Pure is Right
I’m giving the ISONAS Pure Mobile app a 3-star rating. It’s a functional tool for access control, and when it works, it does what it’s supposed to—but from both a technical and a faith-based perspective, it leaves room for improvement.
As a Christian, I believe in doing things with excellence and integrity, especially when it involves safety and stewardship (Colossians 3:23). The concept of using a mobile app for secure, keyless access is great in theory—it’s efficient, convenient, and can support safety in churches, schools, or workplaces. When it works smoothly, it really does help reduce physical clutter and streamline entry.
However, in practice, Pure Mobile can be unreliable. The Bluetooth connection is often inconsistent, requiring multiple attempts to unlock doors. Sometimes it doesn’t recognize the reader at all. That unpredictability causes frustration, especially when you’re in a hurry or trying to focus on serving others well. If the app is meant to provide security and peace of mind, it should function with a higher level of reliability.
The interface is also very basic—almost too basic. It could benefit from clearer feedback, smarter automation, or more intuitive design. For something tied to secure building access, users should feel confident every time they open the app.
So, three stars. The purpose behind the app is good, and I can see its potential to support ministry, work, and everyday life. But it needs refinement. As we aim to honor God even in the tools we use, we need technology that supports—not distracts from—the peace, order, and reliability we strive for.

apple pay opens and interrupts

Sad software
I’m sure you’ve cut the devs loose already but how is there no way to copy your UID to the clipboard, phone it in.
1 for Apple Watch
Would love to see this app include Apple Watch support. I'm always wearing my Apple Watch so I wouldn't ever have to worry about being accidentally locked out because I forgot my phone. Please add this!
Works about 40% of the time
Works less than than half of the time. Desperately needs apple wallet support to replace this app.
