Ratings and reviews

Way better than the old app, but sometimes inconsistent. I often get notifications with a preview image of the recording but when I open the app it will show the image with 4 dots blinking and if I click on it, it says video unavailable and it stays that way for days until the recording drops off due to age. So it's like it loses the video in the cloud, which kind of defeats the purpose. I would say it happens for maybe 1 out of every 7 recordings of so. It's a significant problem.

After being forced to the new app, my Skybell worked for a day or two. After that, it was blinking red and green for a couple of weeks without ever being able to reconnect. Now, the LED is the color I picked from the old app and no longer blinking. However, no matter how many times I reset it, it no longer sees ANY network connection, and I am no longer able to use this product as intended.

Finally! Usually when an app gets updated, it's very rarely for the better. In this case, it now works 100% of the time! On the old app, I could only view live video if I wasn't connected to my home's Wi-Fi. The old app never notified me of movement or when someone rang the bell. Thank you for finally fixing all the defects and for fixing my buyer's remorse.
