Varias llaves en la app

Pertenezco al grupo de reparación de 16 edificios en el dowtown de Miami lo cual necesito que esta app me deje agregar varias llaves electrónicas a la misma aplicación ya que la mayoría de los edificios en los que trabajo utilizan este sistema de clik para abrir las puertas mi recomendación es que actualicen la versión de la app para poder agregar varias llaves en esta muchas gracias

It takes 5 m to open the door!

You need to close all background apps for it to work!

Response from developer

Hi zivrad, we're sorry to hear the app hasn’t been working reliably for you. This definitely isn’t the experience we want anyone to have. We’d really like to investigate what’s causing this on your device as you obviously shouldn't need to close other apps. Please contact our Technical Support team so we can investigate and resolve the issue. You can contact them by phone, email, or webchat here: https://www.paxton-access.com/contact-us/

Reverted back to card

April 2026, I have just reverted back to using a card as the app is totally unfit for purpose. Weirdly, my review (1 star consistently, with regular updates over a number of years, giving reasons why) has disappeared. Avoid this app and platform: it is unreliable at best.

Hi gfc123, thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are genuinely sorry to hear that the app hasn’t been reliable for you. That’s not the standard we aim for, and completely understand your frustration. We’re also concerned to hear that your previous reviews may have disappeared; we don’t have any ability to remove or alter customer reviews, but we absolutely take your feedback seriously. We'd like to understand exactly what is happening for you. Please contact our Technical Support team so we can investigate and resolve the issue. You can contact them by phone, email, or webchat here: https://www.paxton-access.com/contact-us/

Barely works

This app is terrible. It never works when you need it to. Have to close and re open several times to work.

Hi Coopereichelt, we're sorry to hear the app hasn’t been working reliably for you. This definitely isn’t the experience we want anyone to have. Closing and reopening shouldn’t be necessary, so we’d really like to investigate what’s causing this on your device. Issues like this are often related to background permissions. Please contact our Technical Support team so we can investigate and resolve the issue. You can contact them by phone, email, or webchat here: https://www.paxton-access.com/contact-us/

Nuisance

The idea of making someone hold a phone (which costs over $1,000) out of a car window, just to access your place of living is ridiculous. Then having to make physical contact multiple times, just to get it to read, is infuriating. Can’t even see your personal gate code in the app. May be one of the worst implementations I’ve come across, and I lived through windows Vista.
