### 1/5 — Notifications not being received

*2024-08-26, version 3.0.2*

Unable to receive notifications on my phone iPhone 13 for over a week now. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, same issue. It is really a pain.

### 1/5 — No notifications

*2024-08-22, version 3.0.1*

I recently installed the latest update and I’ve stopped receiving notifications of when the access codes have been used. It’s super weird cause this app was working fine over a week ago

### 1/5 — App not working

*2024-08-17, version 3.0.0*

I just installed the latest version and my notifications stopped working. It seems as if this app has not been tested properly by the developers before implementing.

### 1/5 — Huge bug

*2024-07-23, version 2.0.26*

It doesn’t allow me to generate a visitors code. It kicks me out.  I’m using iPhone 15.

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone

*2024-07-21, version 2.0.26*

The visitors feature does not work on my iPhone 14. It constantly crashed whenever I click on the visitors tab.  The other features seem to work. Support services have tried to fix the issue but unfortunately they have failed .  It is very frustrating and inconvenient as I had to find another older device to load the app in order to get it to work.

### 2/5 — Problematic

*2023-12-11, version 2.0.23*

I have just downloaded and registered a property. 
The so has no logoff button. 
The app hangs and I can’t return to the main menu.

### 2/5 — Issue

*2023-11-18, version 2.0.23*

Every time I click on “visitors” it kick me out of the app.

### 1/5 — Wish I could give no stars

*2023-11-10, version 2.0.23*

This app just never works. Ever.

### 2/5 — Bugs

*2023-03-05, version 2.0.17*

There’s seems to be a bug when using the “visitors” feature. Every time I click on the icon the app crashes. Other features of the app work. Everyone I know using this app doesn’t have the same problem

I’ve downloaded the latest version and have my phone (iPhone 12) updated to the latest version so not sure where the problem lies

### 1/5 — Cancelled access code

*2023-03-03, version 2.0.17*

The App allows cancelled estate codes to enter the estate ,frustrating .

### 1/5 — Really bad app

*2022-09-14, version 2.0.15*

Firstly, if im registered to use the app then why can’t it at least open and allow me to use it without data? And second, your touch screen portals at Bateluer complex are always offline. So even if i have an access code “offline” means I can’t enter the premises until it decides on its own to come back online….not user friendly in the slightest

### 1/5 — Unintuitive

*2022-08-10, version 2.0.14*

This app won’t work when I don’t have data that means I can’t have any access to the gates. Very bad.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Access

*2026-01-01*

Very difficult to access when traveling: causes much angst.

### 1/5 — A waste of time

*2025-10-13, version 4.0.5*

Extremely laggy. At times I cannot even get into the app, just getting constant error messages about connectivity (although my network is stable).

### 1/5 — New app is worse in every way

*2025-06-22, version 4.0.1*

I can no longer choose my visitors from a recents list. Also, my Estate sends notifications via the app, when I click on the push notification or just open the app, those messages are NOWHERE to be seen. So frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — WP number plates

*2025-06-21, version 4.0.1*

I don’t know whether it is a new app or updated app with a new yellow background but in our estate where about 550 people use it , it still cannot read a WP number plate. Pathetic. You must take out your phone in the middle of winter and scan to get in and out in the rain.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-06-17, version 4.0.1*

First time I came across an app that wants me to change time zone according to the app time zone. For it to work.

### 1/5 — Moody app

*2025-03-26, version 3.1.3*

Moody app, crushes often

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2024-11-04*

There are many functions missing from this app which is required in an estate. It is on it’s way there but still requires much more development. Currently giving our estate more trouble then joy!

### 1/5 — Application freeze

*2024-09-12, version 3.0.2*

It seems that the app freeze for a few minutes before you can issue a code. Full network.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2024-09-05, version 3.0.2*

Can’t believe my estate pays these guys. Please use literally any other estate app @ Balwin

### 1/5 — Bug

*2024-09-04, version 3.0.2*

It’s been a couple of weeks now, the app doesn’t notify you when visitors arrive or leave

Helpful for estate management and very easy to use

Love it! Makes life so much easier than the old system. I can use it wherever I am.

### 5/5 — Great.

Excellent app. User Friendly

### 5/5 — 👍🏼

*2025-02-14, version 3.1.3*

Excellent application. Works every time

### 5/5 — Best Estate App I’ve Ever Used

*2025-02-14, version 3.1.3*

User-friendliness is a huge draw for me and the My Estate Life app ticks that box 100%!
From booking visitors with seamless ease, to securing my spot on the Padel court after work. This app is phenomenal!

### 5/5 — A great app. Easy to use

*2025-01-26, version 3.1.1*

It’s a really great app that’s super easy to use. Things are pretty self explanatory and it’s got a nice look and feel to it.

### 5/5 — Best resident management app

*2025-01-24, version 3.1.1*

Simple and easy to use!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2024-08-20, version 3.0.0*

I really appreciate how quick I get notifications and also appreciate what type of notification I get. Very helpful

### 5/5 — Love the facelift!

*2021-08-05, version 2.0.7*

Hell of an improvement on the UI and functionality! But you forgot the most basic one of all... hold to copy or a "Copy to Clipboard" button for the visitor code 🙈 will definitely update to 5star review once this has been resolved! 😃

### 5/5 — Visitors

*2021-06-11, version 2.0.6*

At our estate the security uses a scanner to validate visitors. The problem is that once you have loaded your visitor, there's no easy way to share the QR code with them. The only solution I found was to take a screenshot and then share that with the visitor. Is there a way to ad a sharing option to a visitor directly from the app? It feels a bit clunky at the moment and my phone is full of unwanted screenshots
