iPad version?

When can we expect an iPad optimized version of this app? And while you’re at it, a rewrite with a refreshed UI would be in order.

Lack of customization

The app keeps asking for my camera and there is no way to turn it off. App is also slow to respond

Love it!

We use in our community and it’s fantastic. We have several useful features: the app you can give specific time access with numeric code or scan QR code, the person can also call you and you can open gate, you can open gate if you are in another car and it gives you access to view in camera who’s coming in. Oh I forgot, it can scan your face to let you in. It is a very versatile software/app. I love it!!!!

Shockingly poor

The app simply is broken and has tons of bugs

I’ve been left stuck outside my house not able to get in more times than I can count and the app is not getting fixed

Make sure you do not rely on this

Poor Service

The app doesn’t work even when you login with correct credentials.

Terrible

This software just doesn’t work after it’s set up. Utter trash

Make it make sense

Clunky app. Could be much smoother and more reliable. Also a bit creepy with the amount of phone permissions it “needs”, like nah you don’t need access to my full contact list…

Worst app in existence

Constantly offline and no way to contact them. This has to be the worst service in existence.

Works Great for Our Family

This smart intercom app is incredibly reliable and perfect for family security. Live view and visitor notifications work smoothly, and temp keys make access easy and safe. The motion detection and monitoring features give me real peace of mind, especially with kids at home. Very user-friendly and convenient to use every day.

Fast and stable

I'm giving this app a full 5-star rating! The SIP video call feature is absolutely impressive—connection is incredibly fast, with clear and smooth video, and the call quality remains highly stable. Every time a visitor rings the bell, my phone connects almost instantly with no noticeable lag. The reliability and responsiveness have exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a dependable video intercom solution!

Good User Experience with Liveview - Truly Surprised

I'm genuinely surprised by the overall experience of this access control app, especially when used in public places with the appointment feature.
The liveview function works smoothly and makes it very easy to check visitors in real time before granting access.
The whole flow feels intuitive and well designed, even for first-time users. Making and managing reservations is straightforward, and it really improves efficiency and security in shared or public environments.
Overall, this is a good user experience that clearly shows attention to real-world use cases. Highly recommended

Intercom

Call-to-Unlock Feature Is Such a Lifesaver for Me!
This app is seriously so user-friendly, and I have to rave about its call-to-unlock function—it’s become a daily lifesaver for my busy routine.
Just last week, I was buried in back-to-back work meetings at the office when my mom texted saying she’d arrived at my apartment building with homemade meals. She’d forgotten her access card, and I was stuck in a crucial discussion with no way to dash downstairs to let her in. Normally, this would’ve meant her waiting around for an hour until my meeting ended, but then I remembered this app. As soon as her intercom call popped up on my phone, the clear video interface loaded instantly—I could see her standing right by the door, waving at the camera. After a quick chat to confirm it was her, I tapped the unlock button once, and that was it. No extra steps, no lag, just smooth, instant access.
The operation is so straightforward, even someone who’s not great with tech could use it without a second thought. Remote door opening has never been this easy, and I can’t imagine going back to the old days of rushing around to let people in anymore.

So slow

The device is amazing in all that it can do but it is hampered severely by the slowness of the app. When you hear the doorbell there is a mad rush to open the app and respond before the caller gives up and walks away. The app is very slow to open and by the time you are able to respond to the caller, 90% of calls, they have usually left!
Not really effective because it’s SO slow!

Excellent SmartLock, Great User Experience

Love this gate access app! Its SmartLock is excellent—fast response, zero glitches. The interface is intuitive, delivering a great user experience. Worth every star!

Consistently Buggy

Tapping on the app when the door bell rings is supposed to display the video capture from the camera. That doesn't happen. Instead, we get a black screen. The point of the video feed is to see who's ringing the bell.

Eventually, when the video feed finally appears, the buttons to unlock the door disappear. Can't tap on anything to open the door. The result is that the person ringing the bell keeps pressing the door bell button.

The door bell keeps ringing indefinitely after the door has been opened and closed.

This has been going on for several years. Every new release of this app seems buggier and even more broken than the previous one.

Yet, we are being consistently reassured of improvements and bug fixes in every new release.

I have yet to see a bug fix or improvement.

If I could give an example of how not to write an intercom app, this app would be my first choice.

terrible app

it often decides to just not work

Efficient intercom & seamless access control app

This app has completely transformed how I manage access to my home, and I'm genuinely surprised by how well it integrates everything. The experience is incredibly user-friendly and makes daily life so much more convenient.
The live video preview feature is outstanding. Whenever someone rings the doorbell, I get an instant, clear view of who's at the door right on my phone, no matter where I am. It provides peace of mind and feels like I'm right there. Communicating through the intercom is just as smooth, with clear audio, two-way video that makes talking to visitors or family effortless.
The ability to remotely unlock the door is the feature I use most. It's secure, fast, and unbelievably handy for letting in family, friends, or delivery services with just a tap.
Overall, this app delivers an efficient and reliable Intercom experience straight to your mobile device. Highly recommended!

Extremely Efficient Access Management Solution

This app has completely transformed how I manage entry access. The unlock function is flawless, allowing me to open doors remotely with just one tap—no more waiting outside! The tempkey feature is a game-changer for granting temporary access to guests or delivery personnel. It’s incredibly convenient and secure, giving me full control over who enters and when. A must-have for modern living!

Easy use!

It’s incredibly user-friendly from start to finish, and the EasyUse design makes every function a breeze to navigate, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy.
The tempkey feature is absolute gold. I can generate time-limited access keys for guests, cleaners, or repair professionals in seconds, and they auto-expire after the set time—no more worrying about lost keys or unauthorized access. It’s secure, convenient, and saves me so much hassle of rushing home to let people in. The community message function is equally impressive: it keeps me instantly updated on neighborhood announcements, events, and important alerts. The messages are clear, well-organized, and never spammy, making it easy to stay connected with the community.
Every detail feels thoughtfully designed to prioritize usability. If you want an EasyUse access control solution that actually delivers on functionality, look no further—highly recommend!

Annoying shortcomings

App gives false confirmations (failed opening). QR code feature not supported. Temporary codes actually need # before and after 8 digit codes. None of this vital information is shared on auto generated text messages. Cannot easily set dates for temporary codes.
