With the new IOS being out on Apple and them Introducing “Widget” feature it would be awesome if Ring could do a widget where it links straight to our own cameras and do a live feed etc :)

    I just activated the Modes feature and love this concept. I've read other requests to be able to add more modes and I love that idea. (I think it would be awesome to be able to customize motion zones within modes as well, but that's not what my main suggestion is). I would LOVE for you guys to create an Android widget for Modes. This would be a great feature to add the widget to my phone's home screen with the 3 mode buttons very easily accessible. If I'm going to be spending time outside and want to quickly disarm, I would love to not have to open the app to do that and be able to do that directly from the widget on my home screen. Thanks for considering!

      Add me to the list of folks asking for a widget for Android phones. I just started using Ring and I'm amazed that one doesn't exist.

    It would be great if you guys could make a widget for Apple that shows the most recent video feeds and could be clicked for live feed.

      Almost 4 years ago, Android introduced 'app long press shortcuts.' These are similar to Apple's 3D touch, where long pressing on an app icon gives a host of other options which were normally buried within the app. It looks like the Ring app still doesn't have this! It's a shame because now that Ring's family of products has grown considerably, these long-press shortcuts could get us to specific functions much quicker. Specifically, for example, checking alarm devices. Right now, you have to open the app, then hit menu, then hit Devices, then hit Alarm Base Station, and then finally you can see all the sensors. The same idea can be implemented as a Ring widget as part of the app. Click on the widget, and you're there at your desired app destination. I bet 'live view' at a certain camera would be extremely popular. Or, as above, at the alarm devices menu.

        We've needed this feature for a long time. EASY implementation too. Ring Staff why don't you listen to your community?

      Can you create widgets for Android phones? The thing I have to go into the app for a lot is to snooze the system when we're out in the yard, which happens daily during the summer. Instead of opening the app and waiting for the snooze button to appear (which moves around as the app loads), just create some widgets that I can put on my home screen. "Snooze 15 mintues", "Snooze 4 hours", etc. That would be great!

        God, I want this so much too. Something I can hit quick while I'm at work in a meeting and my kids are running around the yard!

      Simple view options that can be customized. Disarm, Home, Away, Doorbell, camera, etc.
