I downloaded the new app (because it forced me to). I then added my partner and they no longer have a local feed (because Arlo is forcing us to subscribe).

 

I accessed a camera feed from my PC and was offered a free months access. I thought, well that's something. I then clicked to purchase and it changed to 'please pay the usual price' mode.

 

Is there any way I can get this free month or is this another Arlo forced play?

If you share your account credentials with your partner, then they will see exactly what you see.

OK. Thanks. 

 

That doesn't solve the free subscription issue but appreciate the response.

Nothing I can help with there, as I don't work for Arlo.

Can you provide a good call back number as well as a good time to call about the subscription? You an send this via dm, you send a dm by clicking on the envelope icon on the top right of the forum page.

Both the UI for the authorized user as well as the main user has to be the same. On the device that is not showing the new UI, you can onboard a Pro 5 ( even if you don't have one) and it will start that update for the new UI. There is no way to go back to the old UI.

@Robin2311 - another option (if you are ok with it) is to set up your girlfriend's phone to use use your Arlo username/password to log into the app.  Then she will see what you see (and will have the same UI that you have).
