When on the Monitoring Tab, showing 4 cameras, I cannot get the app to go full screen to put those four views in a mode to utilize the full real estate of the iPad screen.
Tested this on my iPhone 12 Pro Max, and iPhone 16 Pro Max, and same issue, can’t get Landscape mode to show the four camera views to maximize the real estate of the Landscape view.
Double tap on one camera in the monitoring tab will not utilize the landscape view either.
Yes it does, exactly the same. What I am referring is the rest of the tabs, such as Monitoring and Account tabs, you have to flip the tablet as those tabs are in portrait mode only.
@ssummerlin let me try and clear the air with the beef I have with Wyze for not providing a full landscape support when everyone and their mother has.
I have my tablet on a stand on my desk and I monitor my cameras while at my desk. It works great in group mode, but everything else is half baked. I would like to mount another tablet on the wall in the kitchen so we all have a good view of the cameras but the present state of the Wyze app prevents me from doing that. Here is why:
When I first open the app on my tablet, all is fine and dandy, the view opens in landscape view as shown below.
Here is the fun part and where Wyze fails where everyone shines, and I will demonstrate in another post.
I decide to go into the monitoring tab and whoops, I have to bend my neck 90 degrees or disconnect the tablet, remove it from the stand and flip it so I can do whatever I need to do in that tab.
Now, for whatever the reason I need to get into my settings into the account page (don’t even get me started on the single camera settings as you can’t even get to them without flipping the tablet). Way too many flips and flops in my opinion.
No need to flip or bend my neck for any of the above.
What makes it more interesting is that somehow Wyze app works fine in landscape mode on my Mac Mini, mind you I need to scroll down to reach out to whatever is hidden below, but beats flipping and bending
I wish I was a programmer and I could figure out the Holly Grail of landscape mode so I can give Wyze a tip how to do it. I doubt it is that hard, but what do I know, I’m not a code junky.
Don’t even get me started on the dark mode on both phone and tablet…
Both iOS and Android mobile devices have screen rotation lock. Wyze doesn’t respect that setting.
In Android and browsing the cloud events, say you’re portrait mode. Selecting one event then shows the clip in landscape mode? When your tablet is on a stand, you’d have to reach out and grab the tablet.
You’re right. It’s not. I don’t use the Monitoring tab much, but the flippy-floppy going into any Settings is a .
I don’t have enough Kasa devices to experience what you showed, but, dang, that’s really nice how it respects orientation and splits the devices into two columns to more efficiently use the available space. I like that and can see why it’s a favo[u]rite.
Heh: “bytehaus”. I dig it.
That’s super goofy. I wonder why it works in that situation, even with the Monitoring tab?
, I guess.
