Pros and cons of Kevo app for iPhone and iPad
Kevo app good for
App crashes as soon as you select preference. Please fix problem.
Beside this bug, lock and app works A-1. Ifttt chanel would be usefull.
Im not sure why there are so many negative reviews; I dont have any of the problems these others have. It makes me wonder if they actually set it up correctly.
I love it. Not only is it useful for many reasons, its also...well, cool! Its fun to use, and every once in a while they release an update that adds new functionality!
My only gripe is that they havent given us an AppleWatch app yet...
The best lock I have multiple rental properties and these are the best thing in far as Im concerned.
Had the Kevo for about 1 month now and its been working to perfection, no complaints! In the future I would like to see an advancement in this technology to be able to lock/unlock the bottom knob as well. Im not comfortable only locking the top lock when gone for Long periods but when I need to make a short trip, I will just lock the top since my car is push to start as well...which is convenient for me to touch to get in. Also hopefully advancements will allow it to have a smaller back part so I can eventually add one to my screen door!!!
The printed documentation is not up to date with the software, so calibration and setup are done a bit differently than expected. Once calibrated correctly! It works great. Everyone in the house has their own eKey, and we have free key fob for guests that stay longer than a couple days or that dont have a smart phone.
It seemed like we could lock and unlock the door away from home and let people in and out and have a history of who came in and out. This lock and app do not do that. You have to pay $99 to regut the lock. Nope not happening when the original price was $239. So it works and my hubby doesnt have to remember an actual key. We like it a whole lot for giving family and close friends specific keys or a fob to house sit for us. I would recommend it to friend and family.
Some bad moments
Kevo app seems to be shutting of just before the phone dies. (Power consumption is way up after last update). You then have to manually restart the Kevo app every day otherwise it won't open door. Prior to iOS release 10.2.1 this never happened and I could always open the door very reliably. Is anyone else having this problem. Why is Kevo shutting down app, it says it's exiting right before phone shuts down. There is no option to auto start Kevo App when phone reboots.
The iPhone app. is terrible!!! Any time my phone is even slightly cool to the touch (it's 3C outside today, the phone was in my down-filled pocket), the app crashes and then my phone shows that the battery needs charging and shuts down. We were locked outside for half an hour today. Not impressed at all.
I have had this product (two doors) installed and in use for one year now. I highly recommend you do NOT buy it. Frustrations between installation, daily use and app issues. Very expensive and poor performance. I wish it were a better product, the idea is great but they got it wrong.
After I place my password in the app crashes. How do I get in my house now? Fix the glitch!!!
I Need to open the apps Every Time I Need to use. Not Work in background.
Its very slow to unlock and lock. The Bluetooth always looses connection and Im always restarting the app. I wouldnt recommend this product.
