I have the most updated app and cameras. The new app has the Arm Away, Arm Home and Standby "Modes".
Is there are way to create a 4th mode? I'd like to be able to customize my modes a little more.

I don't work for them.
That said, if they were were going to keep Library, they wouldn't have migrated millions of subscribers to Feed over the past months. I don't see any path where they try to maintain two very different interfaces in the same app forever.
The path forward is clearly going to be built on Feed.

I just cancelled my service and am looking for new cameras for the same reason. They took a good product/service and totally screwed it up.

Local storage hasn't changed. I suspect you were using the free 7-day cloud storage before (and NOT local storage). That has changed, as Arlo stopped offering that on new camera models back in 2018 - so all the currently sold cameras need a subscription for cloud storage.

No. I have the arlo smarthub base stadion with memorycard in it. Why would you suspect that?
Arlo has taken away a good product and destroyed it with the new app/UI. I now have no dig deep into the settings on the smarthub base stadion to access my recordings. Before it was listed in the same library as the cloud. So yeah, this still sucks. And we all hate arlo now that paid extra for this in 2021.

Because a lot of folks posting issues on local recordings were actually using the 7-day free cloud storage with their legacy cameras, but mistakenly thought they were using local storage.

They are in the process of changing that back, so local recordings will be shown in the feed. That should roll out with the 5.2 version of the app. You'll see a "local" option in the feed settings when you get that change.

No new changes for me on 5.2 on Android. On Apple, a different story. I presume they're still working on the Android version, and knowing how they work, we'll be used as testers... I hope I'm wrong, though.

From a cost effective point, probably it'd have cost Arlo less money to make some changes/alterations to the graphics on the old app rather than to develop a new one.
Instead, they're spending all that money on constantly fixing the new app - and struggling to do that big time - but also developing 'new' features like custom modes or moving the local storage (back) to the Feed section, which is the old 'Library' section.
Seriously, they could have just added another tab on the old app called 'Dashboard', though to be honest I still have no idea what's the difference between 'Dashboard' and 'Devices' (and the new version apparently defaults to Devices anyway if Dashboard has no devices listed there), make the Devices section editable, renamed Library with Feed, and change the colour from green to blue, and that would be it. Instead, they created something that everyone hates and, most importantly, finds it extremely difficult to configure, let alone lack of flexibility.
New features would be an ability to edit (rename, move about and delete from view) the old Devices, Library etc sections, i.e. the lower part of the app, as well as the order in which cameras occur. Plus more customisation such as editable buttons like Arm, Arm away etc to suit the European market where the alarm system is unavailable.
But, that kind of approach of not thinking things through seems to be adopted by a lot of inept managers that want to justify their big salaries: take an old product that is good and repackage it but in a way that destroys all the good features.

Here's what I am now seeing with iOS
I was expecting to see "Local" in the feed filtering, but instead they put it on the main screen, with a pulldown to select the base station. That is similar to "Library", although with "Library", the pulldown was built into the screen title.
