EasyCode 2.0 4+

I just began renting a unit and was given this app as a sales perk. I entered the gate access key exactly as it was given to me but the icon to open the entrance gate has never shown up.

I was told that I should remove the symbols (*#) from the access key when I enter it in the app. However, I cannot delete the incorrect access key that was given to me. I have tried deleting the storage location so that I can add it back with the correct information. Does not delete. I have tried logging out. I have tried removing the app and reinstalling.. Still no opportunity to re-enter/correct the access information.

I cannot stress how awful I believe this app to be.

I’ve been using the app to enter my RV storage for over a year now. At first the app had a problem with location services constantly running as other reviews have mentioned, but I haven’t had a problem with it recently. At least, when I force close the app after using it I don’t continue to see location tracking running.

But really this review is about the name and something that’s really annoying and not entirely their fault: Apple has a very annoying autocorrect feature that automatically corrects words that are similar to app names you have installed. I constantly have a problem with trying to type “20” and having it autocorrected to “2.0”. After many months of this and some annoying digging into how autocorrect works I discovered the App name “feature” and realized that this app is the only app I have with “2.0” in the name. I think at this point they could remove the 2.0 from the name as the update has been out for a while… I never even used the 1.0 app.

I have used easycode in the past and had no problems with it. Started using it again recently (apparently now 2.0) and have found it creates a permanent blue banner at the top of my iPhone home screen which I don’t like. Clicking (touching) the blue banner takes me directly to the app with no searching for the icon - which could be handy for some people but is not a priority for me. The blue banner will not go away - even if I log off the app - until I power off my phone. The app also apparently tracks my phone constantly even when I selected “Allow only when in use” - apparently even after I have logged out of the app. Also seems to eat up battery life like crazy even when I’m not using the app - this is probably a result of the constant tracking. My battery only lasts about a third as long as normal when the easycode app is running. The only way I can fully shut down the app and the tracking is to power the phone off/on. Very disconcerting!
