Best Smart Locks

I’ve tried them all. Hands down Level is the best.

Garbage state of neglect

The latest App update now messages me every day telling me my battery is depleted when it’s not, and Support has been completely useless fixing the issue they caused with firmware updates.

Notifications are non existent

I’ve used this app and the locks for 4 years now and I never seem to get notifications from it. At the bare minimum it should be telling me when the battery is low.

Great Lock

Great lock but I wish there was a way for app to show the battery percentage.

I’m not sure if it’s possible but if it is it would be so helpful so you can keep an eye on it once it gets to a lower level.

Doesn’t notify low battery

It works fine but the user doesn’t need to use the app to open the door. The problem is it doesn’t send push notifications to yur phone. So the battery dies and you wouldn’t know it. Really ridiculous.

Extreme privacy invading!

This app will annoy you with its pop-ups every time you try to do anything unless you enable it to always track your location with precision. Their privacy policy explicitly allows them to take this data and sell it to data brokers and advertising networks so your entire life can be tracked by the rest of the world.
No, thanks! Look elsewhere

Horrible

Rarely works well. Touch feature is useless. Disconnects often, in other words, useless. We have to keep a key outside our home in case we get locked out. Very expensive for not working well.

Terrible support

Heaven help you if you need any app support.

They will give you the runaround and attempt to blame you/your set up when your issue is clearly and explicitly “the app will not remove the HomeKit connection”, even when you send them video and photo evidence, and have a level bolt further away from your thread border router than your level lock pro (the issue was with the pro, I can’t recommend that model at this time).

Level is the absolute best smart lock solution if you don’t want big ugly replacement hardware like most smart locks, but my experience with this app and their support would unfortunately cause me to recommend that you consider an alternate system.

Absolutely terrible. Disgraceful stability.

This app suddenly stop connecting to my Apple home kit. And even when I followed all the instructions it failed to EVER connect. And no the app itself cannot find the lock. This is absolutely terrible advertising. I bought this lock specifically for its Apple HomeKit compatibility. It’s disgraceful for it for it ne so inept and non functional. I’m disgusted

So pleased with this

Works great! Seamless integration! Just wish it linked with Apple Watch.

Bad product

If there’s even 1 millimeter of space between your phone and the lock then the NFC unlock won’t work. Even the thinnest iPhone case will make it impossible to unlock your lock with NFC

No critical battery level notifications

No notification of critical battery level. Keypad locked the door. Locked out when arrived back home 30 minutes later.

I’ll never leave home without my keys again, making the app and keypad features useless.

Make sure you look up the number of a trusted local 24-hour emergency locksmith and carry it with you before relying on Level locks.

Started off great…

Was a great lock for years. What ever happened recently has made this lock become pointless and a pain in the butt. No response when away from home, have tried everything and did not change anything, just randomly changed. Only works locally on Bluetooth. Factory reset, moved my HomeKit closer and went through every checklist they had.

Terrible

Out of range for 70% of unlocks. Standing right by the lock. Kill run. Works.
No longer logs activity.

Pass on this

A smart lock app that doesn't give you battery percentage. Just says "healthy" instead of giving you an actual percentage. When will you be locked out of your home? It's a surprise, have fun!

Battery Dies - no warning

This was supposed to be a feature of the newer app versions. Battery goes from healthy to dead. No notification. That’s a huge issue that, based on other reviews, has gone ignored for months.

Has gotten slower with time

When new it worked great. Now I sit at my door waiting for the lock to connect to my phone for 10 -15 seconds. Sometimes longer. Closing the app then relaunching to get it to work

Avoid At All Costs

They will not stand behind their product. If you have an issue, good luck with their support. Whether it be exploded batteries that were on fire while being shipped or a lock that doesn’t work and keeps rebooting, they’ll make every excuse to not assist. Go with a company that stands behind their product.

No notification settings

No notification warning when battery is low. You have to manually open the app every time to check the battery level. Extremely inconvenient.

Continually Losing Connection

The interface is good and the setup, while not seamless, is relatively stair forward overall. The bolt itself is relatively weak in terms of torque and we had to really work to get the action on our rejuvenation hardware deadbolt smooth. A little WD40 and some work on the throw and strike plate helped. The main issue we have now is the level connect losing connectivity to the WiFi network. Not sure why as we have solid coverage throughout the house. Not sure if it’s just timing out over time but I hav to constantly unplug and replug it in to get it to reconnect. Would love to see some improvements here.
