Wyze App 3.0 (iOS)

Wyze App

Few issues:

  1. I do appreciate the larger images. Nice

  2. I wonder how useful that off/on button is - placed at the top right of each feed. For right-hand users (most of us) it just looks like an invitation to accidentally turn off the camera. Why is it there? Do that many of your customers turn off and on cameras all the time? Genuinely curious

  3. Losing the still-frame when you first load up your ‘faves’ is a real shame. I don’t use alerts (too many cameras), but this was a nice way to be able to see if any action happened, and when to dig deeper. Also avoided that annoying spin glyph while each video loads up.

  4. Probs would be easier for most users (that didn’t BETA) if you had included all cameras in the favorite view. Then let them figure out they can remove from ‘Fave’ in the device menu. (opt out not in). By default it appears you’re limiting Faves to 5 cameras (distressing). This is backed up by existing behavior where you limit cameras in ‘monitoring’.

  5. There are no handlebars for moving fave camera orders. So it’s a learned behavior. Also - when you go to devices and order them - it doesn’t automatically keep that order in ‘Favorites’ - it should, right? It shows user has a preference. I ended up doing devices first, then back to Faves…

  6. Bigger format is great, why did you not carry this model over to the ‘events’ screen? Right now so much white-space to just show camera name, timestamp, length, subject. would be nice if these were 50% larger.

  7. Just a personal wish - the camera icons are so small, that all cameras look the same (almost) for the rotating camera - wish there were a small (red/orange/some color) rotate icon that would quickly let me know which cameras offer rotation.

Overall, looks like a nice update, with some caveats.

What do other iOS users think of 3.0 thus far?

  1. Probably they want customers accidentally to hit it Off. Wyze would Save bandwidth and storage space.

Wyze app 3.0 I don’t like the livestream in favourites and I would like a cached view of each camera in the devices tab, to help me choose a camera based on the image, instead of just the name. Hopefully they make changes, or give the option to configure it the way we prefer.
In the favourite tab, I’d prefer to have a smaller image, so I can see more cameras at once, AND NO LIVE STREAMING. Sometimes I’m in a location with poor cell coverage, and I expect this live-streaming to be painful.

I strongly dislike it and added a post of my concerns:
