Try the New Rapid Ring App Today

The Rapid Ring app is now available for your iOS mobile devices! The classic Ring app is a powerful tool that allows for great control over your devices and their many settings. However, there are times when you receive a notification from your device and you want to start streaming ASAP. This is when the Rapid Ring app is most useful. Rapid Ring is a "light" version of the classic Ring app. It includes the status of your Ring devices, the ability to activate Live View and respond to an event as quickly as possible. Learn more about Rapid Ring in this [Help Center article](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028023571-Rapid-Ring-App-Information). Please note, once you install the Rapid Ring app and turn on notifications for your devices, you will no longer receive notifications from the original Ring app. You will now only receive event notifications directly from the Rapid Ring app for speedy answering. Go download it today! You can find it in the [App Store](https://ring.com/ios) (for iOS devices) and the [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ring.answer&hl=en). Just search “Rapid Ring”. Note: The Rapid Ring App is currently only available in the UK, US, Australia, and Canada.

          So far liking the app. Only thing I do not like is when you hang up on the camera it does not take you to the dash board of the app. Instead it just closes the app.

        OK - Obvious Question. Why was this not done in the Original "Classic" App?

          @DonC the key feature of the Rapid Ring app is for quick access to a live view on your devices. Please double check that your Ring app, Rapid Ring app, and mobile device is updated to their latest versions for intended functionality. Let us know how this goes!

          The Firmware Version in my "Classic" App is 1.16.00263 But, I cannot seem to be able to check whether or not that is the most current version or to update it if necessary. I see no way in the Rapid Ring App where a Firmware Version is noted or how to update it. My ios Software is 12.4.1 & is up to date.

          Thanks for confirming that information @DonC . No worries, I'll be glad to help further with this. The best way to update your Ring app is to visit the IOS app store \> Tap "Updates" at the bottom \> find the Ring app on the next screen and tap on it, it should prompt for an update. Also, you can search for "Ring" in the app store and download the most recent version of the Ring app that way. The most recent version is now 5.18.1, hope this helps!

          My Ring "Classic" App is on Version 5.18.0 I am sure it will update itself soon. My concern is that the "Firmware" is not showing that I have the latest version. Since it is showing a Version # instead, it obviously needs to be updated. How do I " **force" it to update the Firmware?**
