    This company and its "smart" locks suck. My apartment complex forced them on us and the passcode system just straight up doesn't work, so if you close the door without your phone or if your phone is dead, enjoy sleeping outside for the night because there's no way back in til maintenance can show up! An issue that nobody with a set of metal keys has ever had, yet... Latch tried to reinvent the wheel and ended up with an unrollable square.

    I've used a lot of app-based multi-unit security systems and this one is by far the crappiest. Bluetooth is slow and will drop the unlock even if your phone doesn't move. NFC doesn't work, near far settings make the experience totally wonky. I've seriously had to physically tap the latch box to get it to register before. No widgets, no way to remove annoying firmware update icons even though it's been updated. Total L. At least for Android users.
