### 3/5 — App works well but no “sign up with apple” option

*2023-02-24, version 1.4.3*

I like using the apple sign in/up option because it hides my email. However, this app doesn’t give that option, and I received numerous scam emails immediately after signing up.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t register…

*2022-01-02, version 1.0.2*

Both my husband and I tried using different cell numbers and email addresses and couldn’t get the code so we could register an account.  Returning lock.

### 1/5 — Awful product and App

*2021-07-24, version 1.0.2*

This app is as bad as the actual lock product, sadly. It’s a shame, because if it worked even half the time it would be a worthwhile purchase. The app is barely readable (it’s not in English in many places) and the UI design is just terrible. It seems so jankety that I’m afraid to install it on my phone, so I’ve put it on an old phone that’s offline. I didn’t want to risk it being a spyware / key logging app. 
Stay away from this product is my advice.

### 1/5 — Cheap Lock and Awful Instructions

*2021-07-16, version 1.0.2*

The app is awful, the printed instructions are in size 1 font. Way overpriced.

### 1/5 — It’s bad

*2021-07-05, version 1.0.2*

Can’t register a new account, all it does is fail no matter what I enter. I’m definitely returning this lock.

### 3/5 — Works after using a fail workaround

*2021-07-02, version 1.0.2*

When I first tried to register an account within the app, I kept getting a fail message when requesting the required code. However, I discovered that the problem went away if I put one space before the spelling of my email address. I also have to do that when logging into the app now. With that problem out of the way, the app works just as expected.

### 1/5 — Malfunctioning

*2021-06-30, version 1.0.2*

Literally does not work at all? What a great $30 amazon purchase

### 1/5 — This is mess!

*2021-05-20, version 1.0.2*

I feel so sorry that I didn't read the notes before I even purchased this lock!   
does not work, just get "FAIL"  when I try to register to get a sms code!    this is horrible and of course the support is in China (I guess)
come on Apple, don't like mess like this in the APP store.... VERY frustrating

### 1/5 — Major Fail

*2021-05-18, version 1.0.2*

Absolutely no support. No way to find solutions, only ‘fail’ messages. Was never able to use it so a complete waste of money.

### 1/5 — Terrible!!

*2020-12-23, version 1.0.2*

Downloaded app yesterday, registered account, registered administrator fingerprint and several user prints and lock worked well.  Went to login to app today to add my wife’s prints and couldn’t get into app.  Keeps saying “fail”.  Tried to reset password and when I request the “code” they are supposed to send to your email, the app again says “fail”.  Absolutely no support for this product and is useless without having access to the app!!!

### 1/5 — Upgrade ruined the lock

*2026-08-01, version 1.4.3*

Lock was working perfectly. Then they created a firmware update. The update doesn’t work and the lock won’t work without the update. Frustrating

### 1/5 — App

*2024-04-17, version 1.4.3*

The lock works ok but the app is terrible.  It will not allow you to add friends or send them an invite.  It just says user does not exist everytime.

### 1/5 — Bad. Very bad lock!!

*2023-08-14, version 1.4.3*

Couldn’t get it to connect with my phone through Bluetooth. 1 out of 10 tries to get it to connect and it didn’t stay connected. Fully charged after getting, but battery drained to 3% in less than a week. Had an upgrade but it wouldn’t allow the upgrade. Absolute garbage. Wouldn’t trust leaving my valuables with this lock.

### 1/5 — This is NOT dead by daylight

*2023-07-02, version 1.4.3*

Idk what kind of prank this is but this is not dbd

### 1/5 — Doesn’t register

*2023-06-26, version 1.4.3*

This app doesn’t register your fingerprint. It says “graphic failure” whenever I try. And Unfortunately, you’ve already bought the product so writing this review is pointless. It’s like the developer peaced out ✌🏾on this product or something.

### 1/5 — Useless and ripoff

*2023-04-18, version 1.4.3*

Can’t use lock without useless app that has issues connecting to lock all of the time. Privacy agreement admits to some shady activity with your info.

