Hatch Sleep for Positive User Reviews
✓ Great app, one request!The app is feature rich, reliable and well laid out. On the iPhone I could t ask for more… but I have one request: Please make a watch app! So often I don’t have my phone near me or just need to make a quick change to the sound while holding my baby and this would be a lot easier on the watch. With this feature, Hatch Sleep would be complete :).Version: 3.1.4
✓ Game changer!This app and kit is a game changer! A life saver! It’s genius and has been amazing with my 6 month old. Gone are the days where I accidentally wake her up to turn the white noise machine down, I can now do it from the comfort of my own bed! Love it..Version: 3.0.2
✓ Best purchase for my little one!Couldn’t be happier.Version: 3.1.33
✓ Good but one major feature is missingCan you please build a feature where the app changes the volume slowly over a period of time? For example, decrease volume to 0 over the next 3 minutes. We have to do it manually right now. If we just turn it off, the baby wakes up from such a sudden change..Version: 3.39.1
✓ Easy to useMy wife and I have enjoyed beginning to use this app with our newborn. It’s easy and helps not having to lift up the unit to change the light colour or sounds. The only suggestion and point of development that I would suggest in making this device even more useful, is that although we can register the device on our phones, we both can’t be connected to the unit at the same time, which makes it a little difficult in the night when we get up at different times to check on our son, we can only use one of our phones, so my wife has to disconnect her phone so I can connect to it. But overall, simple and user friendly..Version: 2.0.10
✓ This was too expensive for what it does.I love the Hatch rest with a few exceptions. For the price I feel like it’s should have also had the feature of bluetooth speaker so we can play music that we select from our phones, the sounds provided are very limited. Also I’m quite upset that now you came out with another product the Rest + which is a baby monitor as well, wish you could just add this to an updated so your existing devices can have this function too, but I suppose it’s a hardware issue not just software but I’m still feeling ripped off having payed 70$+ for this. I have no way to return my hatch now since it’s been 7moths in use to buy your new product which clearly is superior Do you offer some kind of trade in so I can update to your new device? Over all I do love he device and know that it will serve us well once baby is grown up enough to understand the colors. I suppose I can live without the monitor part but please if it’s possible add the feature to where we can play music through it, that would really make it worth the price..Version: 2.0.18
✓ A really good appI like the hatch and app a lot! very happy that I purchased it and have recommend it to friends! I have two observations: 1. I would like the option to add to my morning routine the same way I can for the night time routine. I understand you can add a bunch of different morning alarms and have them set them back to back, but like why not streamline that the way it is for the night time? 2. I have the premium version so I have access to all sounds, I just don’t like them. I have the app Headspace and their “sleepcasts” the night time stories are far better! I understand the educational aspect of the hatch stories and I’m sure that is appreciated by some. However the soothing stories on Headspace have nothing to do with anything which makes it easier to just wander off into the scene that they set. I find stories like that to be easier to drift off to sleep with, 45mins ambient sound whispering/quiet narrators it’s perfect. I would love for hatch to expand their libraries, because this app and speaker are great I just need them to colab with Headspace or something because the stories are not that good..Version: 3.1.29
✓ Love this appI absolutely love this app and my hatch! The app is super easy to use. I’ve never had any issues with loading anything etc. I would love a larger variety in the sleep library but it does have a lot of great choices. I went from having to sleep with the tv on for a little light and noise and it taking minimum of an hour to fall asleep to falling asleep in 10 minutes of less with my hatch restore. I love the sunrise alarm settings and the simple layout of buttons on the device itself. I’m getting a deeper more restful night sleep every night and I couldn’t do it without this device. I love that you can put multiple different noises on throughout the night. It’s honestly so relaxing. I have never used a sound machine with my other kiddos and it has worked so well with my baby that’s still in our room. My only regret is not buying this device sooner! No other device compares!.Version: 3.21.2
✓ VBy he c.Version: 3.24.0
