### 4/5 — No complaints!

*2026-07-12, version 1.3.16*

I actually think it’s great overall. The only reason I gave it 4 is because the phone scan to enter feature never worked for me. And very recently I thought I missed a few incoming notifications but then I checked and there wasn’t any record of the event in the app at all. It got transferred to my cell and I was able to give them access so no big deal, but in rare situations when I really can’t answer the app comes in clutch. Especially in the middle of a workout class!

### 2/5 — Needs to save password

*2026-07-09, version 1.3.16*

Unlike most apps, the password is not saved so when someone rings the bell, you have to manually enter your password to see who it is. By that time, the person has walked away. The developer should try living with the app someday.

### 2/5 — Always glitchy

*2026-06-18, version 1.3.16*

We utilize this at our condo building and love it when its functioning correctly, however thats not often comparatively. Every day i have to 
Physically go to the Call Box and make sure it’s connected with my cell phone for it to show the video feed. Most often times the call will come through with the video feed will not. Which of course defeats the purpose. We have acquired a few times about why these things happen and how to fix them but have  never gotten a real remedy.

### 3/5 — Needs volume adjustment and Apple Watch compatibility

*2026-06-09, version 1.3.16*

I miss almost all my calls from the intercom because I’m hard of hearing and cannot increase the volume of the chime or use flashing light mode on my iPhone.  It would also help if it was Apple Watch compatible. 

One of my neighbors also has an ADA issue because he is legally blind and there are no tactile buttons or audio dialing  on the call box.

### 3/5 — Glitchy

*2025-05-06, version 1.3.16*

Glitchy

### 2/5 — Consistently Unreliable

*2024-08-30, version 1.3.14*

Lately unimpressed.   Often phone doesn’t ring or buzzer doesn’t work.   Kind of pointless.

### 1/5 — klunky unreliable

*2024-07-05, version 1.3.14*

when it works, it’s great but more often than not it dosnt….It keeps logging me out and then I missed deliveries so I would say this is an app with great potential that’s unrealized. Hopefully they can work the bugs out but as of right now it’s not very good.

### 1/5 — Unstable app

*2024-06-16, version 1.3.14*

This app is consistently unstable. 

It crashes
It re-launches
It hangs
It loses your creds, forcing re-auth

It does at least one of these things Everytime I launch the app and use menu features.   

Plus  The alpha touch primary touch screen entry device has a poorly designed user interface. ( The primary video display and access unit used for door entry)

1. The most used function "access code" on the display is such a small on screen soft button it's difficult to push.  

2. The soft key numeric keypad is sluggish.

3. It's confusing that you have to press <ok> soft key shirt entering your code.

Why not include that instruction on screen.

Over all user interface off app and the actual very expensive door entry appliance is bad.

Also consider in the modern residential living environment package delivery is one of the most frequent entry requests.

The the concept that package delivery drivers will use QR codes is ludicrous. 

They are most airways following the instructions on some notes in their own app and can't natively display a qr code associated with a package. 

The app makes it complicated for residents to give out guest access codes without qr code. 

And residents can't choose their own access codes for guests.  They must use the randomly  generated access code.  

The system designers are woefully out ofc touch with resident needs.

### 2/5 — Won’t stay logged in

*2024-06-09, version 1.3.14*

Every time I want to open the front door of my apartment, I have to log in to the app. Do you know how annoying that is? There’s no way this was user tested

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-06-02, version 1.3.14*

Wrapper around their website, not a native app. Signs out too frequently and there’s no password autofill. Interface is slow and confusing.

### 2/5 — Inconsistent

*2023-11-21, version 1.3.13*

Often the view of the front door is blank making it impossible to identify the caller. This defeats the security function this of the system.

### 1/5 — It keeps

*2023-11-17, version 1.3.13*

Throwing me out and locking me out. And it will
Not let me see my password to be able to put it in again. IT IS A NIGHTMARE TO DEAL WITH

### 1/5 — locks me out constantly

*2023-09-19, version 1.3.13*

nothing about this app works, the virtual key is entirely broken

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-07-31, version 1.3.16*

It doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Was good

*2026-07-10, version 1.3.16*

Keep getting logged out of app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t allow you to open the door

*2026-03-03, version 1.3.16*

How do you open the door once the call is answered!

