User Reviews for ButterflyMX
Next level convenience
My building just introduced the ButterflyMX service and I was in immediate disbelief that I ever functioned in NYC apartments without it. The app allows you to create ‘virtual keys’ for preapproved visitors, so I created one for my dog walker who comes every weekday around lunchtime. Now he enters the building without having to buzz a bunch of my neighbors’ units until someone lets him in. We also have a key fob on our elevator, so when I ordered seamless I’d have to go downstairs to grab my food. But somehow ButterlyMX unlocks the elevator for the delivery guy to only get to my floor, so I no longer have to go down to the lobby to grab my deliveries. Incredible convenience! Mobile app is great too!
Helps me stay safe
I recently moved into a building that has ButterflyMX. I hadn't heard of ButterflyMX before, but I am sooooo grateful to have it. I have underlying conditions that make me more susceptible to Covid-19 and I go out of my way to avoid touching things. With ButterflyMX, I can open the door of my building using the app on my iphone. I also just discovered a way to do this via Siri. I set it up so all I have to do is say to siri "open door," and the door magically opens. I don't have to touch anything. The other thing I appreciate is that when deliveries come (I order food a lot), I can see the delivery person through the mobile app and can let them in. In my old apartment, I had to walk to the kitchen and speak into the intercom system that was on my wall. Now I can do it from my phone. It doesn't seem like a big difference, but it actually is very useful.The last thing worth mentioning is that the ButterflyMX customer service team is awesome. When I moved in, I wanted to make some small customizations. So I found the ButterflyMX phone number and just called. The customer service team walked me through all the steps to make the necessary changes. Was super easy and they were so friendly. I really like this app, especially during this crazy time we are living in.
Can’t stand it
Why do I have to have my phone near me in order to answer the doorbell? This is not progress, it makes my life harder and wastes more of my time. Interface is confusing and jumbled, both on the app as well as the intercom panel. The intercom is especially bad, it’s not intuitive and requires too much effort for any delivery person in a rush - almost every delivery I get, the person just calls my phone anyways, which is exactly what I don’t want. Also, I live with another person but the app will only “buzz” one of us depending on who the visitor selected in the intercom (in the rare instance where someone doesn’t give up and call my cell phone first). An improvement that I’d suggest is giving the option for all residents in a unit to get simultaneously buzzed when a visitor calls anyone in your unit. But honestly even that change still won’t make this thing even remotely worthwhile.Quick update, Just missed another important delivery. Changing review from 2 stars to 1. Worthless.
Good idea, not quite great...
The idea is sound. Problem is the app and connectivity. First off, you have to have your phone nearby at all times to know a call is coming through. And if your phone is on vibrate there’s a high chance you won’t notice a visitor. When it rings if your phone is locked you have to unlock it before you can open the door, which takes time. And that time matters bc there’s a delay between the doorbell being pushed and the phone ringing (not long but sometimes long enough for people to leave). It’s not compatible with any home hubs other than Brilliant. The Alexa skill only lets you open the door. It doesn’t ring when someone’s at the door. I like it but it needs a few tweaks. The first tweak should be to improve the app. Make it so that it’s easier to open the door when someone rings and have the camera pop up immediately. I think the second tweak would be to make it more compatible with home hub devices so I don’t always have to have my phone at the ready and others can open the door when a visitor rings.
Great app, so convenient!
I seriously don’t know how I lived without ButterflyMX at my old place. My new apartment has the butterflymx intercom and it’s so convenient. I love being able to open the door to my building with my phone (I use the swipe to open pretty much every time I come home) and it’s waaaay easier to let my friends in now that I don’t have to go downstairs to open the door for them. Also easier to let postmates/Uber eats drivers in and get food delivered right to my door. Plus I can actually see who’s at the door from my phone instead of just opening it when someone buzzes (dangerous) or having to go downstairs to checkSo far I havent had any issues with the he app - it was easy to set up and navigate. Works smoothly and video calls come through clear. I love that in the app I can make a virtual key (I use them for my dog walker, the key is set up to let her in every weekday while I’m at work which is super useful). My building also has a package room which is awesome because I get a notification when I receive a package and don’t have to worry about it being stolen or lost.Overall I’m sooo glad I have ButterflyMX at my building and the app works really well. No complaints here!
