A nice addition

I’ve been using GarageMax on my phone for a few years now. I really appreciate the addition of Apple Watch functionality.

Love the convenience!

I use this app on my phone as well as my watch and love the convenience of it. It’s simple and easy to use. I enjoy walking and quite often leave my phone behind. As I approach my driveway, I use my watch to open my garage door and walk right in. I actually appreciate the fact there’s no wifi involved as it makes me feel safer - strictly a Bluetooth connection 👍🏼
