### 2/5 — IOS Nr. eSim

*2026-03-19*

Tritt dauernd Fehler auf, einmal habe ich es auf die SMS Ebene geschafft, aber es kam keine und jetzt zeigt mir wieder Fehler an ?

### 2/5 — Tolle Schlösser schlechte App

*2026-03-02*

Ich habe ein iPhone Air und ein iPhone 16 Plus. Leider kann ich mit diesen Geräten die Schlösser nicht öffnen. Laut Hersteller gibt es Probleme mit dem Bluetooth Standard. Es wurde mir gesagt es wird ein Update geben. Ich warte bis heute schon seit über 4 Monaten. Schade

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible

*2026-02-14, version 4.5.0*

My building switched to dormakaba for its keys and it is absolutely horrible. The keys barely register with the doors or elevator so you have to do it many times. Why in gods name did my building switch to this sketchy system. The app is like it was made by third graders. Our lock systems are tremendously worse than before the building started using dormakaba. It was supposed to enable unlocking doors via phone, but dormakaba never sent an email to set it up. If you are an apartment building considering adopting this system, absolutely do not do so.

### 3/5 — Apple Watch fehlt

*2025-11-22*

Funktion ist gut. Ich nutze die App als notfallset für die eingangstüre zur Arbeit, falls ich mal den normalen Schlüssel vergesse. Apple Watch wäre eine wirklich super Erweiterung. Ich freu mich drauf.

### 1/5 — Apple Wach

*2025-05-05, version 4.4.0*

Wann kommt die Apple Wacht Funktion offnen und schlissen ?

### 2/5 — Funktioniert, aber kein Watch Support

*2025-01-26, version 4.4.0*

Wann kommt die Watch Unterstützung?

### 3/5 — Easy… but not when traveling overseas

*2024-12-28*

Not sure if anyone even reads this, but the app is too limited for use overseas. Airbnb hosts are sharing their digital keys through it, and it’s a fab solution, but often overseas travelers can’t receive SMS due to the limitations of mobile plans… another option for registration is needed, i.e. email or WhatsApp.

Other than that the app is very straightforward and easy to use, and makes checkin/checkout very safe.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your valuable feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the app easy to use and helpful for checking in and out. We're actively looking at ways to improve the accessibility and user experience of the app in the different regions. Stay tuned for future updates!

### 1/5 — kein Entwicklung mehr

*2024-10-11*

Digitale Schlüssel können nur einmal verwendet werden. Wenn man das Telefon wechselt, muss ein neuer digitaler Schlüssel erworben werden.

Auf dem iPhone 16 Pro funktioniert die App nur sporadisch. Erst nachdem alle Apps geschlossen und Bluetooth aus- und wieder eingeschaltet wird, funktioniert der digitale Schlüssel. Solche Probleme hatte ich mit dem iPhone 13 Pro nicht. Es ist auch eine Herausforderung, einen digitalen Schlüssel zu versenden.

Apple Wallet fehlt. letzte Aktualisierung vor 10 Monaten.

### 1/5 — Enttäuscht extrem

*2024-09-22, version 4.4.0*

Ein solider Schliesszylinder ohne Apple Watch Funktionalität ist nicht mehr zeitgemäß- alle Konkurrierenden Anbieter verfügen über Apple Watch Applikationen zum smarten öffnen der Tür.

### 2/5 — Funktioniert aber ohne Watch

*2024-07-16, version 4.4.0*

Geht nur mit Handy ohne Wallet oder Watch das nervt langsam. Wir leben in 2024!
