Wyze friends, Dave Wyze cofounder here. If we found a sponsor (like Home Depot) to pay for Cam Plus Lite, or possibly full Cam Plus for all cams, how would you react? You get free Cam Plus in exchange for a few banner ads around the app. Worth it? This would only be an option for people that aren…

We will not force this experience on anybody. You would have to opt in. It would only be as a benefit to those who want Cam Plus but don’t want to pay for it. We let brands pay the bill for them and everyone wins,

These were just mocked up by our graphic designer, but yeah we would do whatever the standard is for banner ads in an app. You’re right they are probably bigger than what they should be.

yeah, good questions that we would have to figure out if we were to really develop this feature. I imagine the ads would try to stay in spaces that are out of the way and don’t affect use of the product, as much as we could. There might be a place on the home screen or camera app where features are …

Good points, and yes the hope is to sell the ad space directly and push from our side. If we can do that then we can afford to pay for full cam plus I think. If we have to use an ad network it likely won’t cover the costs of Cam Plus.

Thanks for taking the time to answer questions!

Succinct. I don’t disagree. At the same time, are you encouraged that a company principal is wading into the trenches, thinking out loud among customers about paths forward?

To be fair, as a former Software QA professional…even “bug fixes” usually bring more bugs. It’s the nature of new code. The job of QA is to make sure to catch and resolve the most high-impact bugs since it’s basically mathematically impossible to catch and fix things down to zero bugs even with just…

Despite statements to the contrary, Wyze doesn’t seem like it has a formal group testing its releases. Some of the really bad bugs I see, won’t get past any competent test group. It’s just the developers “testing” their own code. And relying on beta testers to spot their mistakes.

Would you accept ads for Free Cam Plus Lite or Cam Plus?

How about less features and more bug fixes?! New features bring more bugs, it’s getting old.

[POLL] New features! Less bugs! Both! :exploding_head:
