After an update last night arlo app on my s5 cell phone will not load. It tries to but flashes off and on over and over. App will still open on the same phone with the legacy mode. I've uninstalled and reinstalled repeatedly.

The app crashes, reloads, crashes, reloads (in perpetuity) until I force my android tablet to shut down. I have a Samsung SM T900 tablet. I am not able to access anything inside the app. I tried reinstall. After I entered my user/pw, the same crashing issue occurred. My tablet software is up to date.

Same thing happened to me this morning.  I have a Samsung V6 model, Android version 7.0.  Someone stated that it was a Samsung issue but I must disagree since Samsung has stopped updates for my phone.  I installed the Arlo Legacy app, which worked for a while but know when I open it, the app states that my system or Internet is down.  Neither is correct since I was able to log in on my computer and verify the system is up.

 

As a side note, as of today, I am not able to initiate a "Live" view of my cameras.   Coincidence?

I'm having the same problem.  On my android, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still when I open the app, it flashes the logo on a white screen, then disappears and then comes back again.  It literally takes over my phone since I can't get out of the app, flash, disappear, flash, disappear every two seconds and I can't click on another app.  On my desktop, it keeps telling me to upgrade Adobe Flash which I have done, yet when I try to look at the activity, it says I need to upgrade Adobe Flash.  WTH is going on???  seems to me every time Arlo 'improves' something, it boogers up everything else?

I had thought it may be a samsung thing....but I don't now after seeing how many problems other people are having with different devices.

Welp, I uninstalled the new crappy app and reinstalled Legacy and everything is working as it should be.  So, one day Legacy will go kaput and what then?  If the new app hasn't got the kinks worked out, my camera is not accessible to me on my desktop or my android?  gee, thanks Arlo, I love wasting hard earned money on something that hasn't lasted a year.

Hi was yours flashing before you allowed all permissions? I have tried everything including giving all permissions and still does the same thing for me.

I have a different problem as my new app works but my modes are gone but here is the savior site to roll back to the 2.10.0_26060 app and many other older Arlo apps I had to roll back to make everything work right. https://www.apkmirror.com/?post_type=app_release&searchtype=apk&s=arlo

 

Here is my thread I started in the Arlo pro 2 section https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/New-app-update-is-screwed-up-once-again/m-p/1740756#M38199

The app on my android, galaxy S6 just started blinking white and hoes back to my home screen. It works fine on my android tablet and on my husband's IPhone. I read other questions about this. I've rebooted my phone and uninstalled/ reinstalled the app.

My app won't open. Samsung Galaxy S6 running on android vers 7. I do have an elderly parent I need to monitor and this is very frustrating since I can't check to see if he is safe.

Since this recent update I have not been able to open the App. I have tried powering off the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling the App several times. I have checked for more updates but nothing works. The app tray to open and then closes and repeats the process endlessly until I turn the phone off to stop it. Is there a problem with this update that makes the App useless for Android phones?

Android 7 on Motorola G4 Plus.

 

Same thing - it tries to open but won't, then won't let me open on Windows either as it thinks it's logged in on another device. 

 

Was this update even tested before being pushed?

I tried downloading the new arlo app again this morning with the same results. I had taken it off at bedtime last night because the motion alerts were coming through but no way to look at what it was unless I went back to arlo legacy app. Reinstalled the latest app with the same effect. Flashes the arlo screen then back to white over and over. I tried all the other versions and still only legacy works for me.
