Love ButterflyMX!

It’s so convenient. I misplaced my keys today & no longer have to go downstairs to letPeople in the building. I can see their face on my phone and also open the lobby door with my phone. The only bad thing is since my name starts with the letter a people buzz me to get access to the building. But like I said I can see them and hang up.

Handy app

It’s nice having a way to open the main gate to our complex without having to leave the house for guests. Been using for 2 months and have had no problems. Can even open the gate faster and further away than the actual key fob.

Would be good for a retirement home

Pretty good app. Only issue is the ui was clearly made for boomers. There is no reason for 5 screens that could have been consolidated into one screen with a date picker and time picker. Instead i was tricked by thinking “Full Day Access” meant literally full day access until the expiration date. Noooope it means one day access.

Aaaaaand now my apartment sitter can’t access my apartment while I’m traveling in Europe. Great job team

App is not exactly accessible to voiceover user

That’s not confused voiceover and siri The app has options to use siri but that is still not helpful. I am a voiceover user meaning that I am blind. This application needs improvement because they are many buttons that I am unable to negotiate through voiceover. It simply says, button or it wouldn’t say anything. It is frustrating.
My building recently changed to use this application to open the door but for someone, I am not considered went develop in the app just yet. Please improve and check with Accessibility. Thank you.

Apple Watch not giving notifications or allowing me to open doors

The app works just fine on my phone but I keep my phone on silent and use my watch haptics to know when I’m getting an alert. The Apple Watch app is supposed alert me and let me grant entry. The Apple Watch app doesn’t notify me when I’m getting a call. No noise, no alert, no vibration. The only thing it does is display a picture after I have let people in Using my phone. Pretty useless.

Why I think it’s 5 star

I I enjoy using less because it’s very convenient when someone’s at my gate I can open Gate with my phone and I always have my phone it’s so convenient and I love this so much for helping me so much and you get a notification when someone is at a gate so it’s easy to know when they open it

Revert to old UI

The new UI in the app to show “access” is really annoying. To have to click the notification bell and then another section instead of having it on its own tab is super frustrating esp when you are trying to check really fast if your guest was allowed access. The previous UI interface was way better and made more logical sense for users. Also, the picture that is automatically taken from the device now is cropped to a square and zoomed in instead of showing the full width of the taken shot. Not sure why there was a decision to change the UI but I don’t see any positives except to make it more confusing for no reason but just because.

Response from developer

So sorry for any inconveniences the previous update may have caused! Based on feedback we have implemented some improvements in this latest update. We have restored the visitor photos to Access and Call history. Access can be viewed through the Activity (bell icon). Hope this change helps!!

How is new activity interface faster

Updates notes claims new activity changed to the home screen bell icon to make it faster access, it was on the bottom of home screen with activity label on it, so HOW is it faster by hiding it elsewhere? Also, now all the activities don’t show the picture unless you tap on each individual activity to see. Before, it was a lot easier quickly going through the activities by looking at the pictures. So overall just an useless update, changing something that works before.

Great App

Since butterfly was introduced at my apartment complex it has made my
Life so much easier. Without having the dreadful walk to the front door, I no longer have to pause activities to let someone in. One click of a button. And boom you have a visitor! Over all I love this app and recommend it anywhere!

Super Convenient and Easy to Use!

I love this app. Anytime friends or family come over I can easily get them to the building. Also works great for deliveries. I like that I can have the security of locked surrounding doors and the ease of communication when friends and family visit!
