Hi, I love the idea of this app, I actually wanted to do the same.
I tried to use it in a "real world" situation tonight, for Christmas, but came across two main problems : unstable audio sound, like mentioned on #29, and more annoying : connection lost not tried to reconnect.
This is really surprising for a such "long term" software, it makes the app nearly useless :'(
My wi-fi network is actually good, I can stream HD movies without any problem. After using the app for some minutes, the connection dropped (I suppose this is probably a problem of background app killed by Android system). I got a sound indicating that the connection dropped (not continuous, but this is another issue treated elsewhere) but apparently the soft didn't tried to reconnect.

Am I wrong? Is the app trying to reconnect after a lost connection ?
I would have expected a continuous reconnection try.

Thanks

The history of this app is that it is the first Android app that I attempted, and I thought I would need to use it for my new baby a few years back. However, it turned out I could hear my baby cry from across the house, and never ended up using the app.

There are many ideas for improvement which have been suggested. Honestly, this app is not a high priority as the use case is no longer needed for me. When I was testing the app years ago it seemed to work well enough for my setup, and thus I released it.

I love the idea of this app, I actually wanted to do the same.

If someone were interested in contributing changes to improve it, I would gladly review the changes. (:

Thanks for your answer ! The "problem", as always, is that I've no time neither to improve this app, and there's excellent non-free alternatives on market.
