Besides app, people don't like having to purchase extra $20 ('sale' price) power cable for always on 24/7 subscription recording, the way the power cable is angled out the front of the cam. Possible battery life and non-removable battery which means you can't easily swap batteries to recharge.
I don't have any Nest cams, so I'm not sure or have any experience with this, but these are a few things I read about when I was researching these new Nest products. Other things to expect is that these are cloud cams and battery powered so expect paying monthly fee for most features, FullHD only and heavily compressed video.
Edit: Since this deal is still alive, I thought I'd add on to this post.
This is true, however the charger the that it comes with is a short indoor USB cable/adapter. Google may send extra on request (according to one of their FAQ page at one point) but it is different than the current $20 33ft (10m) outdoor cable.
Battery life is most likely going to suck if there is a lot of movement, like all battery-operated motion cameras. Another thing to keep in mind is that all of these battery cameras is that they are in a sleep state and only turn on when the low powered PIR detects motion so delay in recording is a thing when running off battery, but I'm not sure how well these does compared to others.
These new generation of Nest cam battery/wired does AI person detection locally (unsure if there are any real benefit to this). It also has some local storage (unsure if previous generation has it). So if you have a temporary WiFi/internet outage, the motion footage may be saved locally and uploaded when it reconnect. The Nest cam battery can be useful even if you are hardwired as you also have backup power if you are having a power outage, recording won't be uploaded until WiFi restores of course.
