There's no way to pause app, say if you have workmen at your house, you have to turn off all notifications. It doesn't work with my Google Doorbell so I am only getting 50% value from my subscription. The app is slow and clunky and hasn't had a significant overhaul for years. We'll buy this company and "abandon" their software. The notifications arrive after the thieves have left with your packages. Once again Google going with a half arsed piecemeal approach to retail hardware and services.
