User Reviews for Kevo

Last update ruined it

The last update ruined the functionality of the lock. It now locks and unlocks at will. It takes forever for the lock to work and it sounds like a grinding machine (seriously like a key being made in the grinder). I wish I could submit an audio. To top it off, my lock started flashing red and orange (new batteries were installed 3 weeks ago). Obviously this killed all functionality of the unit. I had to remove and reinstall software to get the flashing and functionality back. Now if I could get it to work like it did before the last update, I might consider keeping it.Mechanical warranty is only 1 year. Companies solution after malfunction ( 14 months). “Disconnect electronics, take batteries out and use it as a regular lock. “. Seriously, after spending more than$200. That was their solution.

It works…if you play with it.

Hello! Coming at you from an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and the Kevo Convert kit. Install was easy, set up was easy, but when getting the device to lock or unlock the door it’s a bit glitchy. I some times have to swipe back and forth between the pages of the app (Users, keys, etc) to get the app to register the locks current state, or issue a command to unlock. The app also force closes at random intervals without provocation. 🤷🏻‍♂️ So a little ways off from being the creature comfort you see in the commercials, but you can get it to work if you REALLY don’t want to use a key or need to give someone emergency access to your house. If the app was more smooth and the lock responded better to the app it’d be 5-stars in heaven!

I love this app… So the Only one thing missing is the ability to put a note with each ekey I set up

This is the best solution for me in running my bed and breakfast business allowing our guests to check in anytime they like seamlessly and automatically stops their access at the end of their stay… Best thing since sliced bread. My only complaint is that I wish I could put in a specific note with each guest that I assign an E key to, this will make my life so much easier when going back to delete their accounts! Or instead of designating days of the week for this scheduled access that I could instead put dates beginning and ending for their access!

Does what it needs to do but with security concerns.

The app back when the kevo contemporary came out was amazing and I’ve had it since day 1; however, after a few updates the app has introduced new bugs. The worst bug being the two factor authentication. The idea behind 2FA is to use FaceID or a pin to unlock / lock the kevo. It doesn’t work that way and it’s a huge security issue. If you open the app it just goes straight to the lock and you can unlock the front door just by touching the screen. No 2FA needed. This is just one of the inherent vulnerabilities found on the app. The lock is great don’t get me wrong but the app on the other hand isn’t. Also, just don’t take my word for it. Try it yourself. You definitely should not trust a Cybersecurity Expert in the reviews section of an app.

Kēvo and Airbnb

This lock was the answer and compromise we needed to start our Airbnb. The fact that we can give out unlimited eKeys and delete as necessary. We don’t have to worry about guests losing or duplicating keys. Love this lock and it works awesome for my wife and I. The bad - the scheduled keys and guest keys never work. I always have to send anytime keys without admin use. This is frustrating. Why have those options if they don’t work. Guests with newer phones can never access the lock and searches forever. I always have to hand out my key fob which I do not like. Please fix this problem.

Unable to operate the Kevo lock without numerous tries

More than 90 percent of the time, I am unable to lock or unlock my 1st gen Kevo lock on the first try (by touching the lock). Sometimes, restarting the Kevo app would work but most of the time, it does not. When the Kevo app is able to get the actual status (locked or unlocked) of the lock, it is possible to use the app the operate the lock but that usually takes a while and sometimes require restating the app. I also have Kevo Plus and when I am unable to operate the lock by touching the lock, and when Kevo app is taking too long to recognize the lock, I would resort to using Kevo Plus to operate the lock.Because these issues started quite a few years ago, my wife has completely given up on using the “smart” feature of the Kevo and has switched back to using a physical key.

5/5 worthy app BUT.....

It’s a great app, works exactly as you would imagine and has incredibly easy setup. HOWEVER after a while it starts bugging you with pop ups for feedback every. Single. Time. You open the app. Wanna unlock your door? Gotta let them know if you love Kevo first or not. You cannot bypass it to lock or unlock your door, so you had better not hope there’s a time-sensitive emergency happening. It doesn’t even matter if your answer is yes or no, the prompts will keep coming. They don’t even ask you to leave feedback on the App Store or their website to make it stop. I’m only leaving this review here in hopes that it will stop because at this point I’m worried it will be a safety concern. Please Kevo, my answer is yes for now, but it will not be forever if you don’t stop asking me every time I open your app.

Trash app, trash hardware.

Do not waste your money on this. The app is trash, as is the product itself.The concept: You don't need a key! You simply touch the lock to lock and unlock it (while in proximity of your phone with the app)The reality: It rarely works.Sometimes, I'll tap the lock, the lights'll spin for a few seconds and nothing happens. Then I do it again. Same result. After about 4 tries, I'll finally pull out my key and lock the door manually.It WILL work when you don't want it to. I'll go out to check the mail and my hand will lightly brush the deadbolt and it'll activate. Or, it'll work when I've given up on it and finally pull my key out and it'll activate just as I go to put my key in the lock after standing there like a goon for 2 minutes trying to get it to work. Or, worse yet, it'll activate just because my key or finger touched the lock as I was inserting my key, sometimes creating an error when it tries to lock it after I just unlocked it (or vice versa).Why couldn't this work when I need it to and have my hands full with groceries (coming home) or the items I need for work (leaving)? Nope. Only works effortlessly when I don't need it to at all.It's literally the worst. I don't know if there are better options out there, but it's impossible to have worse options. Avoid at all costs.The only reasons it gets two stars are because (a) you can’t rate it lower and (b), at the very least if you have your phone, you’ll never be locked out.

Thank you Developers

I just wanted to say thank you to the developers for continuing to support this wonderful device and app. I know that the support of newer phone models has been a sticking point for a lot of reviews, but, as long as we can continue using our standard issue currently supported iPhones with this lock — seamlessly — I will be a happy customer. Reliability of unlocking with my new iPhone in my pocket recently has been flakey, (have to open the Kevo app on phone for it to “trigger” my touch on the physical lock), but I hope that I can continue to use the lock for many more years to come before support is ultimately dropped per eventual demise of all technology things in this world.

Works fine, overburdened with notifications

This app does what it says it’s going to do. But there are waaaay too many notifications. I don’t need a notification when I turn Bluetooth off, and I don’t need a notification when I close the app. I know that the app needs to be open to use its functionality. That’s pretty much what all apps do. The only notifications that are necessary are (1) your door is unlocked and (2) your door is locked. Forcing me to deal with extra worthless notifications (and giving me no way to turn them off) is annoying.
