What to expect from new ARLO app 5.3.3 ?

[alex_loo]

So I see the release of ARLO app version 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 for both Android and iPhone in this 5.3.2 announcement  and in this 5.3.3 announcement but questions are banned there so I'll just create this discussion to ask.

1. My Pixel 6a here only gets updated to 5.3.1_28773 (released 12/05/24) instead today.  When should I expect 5.3.3 to arrive?
2. Given there are quite a few issues already raised and still outstanding in this community, do we know if the latest versions fix any of them?  I am at least listing those that are concerning me:
   • (under the context of master account also logged in by all other user devices) Geofencing routines for "leave" and "arrive" do NOT always trigger (yes, sometimes they w, making the whole ARLO environment unreliable in terms of home security
   • (under the context of smarthub + no subscription) FEED > Local tab is showing local recordings INCORRECTLY and/or messily.  Users can only stick to original Devices >> Storage settings (it is preferred to see it moved to Feed, though)
   • (under the context of smarthub + no subscription) Cannot perform LIVE recording of any camera to local smarthub

so today, I have received android 5.3.2_28775 (released 12/13/24).  Still not 5.3.3

Anyway, regarding issues:

• dunno if "arrive" and "leave" geofencing has been fixed but I'll just wait for ARLO's announcement
• FEED > local tab is still NOT fixed
• still NO live recording

Basically no change to me, in this release.

A change log of:

• General stability, bug fixes, and performance improvements

Is useless, may as well not bother if they are not going to provide any detail.

Must say such kind of useless release note is not exclusive with ARLO.  Many app updates, include all of Google's, don't even bother to be specific what have been fixed.  "don't ask, just update, idiot!" attitude to users.  The only thing customers can do is going away, or not.

so today, I have received android 5.3.3_28779 (released 12/18/24).

Anyway, regarding issues:

• dunno if "arrive" and "leave" geofencing has been fixed but I'll just wait for ARLO's announcement
• FEED > local tab is still NOT fixed
• still NO live recording

As compared to the previous 5.3.2 and 5.3.1, basically no change to me, in this release.

What camera for no live recording? I just tested my Pro5 2k and it works fine.

Recording while live streaming is a subscription feature.
