They make good locks. Only the software is super bad. The ENTR application wants to have almost all of your user rights. And that just to open your door. You also receive a meaningless answer to emails.
Due to the update of ENTR I can no longer use the app. Overall a very bad user experience.

After the assessment, contact was made. I could participate in beta tests. But never heard anything again. The ENTR app still won't function without unnecessary permissions.
The lock is so beautifully designed. But the app is really, really bad.
Android software makers apparently still don't understand that you don't need a lot of permissions for a simple app to function. More than BT shouldn't be necessary. But taking a photo and location, what is it necessary for? A GPS logger can use GPS data, but a simple app to open my lock really doesn't need that. Too bad that after many updates they have not been able to get this out again. But the worst and most unreliable I think is that this authorization is NOT requested in the beginning. They only added them later. Then I couldn't return my lock to the store.
When you buy a car, you don't want a box in your car after a service to keep an eye on your location? And without a box, your car will no longer drive. I think they are acting out of incompetence and not so much maliciously. Unfortunately. Not recommended.
