NFC Ring Unlock

I spent a good amount of time trying to set it up so the ring could unlock my phone. The software is very dated and unfriendly with very poorly written and vague instructions. Until the developers improve this program I wouldn't trust it to unlock my phone.

It works fine unless someone calls you until voice mail picks up. Then it unlocks all by itself. No password nor ring then needed.

This app was fairly straightforward in pairing my NFC ring but some of the interfaces, menu choices were unintuitive and being a security application explicit notices and confirmations would be much welcomed

I'd like it even more if it could lock certain apps or photos or files vs the entire phone only. That feature is pretty standard on most phones now, right?

Was on a video chat and nfc just caused my phone to lock multiple times. Like around 10 times in a video chat. Also I think it would be better if there was an option for the ring not to be shown on the lockscreen or an option to take a picture or call an emergency number without unlocking the phone.

The app works, but needs a polish, the issues are when a call comes through and phone locked, there is no way of answering while phone is locked like standard os , which i find disappointing for what it is.....i think it should be better...

Just flushed down the toilet 30 bucks! Junky junk does not work at all! Waste of money!

Frustrating...it requests on occasion to unlock while on a call! !!

Love having this lock option on my phone but sometimes I need to scan the ring more than once to unlock the phone

Wish it did more

I just wish i could find a widget for a clock

It's ok

It works great, all that matters

Love it!!!

Simple but useful

Incredible. Buggy inconsistent app. Disabled it. Days later out of the blue I can't get in w/o ring! Can't remove the app. Can't disable it. Can't risk going anywhere w/o the ring, even though I need to return it due to a defect. When wearing it the phone beeps incessantly, guess this ring goes in my pocket...rather put it in the trash.

The app is a bit new and doesn't perfectly mesh with my phone (OnePlusOne + cm12.1) but it has great potential and it could definitely benefit from an experienced dedicated app locker developer

I have this app set as device administrator and have no third party security software running and all built in security disabled. When you boot the phone, it boots unlocked until this app has time to load. Which means a bad doers simply needs to reboot, then they have 10 seconds or so of unrestricted access to the phone before this app loads.

No online manual/video explaining how to configure this version of the app.

The app is a good idea but it has several major flaws: breaks often, is incompatible with android native security, and has less customization not to mention it's Myriad of security flaws. It's potentially usable if you want to prevent your a child from getting in but don't expect it to stop anyone with even a passing knowledge of android, restarting will give a 30 second window of before the app boots, and it can't be Uninstalled after being installed, this app is very high risk low reward.

Feels like I'm using an App from early Android Gingerbread days or a dumb iPhone

Ring registered but cannot verify because app says invalid username or password. Even after password reset. Just use the built in smart lock, this app is crap.

It would be nice if it has a setting to disable the built in lock seeing Google removed "none"

Good concept but really lacking in finish and polish.. Crashes quite often on my g4. Wallpaper changing is basic (only option is to stretch pics to fit) . No notifications. Keypad for putting in pin code is sluggish and still holo.. Would be better if I could use nfc unlock side by side with the stock lockscreen

Having registered my email and password on the control app this app asked for them but says they are invalid. Very frustrating as this app would be brilliant

It works. But I would prefer a lockscreen that doesn't show a giant picture of my ring. I want to add existing functionality without calling attention to the additional security. Also update the UI/UX. App still looks like it came out of 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Need of a visual update to Android Design Spec.

I love my NFC ring, but there are so many previously reviewed problems with this App to be relied upon. Native Android M security settings basically need to be turned off to just use the ring to unlock the device. Meaning you need to basically disable a pin, password, or any other built in login method in Android first. Then set up your ring as your login means. As stated before, if the phone is restarted, the OS boots core functionality first, then 3rd party applications like NFC ring unlock. Dangerous.

Never recognizes your account info so it never actually works. There is a feedback button in the main app but it doesn't do anything. No answers on the forums. I'll revise if this app ever does anything. UPDATE: The support button didn't work and my forum post was deleted by the administrator (it was professional and not the least bit inappropriate). I might try the app again but at launch the product was unusable because without this app my phone pops things up every time it reads the ring.

It installs, it configures and if I'm lucky, the ugly lock screen will unlock and hopefully without crashing. Lock Screen Widgets crash every time, so can only use a static image (what year is it?) and the only included alternatives are limited to a pin code or your full online account password and no Knock or Pattern Lock

Kinda clunky operation. Sometimes it just crashes and allows anyone to use the phone.

Does not work properly, registers ring then says invalid key, also I can't for all that is sacred log in to verify even though I have an account, sorry but it's no good

App an ring work nicely.

Don't bother with this garbage, use the default Android lockscreen instead. Crashes every time I try to add a widget.

The ring doesn't work, I have tried everything

Must have app.

App doesn't work very well. Sometimes Doesn't allow ring to unlock phone when phone ringing. Facebook chat still works at lock screen. Notifications screen still works.

Best protection cause in order to get passed me and my screen u have to know which ring and take it from me.

App works great! My only problem is I have a hard time trying to remove it. To answer the "if it's so good why take it off?" My answer is I am always looking for the bigger better app. I have yet to find one. Update: would love to see notifications on the lock screen such as missed calls and .

Yes it won't replace the baked in security of your android device but they tell you that from the get-go...if you upgrade to lollipop you can use your ring as a trusted device in android to bypass your NATIVE lockscreen. Who got that instituted? Oh that's right, the NFCRing crew! I've got this installed to add another layer of security beyond my native lockscreen. Type in my shorter pin from the native lockscreen then this pops up. Helps ADD to security not replace it, plus I can have 2 lockscreen pics
