The View uses the same August mobile app Android and iOS as other August devices including the August Smart Lock Pro + Connect and the August Doorbell Cam Pro. It opens to a Keychain screen that shows the name of your house. Tap the house name to open a screen with tabs for all installed August devices with the last captured still image for each video doorbell. To view a live stream, tap Watch Live to wake the doorbell up. Once awake, you'll see live video that you can view in full screen mode by turning your phone sideways. Tap the microphone button to initiate two way audio and the X button to return to the previous screen. There are four buttons at the bottom of the screen. The Camera button takes you back to the home screen, and the Activity button takes you to a screen with thumbnails for all recorded events. Tap any thumbnail to play the video or download it to your phone. There's also a Guest List button that you can use to invite other users to access the app and videos, and a Settings button that brings you to a settings screen for all installed devices. Tap the doorbell button to manage notifications, enable/disable doorbell sounds, adjust two way audio volume, change Wi Fi settings, and check the doorbell's battery status.
