I don't find the app much different than a year or two ago. A few tweaks but not wholesale revamp.
URGENT!!! There will be new DMSS 2.0 and new cloud account mode & new cloud video streaming

Getting the hang of it
I'm mainly after push notification when a person is detected so I can easily tell if it is someone unknown, and easily playback that notification clip. Is that feasible? Last time I tried, it was a no go.

It’s good if you take time to learn it.
It’s still not what some want - 100% control over every single camera setting and feature all on one screen
It never will be.

Consider trying the Amcrest View Pro app...works with Dahua, as Amcrest is OEM'd by Dahua.

This is so basic I can't understand how people say it doesnt work?
Please show me how this is difficult?
How you setup the app and connect to the NVR/camera does matter however

Phone is on cellular, not connected to wifi. I could be in Bolivia
DMSS profile is using P2P, device us added using NVR serial number
DMSS app is not open on phone
1- Ok so I walk through an intrusion zone setup 24/7 in my driveway.
2- within about 5 seconds I get a banner notification and “ding” on my phone
(pic shown a few minutes later as I sat down to get these snapshots)
3- I click on “Open”
4- I’m taken to the DMSS app directly to the event pic and video. EST it took 3 seconds to load pic/video .
Times will depend on YOUR cell connection. So if you’re in East BFG with no bars expect it to take longer. Not the fault of the app
(iPhone makes screencaps .pngs which are large files. Sorry)

The new DMSS upgraded many things a lot..
First P2P works much faster & better.. 1-3 seconds connecting times over GSM from NVR in another country are normal...
Multi-window mode allows to see live view 10 cams at once in 2 column way or 3-4 cams in full width (1 column) way on iPhone. And You can scroll over many cams connected to many NVRs at once in one view...
In each cam there is separate view to show footage from "cloud messages" and separate view to see recorded footage from past divided by parts by any events (AI or classic ones)..
Many features was copied from Unifi Protect and/or Imou Life.. But there are many missing - maybe (I hope) they will add in future..

I ended up sending the NVR back as I could not get around the horrible UI, but that is me and I decided to move from BI to Scrypted for that reason. I need to build a system for a relative so that needs to be rock solid, even with a not as great UI. I can't tell you about the notifications on DMSS as I didn't even get there last time as it was too frustrating to deal with the UI in general.
I may give it a go again, perhaps even for myself to test.

It is great to hear DMSS has improved a fair bit, I'm considering Hikvision as well as it seems I can more easily get Hikvision kit in south america compared to Dahua which OEM for a few brands over there but they only have lower end models like older 1 and 2mp with very small sensors.
