Notifications and history now broken

The latest updates have broken notifications and the history log for the keypad. I used to get notifications if someone opened the door using the keypad which included the name of who opened it. It also showed in my history log. Now, I see notifications and history when the door is locked with one-touch, but nothing for when the door is opened using the keypad.

Sucks

This company has expensive stuff and it only works for a year then breaks. I’ve had a couple locks and they all broke right after the 1 year mark. Get Schlage it last forever.

Widgets

They had widgets and removed them, please put them back on.

No widgets for iOS!

Why did you refuse to update the iOS widgets for the Home Screen? It made it so much easier to lock/unlock doors, now I have to open the app each time to perform an action and it’s very slow. Every other major smart home provider has widgets except for August and this is the app where I need them most. Will never buy another August product because the tech support is terrible

Extremely crashy

If your battery is low, it tells you and then whatever you click the app just crashes. Has been that way for months.
