    Bailey (@ColinBaileyUK) reported

    @androidcentral It confirms one essential point. The included at purchase, 7 day cloud storage agreement, is being unilaterally reneged by Arlo. Poor show, dreadful customer approach @mbmcrae @ArloSmartHome

    @ArloSmartHome Half the time this piece of **** won’t even charge, you sit there like an ******* charging it for an hour and nothing happens, it’s till at 20%! I hate arlo anymore

    @RyanAma9 @ArloSmartHome I dont think my arlos are that old, but mine are definitely not working.. Maybe its just a bug right now? Mine were working fine earlier.. still even get notifications.

  • YoungloveJulie
    Julie Younglove (@YoungloveJulie) reported

    @ArloSmartHome has the worst customer service in the world. no phone number, and no live agent in chat. a bot that circles you into nowhere. and all i want is to cancel my account so i stop getting "important updates" for products i no longer own. frustrated af.

  • ChuckGasaway
    chuck gasaway (@ChuckGasaway) reported

    @OffBalanze @ArloSmartHome Agreed. With essential functions shutting down, our VMC4030 cameras will be basically useless. I can live without firmware updates for awhile... but... Arlo won't be a part of any decision matrix when looking for replacements.

    It seems the @ArloSmartHome app is broken again as I can’t log in now and get an oops error #arlo #signin

    @ArloSmartHome please DM me about issue w a new phone being distrusted and unable to get help from Support for my Arlo Pro 4 iOS app lock out. You time out the app two step verification while I’m looking at email on the same device& it becomes an endless circle of frustration.

  • Zephyrmiller
    Zephyr Linda Miller (@Zephyrmiller) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Why can't I get my new phone to be "trusted" by Arlo online. Now it won't trust any of my devices, computer or iPad, not new. I can't find a phone number anywhere and when I tried to chat, the response was "please put this in different terms. I'm new". Somebody please help me.

  • safcbee
    Brian (@safcbee) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Hey! Can anyone reach out and help determine why the batteries in my Arlo Ultra 2 cameras are shockingly bad? The last a matter of days rather than months as advertised..

  • CraigAllen0921
    Craig Allen (@CraigAllen0921) reported

    @ArloSmartHome WTF Arlo. Will not sell me my upgrade cameras because I live in NC or is it because I'm not woke! I'm a huge @NETGEAR fan with a lot of their product. I'm about to throw everything out and go find the equipment else where! UNBELIEVABLE

  • Gshigs
    LOCK HIM UP 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 (@Gshigs) reported

    @CNETNews Arlo is a scam. Advertise cloud storage and camera notifications for years - the main reason for choosing them - and then just announce they’re EOLing and shutting it down. Why would anyone buy from @ArloSmartHome again?

  • JJHulk85
    Jacob Hernandez (@JJHulk85) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Why is it so hard to get assistance on my camera, when I do get someone they hang up on me and are talking to someone else while talking to me. Still haven't resolved my camera issue

  • U_R_Not_A_Woman
    Pepe Reporting (@U_R_Not_A_Woman) reported

    @ArloSmartHome So you can EOL this product too and not support the hardware that I paid more for? No thanks no one wants your ****.

    @mbmcrae Fix your current problems! Where is the complete user manual for the Arlo Ultra 2 XL? Is this customer service? I think I bought an @ArloSmartHome boat anchor!

  • mobinaut
    Mobinaut (@mobinaut) reported

    @ArloSmartHome One more question please because the new app design is so PAINFULLY bad....Which "settings" menus do you mean! there are a ton of settings and we cannot easily identify the one you mean!

  • nasiralamreeki
    ‎ناصر محمد الأمريكي (@nasiralamreeki) reported

    @mbmcrae Strongly suggest enabling remote local storage access via app for VMB4000. Push EOL for Arlo Pro to 2024. Offer all EOL system owners two years of the newer gen cloud storage free. Otherwise every EOL system owner is walking bad PR for @ArloSmartHome for life.

    @Its_Jamin @ArloSmartHome I’m trying to but it gives me a warning that I’ll lose that feature. I shouldn’t lose it. They’re aware of the conflict and are working on a fix.

  • RyanHoltNC
    Ryan Holt (@RyanHoltNC) reported

    The @ArloSmartHome Doorbell Cameras are a piece of ****. Just absolutely terrible.

  • taita1965
    Frank (@taita1965) reported

    Tried to swap my broken camera for new one in my Arlo Secure Single Camera subscription. This used to be flawless but @ArloSmartHome removed this from the functionality. Now I have to cancel my subscription with still 8 months to go, lose my money and start a new subscription.

  • SzmergielChris
    Chris Szmergiel (@SzmergielChris) reported

    @BeljicaPeak @ArloSmartHome Even better they still lie to their android users forcing them to turn on insecure permissions. I dropped Arlo completely after they doubled down on the permissions.

  • amracinggreen
    Ian Ireland (@amracinggreen) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Customer support? Endless scripted troubleshooting I’ve already done, no evidence they’ve read previous case notes, no continuity, no ownership, and no attempt to actually solve the problem. 2/4

    @ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint Hey, arlo how can I get a hold of a life person... I have tried every route and cannot get anyone to help me on my arlo back online. And you offer a phone number, which just happens to be one number short of an actual phone number. Can you please give me a number ? I need help.

  • mahasitavati
    I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported

    @ArloSmartHome @AndroidAuth Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.

  • CGurciullo
    C (@CGurciullo) reported

    @ArloSmartHome @Arlo - stop advertising new products while you are scamming your existing customer base. Your "end of life" scam is nothing but a money grab. We paid good money for a product that you are artificially shutting down (unless we pay you more money).

  • TheRealNWV
    Nickalas W. Venables (@TheRealNWV) reported

    In case you're wondering, yes @ArloSmartHome security cameras are currently down. The entire ******* network. So I'm not saying anyone *should* rob anyone, but it certainly would be a good time if you were the kind of person who'd do such a thing.

    @SAMA92458684 @ArloSmartHome We are having the same problem today. It’s not working.

  • Shaydieblue
    Shaydie Blue (@Shaydieblue) reported

    And while I am at it @amazon did NOT care when I tried to explain to them that they were promoting and selling defective trash from @ArloSmartHome less than 90 days and the cameras do not work properly under a covered porch.

  • fjr2320gmailco1
    FjR (@fjr2320gmailco1) reported

    @ArloSmartHome I used to like Arlo, I've spent a considerable amount on their products. NOW they refuse to answer my emails regarding a fault in my £179. Door Bell. It mysteriously stopped working, they gave me a few things to try and resolve this issue, none of them worked.

  • WisconsinSport6
    Hot Dice (@WisconsinSport6) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Former customer here. Don't buy Arlo. Whatever they promise now they'll change after you buy it. This company is in bad financial shape and will take your money and run. Beware.

    @ArloSmartHome How many times an hour does an "unexpected error" have to occur before it's not "unexpected" any more?
