App used to work well.

New version does not support landscape. Why regress something so fundamental??

Awful Doorbell cam

I have had both ring and SimpliSafe doorbell cameras. The performance of the SimpliSafe doorbell camera is nothing short of awful! It is literally 20 feet from my router and Wi-Fi source and constantly drops videos. Meanwhile, I have a ring outdoor cam sitting on my front porch, not dropping the same exact videos! Why do I continue to pay $30 a month for this?? I am looking into dropping this system! Iโ€™m sick of it!!! Buyer beware and research before you buy!

Some sensor is ALWAYS out

There are always multiple sensors not functioning in my system. Random sensors go out and then come back in later, but there is always a gap somewhere in my alarm coverage. What good is it then? I am to the point that I hate my SimpliSafe system because I donโ€™t have confidence that itโ€™s got my property covered.

Oct 15 App Update Broke Orientation on iPad

I love SimpliSafe and the app itself is fine, but the Oct 15 update makes it very frustrating to use it on my iPad when I have the iPad oriented in landscape mode with the keyboard attached. The app will not rotate into landscape mode; I have to turn the iPad to portrait mode to use it. I have tried all possible settings (including changing settings under multi-tasking and gestures) but since nothing works.

COLOR options please

I have 2 homes with separate SimpliSafe systems. I use one app. I continually arm or disarm the wrong location. Yes you can name each location and itโ€™s a tiny text at the top. Is it possible to change the background color of each location so itโ€™s obvious so i donโ€™t arm or disarm the wrong location? Or load a photo to use as a background image.
