tech support New App Launch!

In the 10 amazing months since we launched Mimo, you, our users, have provided an amazing amount of feedback. You've told us what you've liked, and told us where there were issues. You've shown us which little touches make you smile, as well as which features can be annoying. We've listened to your feedback, and today we are proud to announce the launch of our new and much improved apps for both iOS and Android.

Visit the App Store or Google Play Store to get the newest versions.

Accounts & Login

The first thing that you'll notice when you fire up your shiny new app is that we've completely changed how you manage your account.

Welcome to Mimo

The first time you see this, go ahead and create an account. If you're already a Mimo user, don't worry, everything will still be set up the way you had it.

Monitor Screen

The looks of the real-time monitoring screen have also been refreshed, but the big change here is how things work behind the scenes.

We've done a lot of work to enhance our systems and

My daughter Sadie is a peanut. So is her Mom, and admittedly, her Dad kinda is too. Sadie's always been in the sub-20th percentile for weight, and as she graduated from her first 3 months, she started dropping in height percentile as well. Neither her Mom nor I were surprised, based on her genes.

She still has no hair. Me, I'm bragging.

Her being rather challenged in the weight and height department carries with it a wonderful benefit (besides affording her an unforgiving cuteness): she's still able to fit into her 6-12 month Mimo kimonos. As I've mentioned before, Sadie has been one of our beta babies here at Mimo, so she's helped us test out some larger kimonos (for inquiring minds, stay tuned!), but she can still squeeze into the 6-12s. And last night, that's all we had.

Yesterday morning, Sadie came down with a moderate fever. It was followed by a rash and a little bit of coughing that didn't stick around. When the fever didn't subside on its own, we gave her some Tylenol, which sort of helped. Before bed, her fever had returned, and my wife and I were slightly concerned. Based on all of her

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to get a quick update to you on the current state of the Mimo Lilypad.

We're in the process of overhauling both the firmware and electronics of our Lilypads. We're very excited about this, as doing so will mean improved stability and connectivity, enhanced range, and faster data processing.

As we've been undergoing this upgrade, we've found that some of our current Lilypads have been experiencing connectivity issues during initial setup, making it difficult to connect to home routers in a small number of cases. If you've recently purchased a Mimo, and you haven't been able to connect your Lilypad, please don't hesitate to give us a call, and we'll be happy to troubleshoot, or send you a new Lilypad.

As always, we're here to help: 1.877.415.6466 or [email protected].

Thanks!
Mike

Chicago is a beloved city. From the jibarto sandwich to deep dish pizza, from the Cubs and the Bears to Cloud Gate, Chicago is a city of general awesomeness.

Which is why we're super pumped to announce that Mimo is now available at Galt Baby, Chicago's premier baby product retailer. If you're from the Chicagoland area, enjoy visiting, or if you left your heart in the Windy City, head on in to one of Galt's several locations, and talk to the friendliest folks in the land about Mimo.

10/3 Update: Our latest version of the Mimo app—which fixes the iOS 8 notifications issue—is now available for download. The app now asks new users if you'd like to receive push notifications, which ensures notifications will be turned on. If you have problems, please contact us!


Update: Our new app version is live in the app store. This fixes the iOS8 welcome flow crash. One additional note: new users will have bugs with their notifications until our next app version goes live (another 4-7 days).


Apple released its iOS8 update yesterday (9/17). Upon testing Mimo with the new iOS, we diagnosed a couple of bugs and wanted to get a note, give you the plan to resolution, and also provide a few key steps for troubleshooting. As always, if you have questions or need help, please don’t hesitate to call us at 877.415.6466 or email at [email protected].

  • First and foremost: if you have an iPhone 4S, we recommend that you do not download iOS8 quite yet. Reports say the new iOS is not optimized for any phones other than 5, 5s and the upcoming 6.
  • If you are an existing Mimo

After much excitement and anticipation on our end, the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas, NV finally arrived. This past week (Sept 6-10) a number of us from Rest Devices went to meet with retailers, media partners, bloggers, and parents visiting from around the globe. It took members of our team about 18 hours to make our booth, but it was worth it. We had a number of people stop by to see what Mimo is all about and received a number of compliments on our booths warm environment.

While this was our third time at the ABC Kids Expo, it was the first time we had product in market. Not only were we able to show the Mimo Baby Monitor in person, we were also able to share with attendees a prototype of what we're looking to create next (hint: it will warm a bottle).

But it was the people that made the show. From the folks interested in learning more about baby products to people manning other booths, the people at the show were energetic and passionate.

Over the course of our 4 days in Vegas, we truly enjoyed spending time with our friends at Think Baby and
