Maybe one of the most annoying things...?

Maybe one of the most annoying things about using the Wyze App is the “loading live stream” message when trying to view cameras and the slowness in making camera connections, which too many times never connect until you restart the app. Imagine the annoyance when something important is happening in the yard and u grab your phone to quickly see but, … “Loading live stream…”

I would bet many users don’t have the patience or technical aptitude to even think to restart the app. Even so, it’s very annoying to have to do that. I know many of my family just get so annoyed, they can’t bother trying. When users click, they expect things to work, unless there is a real exception. This hit or miss experience is just … poor. Surely some level of engineering can fix this. Comparing with Ring cams and even the el cheapo SightBulb from Home Depot, the hit or miss with Wyze is very noticable.

I can appreciate that perhaps Wyze cams are a more popular product and the resource requirements to provide the level of expected robustness is huge, but if that’s the case, scaling is😞. For now I resign to the fact that may be the case and that much better can’t be expected at this price point… one of those things? What you all think?

Same problem with “Loading Livestream”. Cannot tolerate the delay when I have an immediate need to check on something on one of my camera’s.

Luckily for me it rarely happens but when it does … it is usually when I heard a noise outside and want urgently to see what’s going on.

The 3.x app seems a bit quicker.
