Reviewers praise
  • Sound quality is rich and volume range goes from very soft to loud
  • Highly customizable lighting, sounds, and schedules via the app
  • Physical buttons have good tactile feel and work without the app
Reviewers push back
  • Subscription-gated content (stories, extra sounds, voice recordings) frustrates some reviewers even though it's not required
  • Can't play your own music or use it as a Bluetooth speaker
  • App has no proper multi-caregiver account support
Reviewers agree the Rest+ 2nd Gen is a well-built, highly customizable sound machine and nightlight that handles bedtime routines gracefully, with the optional subscription being extra rather than essential.
— best for: Parents wanting one flexible, durable nightlight-and-sound-machine that adapts from infancy through early school age.
Reviewers disagree · Rest+ 2nd Gen?

One reviewer prefers the simpler Rest 2 over the more feature-heavy, subscription-oriented sibling product, while others find the subscription harmless and skippable
