User Reviews

Reviews are mixed. Many users praise Xthings Home for enabling remote phone control, easy installation, and handy auto-unlock features, with positive remarks like 'works great', 'simple controls', and 'peace of mind'. However, a large portion report persistent app instability and slow performance, frequent crashes, and features not saving. Notifications often stop working, and some users cannot connect to their Ultraloq locks or manage access after updates. Accessibility and platform issues are noted (Apple Watch integration underperforms, VoiceOver problems). Customer support also receives criticism. Overall, the hardware is solid and convenient when the app works, but reliability issues dominate sentiment.
Pros
  • Remote phone control of locks is reliable when functioning.
  • Hardware is solid and easy to install.
  • The app provides simple controls and useful options.
  • Auto-unlock/zone-based unlocking is a standout feature.
  • Overall convenience and peace of mind when the app is working.
Cons
  • App is buggy and slow to load, with features not saving or crashing.
  • Notifications stop working or are unreliable.
  • Locks fail to connect to the app or respond to control; access management is broken.
  • Updates can introduce problems (connectivity/cameras) and customer support is slow/unresponsive.
  • Accessibility and platform integration issues (Watch app unreliable; VoiceOver problems).

I have used it’s up for years, but today, it did the auto-update thing, and it hasn’t worked ever since! When I launch it, the app immediately closes. I use an iphone SE on IOS 15.8.8 PLEASE FIX IT!

I have had these locks since it was the U-tec app. I finally updated the firmware because my lock was beeping. I wish I had ignored the update. After updating the firmware, my lock no longer works (keeps beeping, keypad is inoperable, won’t stay connected to wifi bridge, and is finicky with Bluetooth). The update made my lock defective. My guess is that they want to force customers to buy new locks. I wouldn’t buy it again. I will try another brand that is made to last. Update: As I guessed it, they want me to purchase a new lock and sent this message: “After reviewing your case, we found that your product is currently out of warranty, and unfortunately, we’re unable to offer a free replacement this time. Please note that the replacement to fix the problem belongs to electronic components. That said, we still want to support you the best we can. As a courtesy, we’d like to offer you 30% off (based on the MSRP) any U-tec product that is still in mass production and available on our U-tec Store and ULTRALOQ Store (US addresses only). If you’re interested, just let us know the model and color you prefer, and we’ll send you an invoice to proceed.” After googling the issue, I see this is a common issue that U-tec refuses to fix.
