Problems with access

We have the exact problem as the person who gave this App a 1 star rating. All of our staff have modern phones and have asked for the plastic card to gain access.

Temperamental

The app barely works, I awkwardly stand at the front gates of my office hovering my phone over a reader. I’m giving it two stars because it’s a good idea that just needs better investment or integration with the NFC system of most smartphones.

Does not work. Every day.
