The eSmartLock watch app takes a few minutes to show up. Got it to talk to the phone app. Pressing the unlock button requires touching the lock to wake up and then it takes longer to unlock than the fingerprint. I do like having a backup if I’m showering with my phone in my locker but it seems to work fine with wet fingerprints so will probably not use watch app except emergency. Registering is not as hard as reviews indicate BUT confusing because it doesn’t allow special characters which is a requirement for most passwords. The error message should be updated if the user has an invalid character rather than a generic message that you must enter a xxx character password.All other fingerprint readers ask you to move finer around but this one won’t work if you change placement. Instead I created 3 thumbprints for high-center-low.

Works OK but takes forever to connect and I’m constantly having to re-sign back in to my account. There should be no account attached to my lock. I should just be able to use it as quick as possible. Widgets needs to be integrated or Apple home along with the watch app needing work. It just stays “connecting” forever and never unlocks the lock. So while the basic functions work quick and easy with the included cards. The actual cool technical side that makes it easy/fun to use lacks speed/compatibility/and bugs need to be worked out. Simply makes it annoying to use.

I don’t know what all these other reviews are about, either these people are insanely stupid or don’t know technology. The set up took like 3 min of my time and the lock works perfectly. Easy on and off with the touch of my thumb. Nice lock for the gym. And you can add a bunch of finger prints just in case you need the lock for a multi person use. Yea the lock itself isn’t anything I’d put on a cash safe or what not. But it’s definitely good for a gym locker or school locker or anything that you just want people to know not to go into……I would buy again and the app works fine. Yall just need to know what you’re doing even though it comes with instructions 😂

I saw a number of mixed results but so far everything is working perfectly. I’ll update this if that changes but perhaps software updates along the way have tightened up any loose spots. I think the thing to remember is this lock is battery powered and thus must work to save energy. Therefore before Bluetooth becomes active and useful you’ve got to touch the lock to wake it up. Not sure if that was some of the problems others were having or not. Thus Far I’ve unlocked it ysuccessfully with a couple different fingers and with my Apple Watch.
