*2024-11-10, version 5.75.0*

I work for the association and there have been a lot of complaints surrounding the day codes. Hopefully that will be rectified soon so that Sentrilock boxes don’t have to be such a pain for our members.

### 5/5 — A superior product

*2024-11-09*

I have been a Realtor in the Orlando area for 24 years and have used three different types of lockboxes throughout my career. In this era of technological advancement, innovation, and change within the real estate industry, it’s amazing to be introduced to the latest and greatest Sentrilock product. Technology at its best, and I love it!

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-04-17, version 5.126.0*

Sentrilock usage is unreliable and takes many steps to get it to work.  Sometimes the app needs uninstalled and reinstalled and sometimes I just have to wait.  Very unprofessional and unreliable!

### 1/5 — Fined $50 With No Notice

*2026-03-03*

1 star. During setup, the app accepted my card information and confirmed AutoPay was enabled. Later I found out the billing details were “incorrect” (their words) - yet I was never notified that anything needed to be fixed. I only learned there was a problem when I arrived to show a home and the app said my account was disabled. Then I was hit with a surprise $50 late fee and my waiver request was denied. Customer service was unhelpful and focused on policy instead of the fact that the system confirmed AutoPay and gave zero notice before disabling access. This needs basic billing alerts and a grace period before suspension.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth Option Missing in App

*2025-07-21, version 5.96.0*

Bluetooth Option Missing in App. I can’t unlock the lockbox without access to Bluetooth. The Bluetooth option for this app is missing on my phone. I was told by a rep there is a network setting needed to access that feature but they don’t know what it is. Referred me to Apple. Apple don’t know either.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-07-10, version 5.96.0*

This app is horrible.  I access boxes on a constant bases and it won’t allow you to access a lock box for the key and then release the shackle.  You have to close the app and start again.  Also when showing multiple properties, you have to close the app every time you want to access the next lock box.  Clunky and not user friendly.  Sucks we are a hostage to SentriLock because of our real estate board…. I would definitely drop sentrilock if we could.

### 1/5 — So much trouble with this Ap

*2025-07-03, version 5.96.0*

My last three open houses have taken multiple attempts to get the SentriKey Lockbox shackle to release.  It will say “releasing shackle” but it just hangs and aim waiting and waiting.  Today I made multiple attempts over 30 minutes and ended up getting a code from the listing agent.

### 1/5 — 6/16/25 update DOES NOT WORK

*2025-06-16, version 5.95.0*

This update will not communicate with the sentrilock boxes. 😡

### 1/5 — Missing basic features that leads to frustration.

*2025-04-08*

I recently received a new credit card and forgot to update my payment information while I was out of town. Understandable mistake—I expected to pay a small late fee and move on. Unfortunately, that’s not how this company operates.

In an age where I can manage my bank accounts, trade stocks, and stream Netflix all from my phone, it's baffling that I can't update my payment information through this app. Instead, I was forced to call in just to make a basic change.

When I did call, I was met with another hurdle—your system flagged my number as spam. That’s odd, considering every other call I made that day went through without issue.

This entire experience was frustrating and unnecessarily complicated. For a company that operates with minimal overhead and high profit margins, there’s no excuse not to have a simple, user-friendly feature in the app to manage billing. You shouldn’t make your customers jump through hoops to pay you. Do better.

### 1/5 — Broker

*2025-01-17, version 5.80.0*

Way more trouble than they are worth. Going to stop using them. Lockboxes won’t work. Agents can’t get in. Tired of it.

### 1/5 — Always has issues

*2024-12-06, version 5.77.0*

This app is so annoying

### 1/5 — Too many monthly payment notifications

*2024-11-04, version 5.74.0*

Even if you set up auto payments, get ready for a continuous barrage of payment notifications, pop ups and banners on the app when you open it. Even if you are enrolled in auto pay. It makes it look like you aren’t enrolled. Supra never does this. Sentri, please STOP doing this to people enrolled in autopay. You can easily fix this.

*2024-11-11*

As an agent, this app is critical to the success and secure comfort for our sellers. It makes listing access seamless and provides peace of mind to both homeowners and agents. Incredibly high quality product and incredibly easy app interface. Couldn’t ask for more!
