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.

Sometimes it takes too much time to unlock: when you coming home the device usually changing connection from mobile data to WiFi, and Latch will completely stuck because of that. NFC and background unlock would be really nice, but it works 1 out of 10 times. I really like idea of unlocking door with my phone, but it just doesn't work as expected and creates very stressful experience. No app for watch as well.

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.
