The whole point of having a security camera is to check when you hear something outside - but every single time I try to load Live View during noise or motion, it fails to connect. I even tested it by setting off my own car alarm and the app still wouldn't load. It can't be a coincidence - the feed always fails exactly when it matters. Works fine when nothing is happening, but completely unreliable in real situations. Very frustrating and makes me question the point of owning a Ring cam.

The software designers apparently gave no consideration to pressing the same location on the phone when the phone doesn't respond, because when it finally does respond, the same location on the next screen may change something you didn't want changed. This wastes time and is bad design, and I think the newer version is worse than the older one in other ways, too. Also, Ring in general has problems picking motion up and misses a lot of important footage, including break-ins.

App worked great till a couple months ago. Now notifications are pointless if they even come through timely. The doorbell ring no longer works as a notification on the phone, only through the doorbell itself, there is no longer a video preview, the app does not open when you click on the notification, and on the rare occasion that it does open it brings you to a whole new live view rather than the footage it notified you about. The app has become pointless for notifications.
