Ratings and reviews

As of a recent update this has become complete garbage. It now takes more than twice as long to unlock (assuming it can even succeed on the first attempt), no longer remembers what screen you prefer to open to (it used to remember to open to My Spaces so you could start the lengthy unlock process before reaching the door), and the UI constantly stops responding with no indication of what it's doing (maybe trying to load something?). It's gone from a minor annoyance to barely usable.

The entire fundamental concept of a "smart" lock system dependent on a Bluetooth device is anything but smart. Phones are notoriously easy to break, lose, or have stolen. Additionally this is less convenient than a traditional key or keyfob. And I either have to regularly toggle on and off Bluetooth or have it eat up battery. I was forced to use this and I do not want it. That you demand a rating is also extremely infuriating. Would give Zero stars if I could.

Forced to use this app at a new apartment. It's just another example of tech bros trying to "fix" something that wasn't broken to begin with, only to make it much much worse. I'm calling it now, there will be a class action lawsuit towards this company when people aren't able to access their homes fast enough in an emergency due to the constant connection issues or when the device's battery is too low to unlock the door.
