Can you please tell me where the correct wishlist is so I can follow it my request ?
You’re in it now.

I hope they also include the ability to rotate the screen 190° as sometimes I have to charge my iphone & ipad with the cable end (upside down) sticking up. Yes I know I can charge with my them in landscape, however I can not watch the camera group (3 cameras) in landscape…which I have also been requesting landscape for couple years as my ipad pro has the attached keyboard.
All other apps I have rotate fully as I rotate my devices, Wyze is the only app that doesn’t. Please Wyze, enable 360° rotation in the next app rewrite.
Most of us can answer what Wyze would say:
“No update. (Never will be one.) But buy our new ______, it’ll change your life!”

Anyone want to bet that the Wyze app for Roku will work in landscape mode?
Imagine having to rotate the tv every time you use the wyze app on a roku tv. But for an iPad or phone… they purposefully ignore their user base.
Now, think about the level of character of the executive staff of Wyze.
They have a million subs for cloud recording, partnered with roku but say a b c d e [Mod Edit] to those of us here supporting them for the last 4-5+ years.
Their actions speak volumes.
Our actions need to be commiserate, move on. Pick a different vendor and stop supporting a company that literally doesn’t care about you after they get your money.
Change my mind.

What makes you think that Wyze is involved in this? Or even that the Wyze App will be used if they are.
Do you have something you are basing this on? If so, can you share?

I wonder if that is literal or just a general cynical feeling.
Not sure I disagree with this one:
“No update. (Never will be one.) But buy our new ______, it’ll change your life!”
The constant push for new gadgets rather than solidifying the existing ones, including the hundreds of wish list items, many of which are logical and not difficult, is discouraging to many of us who have invested $$ into Wyze products.

Not cynical, I was curious if there was some additional information which we were not aware of. At that time, we knew nothing of this, so any information and facts would help going forward.
I did verify that the products are not the same, but are similar. you will not be able to use the Wyze FW on them and vice versa. I also saw that there was a post in the water cooler thread indicating that this is a commercial partnership.

Sorry, didn’t mean you were cynical but maybe his post was more cynical than literal…

Ahhh, I agree, it probably was.

I am completely cynical. But let’s look at this realistically. Apple has app requirements. Why/how does Wyze get away with not having an app that fully works in landscape mode or split screen?
Wyze supporters have been asking for more than 4 years to use the app and cameras in landscape mode. Instead, we got a thermometer, robo vacuum, weight scale, and a few other things. (“not impressed” face)
We all know the full screen camera feed will rotate, the app will not. If Roku has a version of a Wyze camera and it works in landscape, it should get us all to virtually burn Wyze to the ground. Wyze doesn’t have a leg to stand on regarding not delivering a fully functional app.
Do they (Wyze) not have any software devs that know how to rotate an app? But Roku does? How can the exec team at Wyze
Gwendolyn use to be the mod on this thread. I believe she left the thread around 1-2 years after it got stated. Now it’s a veritable mod wasteland. Meaning, it’s rare to have an official mod frequent the thread or reply with an update.
But how many new pieces of hardware have shown up in the last 2,3,4 years? And still, the app hasn’t changed. Except we dont have free recording anymore. That changed.
I have read a few excerpts this week from other sources that reference the Wyze/Roku relationship.
all have articles on their relationship.
I have 8-10 cameras. I started to buy them for people… the last one I bought was for my daughter then I told her to throw it away since the company doesn’t support its camera user base. She did and bought a different brand.

Gwendolyn was one of the few employees on the forum up until about May of 2022 when I took the forum over. I have been in the thread from time to time, but unfortunately what Gwen has said still holds true.
The plans are to get it into version 3 of the app when that comes.

When will that be…

I think the app update will come once Wyze hires new devs . They’ve been hosting hiring events and has job openings available but no luck
Well boys and girls they are working on a half a decade

With software life cycles of <3 years being typical, it makes perfect sense to wait, doesn’t it? lol.
In some fairness to Wyze, you really can’t compare development on a Roku with a Linux-based OS to developing for iOS. Also, iOS seems to have had various issues with the viewport-orientation recognition over the years; seems like 16 even adds an issue.
That said, if I were the SA for Wyze, knowing that Apple is an important customer base to service, I would make sure I had iOS devs, either internal or external if you can’t hire them, to support the customer base. And in no world is a 4+ year dev cycle acceptable.

Not seeing any differences here on my iPad Pro with ios 16.
