## What is iLOQ?

iLOQ is the world’s first battery-free and keyless smart-locking solution. You no longer have to carry around several keys or worry what happens if one is lost or stolen. Your NFC-enabled smartphone is the only key and power source you need.

The access rights for all the places you need to access are sent to the iLOQ app. They can be quickly and easily updated as your needs change.

The app is not only a key; it also offers powerful additional functionality to optimize access and maximize your user experience. You can, for example open the main door remotely and share access with friends and family. There’s no need to wait for action, for instance, from property managers.

You can download the iLOQ app immediately. To start using it, you will need iLOQ hardware and an invitation from a locking system administrator.

The iLOQ app is an integral part of iLOQ’s new smart-locking platform. To learn more about iLOQ, please visit www.iloq.com.

### 1/5 — Conventional keys are better

*2026-08-13*

When your phone dies there is no way to come back in unless you call your landlord. 
There are times that you need to scan more than 3 times to open the lock.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-06-14*

Do not like it at all

### 1/5 — Never works

*2026-05-04*

Bad

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-01-09*

This is way better than my old key was!!

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-09-16*

Android users don’t even need to have the app open to work the lock. Apple users have to stand on one foot, ground themselves, think happy thoughts and then line up the phone to the lock just perfectly and hold the phone in place. If it isn’t successful they must restart the app. 

It works great on some iPhones.

### 5/5 — Good improvement from the previous app

*2025-07-28*

The NFC locator is cool but still needs improvement on the on screen instructions on how to tap the phone on the lock.
