Ratings and reviews

Need to have biometrics check before the app even loads imo. Don't like that I can see my security config before being authorized as the correct user. Couple other things: for other configurations like setting distance alerts etc has that be a setting the user can handle. Hiding some of the configs makes debugging an issue and sometimes you change it. Also have the biometric be a dual option. You can have on app open, each door unlock or both.

A little ridiculous that there is no easy to use android widget though... Too many clicks just to unlock the door... Honestly app is getting less and less reliable and maybe it's because of Samsung OS. Does not reliably auto unlock or send me notifications and I've turned off all "battery optimization" settings... Seems like things are getting worse. Now lock will lock immediately after trying to unlock with the button. 3/14/24: Still not reliable (auto-unlock especially)

Has usually worked ok. Plenty of issues, but generally found ways around them. But I made the mistake of disabling auto-unlock, and now that I want to re-enable it, the app just crashes on me. Luckily I'm an Android engineer myself. Logcat is showing a NullPointerException for attempting to call getParent() on a null object reference in the AutoUnlockWizardActivity, line 91. Probably ought to get that one fixed ASAP.