### 1/5 — No stars

*2023-03-28, version 1.4.3*

I can’t even give this one star! The app is useless as nipples on a breastplate! It will not register my fingerprint on app! For 2 days j can’t get it to work! First of all I shouldn’t have to have an app! The lock itself should take the fingerprint! Just like my door handle fingerprint lock! So I can unlock it with my phone but what if I lock my sheshed up & forget my phone! Because this worthless app can’t work like it is supposed to be designed, & btw, whoever designed it l, I don’t know how they got out of engineering school! Made something totally simple, totally difficult! Omg it won’t send my remarks unless I rate the thing! Ok 1

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2022-01-16, version 1.0.2*

App stopped working

### 1/5 — What a disaster!

*2022-01-15, version 1.0.2*

This is the worst and the most useless app I’ve ever used. It’s not even working! I cannot log in or reset my password or anything! Now I cannot open my gate padlock because of this app! It’s a complete disaster!

### 1/5 — Did the developers abandon this app???

*2022-01-15, version 1.0.2*

We got several of these locks and the app worked great. Then the app stop working completely. Did the developers give up and abandon this app? I guess this is why we should only buy name brands.

### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2024-05-10, version 1.4.3*

I received and set up two of these locks today, and they work exactly as described. Yes, the English could use some revision in many areas of the instructions, but I didn’t even need to read them as the set up was basic for anyone who has ever set up a fingerprint on an iPhone. So far I am happy with this purchase.

### 5/5 — Megafeis lock

*2023-09-24, version 1.4.3*

Awesome lock, works really well with fingerprint identification, my only suggestion would be to update the software so you could add the app on the Apple Watch

### 5/5 — Works perfectly!!!!

*2023-07-24, version 1.4.3*

This thing is so simple that you can’t mess it up which means that if it’s defective, that would be obvious as well. Download the app, register a new account, add device, clear any precious fingerprints, add my fingerprint, done.

### 5/5 — At first glance the lock is great quality

*2023-03-27, version 1.4.3*

The lock is great quality, the app although a much older platform works great, the app communicates well with the lock, no complaints so far.

### 5/5 — App works perfectly for me

*2021-09-12, version 1.0.2*

Haven't had any problems. Set up is straight forward. Just make sure you use an email when registering if you're not in the China.

### 4/5 — Nice product

*2023-12-15, version 1.4.3*

The rock is pretty easy to use. However, the unfortunate point is that it is not completely remotely used by the app in fact, when you go and try and use the lock and unlock it using the app, it just says to press the button on the Smart Lock to wake it up, however putting your fingerprint will unlock the lock and it will keep it connected, but I’m not sure why even have the app to unlock the app, I think they should fix it other than that it works pretty well

### 4/5 — Good, would be great if connected to Apple Watch

*2023-09-24, version 1.4.3*

This is a great lock for gym lockers, there are no combos to remember or keys to carry. The only thing is if your phone is locked in the locker, you have no backup if the fingerprint fails. It would be great if the app also works on the smart watch as an emergency backup.

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2022-01-03, version 1.0.2*

I see a lot of bad reviews here that I unfortunately didn’t read before I bought it so I got super nervous when setting it up. Seems to work OK for me so far, programmed a few fingerprints and got an account set up relatively easily using my email. Lock is of OK quality, I’d say the thickness gauge could be a little bit bigger for security but overall seems decent quality

### 4/5 — Finally got it working again.

*2021-10-28, version 1.0.2*

Ok, so I used to use OkLok, and it was pretty good, but I guess it’s no longer available, so after doing some research, I discovered that DBD+ replaced OKLok. At first, I could not get it to work, but after playing around with it, I finally got it working with my locks. I do wish they had a language selection. I received an email that I assume is a confirmation email, but it was in this language 请或小使用! So I’m yeah.

### 3/5 — Apple Watch Please

*2024-04-21, version 1.4.3*

Great lock but need Apple Watch support
