New Arlo app?

Piano-Man — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 09:13:44 GMT

I read an article on the website this morning stating that Arlo are now a separate company from Netgear and there is a new Arlo app, which we must install otherwise we lose access to the Arlo system after the 30th September. The new app apparently launched on 26th August, or thereabouts. I only just bought and set up the system. My Arlo app, from Google Play store (UK) and developed by Netgear, says the app version is from 27th June, predating the new app launch - but there is no other app available in the Google store... Should there be a new app in the UK?

I'm the same - my app has updated to "Arlo Legacy" but I can't see any new app to download on the Apple app store ?

As per Apple store ( see below )

This is due to the separation of Arlo from Netgear.... Have no doubt the apps in various stores will be available at some date before the deadline.

We will discontinue supporting this app experience on September 30, 2019.

To continue receiving alerts, support, and more, please download the new Arlo app today. Search “Arlo” in the App Store and look for the app icon that’s navy and green. Once you download and sign in to the new Arlo app, please delete the Arlo Legacy app.

Sep 4, 2019

Version 2.7.15

Download the new Arlo app to continue accessing your Arlo account, recordings, and settings. This app (Arlo Legacy) will only allow access to your account until September 30, 2019.

Your account and camera settings, and recordings, will automatically transfer over when you sign in to the new Arlo app. ("Call a Friend" for Arlo Smart subscribers, and mobile devices enabled for Geofencing, will both need to be set up again).

Once you download and sign in to the new Arlo app, please delete the Arlo Legacy app.

Hi I just updated my Arlo app and it says it’s only working to the end of September. It’s suggesting to download the new app in the App Store but I cannot find a new App from you?! Please help.

“new” app is no where to be found in the App Store

Danno52 — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 16:17:38 GMT

Updated the Arlo app today (now named Arlo Legacy) and it told me I would have to update to the new Arlo app but the “new” app is no where to be found in the App Store.

New Arlo app logo update 04 September 2019

fisheye7 — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 10:26:56 GMT

Small point but makes a visual difference.
New Arlo app logo colour has changed to a nondescript black & white ‘colour’.
The previous app was a quickly recognisable, distinctive green based colour.
Change just for the sake of change is not useful. When something is good please don’t change it. We get used to seeing the app on a small screen & immediately recognise its bird logo and the green colour was unique, the black & white scheme just gets ‘lost’.
Regards.
P.S. had to post here as system denies me positing under ‘Arlo App’ section due to me not having enough posts or something similar to that...

Ok thanks. It’s weird that it’s not mentioned.

Typical for netgear

Parky14 — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 10:25:21 GMT

Same here, supposedly released on 26th August but not in iOS App Store. Arlo’s own link to the app takes you to the Legacy app.

The color change was prob due to the new app coming out to allow users to know diff between old and new

Can’t find new Arlo app in Australian Apple App Store

VinsL — Wed, 04 Sep 2019 10:34:51 GMT

Hello guys, as the Arlo Legacy app is about due. I can’t find the ‘new Arlo app’ they say in the Australian Apple App Store. Anyone get any idea or link. Much appreciated

Not in mine either. Typical bunch of arlo crap.

Can’t figure out their system or use their brains to first release the app in all the stores before putting killing the app in less than a month.

Coming soon to Google Play? I hope so. Because, after only a few days of using the system, now away from home with firmware that won't update and cameras I can no longer view, I've quickly developed distrust in it. I bought it on the basis of professional reviews and discovered that the implementation has not been given proper thought by the company (firmware updates that disable your system until you update, but it refuses to update for no discernible reason??) So, I'm worried that end of September will come and there will still be no app in Google Play, but it will be beyond the date for returning for a refund and I'll have a nice brick in the house. I'd like assurances - not only that the app is coming but also that this broken firmware updating system will be fixed so my house isn't left without camera surveillance like it is right now.

Thanks for your reply.
Oh dear, by the looks of posts coming in, this is going to keep you busy. 😉
Perhaps a simple update without changing name or colour etc. would have been simpler, like most other app updates do. Maybe there’s a good reason this hasn’t been done... Don’t need to reply to this, Im sure you’re busy with other replies...
Keep up the good work, it’s appreciated, even if not often said. 😉
