User Reviews

Gate Sentry is praised for being easy to use and for real-time guest notifications that aid gate access and HOA logistics. However, multiple reviews cite reliability issues after updates (crashes and blank screens), an outdated interface, strict name-entry limits for businesses, and poor customer support. Some users wish for richer in-app features akin to the web version. Overall, convenience and usability are offset by stability and input-limitations.
Pros
  • User-friendly / easy to use
  • Real-time guest arrival notifications
  • Easy to add guests and vendors
  • Helps manage gate access and improves HOA gatehouse productivity
  • Reliable for years / works well for gate access
Cons
  • Crashes or won’t open after updates
  • Outdated, clunky UI / experience
  • Strict naming requirements make it hard to input business/vendor names and special characters
  • Poor customer support
  • Limited functionality in the app compared with the web version

The app allows for entry of permitted, and even blocks banned, people/companies, which we greatly value. What is annoying is the ap’s inability to sync with password managers (this is happening on multiple devices with different OS) AND it also will drop passwords from the central system. You look up your userid and you might or might not be able to use it. Then its a call to the gate where some button is clicked and you’ve wasted everyone’s time.

I had to use this cruddy app to get into my neighborhood while I was driving a loaner car. It was fine until they must have done some update. Now I have to put the text size on my phone to a very low minimum to make the app appear. I tried for three days to get their rude, worthless, customer service to return my call. This company needs someone to teach their employees how to enact with customers. I wouldn’t give them one star; the way I have been ignored. The @“#% with the whole bunch.
