I hope this is the right forum since this is so minor that it doesn’t count as a major feature request in my mind.

When viewing playback on the iOS app (I don’t know about the Android app), you slide the time wheel horizontally to go back or forward in time for footage stored on the microSD card. Obviously you have to let your finger up to continue scrolling, but doing so instantly attempts to load the footage for whatever time the wheel is on when you let go, and while it’s loading it’s not possible to keep scrolling. I think there should be a very brief delay that gives the user half of a second to continue scrolling before attempting to load the video start point, _or_ the interface should allow you to keep scrolling as the video is loading and then cancel the buffering if the user keeps scrolling.

An additional option would be to have an additional time picker that lets you queue up a specific time akin to the alarm app, where you manually dial in the specific minute you want and hit an OK button. Having both options would be good.

What do you think?

Hi @jentax. You might want to check out these #Wishlist and #roadmap topics. Please also note at the bottom of my reply on how to use the #Wishlist and #roadmap categories. 🙂

> It is difficult to find events when using continuous recording. Playback is one of the least customer friendly portions of the app due to the difficulty in finding important footage and the difficulty in selecting the correct start time. Marking the events will let people scroll past footage that they may not care about quickly without having to check. Best, WyzeGwendolyn

It would be nice to be able to quickly go from viewing an alert notification to the live stream and/or full local recording. MOD NOTE: This feature has been added in the version 2.6.x app release. Look for these icons at the bottom of each event video playback screen: [image]

Bonus points if the notification sends us to that point in the SD “Playback” timeline. There’s really two issues here: The cooldown causes the customer to not be aware that there was new motion. The amount of cloud data stored needs to be necessarily limited to keep Wyze’s costs down. Given that Wyze has given us the ability to have more exten…