### 1/5 — Poor Service

*2026-02-23, version 1.3.16*

It very rarely shows who is at the door.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-11-01, version 1.3.16*

Alpha touch NEVER WORKS! It’s a GARBAGE system

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-09-27, version 1.3.16*

My screen has not worked in a month

### 1/5 — horrible app

*2025-02-01, version 1.3.16*

almost never works,

### 1/5 — Bad connection

*2024-08-24, version 1.3.14*

The call drops and the app will sign you out when you pick up the call.

### 1/5 — Always logged out of app - no password autofill

*2024-07-31, version 1.3.14*

1. App does not use keychain to remember passwords so you have to log in to the app every time someone rings the bell. 
2. The developers didn’t assign associated domains within the app package so you can’t use a third party password manager to easily auto fill passwords either. 
3. If you can’t type your password fast enough, the call is dropped and your visitor doesn’t get in. 
4. When your visitor rings again, if the app is still up on your phone, the call will not hand off to the app. The call will ONLY hand off to the app if the app is not already open. If the app is open, it just answers via phone and opens an audio connection to the intercom so you can’t see the video. 

This process plays out EVERY TIME a visitor rings the bell. At least until I reset my password to something I can type very quickly which creates its own security issues. 

I really wish we had evaluated the apps more carefully when selecting this product.

### 1/5 — It’s so outdated and not event smart

*2024-07-23, version 1.3.14*

I would never recommend this product, stay away and save your money

### 5/5 — Couldn’t Live Without It

*2026-07-28, version 1.3.16*

Alpha Touch does an excellent job with notifications and keeping us safe.

### 5/5 — Great system for gated community

*2026-07-22, version 1.3.16*

Wish my development in Florida had this system for after hours. Please solicit them- will gladly share the contact information.

### 5/5 — Not happy

*2025-10-05, version 1.3.16*

I am not happy with the fact that as soon as i open the door, the connection gets stopped and i can’t see what is happening at the door anymore. I must see if there is other person coming inside after the first one. I must see if the person I open the door for, gets out of the building. It is so inconvenient.

### 5/5 — Intercom

*2025-08-19, version 1.3.16*

Yes it’s a 10

### 5/5 — Phone app

*2024-09-23, version 1.3.14*

The phone app is very complicated to maneuver.. make it more user friendly

### 5/5 — Great system but needs a few tweaks

*2024-09-07*

1. The ability to import the virtual key into Apple Wallet.

2. Apple Watch support.

### 5/5 — Needs improvement

*2024-09-05, version 1.3.14*

The system has some issues that need to be improved, for example you can't turn the volume up and down in the app and it's too low so you can barely hear when someone ring. You also can't see if someone is outside unless they ring and also suddenly one day I stopped receiving direct calls from the doorbell in the app, it just rings the phone with an unknown number. I hope they can fix the issues soon because I've already had packets lost due to not ringing the doorbell or not hearing it. I see someone made a similar comment a year ago, I hope you take it more seriously by fixing it.

### 5/5 — Needs improvements

*2022-10-11, version 1.3.7*

1. The volume on bell ringer should be able to go higher or lower. Currently it’s too low. 2. The call drops when you switch from using phone to alpha touch. There should be a function to allow you to reconnect when that happens. Not user friendly. 3. Calls are no longer coming into my app instead delivery calls are coming into my home office home which I don’t have access to allow person entre. This system needs many improvements.

### 5/5 — Great door open option!

*2022-05-20, version 1.3.7*

We are enjoying being able to see visitors!
Is there anyway to simply view the lobby?

### 5/5 — AlphaTouch entry system

*2022-05-03, version 1.3.7*

Really great access control system for multi family dwellings. Customer service (Jason G) is fantastic to deal with
