New App Update is a complete FAIL!

Alastair58 — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 16:29:36 GMT

I inadvertently updated my Arlo App recently, and it is an absolute mess, completely unintuitive and cannot set up schedules for devices overnight for 2 cameras as iIhad previously.

How to I unwind this and get my old App back?

PS - the desktop interface is equally useless, how on earth this can be sold as a positive step forward I don't know.

Can you give details on what schedule you want? Then we can provide some tailored advice.

You cannot. This is not linked to the app version - it has supported both interfaces for 3 years now. It is linked to how Arlo has your account set up on their servers. There is no way back - Arlo won't change it, as they are wanting to drop the old interface as quickly as possible.

Thank you for responding.

I have managed to achieve what I want by using the Automations.
