I just did the latest November 21 update for the Arlo Android app. After I did the update, the app popped up with a notification that said it needed new permissions and would need to push out notifications to my phone. I thought that was fine because that's the way it's always been, but I've never seen this notification come from the app. The next thing that popped up was that it was asking for permission to make phone calls, which I denied because I don't want Arlo to make phone calls for me. I only have the basic. I was told that with the Premium plan, the app can call 911. Nevertheless, the only permissions I've ever given Arlo is for notifications, and it worked just fine before.
After a bit of troubleshooting, it's very clear that denying the Arlo app the ability to make phone calls breaks the app. I can get into the Mode screen, but then the app does not allow me to do anything further. That means I can't arm or disarm cameras. I can't set up zones; I can't do scheduling; I can't do anything that I would need to do through the Mode screen. This is true for both Arlo Q and Pro 2 cameras on my app.
I did call customer support, and he took notes, gave me case #, and said someone would get back to me. So if you are having the same problems please call them and let them know....
Solved! Go to Solution.

Chat support had no solutions. Just to wait for a fix. System is useless in the mean time. There should be a way to go back to tne prevoius app version.

Yeah, I know. Just when I thought we were in the clear now that they had fixed the ridiculous battery drain issue, this happens...

Several posters said they solved the problem on the newer Apple iPhones by downloading the ios 12.1.1 public beta.

App crashes on open, using Galaxy S7 Crown, Android. No error message, just crashes on open. Similar crash reported solved on another type of Galaxy S7 through a patch. Restarted phone, reinstalled app, etc., etc., tried everything imaginable. The app is broken and needs patched ASAP. Standard hub and cameras, doesn't matter, it's the app. Browser access works fine.

Aaaand this is why I disabled auto-updates for ALL my apps- to stop Arlo breaking.
Using 2.5.3_22376 (8/8/18) and everything works perfectly.
Honestly every 2nd update from the dev team breaks something, I found a version that works and I'm keeping it.

We are no longer able to open our ARLO application we installed on our phones (android). It does install but when we try to open it states, "ARLO has stopped" we cant get into the application to see our camera videos. I still receive notifications for each device for motion recordings and on which camera, but can no longer view. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted my phone no luck.

My Arlo wireless worked fine until the last up date, now it says either close app or arlo has stopped. Anyone know how to fix this?

Many existing threads on this. It only happens on some devices. I have 3 and it only happens on 1. Open a case with support here to add pressure.
