This app is honestly the stupidest application when it comes to neighborhood security or letting your neighbors know of truly suspicious and criminal behavior. First time I tried posting about two male javelinas aggressively attacking my dogs and I by my park. Denied. I did nothing but explain the javelina location and how they went out of their way and were being hyper aggressive. My rottie needeed stitches from the event DENIED. I reworded it thinking I had messed up (DENIED) this is a group of male javelinas that attacked the daylights out of my dogs. Until I booted one in the face with a kick they still even ran after us after. Next one attempted entry !? On video . Denied denied. Another one today very suspicious young 7 year old female trying to sell for the second day in a row a $10 single sticker ? Who does that ? Wanted to let me neighbors know. Denied denied denied. It’s a joke people post totally unrelated things and my posts are all denied don’t even bother. Waste of your time horrible app I will changing to arlo it’s so frustrating and dumb. Someone’s lost little turtle and a cat outside at night approved ?! Get real. Deleted and ring go pound sand.

We get multiple alerts to our phones at all hours about loose dogs out, or upcoming concerts even though we have filters set for crime & safety only. Last night after midnight I was woken by an alert to my phone with a neighbor’s post asking a question but the comments had been turned off so no one could even answer the question. Then tonight we someone rang our Ring doorbell but the audio feature did not work so we could not communicate. My husband ended up going around to the front door (we were in the back yard) to have a face to face interaction. The interaction with the individual did not go well & turned into a criminal trespass. The trespasser refused to leave property when asked multiple times & we ended up calling Sheriff’s department. I posted right away on Neighbors to alert the neighborhood (including still shots from the video) but post disappeared & when I called yo find out why, I was told there’s a team that monitors posts & removes them for unknown reasons. What’s the point of this App when I can’t alert neighbors about a crime that just occurred but get alerts for every loose dog & concert? Ridiculous!

From the first time I installed my Ring camera it was so-so. That was a couple years ago. However, since time has passed it appears the improvements are paying off. The equipment seems to be working well except for some delayed camera alerts, but moving forward I’m confident it will improve. The dialogue between neighbors as a result of an incident at times can be quite funny along with frustrating. Some neighbors do not learn from others misfortunes because the alerts resulting from theft, stalkers, break-ins and thieves apparently isn’t enough for everyone to simply lock their vehicles, garages, homes etc. It’s a continuous complaint that could easily be avoided if they’d simply take action by learning from the misfortune of others. Trusting souls leads to humorous reading and an overall resolve that the majority of these people are idiots. Not all, but so many neighbors are just ignorant too. But I have found this technology both helpful and informative.
