Doesn't support the most obvious thing

I only wanted to have a desktop notification when a Ring doorbell is pressed. Even though the app claims support for Ring, there's no way to trigger on a doorbell press. On top of that, this seemingly simple notification costs $4 per month.

Dumb account setup

Too US centric
Outside the US - 1 country of over 195 recognised by the United Nations

WE DONT USE 5 DIGIT ZIP CODES

the ones we do use (POSTCODES) are alphanumeric and can be much longer

so it wont let you setup a location correctly

Left with no help!

Does not work with ring :-/

Doesn’t work.

Installed the app and it couldn’t connect to my services or when it did, there were no devices found.

GREAT APP

I CAN MONITOR ALL 5 OF MY RING CAMERAS ON ONE SCREEN.

Response from developer

Thanks for reviewing Home Alerts camera integration which now works with Google NestCam, Blink Cameras, Ring Cameras and Spypoint DeerCam! Please provide feedback on how we can make our app even better :)

Terrible

myQ is supposed to be supported, but I couldn’t get it to log into my account.

Response from developer

MyQ intentionally blocked 3rd party support in October for most vendors, which unfortunately includes Home Alerts. We reached out to them to resolve but have not heard back. This is has been upsetting to the entire smart home community, as it’s another step back in the interoperability that we all desire. We do course apologize for the inconvenience and will let you know if anything changes.

great!

What a grea app i like the fact i can wattch all my cameras on one app

NOT FREE!

Bait and switch - to use popular video recording apps like Ring, they charge $4 per month.

Doesn't work

Won't let me create an account to us the app.

Response from developer

That is very strange, any chance the email confirmation is going to your spam folder? I’m seeing a lot of new user accounts today. Feel free to reach out to me at support@homealerts.app

Great Concept

Great concept but out of all the smart devices I have the only one this app supports is MyQ. No Reolink, no Yale, and of course if you wnat to use Google it's ANOTHER subscription. Now I can't event delete the account I created. I'll pass.

Response from developer

Thanks for giving Home Alerts a try! Good news, Yale will be added this month as part of the free tier! Google now requires a 3rd party security assessment $$$, so unfortunately I cannot afford to include in the free tier. Deleting an account can be done via “My Account”.
