This routinely fails to connect with my Linka Leo lock, needing restarts about half the time. It is also impossible to share an original Linka with someone else. At some point, it started REQUIRING location for no reason at all. The latest version no longer even lists all my bikes at once and it is not possible to scroll through them wothout locking or unlocking any that are in range.

Thanks for the feedback. We will look into the location requirement. For ease of use, the app will connect automatically to the selected lock. To share access, make sure you are the owner of a lock, and open the users page to invite. Please reach out to us at support@linkalock.com if you are not the owner but require us to transfer ownership.

The lock and unlock aspect of the Linka system has worked fine for me - and regularly impressed biking friends, especially when I'm done locking my bike before they even have their u-lock keys out. That being said, the app's power consumption is absolutely the worst part of the experience. I've been bugging their customer service for two years on this issue, and Android still regularly warns me about how much power the app uses. Really wish they would at least provide a setting in the app to disable all of the fancy features like location and unlock on approach since it seems like they can't get them right...

I want to like this lock, and the app, very much. Sometimes it's a great experience. However, the lock itself is disappointing because battery life is poor, and that issue is made worse by the fact that app settings regarding battery use don't stick: I can set the app to low-power mode, but after a day, or a few days, it goes back to normal mode, and I only get a week or two before the battery needs to be charged. Unfortunately, I'd say that battery inconveniences outweigh the smart benefits.
