The app is a great way to control the gates, but adding CarPlay or watch functionality would make things so much smoother with not having to fumble for my phone every time. ### 4/5 — Great App (almost) *2023-10-12, version 2023.09.29* Would love if the app would integrate with Apple Watch and CarPlay. It’d be nice to open the app from the CarPlay screen to open our gate instead of having to pull my phone out. ### 4/5 — Useful! *2023-07-24* App works well - CarPlay compatibility would definitely elevate the experience! ### 4/5 — Good but could be great *2022-07-25, version 2021.10.05* Like the ability to open and close my gates anywhere I have cell service. Pros -can open gates with my phone -Easy to use -share with family and able to add guest access Cons -Requires monthly membership -Doesn’t show when my gates are open or closed. When I activate it the app just shows “gate 1 opening” when it’s closings. Overall good product. ### 5/5 — This ROCKs *2022-05-09, version 2021.10.05* I’ve been using the Nimbio system almost six months and don’t know how I got along without this before. I can keep track or everyone’s comings and going and I feel safe when I give out my keys! ### 4/5 — Add support *2020-09-13, version 2019.12.26* Please add support for HomeKit and Apple CarPlay. Would be nice to not have to grab phone to open the hate when driving. ### 4/5 — Great App - Needs CarPlay *2020-07-24, version 2019.12.26* This app is much more convenient than a gate code or clicker. The ability to share keys with friends and family is a great feature. I do wish it had CarPlay functionality so I can access the app on my car’s infotainment system instead of needing to use my phone. ### 5/5 — The future of gate codes *2019-08-13, version 19.5.2* This makes the standing box codes obsolete. No longer will you have to call a landline of an apartment, which is sometimes required, to trigger the resident to open the gate. All gate openings can be completely tracked and time stamped which takes security to another level. And the best part is the convenience from the user to open the gate. No log-in and password required. Which I LOVE! The future of gate code is here and it’s Nimbio. ### 5/5 — Helps me get NYT and WSJ every morning *2019-08-10, version 19.5.2* I leave instructions to toss over the gate but 50% of the time they don’t - lucky I have this great Nimbio app which is easy to use and never fails. Also helps me open gate on my nightly walks. Easier than remembering a code or taking the clicker from the car. ### 5/5 — Great app!!! *2019-08-09, version 19.5.2* Very pleased with this app/service. The layout is easy to navigate and well organized! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Always a problem *2026-06-09, version 2026.04.08* ALWAYS A PROBLEM ### 1/5 — Glitch time *2025-05-29, version 2024.08.19* Recently the app will not load for hours. Currently trying to help an employee leave a gated area. Several people are trying to reboot, delete and reinstall - nothing is working. Frozen on the app loading screen. ### 2/5 — It loads slowly *2024-04-04, version 2024.03.04* Most of the time, the stupid app takes too long to load. Have to shut it down and restart it a few times before it works. ### 3/5 — Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t *2025-03-12, version 2024.08.19* Unreliable when you need to get into your own complex when it doesn’t load. Although I do like how you can open the gate for others when you aren’t physically near the gate. Some complexs allow sharing (which is cool), some don’t. ### 3/5 — So/so *2025-01-04, version 2024.08.19* Works 75% of the time. Other than that it goes offline all the time. Might not be the app could be something regarding the device it’s opening but still causes issues since it’s a community gate. Would be really beneficial for the app to be watch compatible. ### 3/5 — Could be safer *2024-09-10, version 2024.08.19* App is easy to use but could benefit from the ability to open gates hands free. Current set up is hazardous for drivers ### 3/5 — Good App, Needs Hands-Free Functionality *2023-10-22, version 2023.09.29* I've been using the Nimbio app to open the gates to the garage at my apartment complex, and it certainly delivers on its promise of convenience. However, I have some concerns about its application while driving. In its current state, the app requires users to unlock their phones, navigate to the app, and then manually select the desired gate. This process, when done while driving, can be unsafe and even illegal in many states. Operating the app while stationary isn't always a viable solution either, as it can cause delays and result in a line of waiting cars. A hands-free solution, such as Siri integration or the ability to add Siri Shortcuts , would be immensely beneficial. It would allow drivers to activate the gate without the need to touch their phones, ensuring safety and compliance with state laws. Overall, Nimbio is a fantastic tool, but this addition would make it perfect not only in terms of convenience but also for safety. I hope the developers consider this feedback for future updates. Once it’s Nimbio becomes hands-free, I’ll be updating my review to 5-stars! ### 4/5 — Apple Watch *2026-06-23, version 2026.05.31* Create a app for Apple watch ### 4/5 — CarPlay *2025-05-04, version 2024.08.19* The app works great in the CarPlay app, when it works, which is about 50%. When pressing the Nimbio button to open the app, about 1/2 the time, will only display a white screen. Then you have to open your phone to get the app to respond. Defeats the purpose of hands free. ### 4/5 — Easy- except for CarPlay *2024-09-25, version 2024.08.19* This device has been a major game changer for us. We live on a rural property with a main gate operated on solar. Our internet connection also does not reach the gate. Nimbio has allowed us peace of mind knowing we can control access to the property from wherever we are. Had it up and running in 10 minutes. The only gripe I have is that the apps functionality in CarPlay is hit or miss. Some days I can open the gate utilizing CarPlay from the cars main screen. Other days the app can be opened on the screen, but the gate isn’t listed as an option to be opened. Minor annoyance. Still a total win for us! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reliable and convenient *2024-11-19, version 2024.08.19* Always works no matter whare I am. Very fast as well. ### 5/5 — Great system *2024-11-19, version 2024.08.19* I’ve used Nimbio over a year to manage our front gate. It is far superior to our old system that utilized ATT cell service. We don’t have any downtime or other reliability issues. If I ever have a question, customer service guys are always available ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-11-19, version 2024.08.19* Simple and reliable system with awesome customer support. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! Easy to use and saves so much time! *2024-11-05, version 2024.08.19* This app has saved me so much time when using my gate. I love being able to open my gate without having to move. Great app! ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-10-02, version 2024.08.19* This app is very easy to navigate, and easy to use. No issues ever ### 5/5 — Easy to use for my seniors residents *2024-06-27, version 2024.05.23* When I told my seniors residents about the APP they were hesitant as they thought it will be hard but once our office download the APP in their phones and showed them how easy, they loved it! The best part is that you can open the gate if you are receiving a delivery and you are at the store, you can still open the gate from anywhere. We are very pleased ! ### 5/5 — Great app with potential *2024-04-04, version 2024.03.04* Fast and easy. Hopefully they add a function that can be added to car play or just having Siri open the gate for us so we don’t have to pull our phones out while driving. ### 5/5 — Good app *2022-11-17, version 2021.10.05* This is a good app and the subscription is affordable for our HOA. It functions well and is easy to use. Any chance you could add a companion Apple Watch app? That would be even more convenient. ### 5/5 — Great product and service! *2022-07-03, version 2021.10.05* This is a great app, accompanying a great product. The App/service with Nimbio for our community gate has been super easy and everyone loves it. ### 5/5 — Awesome service! *2022-06-24, version 2021.10.05* This is an amazing service to have if you have an automatic gate. Super easy install with the help from the guys that created this product. Can’t recommend these guys enough! Thanks for coming through for us when no one else could, due to lack of internet access. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
