Battery sucker! ~20% of battery in the background

Features wise it is okay but consumes a lot of battery and sometimes its lock functionality doesn’t work. It keeps spinning!
I have enabled auto lock when I am away from home feature and it is running almost all day in the background which doesn’t make sense. Mostly this is what causing the battery drain!

Also it has used 10gb of data in the background which is suspicious!

Please fix.

Best app for easy use

Love this app! We feel safe and secure from afar. Can add codes easily, see if the door is open and lock from wherever. It’s the best

Sudden Battery Drain

Latest version of the app has introduced significant battery drain through background processes. Please look into this

Waste of money

Not worth $200 for you to only be able to Bluetooth standing in front of it. I cannot even unlock the door from my bed for my children when approaching the front door, can't unlock the door from the car if it's raining because of the range. The range says one thing, but you literally have to be standing in front of it. I'm returning it this morning once I have someone home to uninstall and can sit and watch my house so I can make the run.
