User Reviews

Users praise the SkyBell app for its local video storage without a cloud subscription, improved video quality, and better interface in the new app. However, many users experience significant issues such as frequent connectivity problems, unreliable video recordings and live streams, and inconsistent motion detection causing false alerts. The forced migration to the new app causes compatibility challenges, and users report bugs and app instability after updates. Technical support is generally responsive and helpful, but overall user satisfaction is mixed due to these recurring operational problems.

Pros

No cloud subscription needed; stores 7 days of video locally.
Improved video quality compared to older versions.
Improved and more user-friendly interface in new app.
Technical support responsiveness is generally good and helpful.
Ability to block motion zones to reduce false alerts.

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues; devices often offline despite router connection.
Video recordings often unavailable or lost, including live stream failures.
Motion detection overly sensitive to environmental factors causing false notifications.
Forced migration to new app causes compatibility and usability issues with older devices.
App instability and bugs, including authentication and functionality problems, particularly after updates.

Recent reviews

Randomly logs you out. But you still get notifications, when you try to go to the app, it makes you login again.

The app icon does not render properly in the notification area of the Status Bar on Google Pixel phones running Android 16. Only a white circle appears.
