Regarding the new mobile app, how do I return to seeing my devices as the default opening screen rather than 'Dashboard'?

It may depend on the app version for the OS but Android works fine if you leave the app while viewing Devices - it will reopen there later.

iOS 18.3.1

Arlo app: 5.6.0 (9095)

Only opens on Dashboard if I leave the app from Devices screen.

@RaylanC Are you soft closing the Arlo app or hard closing removing completely from your background dock.

When I soft close the app it will return to the devices screen after selecting the tab initially.

Meaning you keep the app running in the background. Yes?

I close it. Reentering brings up the dashboard which I have no use for. I prefer the prior app version.

The dashboard is fairly customizable. You can add your devices in any order with various size thumbnails etc.

Have you considered adding widgets for each of your cameras to the dashboard? Then it is similar to the the devices screen.

I suppose I will not have a choice but I will only be duplicating the Devices tab, unless I'm missing something.

You can only change the mode from the dashboard, so there is unique functionality there.