Serious problems... please fix them!
There is so much wrong with this app that could be fixed... I have to wonder, do any of your developers actually use it themselves? Please please please, you MUST figure out how to make it work from a locked screen so that guests can open the door without being given access to my email... text messages... basically all my private data. The whole system is a failure when the simple possibility of a guest answering the doorbell requires a potential violation of privacy... Also... how about letting the user decide when to turn on and off the entry camera!? Also, as it stands, one user on an account can’t switch to do-not-disturb without turning the other user to the same. I can’t tell you how many times I missed a delivery before we figured out our controls weren’t independent from each other. It’s a pointless function as it stands. I have had long conversations with your phone support about these things and they seem to agree with me about how serious and frustrating these problems are... they assure me it will improve... but it’s been a while. I want to like your app. Please fix it.
Terrible & unusable
I gave 1 star out of five because that was the lowest. If I could choose, 1 out of a 1000. I really, really dislike this app - it’s usability is 0. Great idea, really great. Execution - terrible.I don’t know why but we’ve missed all calls - the delivery person just quits. The sound starts, the phone locks and the slider is as easy to use as opening a can with oily fingers. It just slides all over the place. I have to go down and rescue every poor soul locked in our building. I can’t imagine an app so poorly designed for its one function. I mean a 100% failure rate, there’s no signs given by the company offering instructions. The app doesn’t need high quality video (if that’s what’s killing its startup time)This is great idea and if they executed 10% it would be almost usable. Disappointing at how companies can make such awful decisions while acting in the pretenders of looking after the customer. Or, clearly, not even knowing who the customer is.
Love this app
This app works all the time for me. I open the door for myself every day when walking up to the building, which is great because I don’t have to pull out my keys.When I’m having people over I send them a virtual key so they can let themselves in, and I receive a notification that they’ve used the key. The best part is I no longer miss deliveries while I’m at work because the video calls come straight to my smartphone allowing me to see it’s the delivery person and grant access so they can drop the packages off inside the vestibule, saving me trips to the post office to pick up stuff they can’t leave outside.
This system is terrible, it takes forever to route a call
I live in Portland OR. To open my front door, the system needs to connect to New York office, process, and route a call back to me. This process takes forever and is at the whim of “busy times” when all the other apartment building in the country are trying to do the same. Here it takes 10 to 12 “rings”on call box finally start routing the call to my phone . The callbox just makes a pretend “ring” sound, but in fact the call has not even been routed at all. By the time it gets routed, most deliveries have given up and left (average rings for a person to wait is 6, in general). Shame on this company for overselling a service and not keeping their servers up to the demand. This is very costly to the residents: besides the terrible inconvenience of basically not having a doorbell, deliveries are missed, appointments need to be rescheduled, and now our building is even blacklisted for Instacart services. Their customer support does not even answer the phone. This is misleadin advertising, unfair business practice, and basic malice to falsely pretend the phone is ringing while in reality it is not doing so at all until minutes later
Inconsistent and Difficult
This app is possibly the most frustrating development in technological history. Conceptually it’s great, but in practice, it’s a headache. The touch screen is not intuitive so deliveries and guests often give up and call me. Then, because theres no way to remotely open the door without getting called on ButterflyMX, I have to stop what I’m doing and go down to the lobby to let them in. And if it’s a package, forget it, they’ll be back on the truck by the time you get downstairs. A feature that allows you to open the front door unprompted is essential. Also, when you do get a call on ButterflyMX all your devices start lighting up like a Parade and don’t stop even if you let someone in on one of the apps. God forbid you’re in a meeting with your phone and iPad, you’ve got to go digging in your bag to make it stop. While I believe this type of technology is the future, the past systems are still superior to this dreck.
