### 1/5 — Not Secure

*2022-10-06*

The backside of programming the locks and who in the staff has access to passwords leaves this app highly vulnerable. I wouldn’t trust them or the lock company, Onity. Onity was the lock company that had their locks hacked on YouTube.

### 1/5 — Really useless app

*2022-01-29*

Use it to get into our apartment, decides to auto close all the time meaning it doesn’t allow me access rendering this app useless. Fix it

### 2/5 — Was working now crashes

*2022-01-06*

When I first used this a couple of months ago it worked well. Now it crashes on opening. No amount of rebooting will allow it to work

### 1/5 — Huh?

*2021-12-27*

Requires location to be enabled in order to work but no way to enable it for the app. Basically rendering it useless.

### 5/5 — Eficiente

*2019-01-10*

Sin problema al usarla, te dice desde q elevador e incluso puedes poner q te visualice el numero de habitación 🤩
