Another outage again today, second time this week. App suggests that the problem is on my end. Called Support, informed by the agent that I can hardly understand as always, that the system is down to try back in an hour. Ring products and support has become unacceptable.

I’m in Colorado, and there was an outage at my end this morning, as well, and I’m quite concerned as home security is only good when the system is ON. I’m new to establishing a home security system and just recently decided to go all in with the Ring system, and I’m now having second thoughts about my decision as this is the second outage in just a few days.

You are incorrect, there was an outage today. Simply because the outage doesn’t show up on the status page doesn’t mean that there wasn’t one. The support tech confirmed it and told me to check back in an hour. Unacceptable!

Mike55 -
Thanks for taking the time to alert Ring Community members of the problem. (I saw your OP yesterday, but unfortunately, didn’t have the time to respond.)
Today is now the THIRD DAY this week that I have been unable to access the Ring system on a device running the following software (which I will refer to as “Device #1"):
- iPadOS (version 14.8.1)
- Ring app (version 5.46.0)
Although I haven’t had time to fully test it, the Ring app does appear to be (at least minimally) operational on another device running the following software (which I will refer to as “Device #2”):
- iPadOS (version 15.1)
- Ring app (version 5.46.0)
Suspiciously, when I first noticed the problem on Device #1… there was no “Shopping Cart” icon near the upper right corner of the Ring App Dashboard screen. Sadly, the Shopping Cart icon did appear later in the day (and is still present).
On Device #2, the Shopping Cart icon is NOT currently present. Sadly, I suspect it may simply be a matter of time before the (obnoxious/inappropriate) Shopping Cart icon appears in the Ring app on this device. (It will obviously be even worse if the Ring app stops functioning on this device, as well.)
There was no Ring app update during the problematic time period. There may, of course, have been a (secret) firmware update.
In other words, it appears that in its (truly shamefully) relentless zeal to turn an app that controls SECURITY DEVICES into an advertising/marketing app… Ring has, yet again, placed the security of people/property at risk out of sheer corporate greed.

These are the System Status Reports from yesterday. Widespread or less than makes no difference to the end user. Down is down. At the time of this outage, both the system status tool and this community page were down. Check back in an hour is unacceptable. Your responses to this thread are not helpful.

I installed version 5.47.0 yesterday, bug is still not corrected since application build, ver 5.44.0. When viewing videos in the timeline view on an iPad, in landscape which is how I’ve always used the application, videos are zoomed in, cutting off the top and bottom portion. Squeezing the picture does not correct this. iPad iOS 15.0.2. This causes much frustration as a keypad is attached preventing use in portrait position.
