### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-02-26, version 3.1.0*

It just doesn’t work. You have to get an employee to manually open your door every time.

### 1/5 — Infuriating

*2025-02-16, version 3.1.0*

Locked out of my hotel at 1am when the app failed for no clear reason. Restarted, reinstalled, reregistered, no luck. The on call tech support didnt even know what i was talking about when I called. What a waste of time - horrendous.

### 1/5 — Have fun getting into your apt most of the time

*2024-12-16, version 3.1.0*

This app works half the time, the other half I’m outside of my door restarting the app and then my phone just so that it can unlock my door

### 1/5 — Unreliable and Outdated

*2024-10-13, version 3.1.0*

This app severely needs to be updated. It’s extremely unreliable and often times I’m stuck at my door trying to enter. Sometimes it’ll work if I force close the apple wallet app, but not all the time. I will be using a physical key until this can be updated.

### 2/5 — Disappointing

*2024-09-06, version 3.1.0*

I have the app to use in a condo complex to open doors. 
While it works, it is not reliable. 
I may have to try 5 of 6 times with the app to try and open a door it can take a lot of time. 
Each try takes about 20 seconds to process the unlock after tapping the screen button on the app. 

It doesn’t use the Apple wallet.  You have to open the app and then click on a button and have the phone touching the lock to work.  
You may have to press several times to make it unlock a door. 
Not impressed.  

Needs to be way faster and use apple wallet and the Apple Watch.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-07-24, version 3.1.0*

The app is entirely unreliable and the company doesn’t provide tech support to users.

### 1/5 — Invasive garbage

*2024-07-13, version 3.1.0*

Accent Inn hotel chain offered this app as a quick contactless self-checkin service to their hotel property.
Alarmingly, the app insists on harvesting your PII (driver's license, credit card, etc). Hotel staff admits the app rarely works, and now my spam folder is filling up!
Oh, and to top it off, all that PII submitted never made it back to the hotel, so still had to check in, twice.
Disgraceful!

### 1/5 — locked out

*2024-07-04, version 3.1.0*

pointless app just use a normal key. i’m locked out right now due to a bug.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-06-13, version 3.1.0*

Does not work

### 1/5 — Works well

*2024-06-04, version 3.1.0*

You have to place your phone directly over the lock for it to register. It takes about 5 seconds for it to register. It would be great if the app was widget compatible..

### 1/5 — This app is terrible

*2024-05-10, version 3.1.0*

Barely functional. Why it is even used I have no idea. Operates like a teenager built it for his high school computer science class. I

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2024-04-21, version 3.1.0*

I have to go to my property manager's office every two days to have my key reset because it randomly stops working

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2024-02-21*

Unfortunately my apartment complex uses these fancy bluetooth locks so you have to have an app to open your own door. Ridiculous. Using the app will also cause Apple Pay to pop up as if you're trying to "pay" your door handle. Overall takes too long to open the door, spotty serviceability, and no way to have keys active on multiple devices. No doubt this junk is of 🐲 origin

### 1/5 — Worst app ever!

*2024-02-15, version 3.1.0*

I would give a ZERO if I can!

### 1/5 — Bad App

*2024-02-14, version 3.1.0*

Won’t recognize keys on iPhone 12 but works on Samsung.   An unnecessary burden while on  holiday.

### 2/5 — should be a widget

*2023-12-15, version 3.1.0*

the app barely works as is, there’s no widget, and it’s not available on your apple watch.

### 1/5 — Worst door opening app ever

*2026-03-22, version 3.1.1*

The app won’t open my door 2 out of 10 times when I really need it to work it won’t just work they need to fix
This otherwise I’m going to make sure the next apartment complex i go to they don’t have this dorma kana brand (worst thing ever)

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2026-02-17, version 3.1.0*

doesn’t work. had to go to the office to “fix” it like 5 times

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-01-26, version 3.1.0*

If you need a glimmer of hope that the robot overlords aren’t going to take over humanity anytime soon, then download this app.

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever

*2026-01-16, version 3.1.0*

If you don’t know how to write code, go back to farming potato. It sometimes takes ages to unlock the door. Last night, the entire app froze and I can’t get out of it. I can’t switch to any other app. I can’t even turn off my phone. They clearly don’t know what they are doing.

### 1/5 — One of the worst apps on the market. I’m great with apps but this one needs serious work.

*2025-12-15, version 3.1.0*

Garbage app

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-11-20, version 3.1.0*

This app is useless. My apartment complex uses it and I have a mobile key on my phone, but none of the ways to unlock external doors or delegate access for guests work at all. I have re-installed it multiple times and tried to get help from my property management, who can’t do anything because this system doesn’t work! I can unlock my door if I’m already inside the building, but access codes or guest key delegations just give an error.

### 1/5 — Such a disappointment

*2025-07-23, version 3.1.0*

I mean honestly… who approved the app for The Mercantile Place in Dallas? You helped me make my decision to move. One thing after another thank you

### 1/5 — How is this even released??

*2025-06-28, version 3.1.0*

App is full of bugs

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2025-06-19, version 3.1.0*

Horrible app. My apartment complex uses this system, but only a few residents actually have it working. It’s been months since I moved in, and I’ve redownloaded the app, re-registered multiple times, and sought help from my apartment complex management. I have yet to receive any key. All in all, don’t waste your time trying to get this set up.

### 1/5 — Can’t transfer key

*2025-05-14, version 3.1.0*

Can’t get help since there’s no contact info. Can’t transfer key to my new phone. What kind of an app is this???

### 5/5 — Good

*2025-02-09, version 3.1.0*

Not sure if the bad reviews are older, I just got this on my iPhone and it works great. Very reliable, doesn’t interfere with my wallet app.

### 5/5 — Apple Watch compatibility

*2021-11-28, version 3.0.3*

App works great, it would be nice to add Apple Watch feature.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-06-08, version 1.0.3*

This app works quite well.. once you have the app registered the property manager needs to issue the mobile key prior to it working or the key showing up

### 5/5 — Great app easy to use!

*2018-09-15, version 1.0.3*

5stars

### 5/5 — Great App to be used for mobile key use!

*2018-08-20*

Awesome

### 4/5 — Please add for Apple Wallet!

*2025-10-21, version 3.1.0*

The app is reliable and works well with my door system. However, it would be amazing if you could add Apple Wallet support. That way, we could access our digital keys directly by double-clicking the side button on the iPhone, just like using Apple Pay.

### 4/5 — Please add Apple Watch version. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

*2025-04-05, version 3.1.0*

Please, I can see that some reviews already call for this. Developers, please add an Apple Watch version. It’s very inconvenient without it. This would really help make life easier for people — and it would definitely change my review.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

### 4/5 — Works well but DEVELOP FOR APPLE WATCH

*2021-03-09, version 2.0.2*

Access to my building and apartment with my phone is great, but Apple Watch compatibility would add another layer of convenience

### 3/5 — Please add to Apple wallet!

*2026-06-15, version 3.1.1*

Our apartment complex just started using this and it seems to work pretty well! It’s pretty annoying to have to search for the app in my phone. I think if this were added to apple wallet I would give it 5 stars

### 3/5 — Not available on Apple Watches

*2023-09-27, version 3.1.0*

App works OK in my iPhone, but it’s frustrating that app is not available for Apple Watch. When I go for running to don’t have my phone and being able to open with my watch would be ideai.
