SkyBell Android

Would like all door bell rings to be recorded. Also a quicker response would be nice. If motion is detected, a 10 second stored feed would be awesome. Right now, I can only see who left my house, not who was there. Update: this app has lost all functionality and will not even pull up my door bell anymore. Its obvious that there us no more support for this app.

I had to borrow a friend Ipad in order to sync the device with my Wi-Fi. Once sync, it works fine in Android however, no video feed once I disconnect my mobile device from WiFi. I have a Samsung Galaxy S6, developers don't keep dropping the ball. You will lose a lot of customers due to bad coding.

Please remove your servers from the equation and let connect locally over the same wifi. It doesnt work 4 out of 5 and when it does it takes 10+ seconds to load the feed. This is with the router 10 feet away and with a speed test of 80 mbps down 15mbps up. I Just want to know who rang the bell when im home. The 4G gimmick is useless.

Was bad before but even worse now. The doorbell will ring on my phone but will not display anything which is why I changed my 2 star to 1. The motion sensor is to sensitive. Goes off over a snowflake and will disturb me 5,6 and 7 times a day to veiw nothing but my front yard. Wish you could adjust the sensitivity via the app to cure the issue. And the activitie history doesn't work, I could ring the door bell 20 times & activity history is 0.

Great idea but takes way too long to connect over cellular. Lack of app updates and it appears the companies way of offering the marketed solutions in the product that they failed to deliver on is through the purchase of a newer model. Had high hopes. Great when it does work. I may be switching to one of the other similar solutions.

Very bad price/quality relation doorbell. What about app, it's glitching all the time, 4 of 5 times just can't answer, just see loading ring no voice and no image with stable connection from both sides. Cant speak and her the guest at same time. Very bad for it's price, will never recommend this doorbell to anyone and definitely will not but from this company again.

The android app is lacking a lot of the promised features. The contrast feature doesn't work. It crashes the app, so I avoid it completely. The motion sensor setting doesn't seem to work either. Not sure if this is a device issue or an app issue. Can't add multiple users via android app. No slient mode in app. I had to sync Skybell via an iPad initially for the entire device to work. Very disappointed in the app overall.

Doorbell will not work with my android phone despite trying re-installing app. Only thing that works is the feature that automatically rings the bell if you stand on the porch for more than five seconds. Samsung g6. I almost bought another door bell thinking mine was broken

Has this device and application been tested? It does not seem ready for prime time. Poor install process (wall mount, wiring, and tiny screw to lock the cover). Android app is even worse! I can get on demand video to work but notifications do not work at all. When changing various settings in the app they keep reverting to their original state. Skybell needs to hire software developers for all platforms! I feel ripped off...

It fails about 95% the time. I'll get the notification and attempt to open the camera, but then it just spins for a minute or so and fails to connect. Kind of infuriating. I've held off on reviewing for months, hoping it would get fixed, but it's starting to look hopeless. The 5% of the time it does work is nice, but that doesn't qualify as a neat party trick, let alone a reliable home tool. If you could remove your servers from the equation and let me connect directly to the camera, that might help.

my SkyBell classic not working any more & when i contact your support to know why my 100$ bell not working i received the below feedback Unfortunately the device you have is now obsolete. The advancement in technology has caused us to have to move forward and we had to advance our products to meet the demands of the communication devices used to control and function with the SkyBell. Most phones now use a 64 bit platform and our old SkyBell classic ran on a 32 bit platform. We have since released a new device that utilizes the 64bit platform. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

I bought the skybell a long time ago and at some point I forgot I actually own one because it's been so useless. I figure I'd give a review before I uninstall the app. It takes so long to wait for the video to load that the person is gone before the app gets the video up. I'll probably just replace my skybell will a regular doorbell and maybe give the skybell to my dog to throw around the yard.

App isn't very helpful if you have problems. I finally found that I cannot synch with WiFi unless you turn off cellular data first. It was maddening and there's nothing in the help to alert you to this fact. Once I got it synched , it worked fine.

My wife is Apple ... I am Droid. I believe the Android app interfered with or disrupted the device when combined with iOS on the same account. However one thing I did do was assign a static IP for our SkyBell on the router. The static IP seems to really help stabilize the SkyBell's reliability and responsiveness. Yet, since SkyBell is really for my wife, I uninstalled the Android client, just in case.

This app is horrible. I have the newer Skybell and this app doesn't do the hardware justice. It crashes a lot, takes forever to connect which means you have to log out and back in again ... and the activity history never seems to work, I just get a black screen. I want this app to work perfectly because the idea behind it is great.

I purchased a Ring unit before this and the Ring did not work for me. SkyBell works great, has live view and motion sensor features. Works great on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime and iPhone on T-Mobile. Love this product and no monthly service charges. Just remember to turn on notifications for your phone for you SkyBell application. You must also be on a fast internet service. The Ring system has monthly service charges.

Kind of defeats purpose of the device. It's odd it worked fine on T-Mobile with a oneplus one. But upgrade to a nexus 6 with marshmallow and it gets the sound but no pics. They need to fix this, was looking to upgrade to hd version but might look elsewhere. Support is mediocre with this, it took me googling and finding a woot discussion that said he had same phone and it didn't work and they told him to get ios. It does work on my iPad, but for the most important use its slow to connect and now doesn't work

Company not willing to replace faulty equipment without a receipt. Skybell stated that the unit is faulty, but wont replace without receipt as it was given to us via a TV Show named "The Talk". The company isn't willing to work with customers to get unit replaced. I have uninstalled the app and unit from my home. They had stated they would send me an email, but did not.

I design embedded h/w for a living so I know a thing or two about this is built. I want to love this product but can't. It has to have been rushed out the door because the features don't always work. Hey guys @ Skybell hire some good senior people to help you out because I really want to see this work.

It is buggy. I mean I have had the SkyBell 2.0 for almost 2 years and it still has issues. You would think the app would be more polished. I am sure that they will say to get the new version...Sorry I am going to go with another brand.

Skybell doesn't work on the TMo network and Skybell claims T Mobile is the problem. Skybell also claims the problem only affects android devices on the TMo network. They say iPhones work great with skybell. Can't have it both ways. Either TMo is the problem or, what I suspect is, Skybell has hired a bunch of ios app guys that don't know how to develop apps for Android. Fire some of those ios guys, hire some android guys and get us up to speed.
