Is this a student project?

1. It is 2026, still no support for Apple Wallet or Watch? Apple has opened the API. Guess they don't want to provide the feature so the apartment can confidently charge tenants $200 to replace the fob.

2. Shortcuts? The option in the settings menu is just broken.

3. No unlock history?

4. No visitor history? If someone phones me thru the intercom, the camera should be captured and I can check the history.

5. The messaging feature doesn't support sending pictures, and to send like that, I need to open a request ticket by using an embedded Safari to login to Rentcafe. Why should I use this app then...? The same applies to "Payment". The app should just redirect instead of embedding Safari.

6. No app icon change support? Each building should be required to supply an icon so it can be used.

In a summary, this app still has the mindset of 2016.

I will hopefully never live in another building that uses this app

I regularly get logged out of the app. I am just lucky my wifi reaches through my door. Amenity keys often don’t work. And to top it off it’s $250 for a physical key. Singlehandedly devalues my lease.

Key sharing is completely broken

Key sharing does not work. I’m completely unable to use key sharing to feed my friends cat when she’s gone. Most unreliable and frustrating app on my phone unfortunately.

This is the worse app ever

I’m locked outside my house right now because of this trash app I hate it!!!!

crappiest app ever

this app never works to lock or unlock doors. it is so buggy. the customer service reps will just hang up on you when you try to call and fix the problem because they don’t know what they are doing either. this app is from hell.
