Absolute garbage—run; dont walk!

When Nest (AKA Google) purchased Dropcam, my 3 Dropcams became useless paperweights.

The Nest app is pure crap! It has eliminated most of the functionality of my Dropcams—it constantly loses the connection to my cameras; imposed a default setting (Auto) that effectively downgraded my resolution from 1080p to 720p; and has degraded the night vision image quality to a muddy, grey, blur.

Moreover, at least the top 1/3 of the home screen is occupied by the Nest logo and the local temperature—forcing me to scroll down to view my 3rd camera. I dont need Nest to tell me about the #%!% weather! And as if I would trust any data they provide. They cant even manage their core business.

They bought a great company (Dropcam) with great products; added $100 to the price of the cameras; removed any semblance of tech support / customer service; downgraded the available bandwidth; shoved their garbage app (complete with advertising for their cloud recording plan) down our throats; and left us all to twist in the wind.

HATE NEST! HATE GOOGLE! A POX ON YOUR HOUSE!!!
