Review summary

Users praise the app’s convenience and intuitive design for mobile door access, but report recurring reliability and privacy issues. Background location prompts, crashes, slow unlocks, onboarding frustrations, and weak wearables support are the main pain points, while the mobile-badge experience remains a strong upside when the app behaves.

Pros

Feature-rich with solid performance on mobile.
Intuitive UI for opening/closing doors and managing users from iPhone.
Convenient mobile access that eliminates the need for a physical keycard.
Users can badge in quickly when arriving at work using their phone.
Useful for those who always have their phone handy for access.

Cons

Persistent privacy concerns due to background location tracking and prompts.
Frequent crashes, instability, and occasional sign-out/log-in failures.
Unreliable door unlocking with delays, prompts to move closer, or not finding a door nearby.
Onboarding and account setup problems, including password/paste issues and onboarding loops.
Limited or problematic Apple Watch support and inconsistent multi-device behavior.

2025-01-30	ar*****	I’m sorry you think you have the right to track my location 24/7 but no thank you. Ridiculous that this app thinks I need to drain my battery and give up my privacy just to use it once a month to open the door at work if I’m the first one there. How about you just let me opt in to that rather than bugging me incessantly w/ promps and error messages.
