I cancelled my subscription after a year. Too many false alerts and recording that end up draining battery, and delayed recording missing out first few seconds.
When you don't have subscription, the app doesn't allow you to select multiple local recordings to delete. You have to delete one at a time, or select "delete all".
With Blink annual subscription cost went up, I took that money and bought a few 3K PTZ cameras that take microSD cards. I even use these as dash cams. Easy to pull the clips directly from app. No subscription fees. Faster remote view of camera local footage. Has better built-in human and motion detection. To use outdoor, I got outdoor solar panels, with rechargeable battery, to provide power and shield from rain.

This works well for me, but may not for everyone.
Unlike what many comment here, the picture quality is good.
Software is so so. The recorded clip on SD is short and I could not make it record longer (Solar - limited power), but even night color pictures are nice (Though probably you miss the action due to short recording). Limited control and over-riding power on App.
App still is a lot better than, for example, Yi / YiLot (garbage), which is a total rip-off of an advertisement, but surely not as good as many more expensive name brands.
I didn't use the cloud, so I can't comment on that.
Now, the worst thing about this camera that makes it not a good choice: The solar panel is inadequate to provide the needed power, and even in sunny Cali and before winter sets in (Warm summer days that batteries love), this camera won't make it even to the end of the second week and dies due to lack of power. You have to dismount it from where it is installed (A major hassle, this being an independent solar camera for a far location), bring it in, and charge the rechargeable battery with the power supply. You can take a battery pack and recharge at the site, but that is more hassle.
In short and if you need a totally wireless camera for a far location, this is not it.
