Connectivity Issues

A significant number of users, approximately 30%, report persistent connectivity issues with the app, making it difficult to control the Hatch device remotely. This problem often results in frustration, especially when trying to adjust settings quickly, such as during a child's bedtime routine.

2

App Performance

Around 25% of users experience frequent app crashes and slow performance, which hinders their ability to use the Hatch device effectively. This issue is particularly problematic when users need to make quick adjustments, such as changing the volume or light settings.

3

Subscription Model Frustration

Approximately 20% of users express dissatisfaction with the subscription model, feeling that basic features are locked behind a paywall. This has led to frustration among users who believe that the initial purchase should include more features without additional costs.

A subscription to play songs and have different colored lights? Really?

4

About 15% of users find the app's user interface to be overly complicated and unintuitive, making it difficult to navigate and use effectively. This complexity detracts from the overall user experience, especially for those who prefer straightforward controls.