✓ ExcellentLove this product and the company. We have used the Hatch in my children's rooms for years and recently had an issue with one (it was 4 years old). Their customer service was polite, quick to answer, understanding, and thorough. They provided multiple troubleshooting options and even followed up a week after one email when I hadn't responded. Ultimately the hatch was unable to be fixed but they graciously sent me a new product. We have recommended the hatch to so many people - especially young moms who need just a bit of light for those MOTN feeds and diaper changes, but also for toddlers who need the wake to rise function. So now in addition to loving the actual products, we can certainly add our appreciation of the company and their customer service to that list. If you need a white noise machine (with other sound options too), nightlight, wake to rise light, or audio monitor, we cannot recommend the Hatch enough!.Version: 3.29.0
✓ Does what it claims and pretty wellOverall I think the Hatch Rest 2nd gen itself performs exactly as promised, as does the app. There are just a couple little things for me that prevent it from having 5 stars, especially given the price. 1st, the ‘time for bed’ light settings have a bunch of options that cycle through multiple colors, but no option for just a single constant color. This causes lots of conversations and distractions in house house some nights making making bedtime harder. 2nd, this is clearly a speaker capable of playing some music and spoken word (since they offer a subscription service with story telling and other features). So why not just let the whole thing be a Bluetooth type speaker completely independent of the app? I understand other Hatch products can do so, and again it would be a nice feature give. The price point..Version: 3.8.0
✓ Missing simple obvious features, but okayUpdate 8/22: Hatch customer service did reach out and I was sent a replacement for my malfunctioning device, which was nice. They were very responsive and they have made some improvements to the “beacons” … but I still think it was a bad idea to completely replace schedules/routines. So, I’ve updated review to 4 stars. One missing star for frustrating app experience at times, missing schedules, and lack of progress bar when playing a timed sound or story. No ability to queue sounds. “After this story is done, play white noise” … that doesn’t exist, and it should. Original review: I meticulously set up schedules for each scenario: weekday bedtime, weekend bedtime, no school, sick days, etc. now with the latest update, those were all erased with something called “beacons”. Why the well-known word “schedules” was changed to “beacons” is beyond me, but that’s beside the point. I’ve been trying to figure out how the $&@) to just create a custom schedule (sorry, “beacon”) for like 15 minutes now and it seems like, nope! If you can, it’s entirely unintuitive. This is awful. Completely disrupts my children’s sleeping regimen. Also, I bought two of these hatch plus v2’s about 6 months ago one just died on me. So now I have a doorstop and a useless night light. Neat..Version: 3.3.5
✓ Best sound machine everI know you’re reading reviews because you wanna pick the right sound machine. Just go ahead and bite the bullet, buy this one!! Seriously. Do not buy any other sound machine, you will be disappointed (sincerely someone who bought a portable one that needs new batteries every single day) I ordered the hatch machine for my (9 month old) daughter as it was starting to get chilly and we couldn’t keep her fan on every night but she needed the noise. I wish I had bought this when she was a newborn! Not only is the app easy to use (with a wide variety of options!), the customer service is unmatched! I am in love with this sound machine! We love that we can preset her bedtime and it goes to the perfect sound and light combo we chose. She even crawls over to me when it comes on because she knows it’s bedtime! Overall amazing sound machine, amazing app, big fan of the company. 10/10 recommend!.Version: 3.1.15
✓ Great device and appVery simple and useful device and app. The only thing I would like to add, it will be great if the sound and light bar will have numbers..Version: 3.1.22
✓ Incredibly useful but I have one gripeI hate to give this less than 5 stars because my wife and I absolutely find this to be critical in our bedtime routine. So much so that we bought a 2nd one for sleeping the baby in another room of the house as well. However, in our use case, all we do is the washing machine sound and our “favorites” programmed in are all 5% sound increments with 0% light and we tap the ring to go up 5% at a time as baby gets sleepier and sleepier. In the app, each favorite is represented by a different color of the rainbow. Red-10% Orange 15% yellow 20% and so on (ROYGBV). The thing that is anooying to us, is that if you adjust volume or the light up or down in the app, the % number ops up and then disappears when you’re done adjusting. For….. I guess aesthetic reasons? Why don’t the numbers display all the time? This is also true for the favorites editing screen. If I’m setting up a favorite and I want 30% brightness and 43% sound, I’d like to just glance at the edit screen and see if it’s setup right. I see absolutely zero benefit in having that percentage read out “disappear”. Very odd app programming choice. If the app creators and users like it this way, why not create a “settings” page to toggle this on or off?.Version: 3.1.25
