see all of the available sounds in one place because the way it’s sorted currently, there are some I can see in the list of a shuffle but I can’t select the sound on its own. The search function is useless unless you know exactly the title you are looking for. The categories are cute but functionally messy. For how much customization they try to provide you, they also hinder you with frustrating limitations. Also, there is a much more diversity in the unwind routine sounds/options than there are in alarms which is also a little annoying because alarms are pretty much the main reason you want an alarm clock. The wind down routines are very cool in concept but more often than not, they are wasted because in order to take advantage of them, you have to already be good about keeping a bedtime routine. But they are there to help you build a bedtime routine so it kind of defeats its own purpose? I would honestly love this clock if they fixed even half of these things with its app. The look, sound, light, and physical clock functions are so nice, but the app is just lacking in functionality despite its many features.

5. 5/5Great App

   Using the Hatch Baby Rest for about nine months now and when I downloaded the app for my new iPad, I couldn’t believe it had a 3-star rating so I read some reviews out of curiosity. Some people are commenting that an update ruined it, but I actually felt the opposite! The update fixed my biggest con - the sliding bar. I didn’t like how I had to guesstimate in order to turn the volume up or down without baby noticing, but now it goes up a percentage at a time and I appreciate that. Overall, I like this product and app so much that I bought one for my niece for her baby shower. My take: first, it’s so easy to use. The Bluetooth connection is reliably fast (I do wish there was a setting that skipped the device choice screen since I currently only have one device, but that’s a great feature if we add another device so it’s worth the extra click through) - I love being able to turn the sound machine off and a light on from another room when baby wakes up if I can’t get there immediately, it really helps keep her content in the meantime and is a wonderful feature. The ability to adjust the sound and light from 0-100 one step at a time is great. The sound quality is good and I like the sound choices, although adding a classical music choice or the option to upload would be nice. I think the design is modern and appealing aka I don’t want to hide it in my daughter’s cute nursery. Excited about the programmability options in the future. Do yourself a favor if you’re looking for a sound machine and get this one. It’s worth every penny. Sad to hear people say otherwise because this is a great app and device!
