Never updates

Stupid app says that I need to download the update and that it will not work without the update. When I click update now, all it does is bring you to the version I have already downloaded. So I delete app and download again. Guess what happens, the same frickin thing. It’s an infinite loop of incompetence.

It works!

No problems getting into hotel room that sent me the key

Response from developer

Hi C Hansson, Thank you so much for your feedback! We always love hearing from our users and look forward to your next stay at an OpenKey hotel. Warmly, the Openkey Team.

Neat app

It what if you just want to run to the pool, car, etc. without your phone? You have to have your phone to get into the room.

Excellent idea!

We’ll try to use the SCH hotels and open key anytime we travel!

When it works, it’s great

Used it for two stays at a hotel and both times issues arose. Once the app stopped responding the hotel staff could not reissue a new key to me. The second stay, the app updated and failed to work and again, the staff couldn’t reissue me a key. I couldn’t rely on it to get me into my room and/or other locations in the hotel. Hoping it improves and I’ll try it again on my next visit.

Hello mwibbs, Thank you so much for your feedback. We would like to isolate the cause of the issues you experienced to ensure we correct them for future stays. Would you be willing to give us a bit more detail about your stay? If so, please email me at product@openkey.co with the name of the hotel in which you stayed, dates of stay, and phone number used for mobile key. I look forward to speaking with you and working towards a better user experience. Warmly, OpenKey Team

Total awesomeness!

First time using app, so fast and convenient.

Not worth it

They do not have a tech support. I called a lady and she was smart with me saying it sounds like I have an issue and was very unprofessional. My card kept disabling and would check me out of the app

Good idea, bad execution

Hate carrying extra cards. Adds bulk. But this app is slow to work or doesn’t work at allwhen trying to unlock any room. If it worked seamlessly like apple pay, no problem. But it works half the time, and even during that half, it is VERY delayed.

Add Apple Watch app feature

It would be even better if you could add an Apple Watch app so users could use their watch to open their hotel door.

Hi Angie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad you enjoyed using our app! Apple Watch is on the roadmap - stay tuned! Sincerely, OpenKey Support