✓ Great product, but sometimes GlitchingGreat product. My number one helper. This is the first thing I use when I nap my baby. But the app is glitching with volume recent days. Example: You turned on hatch and it is working fine you put the volume 24 and you closed the app. Then later you want to change the volume up , you open the app and everything is ok it opens and you start changing the volume slowly like 25,26,27 up to 30. And you notice volume feels still same 24 ( even in the screen it shows 30) and like after second 2 or 3 the screen swipes right by itself, new screen shows the volume 30. And the volume turns up quickly so loud that it wakes up sleeping baby and he is scared and starts crying. And it happened several times. It has been like a month or more that this issue exists. I hope I could explain everything. Please take a look to this issue or bug. Other than this I LOVE it. Thank you for great work..Version: 3.22.0
✓ Love itWe love the light and the sounds that come with it. My daughter is staying in her room more often and easier than she used to. I just wish there were a few modifications. I would have loved to be able to upload stories or songs to it for her to listen to during her quite time (or nap time depending on the day.) I also wish there was a way to lock her out of changing the settings and playing with it. Lastly, I would love to be able to use it for emotional regulation. Everything about it is ultra soothing. It seems to calm her down very easily. I just wish that it had a pulsing kind of light that would help guide her in some deep breathing and would be able to use as a kind of time out light as well. For instance, the light would change colors or slowly dim with each pulse (breath) and she’d have to stay in time out until it shut off (3 min timer or so.) Maybe there are some of these features already, and I just haven’t found them. I’ve only had it for a few days, but it seems to be helping soo much already..Version: 2.0.10
✓ Worth the moneyWhile I have only had hatch for a few months it has been the best investment in our parenting journey so far! I am in Australia so the only place I can get it is drtechlove and it wasn’t cheap, but I hope in the future as it becomes more popular and easy to access the price might go down!.Version: 3.0.26
✓ Love the app .. would love a watch app too!The app on my iPhone is great. It would be even better if they had a watch app as well for times when I forget my phone and I’m with the baby in the nursery. Would really help!!.Version: 3.3.5
✓ Love it!We love it! Now I want one for our bedroom, the lights are very soft and ambient but can be used for a perfect personal side light at night without waking everyone up. The sound options are nice and the volume options are a great range as well. I just wish that the audio monitor has the ability to cancel out its own sound. If you are using the sound machine feature you can use the audio monitor simultaneously but it’s hard to hear your child until they get really loud, you may not hear them shuffling. The sound machine noise definitely takes over primarily but it kind of does the job if your not far from them and need at least something to listen in. My child is also under 6months so maybe the sound monitor will become more useful as he gets older, I just wouldn’t solely rely on it at night as your only monitor if you will be using the sound machine at the same time . Otherwise its great I love all the options and you can set timers and favorites still a great product and I think we will get use for many years out of it . 😊.Version: 3.3.20
✓ Pretty impressedThis programmable night light/sound machine is pretty awesome! I love how many different variations you can choose from (the sounds, colors, brightness, etc). I like the fact I can change a setting on my phone from the next room without having to disturb baby (especially if they’re awake). I have it programmed to turn on at a certain time each night and off at a certain time in the morning. I removed one star because sometimes if I’m not home (and thus my phone is not home) that sometimes it doesn’t turn on at the programmed time. Not a huge issue as I just open the app and turn on, but still. That’s really my only gripe about the app/light. And I remember when I first purchased the light and got home. It was daylight hours and I put the light on the highest setting and I remember thinking that it didn’t seem very bright...I was wrong. I rarely use the light feature anymore as our baby sleeps better in the dark, but I used to use it on the dimmest setting and it was still plenty of light to see where I was going/doing during those late night feeds..Version: 1.2.6
