While the app does exactly what it needs to do, it is frustrating to have to go through multiple clicks to reach what you need every time you want to open a specific gate. The app needs to offer the ability to make a widget with a specific gate opening. Also needs to add usability on an Apple Watch (preferably with 1-tap access to a specific gate as well). While I understand the option to use Siri is available, it is a significant battery drain to leave Siri on, as well as a security issue. Please add an Apple Watch function! There are many instances when people have their hands full and can't access their phone (including the fact that in some cities it is illegal to have your phone in your hand while your vehicle is running and/or not parked in a designated parking spot), as such, alternative options to open a specific gate are vitally important.

I use Gatewise at an apartment building with dozens of doors and gates, but I only use about 5. However, I am forced to scroll up and down a massive list of door buttons to find those same 5 every day. A simple solution would be a “bookmark” feature. Something like, press and hold on your chosen buttons to add them to a section at the top of the list for easy access. It would be a game changer! Please add a bookmark feature (especially for users like me who cannot do the Siri commands), I am begging :)

The app seems like a good idea until you actually use it. It takes a lot longer to open doors than it would with a fob due to having to scroll, find the right door and the lag time. If you’re without your phone you’re out of luck. This is a massive inconvenience for me because many times I go to my car without my phone or I go running without my phone. It would alleviate some issues if there was a watch app that could use Bluetooth without having your watch connected to your phone.Overall this just makes things way more complicated and slower than they need to be. If there was an option for a fob with this system it would work better, or even have your phone tap the sensor instead of having to find the right door would also be better.

The amount of times I get stranded without my phone is insane and having only one way to access your home, and that be through a mobile device which can die,run out of service or just not connect, is dangerous and such an annoyanceThis app sounded like a good idea for three guys at a bar but when you actually think about it, it’s terribly inconvenient and honestly poses a safety hazard since there is no physical token, key or fob to actually get into the unit. If you don’t have your phone you’re out of luck if your phone dies you’re out of luck if it gets stolen out of luck.Sometimes it’s convenient and nice but more often than not. It’s a pain in the rear. If you’re complex has this, I recommend thinking twice.
