### 3/5 — Extra Charges

*2026-08-09, version 5.109.0*

I think it is ridiculous to pay such and expensive subscription fee. The cameras are not cheap to begin with and the price is too much.

### 4/5 — Fix this please!!!

*2026-08-08, version 5.109.0*

Update August 8, 2026–Has anyone else started experiencing double notifications? It’s been happening to me for a couple of months now. I have over 30 devices, most of which are pro floodlight cameras. I highly recommend these devices. They’ve become incredible since Amazon acquired Ring years ago.

I have a suggestion for Amazon: offer people 6 hours of playback without requiring a subscription. I believe this model would encourage more people to subscribe, especially when they realize 6 hours is a great feature. Over time, I think it will make them want more time to review their recordings.

Thank you, Amazon, for being such an amazing company! I’m a loyal product subscriber and shareholder. 
___________________A very stupid thing started happening with iOS 18. If you’re wearing your AirPods and speaking on a phone call. If you have critical notifications turned on at your doorbell the notification keeps cutting the connection to your AirPods repeatedly. Very annoying!!!!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Both cameras are good the app can be glitchy at times

### 1/5 — No sound

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

No sound on playback or live view even though the volume is up full. Previous worked perfectly.

### 1/5 — Constantly Off line

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Always off line - constantly have to sign in. Useless.

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Hard to connect and then often loses connection for no reason

### 3/5 — Flawed video capturing

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Cameras don’t catch everything you want them to. It’ll stop recognizing motion prematurely. Have missed the whole point of having a Security Camera many times.

### 1/5 — Forced trial upgrades with AI

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Forced free trial upgrades with AI that I don’t want and never agreed to.  Can’t disable or undo.  Have to wait 30 days for it to expire.  There is no valid basis for not letting me opt out of a forced trial.

### 1/5 — App

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Won’t even let me sign in or make a password and have tried many different ways

### 2/5 — Poor Support

*2026-08-06, version 5.109.0*

I have a very expensive Wi-Fi system, so the problem is not my Wi-Fi. But this drops off Line all the time. I love the product / idea.  I just wish I could get it to stay connected. I wish I had somebody to call, and not an automated assistant.

### 1/5 — Bad last update

*2026-08-06, version 5.109.0*

App functionality is completely broken after last update, almost every page gives errors and is inaccessible. Works fine on my partner’s android, issue with iOS app.

### 1/5 — New Gen problems

*2026-08-06, version 5.109.0*

Last battery ring device, no issues. New gen 2k battery one? Plenty. Live view loads forever. Motion sensors react late. Video playback freezes CONSTANTLY so can’t see anything. Audio still goes but drops out too. It’s been reset multiple times. My RSS strength is 42. It’s not a wifi problem. Ring are adamant it’s a connection issue. It isn’t. Also had the problem others have had where it randomly logged us out, told us plan wasn’t attached to the device, and transfer plan to new device (which was done already) … just way too many problems for a new gen device to be acting like this. Did they send out a bunch of lemons? Not happy with ring. One more reset and will just trash it if no fix and buy different company!

### 1/5 — Does not always capture movement

*2026-08-06, version 5.109.0*

Several instances as I looked out my peep hole and saw a person walking pass it wasn't captured, this happens on a regular basis , why is that?

### 1/5 — Snapshot frequency too low

*2026-08-06, version 5.109.0*

They now only allow minimum 15s snapshot frequency without upgrading - this would be fine if they capture person and event accurately- which is not always the case. So when they miss identifying a person passing by, the person would not show up in the history video at all because the 15s is a long enough gap between the snapshots. Ring should increase the frequency without user has the upgrading because capturing a person is a basic function that customers choose the product.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-06, version 5.109.0*

If you can avoid them all together, do it before you are hooked. Useless app . Constantly disconnecting or doesn’t refresh at all.

### 1/5 — Appalling

*2026-08-13*

Ring is absolutely unreliable door bell that is out there. They have no support in India and  you are left with a device which is nothing but a cheap camera! Will never buy their products

**Developer response:** Hey there 

Thank you for sharing your concern with us. We apologize for the frustration this has caused. Rest assured that our support team on Facebook can look into this with you. To connect, send a PM to @Ring.

### 1/5 — Leading not buying

*2026-08-13, version 5.110.0*

These cameras are ok and the backend is alright. The issue is that they are basically useless if you don’t pay the huge monthly fees. What this really means is that you are leading these devices in perpetually.

### 1/5 — Unable to answer

*2026-08-08, version 5.109.0*

I can hear the person on the bell but they can’t hear me .

### 1/5 — Avoid this product  - Ring is Clownware

*2026-08-08, version 5.109.0*

I have a ring security Cam. Ring is not a good reliable product. when you go into the last bit of power saving mode and suddenly you have a knock at your door at 5am and you are in power save mode you cannot just force it into a last ditch effort to see or record an event. recorded events require a subscription. 

I also found the Apple version of this program to not follow my specific audio and notification settings. The app pouts in a weird way and becomes a total nuisance. if you leave notifications on it will flood your android notice screen with hundreds of notices and if you mute the notices it will just entirely stop making sounds to notify you entirely. absolute clown show of a company. spend your nickles on an Axis camera instead.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-08, version 5.109.0*

Constantly goes offline and can’t be reconnected.

### 1/5 — Rubbish watch in the past

*2026-08-08, version 5.109.0*

Rubbish system and notification speed . by the time the doorbell lets you know that someone on your property Type already been to your front door turned around and left so all you can do is watch after the event it is just so slow. If somebody is robbing  off your doorstep all you can do is watch after the event.

### 1/5 — Watch out

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Lose WiFi or power and your on a 2 hour mission to reconnect

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

The app forced me to update to use it when I needed to see who was breaking into my house and time was of the essence. Do better, it should always be optional to update when you need to see the live feed of the camera.

### 1/5 — Started asking for my feedback all the time

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Really annoying

### 1/5 — Terms no

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

I dont agree to new terms. You turned my products off since my app wasn’t updated, I have no choice or consent to new terms, nor agreement with ICE and facial recognition

### 5/5 — Ring

*2026-08-07, version 5.109.0*

Great

### 5/5 — Take money from wrong account

*2026-08-06, version 5.109.0*

Used ring for a few years. It’s okay but has missed things like someone knocked over our front wall, as it must have been outside the boundary.
My main gripe is this was on my wife’s account, and when the date on the card ran out, they started and continued to take it from mine. The only thing of why this might be was I purchased it on my Amazon account.

### 5/5 — Best spy guy
