Are we beta testing a terrible product? NOT READY YET!
NOT Ready Yet. Sigh. So many issues, it's a joke at this point. Sorry, developers/owners of Ring.com but your product is not ready for release yet. 1) Android support is abominable. If the app isn't OPEN (and I mean you looking at the app) it's completely unreliable. Do anything else on your phone and it's a 50/50 gamble whether you'll get an alert. Even if you're standing inside the door. So this means that as a doorbell, it COMPLETELY FAILS. I can't have a doorbell that works 10% of the time, or 50% of the time, or 75% of the time. I need virtually flawless execution on the DOORBELL FEATURE OF THE DOORBELL. Until you have that, STOP SELLING DOORBELLS. 2) The default (and only) chime you get is super annoying. This is 2015 - I can't choose between chimes or upload my own? 3) The button is really hard to press - and the worst part is visitors won't know they're SUPPOSED to push harder to activate it. So they'll use normal pressure, nothing will happen, and nobody will know the difference. 4) You have a webcam connected to your wifi - and will be charged to store the content in the cloud - but you can't access the camera from the app. What a waste of a feature. So - it's completely unreliable. It's feature set is terrible. And it's expensive. PASS. This is getting returned immediately. What a disappointment.
