App is trash

Kills battery in minutes on iPhone. Horribly coded app.

Changed phones and now we have no access!

Help! We got new phones and now the app does not show our locks. We log in and it wants to add a new home. Fine. But when I try that I get an error message I have no access to our locks at all. My batteries ran out and I had no idea. This is horrible!

Cool concept but a battery hog

Using the app is pretty convenient and in concept is great especially the auto-lock/un-lock feature.

The problem is the app when using the automated features is an absolute battery drain (iPhone 17e that is only a few months old). Seeing drain of ~25% or more overnight and about ~40% daily, the app will run for hours and hours…even when home. It should have a push frequency limiter to reduce this or tie to the phone’s motion sensor to only ping when movement is detected for a set period of time.

So while you are out and your phone dies the auto-unlock no longer matters since your dead phone won’t unlock your door.

Love the app, but the product…

The app is great, very helpful but the product sucks up so much battery power - it doesn’t stay energized for more than 6 weeks with moderate us!!

All Good

The directions were great, the lock is great, I have zero complaints
