Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

The camera works very well but the app requires too much maintenance. The app is always hassling me for personal information. Now they want a picture of my face! The software developers need to leave the product alone. The doorbell works fine without their 'enhancements.'

I’ve had my ring camera for about 2 years now. It worked perfectly for the first year. Then it would disconnect from the internet often even though everything else in my house was working fine. Now it keeps saying it’s installing an update and gets stuck there for hours/days. I used to love my ring camera. But now I hate it!
Lesty poo
Yall really thought I would buy premium when the trial of the premium was absolute garbage? I have two ring cameras, one outside and one inside my apartment, and throughout the trial I would notice that a LOT of the motion that was happening inside or out was not even caught on camera and saved at all. If you were thinking about getting their overpriced premium I would NOT recommend it. Do better ring.
