### 5/5 — A must-have!

*2026-08-06, version 7.1.1*

If you live in an apt building with a buzz-in system, this is a must have. I wish I’d known about it years earlier but for the few years that we did have it, it made SUCH a difference. Being able to unlock the entry door in advance and setting codes for friends to enter was super convenient and easy. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Great features

*2026-07-06, version 7.1.1*

Useful for apartment living with callbox!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t use apple payments

*2025-11-21, version 5.3.2*

Can’t easily get a refund since they don’t use apples built in payment system.

### 1/5 — Poor customer service

*2025-09-12, version 5.3.2*

When you get debited $200 CAD, they will never respond to you anymore, no matter how hard you try.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work. Wasted more than $100

*2025-06-23, version 5.3.2*

Stupid app can’t debounce numbers correctly. It thinks “1” is “11” and “9237” is “9922” so none of the codes work and I miss my deliveries. So frustrating!

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2025-05-11, version 5.3.2*

Don’t us this app. They force you to sign up using a credit card, just to try their service (which I didn’t even get to), and then they will charge you for one year subscription ($200), without any notification. I’m trying to get my money back, but they don’t even respond. Please save yourself and use another competitor who don’t hate their customers.

### 1/5 — garbage

*2024-11-20, version 5.3.2*

won't let me cancel my  subscription. keep charging on my credit card

### 5/5 — Low Key has been a game-changer for my condo living!

*2024-10-24*

I’ve used it for over a year to buzz in guests and receive packages without any hassle. It’s also perfect for get-togethers, making entry management simple and efficient. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to streamline their condo or apartment living

### 1/5 — This app bypasses Apple’s in-app subscription requirement

*2024-09-24, version 5.3.2*

This application uses Stripe as an external billing subscription, and is not integrated with iOS.

This means that you can’t manage the subscription through your phone and have to visit external billing sites to update or cancel your subscription.

### 1/5 — TOTAL SCAMMERS!

*2024-09-14*

These lo-sers attempt to charge me $150 for an annual membership the day BEFORE my trial expires, and were unsuccessful thankfully. So I go into the app to cancel the trial, which I did. Two days later they charge me AGAIN! I will be contacting Chase and disputing these charges. Can’t stand companies like this. Let people decide if they want your useless membership or not, rather than forcing people into one and charging them without permission!!!!
