Yeah, that totally makes sense. The oldest Cam I have is a Cam Pan v3, so I’ve never actually owned anything that uses the older UI. I suspect that they’re trying to get Cam v3 up to date to match newer Cams’ UIs and deliver a more consistent UX going forward, especially since that one (along with newer Cams) was updated with VerifiedView in the firmware and they’ve been putting out messaging for users to update the app.

That makes more sense. As long as adding something like that doesn’t overcomplicate the situation and introduce bugs, I’m all for giving users more choice. I think the easier thing to implement more uniformly (rather than coding a new control for users to tinker with) would be just to add contrast to the existing elements. That would be a _huge_ usability improvement if they’d just devote the resources to getting it done, I think.

Although I don’t use landscape mode much, and I don’t find it much of an inconvenience to rotate my phone in live view, I understand that a lot of people like to monitor their users on mounted tablets, and if the tablet is mounted in landscape orientation, I can imagine trying to use the app would be a huge exercise in frustration. They should definitely fix that (and add real dark mode throughout).

I understand the longstanding frustrations. I have a few, clearly. 😁 I also hope that what you have still allows you to monitor your chickens, which reminds me of [the last time I was in a chicken coop](https://forums.wyze.com/t/dedicated-notification-button-requested/309066/12) (without chickens).
