HID

Works well most of the time but would appreciate the ability to name our favorite readers. We have two readers near each other and it’s hard to engage with the preferred reader in the app. Often end up unlocking the wrong door.

Great idea, terrible implementation

Never works in the first try. Last update increased battery usage to ~20%.

Awesome

Easy and quick

The worst app ever

The worst app ever. Glitchy all the time

Absolute basic functionality

Often need to refresh app to find gates. Bluetooth doesn’t work with car window closed even close to scanner. Should have integration with wallet like other key apps so it pops up automatically when within reach of sensor. Apparently only uses Bluetooth and not cell network.

Doesn’t Work As Stated

I have my location services always on but even still, I have to take my phone out and open the app which is very inconvenient. If I try just holding my phone close without opening the app, it opens Apple Wallet. There is no way to add the ID pass to Apple Wallet.

Worst app ever

Never works.

App sucks

forces device restart after failing to detect any nearby readers with no device changes between successful/failure detections, bad UX.

Temperamental trash

It’s very inconsistent with how it works. I ensure the app is force closed at the end of each shift. So I open a new instance every morning. Worked great when I first got it setup but this week has been having issues every day. I can open the first door, but not the 2nd. Force closing the app and relaunching usually works but now it’s not and I have to restart my phone every time it doesn’t want to work

Account required.. nope

Nope not interested in signing up to use an app. Uninstalled.

Broken beyond repair

The app randomly breaks and stops working. It only works when in the foreground now (permissions are ok) and a lag of 5 seconds for every scan.

Brings up cards, doesn’t work

Every time I try and open a door, my Apple wallet pops up and the door doesn’t open. I have to physically open the app each time, which is difficult if I’m carrying something.

So handy

Always works for me

Id558

Works well if the app is restarted periodically

NFC issues

App always brings up my credit card to unlock doors. They need to input a card into the Apple wallet.

Latest update broken

This app used to be OK if you allowed the app to tap without the phone being unlocked. The new update doesn’t work at all unless the app is in the foreground and the phone unlocked. It’s become useless. Please fix it!

Inconvenient

I agree with other reviewers. Switched from android to iPhone and now it wants to do Apple Pay every time I use it. With android I did not have to open the app but with iPhone the app has to be open. Just not convenient. This needs to be fixed and I can certainly revise my review then.

Generally doesn't work well

Slow to detect and give access

New Update Drains Battery

The update launched 6/29/26 is causing the app to use 24% of my battery. Please investigate and fix this issue.

No need for always on location

Should be no need for the app to always have location services on.
