### 2/5 — app is awful

*2025-05-24, version 8.1*

Can’t get the app to connect at all! Why is this a selling feature when it doesn’t work

### 4/5 — Nice features, app recommended

*2025-03-11, version 8.1*

The app is key to quickly setting up new user passwords and monitoring the battery level. Missing from the app and device is the ability to set up multiple user codes (admin is the only code used). Suggest naming fingerprints to revoke them as needed, the length is quite short so get creative.

### 4/5 — Open the safe first!!!

*2025-01-25, version 8.1*

I don’t know if this will help anyone else, but I fought and fought with the app. It kept asking for the Bluetooth connection password. Once I opened the safe manually and had the lid open, then it connected over Bluetooth and I could get to all the admin functions of the safe. 

The app didn’t like my master password. I let the app use the administrator fingerprint and then reset the master password through the app (to the same thing). Then it was happy and I can get to all the admin settings.

### 2/5 — OK but needs security

*2025-01-15, version 8.1*

I like it, but I think it should have an app passcode or Face ID function to open the app.

### 3/5 — Accessing

*2024-12-13, version 8.1*

Linking to it through the app  and fingerprint issues

### 2/5 — App loses connection when not home. When someone tries to tamper with it we should get notified imme

*2024-12-06*

App loses connection when not home. When someone tries to tamper with it we should get notified immediately. HOWEVER for the people saying anyone. An open the app …if you have an iPhone you can make ANY APP including this one require face recognition!

### 2/5 — Notifications?

*2024-11-21, version 8.1*

Great safe and great app but blows my mind there is no notification if someone opens your safe- just a history of when it was opened… seems like the most obvious safety feature because if a kid gets into a safe, every second matters. I don’t want to look back at the unlock history and be like “ah yeah looks like the little guy got into it yesterday…”

### 1/5 — Safe is great, but the app presents security issues

*2024-07-22, version 8.1*

I love the safe, but am deleting the app, because there is no facial recognition or anything to get into the app and the only function is to unlock the safe and add passwords. My phone code should not be the only line of defense for keeping people out of an app that holds important items.

This app would be better if it did the following:
- Log times when the safe has been unlocked, tampered with, or settings were changed 
- Facial recognition before allowing access to the app

### 2/5 — MEH app

*2024-04-15*

Basic app.  Certainly nothing special but at least you can see battery level and open safe.  Good grief.  What I don't understand are the people complaining that you can't close the safe with the app.  LOL.  I'm not a mechanical genius or anything but think it through people. Understand that the functionality has to exist in the device for an app to be able to do something.  How many safes out there can close themselves? Seriously, I'm asking?  Programming this feature in the app would probably be easy.  Changing the innards of the safe to close I'll bet not so much and you'd probably pay double what you're paying for the safe right now.  To me the app is just extra fluff anyway.

### 1/5 — Why no password to enter the app?!

*2024-03-01, version 8.1*

The safe is fantastic and the app would be a nice feature especially since it tells you the battery percentage but it is baffling that the app doesn’t require a password to enter the unlock feature. If my daughter gets my wife or my phone and opens the app she unlock the safe by swiping right?! That is nonsense. Please add this feature to the app so I can use it

### 2/5 — Basic app

*2023-12-13, version 8.1*

Basic application for the functionality of the safe. Please add notifications when battery level is low.

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2022-09-09, version 7.2*

Awful. Go back to the drawing board. This has such great promise but even after reading the entire manual so we didn’t have the issues too many reviewers had, the app is awful.  The box is great for medium security; great to have keypad and keys on top of the fingerprint scanner (works about 75% of the time; obviously don’t rely on the app.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2022-06-29, version 7.2*

Can not do nothing with this app worthless

### 3/5 — My kid plays games on my phone

*2022-06-23, version 7.2*

Anyone with a child in their lives has probably allowed this child to play a game on their phone.

If this child was looking for another game and opened this app, then there is a possibility of opening the safe especially if they are within range of hearing the safe open.

THERE IS NO PASSWORD REQUIRED ONCE THE PHONE IS UNLOCKED. WORST CASE, MY CHILD COULD OPEN THE APP ON ACCIDENT AND HEAR THE SAFE WHEN IT OPENS. 

This app missed the most likely scenario for accidental firing of these weapons. A child is significantly more likely to open this safe than a burglar any day of the week.

Add additional access verification within the app before a child accidentally blows their face off.

Please let me know when this app is updated and I will change my rating.

