Terrible app

Literally never works right. Terrible. It should have zero stars. My apartment complex used this app to open the security gates yet the app never actually works properly so i am stuck outside my apartment because the developers of this app aren’t capable enough to make it function properly

Never works

This app never works and I’m never able to login whether I turn off wifi or not, and even when I can login it takes forever to load and sometimes still doesn’t even open the gate.
