Wyze app 3.0 is GOOD

After reading all the complaints I was still optimistic for the new app. And sure enough… I was right. They just totally fixed my Pan Cam V3 and introduced an awesome new app. I’ve been recommending Wyze for years and they never stopped nailing it. Makes me proud. Great work.

Literally nothing is broken. Everything works smoothly. All cams load up quickly everywhere, and playback. I really like being able to sort the favorites page. I never liked the rules, or automations, being at the very top. The monitoring tab is really cool. I don’t remember if that’s new for me or if I just never checked it out. The timeline view in the events tab is still working great.

One thing missing: I can’t sort the automations by long pressing them. Luckily they stayed sorted the way I had them. This is important for people who want to create a 4x4 rules widget because the widget will be sorted according to how they’re sorted in the automations tab.

One other thing. The automations are still called rules in the widgets.

Also, I tried to swipe between the favorites, devices, and automations tabs. That didn’t work. Maybe something to think about.

That’s it.

I’m sure they’ll continue working on it but so far I’m really liking it. Much more flexible in how the information is presented and still working buttery smooth. Thanks for the great work and dedication. Looks like it might be time to upgrade my doorbell to V2 and add on a couple/few more subscriptions to my little two camera subscription plan.

Update: I’ve deleted my widget and now I just use the favorites tab so. There ya go.

Congrats, Wyze. You’ve upped your game with this one.

It feels super-solid, not ‘cobbled-together’ or ‘shimmed-up’ in the least.

I find the new organization smart, intuitive and innovation-forward.

I immediately enjoyed (had fun!) exploring and learning the new interface.

As I did, new opportunities for device interaction occurred to me. I think the cohesive platform you’ve been working toward is arrived!
 
Note:

  • I have a modest stable of products:
    8 cams (v2s and v3s) 4 plugs and 4 bulbs.
  • I use the Wyze Android app, mostly from home.
  • I have good (not great) 2-node mesh WiFi
  • My daily ‘workflow’ with the products was not impeded at all.

If I might add, I think a key quality of the new design is FLEXIBILITY. I’m seeing Favorites as a potentially DYNAMIC section (for those who desire it) quickly able to respond to developing needs.
