    @ArloSmartHome What a difficult time I have had with any customer support from Arlo. It’s been terrible. 17x trying to update a firmware update with an existing camera. On the phone an hour. Had to buy a new camera. Absolutely terrible experience.

  • learningxp

    @ArloSmartHome Trying to upgrade my EOL cameras. Credit card got charged the full amount twice. The CS chats were filled with canned answers and completely unhelpful. No idea if my order is good or not. It's been a while since I've had customer service this bad.

  • YYFaridaYY
    Farida Yasmin (@YYFaridaYY) reported

    @ArloSmartHome is the app down. Can’t connect no matter uninstalling and reinstalling. Web log in works but app doesn’t. All device updates installed

  • 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.

    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.

    @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.

    @ArloSmartHome Worst quality control and customer service I’ve seen in a while. I have 6 cameras and 2 of them died misteriously 2 months after the warranty had expired. Their response after hours of “troubleshooting” with them (making me waste hours on stuff that’s on the manua): “Tough luck”

  • JackJoh58480894
    Jack Johnson (@JackJoh58480894) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Your system is terrible. Your cameras will not stay connected. When you try to reconnect it takes multiple, multiple attempts, if they even ever do connect. Can’t get help from a live person. Customer service is almost non existent.

  • sdottnicole

    @ArloSmartHome is there an issue with Trusting new devices for 2FA? My new iPhone and iPad both get error messages when I try to add as trusted devices. My old phone and iPad have been deleted.

  • TeeVeeTee1776
    TeeVeeTee (@TeeVeeTee1776) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Any idea of a time fix? We’ve had bears come by when I’m out. Not cool. I bought cameras for a reason.😬 If not fixed , we’re going to have to move to a different service/camera. It’s been WAY too long safety wise. How about you go back to a prior release for us?

  • ColinBaileyUK
    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

  • Shaydieblue
    Shaydie Blue (@Shaydieblue) reported

    I should have listened to the reviews @ArloSmartHome had terrible customer service reviews for a reason. Buy something else. Not this.

    @tccdoerk @ArloSmartHome @Dlink No but it's two competitors joining forces to help me find this mouse hole!

    @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

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

    @ArloSmartHome Arlo we have a problem, I can no longer connect to a 2.4 ghz and now my floodlight camera is useless. Can you help?

  • TheTruthSekr
    Spicy Bits 🤡 Show (@TheTruthSekr) reported

    @Arlo can go F off... Your EOL policy on 4-year old cameras is the last straw. Arlo has made many fumbles & poor service over the years, but I'm searching for new options, and when I find my replacement, I'm telling the whole world. @ArloSmartHome isn't a very smart company

    @ArloSmartHome I can't find a way to switch my subscription to yearly -- like the price increase email said to do....HELP!

  • 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.

    @ArloSmartHome your customer service and secure plan are a joke. No help.

    @ArloSmartHome Your always happy to help Unless you purchased a Pro 2 series, then 0 help, TRUE? Your always happy to help except you produced a model with a battery that can’t be replaced and it dies in 2-6 years Again, no support, Correct?

    @ArloSmartHome returned my system 👍worst customer service ever. No manual no support. Look elsewhere for cameras Arlo SUCKS!

    Caleb J Robinson (@calebjrobinson3) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Yeah, your DMs are sending me generic links for tech support and subscription services. There was nothing addressing the issue of 7 day cloud storage being deactivated on my account.

  • wrinkled_lemon
    🏎 (@wrinkled_lemon) reported

    @ArloSmartHome I will never trust your products again. If you can do this to earlier models, what's stopping you from EOL-ing current models a couple of years down the road? Why would I *upgrade* to new models when you can just pull the infrastructural support for it later?

  • JohnBurke72
    John (@JohnBurke72) reported

    @ArloSmartHome officially done with arlo. Cameras constantly disconnect now base station no longer connects at all. Garbage, buy @ring

    @ArloSmartHome how the hell does someone get to speak w CS person? I’m locked out of my own damn cameras on the app. If I don’t hear from someone soon, I’m gonna trash these things and buy another company’s cameras. There is NOTHING worse than menu aftr menu of support w no help
