Agreed, I signed up to these boards today to request the desktop application does not get retired. The interface on ring.com is too slow and cumbersome. Features like live view and using my PC to answer the door are extremely important to me. I work from home, and on the phone constantly, my PC is my go to place to answer the door or give delivery instructions. My kids use the living room PC desktop app, to see who is at the door and either answer it or ignore the door. A definite safety feature. Again keep the desktop app, it's the second feature that actually made us choose ring. Remove it and I may go elsewhere, along with most of my older family who need the app, and don't have a mobile phone. Please reconsider!

Especially since you're discontinuing the native Mac app.

If they kill this feature im kinda lost this is the reason I switched from Hive I work in my office having a screen with my cameras on is a huge security bonus. If this is the case and RING dont realise what they are removing i will be selling my items and moving to a closed circuit loop i think.

I completely agree, i use ring desktop every day since i started working from home. It allows me to see notifications and camera around my house. feels like a backwards step in security
