Great App—does what it is supposed to do
E. H.
Wonderful app... but the pro version (in-app purchase) is really necessary to make it work like you would like it to. The Pro version makes it possible to have the lock/unlock functions work in the background (so you don’t have to have the app. In fact, with the pro version, you can have your phone inactive, and the app still does its stuff. It takes a bit of fiddling to figure out what the various setting ought to be for you, but once you tune in to the logic of this app, it works like a charm. Even Siri shortcuts are available to lock or unlock your Mac, but with the proximity automation, you don’t really need Siri. One enhancement I would like to see is a complication for the Apple Watch that works in the wonderful Infograph watch face (the Nearlock complication does work in other watch faces). Highly recommended.
Terrible time waster

Works for a few minutes at a time before you have to reset all your Bluetooth in phone and Mac. Much faster to type your password. I’ve written the company multiple times over months, and they haven’t bothered to respond about helping or a refund I requested. Not the kind of company I want to support.
Super unreliable

Really can’t find a setting that works (bought pro). I’ve had it lock my computer while my phone is on the desk 3” away from it. Then, same setting, I can walk 15 feet away and the system stays on.
Great when it works

Have to restart Bluetooth on my computer, phone, or both about every third or fourth time I use it.
Great App in Theory

problem: Bluetooth doesn’t always automatically connect and I have to unpair or reboot
Doesn’t work now

This was a great app, but every time I open the app, it says my Bluetooth is off. I’ve restarted my phone, still doesn’t work. When it worked, it was great! Please fix. I can’t do anything.
Works - but lots of bugs

So I got the free version and it worked ok - but after a few days I wanted also the ‘in background’ option. Got the ‘Pro’ version - and now the app constantly says “iPhone disconnected” - and I have to restart the Mac to get it working again. Not what I had in mind. Also, despite all attempts to switch off annoying sounds, my phone still chimes stupidly every time I unlock the Mac. Please fix and update.
