Doesn’t work

I’ve installed this twice.

It works once. Then never again.

Could you update please?

I purchased the app and it only worked for a short time until it didn’t, I’m sick of looking at the app on my phone and watch and want to delete it and keep checking to see if it’s updated, and it’s not.

Doesn’t work for me

Macbook pro mid 2015
Mac os catalina
iPhone 11, ios 13.3
Setup finished ok, laptop part of software can see iphone and.. thats it. Can not unlock

Cash grab app

Developers dropped updates and further development of this app. At this point it needs to be pulled. Don’t waste your money as this won’t work for you.

Doesn’t work

Used to be a cool app but hasn’t worked for years since they stopped updating it. Super lame.

Don’t buy ?

Don’t buy this app if you have newer Apple devices, since it has not been updated since 4 years

Doesn’t actually work

It’s a simple idea but could install and setup.
Getting the phone and mac to connect was hard enough - which is still as they are both Apple’s - and 1 in 10 goes, Knock sees the other end and starts.
Look as if it may work then - Blam! Stuck after password entry.

Help on their site suggests fixes but nothing worked for me.

Waste of money.

No longer works

No longer works on the updated software

Lock your iPhone

Ok, how do I lock my iphone? I cant get past this screen to install. Really poor app so far.

Useful

Great application, but it could do with an update that goes with the latest iPhones UI instead of it looking outdated and not polished enough.

Great concept, bad execution

I love this idea but the app just doesn’t work most of the time.. uninstalling after many attempts to try and make it work.

When it worked .....

3 years since any updates.
This is a great little app - if it still worked.
Was free, but I’d pay the small app fee if it still worked.

Don’t Buy

Was great when it was released but it does not work with recent Mac or Watch OS, has not been updated in 3 years so don’t expect it ever will.

App does not work

App does not work. Do not buy this app....

Terrible app!

I was charged $6.47 without giving permission. The app doesn’t even open or function. This is a total scam.

Don’t buy this app

So I bought the app but I can’t use it cause it doesn’t support High Serra yet which it should!!!! What a waste of 5.99

Does not work with high sierra

This app does not work with high sierra.

No updates since 2 years

Not updated, not working since...

Video is misleading

What they don’t tell you is that you have to take your phone out of your pocket, unlock it, open the app and then knock to unlock you Mac. It’s a novelty at best and serves no real purpose. Just enter your password and don’t waste your money.

UPDATE THIS APP PLEASE

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