### 1/5 — App Does Not Find Safe

*2026-06-03, version 8.92*

When I first set up the safe, app works, connects fine, password setup was easy. Later, the app kept asking for admin password repeatedly after entering correctly, would not connect. Now, app does not even find the safe. Please fix ASAP.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth functionality is horrible…fix this.

*2026-05-23, version 8.92*

The Bluetooth functionality of the app, it’s only real functionality, is defective. The BLE connections works for a while, then starts asking for the password, fails, then eventually disappears from the available Bluetooth list. The only way to fix, is to do a full reset of the entire system. This makes the app. “Useless”. Fix this.

### 1/5 — Won't connect to my safe

*2026-05-01, version 8.9*

It won't connect with my safe anymore which allowed me to open it from my phone.

### 1/5 — As Useful As T*ts On A Nun

*2026-02-17, version 8.1*

The fact that this app hasn’t been updated in over 3 years should tell you everything you need to know. ALL sensitive apps use facial recognition to unlock. The safe is fine, but this buggy app adds virtually NO VALUE.

### 1/5 — Faulty App

*2026-01-24, version 8.1*

Once the app connects to the safe it continuously keeps asking for the admin password even after entering it properly.  It never actually functions, just ask again and again for the password.

### 1/5 — Privacy concerns but app seems to work.

*2026-01-13, version 8.1*

Bought the safe and got the app but it auspiciously searches for every nearby device and no doubt has logged that information to transmit to the overlords in Shenzen.

### 1/5 — App won’t connect

*2026-01-04, version 8.1*

Keeps asking for connection password over and over and over …. Will not connect.

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2025-04-12, version 8.1*

Does NOT find device!

### 1/5 — Does not work with iOS 18.1.1.

*2024-12-04, version 8.1*

Deleted app 3 times, walked through setup 4 times.  Zero luck getting past password inputs.

### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible app

*2024-11-20, version 8.1*

The gun safe itself is great, no issues whatsoever. Looks great as well. But the app is just terrible. Can’t connect to the safe at all, as a matter of fact, the safe doesn’t even come up when searching for a device anymore. Came up once when I first downloaded the app, tried to pair it, the app then crashed, and when I opened it back up to try again, it’s never came back up again.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Works

*2026-04-05, version 8.1*

Never had any issues using it with my safe. Not sure what all the bad reviews are from.

### 5/5 — Pretty good

*2025-12-11, version 8.1*

I’ve had a positive experience with both the safe and the app.
I too would like notifications and access from anywhere, but I understand that it’s due to the underlying Bluetooth limitations .  Maybe Bill will release a WiFi version that can send updates in the future. In the meantime, I’m happy.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2025-10-18, version 8.1*

I saw other people talk bad on the app. I was able to login and use my safe perfectly fine, it’s definitely user error.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2025-02-16, version 8.1*

Easy to use not sure why reviews are so low. Some people cannot follow instructions the video was great and showed how to set up.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised!

*2024-09-23, version 8.1*

Set up instructions are well written.  There are also QR codes for set up.  I did see numerous complaints about app being too easy to open.   There is a “connection password switch box at bottom of settings screen.  Make sure this is checked and a passcode will be required to open the app.  Typically admin passcode but you can have a special passcode just for the app.

### 5/5 — Works as expected and as advertised

*2024-08-26, version 8.1*

Able to set key code and fingerprint locks perfectly. App works great. Intuitive. Instructions are a bonus. Can see the history in the app. 

The review about unable to lock remotely is an idiot. The open position springs the door open. There is no mechanism to close the door remotely. Need a power door, not a spring door for a remote lock. A poor review was unwarranted. They are complaining about something the unit was not designed to do.

### 5/5 — Works fine

*2022-02-23, version 7.2*

People are stupid and don’t read the instructions.  Be sure to turn off wifi on your phone before syncing via Bluetooth. This is the one tip not not mentioned in the manual.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-12-16, version 3.8*

Is good to lock your bike with your iPhone or smartphone, 💪🏽

### 5/5 — Works as Described

*2020-06-17, version 3.8*

Not sure why other users rated low and had issues. The app works just fine for me. Just follow the instructions in the manual. I didn’t have any connectivity issues either. Connected to the safe just fine and was able to set my passwords/fingerprints. Works as described right out of the box!

### 5/5 — Worked good out of box.

*2020-04-03, version 3.8*

Was able to connect without any issues.  Using iPhone 8.  Set fingerprints and passwords no problems.