✓ Love it!!!I love it! This is the best!!! I can only recommend it 😍.Version: 3.0.22
✓ Updates Review: App update fixed previous complaintUpdate: 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..Version: 2.4.14
✓ Great OK to Wake Toddler Tool!When switching our little guy over to his big boy bed, we knew we wanted to implement an “ok to wake” clock in his room. I ordered a different product first but the sound machine portion was awful and I had no intention of keeping his old sound machine along with a new clock that should have that feature. This was only $10 more than what I had originally ordered and with using the programming feature for bedtime each night we LOVE this! I will definitely be buying another one down the road when we have baby #2. My only wish is that there was an Apple Watch app as I constantly forget my phone when I go to grab him from his nap and I have to either run back down to my phone to switch the saved theme from a red light to a green light or try to hide how to touch the ring to change it once I go in there as I don’t want him interested enough to play with it (we only use the program feature for nighttime as his nap times vary so much each day). That would really be a game changer for us!!.Version: 3.1.10
✓ I look forward to starting my day again :)*AN HONEST REVIEW FROM A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER* …BEST IMPULSIVE PURCHASE EVER! This alarm works wonders. Not only does it help with my sleep hygiene and winding myself down at night, it also (most importantly for me and my lifestyle) helps me to start my day off right. I’ve always stuck to the traditional blaring alarms and I didn’t realize it was the reason I woke up miserable every morning. Some people can tolerate using noise to wake up, I found that I am not one of those people. Even having my alarm be a song that I liked just didn’t work. I found that noise actually scared me out of my sleep and I woke up frightened. The Hatch Restore has completely changed how I wake up and by using this product I’ve learned what I need to start my day off right. The subtle, gradual light is so gentle that when I wake up it’s in a very natural way that my body can adjust easier to getting out of my sleepy state. The light tells my body that it’s morning time and the additional sound of the birds chirping makes me feel like they’re right outside of my window. It’s just a much happier way to wake up. Thank you Hatch for truly helping me to restore my sleep again and help me tackle my nightly struggles of winding down and my morning struggles of waking up. I feel like a whole new person ☀️.Version: 3.2.2
✓ Update: The app is greatI wanted to update this review. The developers reached out to me to help solve my issue. I tried to get proof (screen shot or screen record) of my issues, but since writing the review I haven’t had any issues. The app is great. I haven’t had any issues in 6 months or so. The app is spotty and doesn’t always find my device. I use my device multiple times a day, it is always on autoconnect, I never change the settings and there are times where I have to manually change the sound on the bottom of the hatch because there is “no device found”. That is SUPER annoying when I’m trying to turn off the light after a night feeding and the app won’t find my device. I have learned to have presets saved that have no light options. It’s annoying. But when the app works, it’s great..Version: 3.2.10
✓ Hatch Rest+ Gen 2 audio cutting outOur Hatch Rest+ Gen 2 has for the most part been a game changer. We typically just use two presets (favorites). One to have consistent light and white noise at night when sleeping, and one that has the same volume level but a slightly brighter light for night time changes. Typically, we can cycle between the favorites with the volume staying on as to not wake the baby up with the audio fading in or out- only the light would go brighter or dimmer while audio stays the same consistent level all night. Until tonight. Suddenly, the audio not fades in and out between presets. No matter how much I’ve changed, deleted and re setup, reset the whole system- nothing changes it. Now every single time we switch the favorites between the two with identical audio settings, there is a drastic fade out for 2-3 seconds and then fade in for the EXACT same audio settings and volume. Incredibly disruptive for nighttime changes, and there seems to be to support to solve this issue. UPDATE: I contacted support and within an hour they updated the firmware remotely and fixed the issue! Very surprised at how fact and helpful they were!.Version: 3.31.0
