Works

This works only if you are unlocking the Mac after a rest mode, you can't turn on de Mac and use it, the software should né running for this to work
Pretty buggy, generally doesn’t work.

My first thought when I saw this on lifehacker was “Oh! Awesome! Now I can use Touch ID to unlock my Mac!” However, when I tried pairing the app to my late 2012 iMac, it would never complete the pairing process with the desktop app they direct you to download. It’d find my computer just fine, but would never actually complete the pairing process despite me entering my password when prompted on my Mac.
Doesn’t work. Better off using Knock

The app worked but was buggy until the latest update. Now it doesn’t work at all.
Pairs up, but that’s all. Cannot recommend at ALL.

Have a 2 month old iPhone 6+ and a 2 week old Macbook Pro. While the two devices DID pair up, the app ONLY works to unlock your computer after SLEEP. It will not login you in after a reboot, it will not work for apps that prompt you to login, all it will do is login after sleep. What’s the point of that!?!? I can type the password on the keyboard 10 times faster than opening this app, swiping open, login, use touchID. etc.
Doesn't always work

I have my iPhone 6 plus next to my new MacBook Pro with retina when I try use it. It works 1 out of 10x. It's annoying. Going to try to get a refund.
Connectivity, dialup Internet is faster

I am running and iPhone six, and a MacBook Pro 2015. Good idea, when it works; I have to manually connect the two devices every time I want to login.
Annoyingly Inconsistent

This app fails to work more than it actually works, and that is in the best of situations. It can't wake the computer. It's just not fully formed. Were it free to experiment as a beta, it would be worth trying out. It definitely is NOT worth any actual money.
Doesn't work

It's never worked for me ever. I've tried it with an iPhone 6, 5S on a 2012 air, and MacBook Pro. None of them have ever worked with this app. And there's nowhere to ask for support help or an FAQ
not ready for primetime, there are better apps

app works "loosely” (1) setup is cumbersome as one must go into iOS/FingerKey app/settings and select 'on' for Touch ID - an easy thing except it is NOT mentioned and, without, app will not work (2) if your Mac has been sleeping for an extended time (screen & computer in deep sleep) wake its screen first to expose lock screen - then the app did work for me close to 100% of the time (inc. widget) while inconsistent if screen is black (this seems to be a known issue with BT & deep sleep and the other ‘unlock apps’ talk about it too) (3) absurdly Mac app chooses to swing 360º red line around your user image which shows thru the screensaver - workaround is quit Mac app but that kind of makes no sense ?! i am using two 'unlock apps', one each to unlock my Mac from my iPhone AND iPad as haven't found one that allows multiple iOS devices tho some allow multiple Macs. my 'other' is the free 'Touch Unlock', it locks & unlocks and functions like a primetime app. i have been able to make FingerKey ‘usable’ but would happily replace it in the future esp. when i get my Apple Watch (some apps will use the Watch in a handily fashion).
