About this app

Focal Point Freedom is a mobile access application for Focal Point access control systems. The mobile platform is easy to install and use and allows customers to remotely manage their systems. From the application, customers can monitor system activity and filter it by type for easier viewing. You can issue commands to all system devices to lock/unlock doors, grant access and open/close output points for turning on lights, etc. The ability to de-activate and re-activate cardholders, as well as system operators is also included. Any predefined alarm activity will be displayed and the customer can acknowledge any alarms. This mobile application gives you the freedom to control your facility from anywhere with a mobile data network or Wi-Fi connection. The download is free but the Focal Point access control system must be registered to support this application.

Ratings and reviews

Stops working all the time, so you can't even use your gates and get back to park near your home. App hasn't been updated in over a year so obviously a horrid SDLC process with this company. Having to use an identifier, username, and password makes no sense... Even if you're logged out after an error, your registered property or identifier should be tracked. If they had any decent software engineers then they'd be able to track the root cause and get it resolved.

Do you like to gamble? If so, this app is for you, because you'll be gambling if you can open your gate or door each time you use it. I'd say about 30% of the time it works, otherwise it will get hung up logging in or displaying the property's access points. I can't even customize the access points listed despite it claiming you can. It's amazing something so bad can exist in 2024, but here we are.

This is the gate access app equivalent to someone fumbling their keys and getting murdered in a horror flick. I actually have to get out of my car to manually enter the gate code more than this app actually works. It's constantly stuck in "Loading." I wonder how long it took the developers to load the single braincell they used to come up with such a garbage app. Absolute trash.
