Terrible mistake to trust this

App crashes no matter what update is installed. Unable to change lock codes. I’m replacing the system.

Bad Privacy, not great app, awful lock. Remember to sort reviews by RECENT not HELPFUL.

The lock eats batteries like crazy. The app is mediocre at best. The privacy policy for the app (below) is awful and not customer friendly. You know data brokers and billionaires are the REAL customers (not you!) when an app collects so much data and has app tracking. Even Schlage and Kwikset don’t track through their apps. There are many other options that are better with privacy included.

August Door locks

I highly recommend August locks. Easily installed and use. If you have any issues with the locks a quick call to technician and they walk you through troubleshooting your lock. The wait to get a technician on the line is is only a couple of minutes and you are actually talking to a person and not AI.
