Sorry, @Carlo, I’m not from the Boomer generation, i have been raised, trained, mentor and some of my closest friends are from that group.
By listening and learning from them I have been able to accelerate my life, I appreciate that generation and will always protect that generation.
Again, never assume.
Because if you read these postings, by placing the needs of others before yourself, you will understand their needs and their view points.
I have learned a great deal about how a revised application, if I was the software architect, could greatly expanded and hugely increase the usefulness of the user interface to broadly expand the spectrum of backgrounds to increase the user satisfaction and increase sales.
I seriously doubt the 2021 3.0 app will surface. Wish the best of luck to you and Wyze but your track record is one of a lot of talk & very little results. Playing around with the Wyze products has been a mix of fun and frustration, but I have gotten bored with it all. I am replacing my dying Wyze products with other brands.
Wyze will always have the “What do you expect for $20” followers that take any negative comment as a personal insult.
We joined around the same time, around a year and a half ago. What’s your total stable of Wyze devices in that time?
I started with three cameras and tested them intensively for a few months. When Wyze told me they weren’t security cams, they were for “keeping an eye on things,” I took them at their word and lowered my expectations. That has served me well.
Here’s an esteemed boomer’s take on their current stance:
They have improved the app slowly, steadily over the last year, and since I have nothing crucial committed to them, that pace has been acceptable. If you’re a lover of history, search the forum for “intuitive” and see what pops up.
Fonts don’t need to be heavy (bold).
The fonts within each tab should be consistant, Home, Events and Account. I don’t use the other two but I suppose they should be consistant also.

I don’t know what else they can do. They’re owning it (the faults of the current app) and pledging to improve it as rapidly as possible. @AustinByr and his team of designers are, I think, part of what @Frederik promised six months ago.
So that’s follow-through.
As a company, they will project their business path as they see fit to achieve profit, growth and development. They will pivot to address unexpected challenges as nimbly as they can.
Here are two things that improved substantially app-wise in my time here, probably the two that most affected my use of the software and cameras:
Indexing of the 12-sec Event to the corresponding SD card Playback Event (or position in Continuous Record) effecting one-tap direct access to expanded video content for study.
Adapting the app (by hook or crook) to retain Hardware Acceleration capability so that older and/or less-robust phones were not excluded from the app upgrade path.
So there’s that. Much appreciated.
And for perspective, here’s the Wishlist/Roadmap/Launched features list:
