3/5Functional app but missing basic functionality
The app works. The latest update made it more reliable on pairing which is a net positive since pairing locks if they crashed was not fast or easy before. New version is more clear on battery life and logs open faster. The basic functionality of the app is missing an obvious option which is a baseline function that is expected from a lock app. The ability to have the locks check their state at a specific time and then in fact lock the door if it is not locked. The timed “auto-lock” option is a garbage version of this. It’s useless to have the lock close 10 minutes after opening when my kid is going to open the door, wander aimlessly outside for 11 minutes and then actuate the motor. Or my cleaning service having to unlock the door three times. All that does is waste battery. If Chamberlain can figure this out for my garage door opener, Kwikset can spend 25 hours in a sprint figuring this out and giving a scheduled lock check at a specific time.

2/5Unintuitive APP
Oh my god, can you make an app that is less intuitive than this one to unlock a deadbolt? 1st issue; when I associate the app with the lock, it fails more often then not. This forced me to go to my Bluetooth settings to delete the device and try again. Second, and More infuriating, is when I send an invite to get door access to a guest or family member. All invites force you to establish an account with this app and starts up as if the guest is installing a lock in their own home. What that means is when you open this app, you cannot find the lock invitation as an option on the Home Screen. You have to figure out how to cancel the lock setup, then you have to delete the house option that states you have no locks and find the home that was sent as an invitation. Once I figured out how to delete the default “house has no locks” option, the app works decently. Third, and finally, I needed to chose remember the login information so I didn’t have to sign in each time I wanted to use the app. Once I spent a late afternoon getting through these issues, the app works and I do not have as many issues. Last gripe, it take too long to load the app. So is you have a hand full of groceries , or you need to urgently use the bathroom, you might want to open the app before getting to the door.

1/5Absolute trash app
Good luck to anyone trying to set up their device. Was trying to set up a Halo touch lock. This app is absolute garbage - particularly when it comes to setting things up. 1) Will randomly give bluetooth connectivity errors even though phone is right next to device. The instructions to pair the device to your phone are wrong when it comes to the sequence of button pushing. 2) Updating firmware kept giving error messages until I finally just restarted the whole thing. 3) Finally got it mostly set up only to have the device itself beep and show error LED lights that made no sense. Had to delete the device from the app and start over….. 4) Finally finally have the thumbprints working and now when I try to do the simplest thing - modifying the name of the print - it just gives me a failure message most of the time for no reason. Giant waste of my time. Every other company’s smart device app I’ve used has been very intuitive and a breeze to go thru.

1/5STAY AWAY (or RETURN)
If you’re attempting to connect your Kwikset lock, or just getting ready to install it, I suggest you give this “effort” pause. These locks connect via Wi-Fi and through this app have the ability to open and close, assign access to other people, etc. This is all great in theory however, the practicality of this particular company and their locks is: the mechanized lock goes through batteries very very quickly. If the door is opened and closed via the lock, several times a day, you can expect 4 to 5 weeks of battery life. You’ll also find that once the batteries reach 30%, the motor no longer has the strength to open the lock or close the lock, so in fact, your battery time may even be less than what I mentioned. If you only open and close the lock only once per day, we average 6 to 8 weeks between battery changes. Unless you continually monitor your battery level, when you most depend on the lock, perhaps, without your keys, you might be met with the highest level of disappointment if it doesn’t work because of battery capacity. For this reason, I do not recommend this brand and unfortunately I’m stuck with it at this point and just get an ample supply of batteries through Costco. Several upgrades to the firmware over the last two years have promised “reduced battery consumption”, however, we have seen absolutely no difference…

3/5Almost there, but still needs some improvements
We use the Kwikset app to manage the lock at our rental property. For the most part, the app works well enough. We can setup codes ahead of time for guests, and even setup codes remotely when we have guests book on short notice. Those are all positives in my book. However, I do have two issues with the app. One is just how often it feels like the locking mechanism gets jammed and doesn’t unlock. We’ve messed with the deadbolt, strike plate, door frame, etc, but sometimes it just feels like the lock is unpowered and doesn’t want open. This has caused frustration with guests and resulted in negative reviews for our check in experience. The second issue I have is with configuring a date range for a guest. On a few occasions we’ve been out of town in a different time zone, but the app doesn’t account for that. For example, we were out of town a few weeks ago in EST, but the rental is in CST. So, when the guest asked for early check in, we went to adjust the date range, but because the app doesn’t take into account timezones, we were unable to adjust the date range to an earlier time because we were "ahead" of time being in EST. This also resulted in a frustrating guest experience. I do want to love this product, but it does have a few issues that I think keep it from being a 5 star product.

          "body": "The app works. The latest update made it more reliable on pairing which is a net positive since pairing locks if they crashed was not fast or easy before. New version is more clear on battery life and logs open faster. The basic functionality of the app is missing an obvious option which is a baseline function that is expected from a lock app. The ability to have the locks check their state at a specific time and then in fact lock the door if it is not locked. The timed “auto-lock” option is a garbage version of this. It’s useless to have the lock close 10 minutes after opening when my kid is going to open the door, wander aimlessly outside for 11 minutes and then actuate the motor. Or my cleaning service having to unlock the door three times. All that does is waste battery. If Chamberlain can figure this out for my garage door opener, Kwikset can spend 25 hours in a sprint figuring this out and giving a scheduled lock check at a specific time.",

          "body": "Oh my god, can you make an app that is less intuitive than this one to unlock a deadbolt? 1st issue; when I associate the app with the lock, it fails more often then not. This forced me to go to my Bluetooth settings to delete the device and try again. Second, and More infuriating, is when I send an invite to get door access to a guest or family member. All invites force you to establish an account with this app and starts up as if the guest is installing a lock in their own home. What that means is when you open this app, you cannot find the lock invitation as an option on the Home Screen. You have to figure out how to cancel the lock setup, then you have to delete the house option that states you have no locks and find the home that was sent as an invitation. Once I figured out how to delete the default “house has no locks” option, the app works decently. Third, and finally, I needed to chose remember the login information so I didn’t have to sign in each time I wanted to use the app. Once I spent a late afternoon getting through these issues, the app works and I do not have as many issues. Last gripe, it take too long to load the app. So is you have a hand full of groceries , or you need to urgently use the bathroom, you might want to open the app before getting to the door.",

          "body": "Good luck to anyone trying to set up their device. Was trying to set up a Halo touch lock. This app is absolute garbage - particularly when it comes to setting things up. 1) Will randomly give bluetooth connectivity errors even though phone is right next to device. The instructions to pair the device to your phone are wrong when it comes to the sequence of button pushing. 2) Updating firmware kept giving error messages until I finally just restarted the whole thing. 3) Finally got it mostly set up only to have the device itself beep and show error LED lights that made no sense. Had to delete the device from the app and start over….. 4) Finally finally have the thumbprints working and now when I try to do the simplest thing - modifying the name of the print - it just gives me a failure message most of the time for no reason. Giant waste of my time. Every other company’s smart device app I’ve used has been very intuitive and a breeze to go thru.",

          "body": "If you’re attempting to connect your Kwikset lock, or just getting ready to install it, I suggest you give this “effort” pause. These locks connect via Wi-Fi and through this app have the ability to open and close, assign access to other people, etc. This is all great in theory however, the practicality of this particular company and their locks is: the mechanized lock goes through batteries very very quickly. If the door is opened and closed via the lock, several times a day, you can expect 4 to 5 weeks of battery life. You’ll also find that once the batteries reach 30%, the motor no longer has the strength to open the lock or close the lock, so in fact, your battery time may even be less than what I mentioned. If you only open and close the lock only once per day, we average 6 to 8 weeks between battery changes. Unless you continually monitor your battery level, when you most depend on the lock, perhaps, without your keys, you might be met with the highest level of disappointment if it doesn’t work because of battery capacity. For this reason, I do not recommend this brand and unfortunately I’m stuck with it at this point and just get an ample supply of batteries through Costco. Several upgrades to the firmware over the last two years have promised “reduced battery consumption”, however, we have seen absolutely no difference…",

          "body": "We use the Kwikset app to manage the lock at our rental property. For the most part, the app works well enough. We can setup codes ahead of time for guests, and even setup codes remotely when we have guests book on short notice. Those are all positives in my book. However, I do have two issues with the app. One is just how often it feels like the locking mechanism gets jammed and doesn’t unlock. We’ve messed with the deadbolt, strike plate, door frame, etc, but sometimes it just feels like the lock is unpowered and doesn’t want open. This has caused frustration with guests and resulted in negative reviews for our check in experience. The second issue I have is with configuring a date range for a guest. On a few occasions we’ve been out of town in a different time zone, but the app doesn’t account for that. For example, we were out of town a few weeks ago in EST, but the rental is in CST. So, when the guest asked for early check in, we went to adjust the date range, but because the app doesn’t take into account timezones, we were unable to adjust the date range to an earlier time because we were \"ahead\" of time being in EST. This also resulted in a frustrating guest experience. I do want to love this product, but it does have a few issues that I think keep it from being a 5 star product.",
