Please Make Pin Creation and Apple Watch Compatibility Options

I would give you 5 stars but these are my deal breakers. My phone is constantly dying with new iPhone updates and once that happens, I’m not able to get in without support that’s not always available in time. Please have your developers create compatibility for Apple Watch to be able to UNLOCK DOORS. Or at least a 4-6 PIN option. This would really make a difference for home living standards.

Makes apartment living so much easier

I use Carson all the time and it’s become one of those apps I don’t even think about because it just works. Building access is quick and reliable, package notifications are super helpful, and it’s so much easier having maintenance requests and other building features all in one place instead of juggling emails, keys, or different systems. The app is really well designed, easy to navigate, and makes day-to-day life in my building so much more convenient. Definitely one of the best building apps I’ve used!

Unreliable Digital Key

half the times i need to unlock/lock my house door with the digital key it won’t update. i’ve uninstalled the app and reinstalled, turned bluetooth on and off, and even logged in and out. fix your app

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry this has not been working the way it should. We read every review. If you email app-support@carson.live with your building name and what you are seeing, we will look into the specifics and follow up directly. Trey, Engineering at Carson

So good

I was happy with the newer touch screen intercoms when I first moved to NYC- love just using the app rather than a key.

Then we got Carson, which seemingly does the one thing the other systems can’t and that’s handling visitors accordingly. Ppl loitering around our building when we had bmx would still just wait until somebody got fed up and let them in. With Carson, they can have a real conversation with the tech doorman who will let them in or turn them away…none of the in between guessing. As somebody who is friendly with the landlord- I can tell that matters big time

Makes getting into my building effortless - happy tenant

Use this every single day to get into my building door and elevator access is seamless, no fumbling for keys or fobs. The package alerts and service requests are a nice touch too; I actually know when something’s arrived and when things are fixed by the handyman. Been reliable for me so far.