✓ FeedbackWe like Hatch a lot and would love it if these improvements were made: 1. Faster response time on app. When baby’s crying and we need to get the Hatch light on from the app, the several seconds it takes to “find the Hatch” again, choose it, and then turn the light on are extremely precious seconds for parents of newborns and babies. Those seconds bother me every time, despite knowing that this product is still great. I know it can be better. 2. Please make the sound and light slider control buttons bigger. Again, when baby’s crying (or not, in general, too) fumbling multiple times trying to fat finger the teeny tiny circle toggles to change the light/sound is extremely frustrating. If those little circles were bigger like the size of a penny instead of a 2 millimeter circle, think it’d be easier to use. 3. Please make an Apple Watch integration, keeping the above points in mind too. We actually bought an Apple Watch BECAUSE of the Hatch app… only to be extremely disappointed that we can’t use it for the Hatch. That means we have to have our phones somehow on us whenever we want to change the Hatch settings, which, again, isn’t easy since parents often don’t have enough hands as is. Do you see a theme here? Please make it easier and faster to use, especially for those caring for crying babies. Since that’s your primary market, considering feedback from new parents is warranted and would greatly help to improve your product! Thank you 🙏🏽.Version: 4.6.0
✓ A purchase I do NOT regret!!Since my daughter has been born, we have been trying to find good playlists or songs that can sooth her to sleep. We would always be fighting with our devices trying to get it to play when we needed it to and when to turn off or it would just cycle through “similar” songs which were no where near similar! Haha Without music or background noise at night, our little girl doesn’t sleep as deeply for long. We were told by another parent in store to buy it because it was a lifesaver. We’ve had the app and the device for a whole day and we’ve used it 3 times already. Seeing that my daughter does not go to sleep easily for her naps, I played the music in the background while nursing her and she just knocked out WITHOUT a fight! TWICE! Timers, color changing, dimming and brightening, song changing.... I will be a loyal customer for the future babies after what I have experienced today! Thank you for an amazing product!.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Was a Great appThis has been a life changer when helping our little get to sleep. But recent updates to the UI look horrible and is very confusing to say the least..Version: 4.6.0
✓ Good butEnjoying my hatch but don’t like the update. I can no longer easily access the sleep sounds. Have to click on the library which automatically takes me to hatch plus then I can click on the regular sounds section then scroll to look for the sound. I used to be able to access it directly on a smaller list so that there was little to no scrolling for the basic sounds..Version: 4.2.1
✓ My sleep saverI struggle with sleep to a great extend. I would be awake for two days. Not by choice. I can’t calm my brain down and worry about everything. I have wanted to stay away from medication until it was no other choice. I made the decision to go for the hatch to try. You can always return it. This I won’t be though. I have a routine and I am sleeping soundly without medication! I also am able to wake up on time. This was something I struggled to do which caused me to be late to work often. Especially with Covid I went into a depression where the bed was my best friend. I always felt I needed more sleep. But now I wake up feeling rested and not frightened when the alarm clock goes off. This is the best thing to happen to me. I highly encourage everyone who needs a routine, who struggles with anxiety, who has a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep and even those who dread the morning alarm to just try the hatch. The worst thing that happens is you make a trip back to the store to return. But I am 99.9% sure you won’t need to..Version: 3.0.0
✓ A quality sound machine with great potential!I love your hatch baby rest sound machine! I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the app :). I love how simple the programming is and it is far superior to others on the market. That being said, I was wondering if you guys could work on integrating an option to play music from the users iphone and also an option to mix white noise with the music by having the volume for the noise separate from the volume of the music. My toddler currently uses a sound machine and in conjunction with that we play baby lullaby radio from a pandora app to add some light lulling music in the background. Even if you couldn’t add a button for users to add their own music, could you create a mixer button to mix the preset lullabies with noise? Another request is to add a button for customizing a cycle for the lights. I know their is a button to cycle through all of the lights, but it would be great to be able to customize a light color cycle for different occasions (ie a red, orange, yellow color cycle for sleeping). Thank you so much for the work you guys do and I look forward to seeing what updates you have in store for the future!.Version: 1.1.3
