### 3/5 — Needs work

*2026-01-19*

While the app functions, not really helpful if you are driving and want to open gate. Since it requires multiple steps to open a gate, dangerous to do while driving. Would be nice to be able to have API to do shortcut and a real wish is Apple Watch support

### 4/5 — Watch Version

*2025-06-17*

Need watch version to earn the 5 star.

### 3/5 — Loved app until it no longer works

*2025-05-17*

Love the app and it’s abilities. However it stopped working weeks ago and there is no support for the app. I have tried multiple things to try and get it to work, but the verification code is not being sent to my phone. I have tried to find support links here but there’s nothing for actual support.

### 1/5 — Issues

*2024-10-20*

Keeps asking to grant access but doesn’t give me the option when I go to settings. Do you have a fix for that? It’s getting frustrating.

### 4/5 — Watch app

*2023-12-28*

Love the app though my apt complex doesn’t have all the doors marked or even in the sys (most likely user error). Was wondering if yall could make a watch version of this app. A couple of times I have left my phone upstairs and I’ve had to wait for ppl to come/leave the apt to get in; but my smartwatch is always on me so it would be great to be able to access this app from my watch.

### 5/5 — I love this app! Was installed in my apartment

*2023-09-20*

This has been an awesome app, only thing I wish I could do is add a user for my fiancé to have access as well to our same unit but mostly the app is great! I love how it comes through as a phone call first and then you can turn on the video and everything.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this system!!!!

*2023-02-18*

Not only does the system not function, the people behind it are clueless. I live in a building that suffered through this for over two years. It’s never worked right. When you make suggestions to the owners of the app, they don’t understand how buildings operate or how they could even do things. And they seem unwilling to listen to constructive suggestions. Maybe it’s a language barrier I don’t know, but either way this was a disaster for the condominium we live in.

**Developer response:** Thank you for providing a review. Diana informed us of your request to extend the validity of guest codes beyond 30 days. We have already analyzed this request and have determined that it is not as simple as it appears. Imagine that everybody simply created a guest code to allow access for just 1 day of the week for every week in the next 6 months. That is 25 dates we have to store in the video intercom, per resident, per guest code.

For a typical community with 200-300 residents, if everyone created a few different guest codes, the number of dates we'd need to store could easily reach hundreds of thousands, which the intercom would have to search through with each QR code scan. This will create performance problems.

In order to satisfy your requirement of extending the guest code validity range without breaking the system, we will have to implement a repeating schedule rule, for example: every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for the next 6 months. This means that we will have to make modifications to the video intercom software, the management website, and both phone apps. Our development roadmap already includes this new feature, and we anticipate its completion in about 2 to 3 months.

### 5/5 — Jasmine at the Hammocks Association

Excellent support in daily activities and in product development.

### 5/5 — Updated Review from 1 to 5

*2021-09-15*

Updated review:

The team was very responsive in addressing the issues below.
I appreciated the follow ups after they pushed the suggested updates.

Thanks

—————
There’s a latency issue and the app does not perform well with new generation iphones like iPhone 12 Pro. The interface does not fit within the container, the phone’s touch bar overlaps with the app’s menu which makes it really hard to press buttons like “create code” or “see history”. There’s also an issue with how the app behaves when fetching iphone’s privacy to allow access to push notifications. The app requires background refresh, yet even as you grant the app access it still behaves as if you didn’t, and you get a constant ribbon banner on the app’s home page asking you to grant access. It’s very bizarre and I’ve missed calls because of this. When we reached out to developers, they blamed it on “user error” instead of addressing the issue. It’s been a headache for me and the property management team at my building. Please get this fixed as I have no other choice but to use your system since it was an arbitrary decision for the board to use your comms service and I’m obliged to it in order to access my own house.
