## Near Lock Reviews in United States

### *---- "Can’t get the pro version"
This app does what it supposed to do but I am trying to get the pro version and can’t do it. It just idles
-- Ketodj, 2025-01-08

### *---- "DID NOT WORK AT ALL"
iPhone 15 PRO, iWatch Ultra 2 and Macbook Pro MAX M2. Did not connect ANT of these devices together. Vry disappointing. Not worth the frustration of fixing Apples bugs for them!
-- 1Pissed_Off, 2024-08-22

### **--- "Doesn’t Work"
I bought and installed (the paid version) this app about 3 months ago, and it hasn’t worked since. I use my laptop at work and sometimes when I get up, I forget to lock it. I thought this app was going to lock my Mac automatically when I walk away, but it doesn’t. It does however work when I manually lock my Mac from the NearLock app which I why I gave this two stars. In this day and age, I’m so surprised Apple doesn’t have a built in feature. You’d think with the Find My app we’d be able to remotely lock our Macs and other devices. Nope, poor experience all around.
-- D from New Jersey, 2024-08-08

### ****- "I like it, but…"
It’s nice to be able to sit down and not go through the motions of unlocking the system, but after locking it for the night, it nags me a few times to unlock it, constantly invoking Face ID. Find myself flipping the phone screen away from my face to swipe it closed.
-- MonkeyWrench1842, 2024-06-03

### *---- "五年没更新了，网站都关了"
跑路了
-- mContext, 2024-05-27

### *---- "Plzzz fix"
I can’t get mine MacBook Air m2 to connect mine iPhone 14 PLUSE plzzz fix
-- JR WAGNER, 2024-04-05

### *---- "DONT WAST YOUR TIME WORTHLESS"
Just like everybody else says it been adbandoned by the developers i downloaded the app thinking it was going to be easy seting up nope u have to go to there webiste an download a file an i did that an it says drage the file to the applicant folder did that an still dont work am not going to wast mine time just to get the app to work to many steps just to even get the app to work properly so dont wast ur time even downloading until they make even if they make it alot easeier just to get it working
-- JR WAGNER, 2024-03-16

### *---- "Abandonware"
This used to work great but doesn’t on Sonoma.  The developers have abandoned the only working app in the store.
-- WebJIVE, 2024-01-07

### ***-- "Unlocks, doesn’t lock"
App description says last update was 5 years ago. Sounds like it’s been abandoned. Running Sonoma on M1 Mac, iOS 17.2.1 on phone. Mac doesn’t auto-lock when phone moves outside the threshold distance, though unlock works when the phone gets close enough. Sent email to the address given on the developer’s website, got an error message saying it couldn’t be delivered because the target mailbox is full! It suggests the developer isn’t reading mail at that address
-- 3glot, 2024-01-05

### *---- "Proximity lock is not working"
I wanted to use it on my ipad with my macbook but it does not lock or unlock my macbook at all. It shows the distance increasing but does nothing:))
-- PMahdavii, 2023-12-22

### ***** "All mac users should have this app"
This app is insane
It connects to my MacBook in seconds 
And theres no ads 
And quick setup
-- Hahahhahahhahmedsuberia, 2023-09-18

### *---- "such a bummer 😩"
Sadly the app doesn’t auto-lock my M1 Macbook Pro, which was the whole reason I bought it…
Don’t waste your money….
-- a Fan!, 2023-09-14

### *---- "Worthless"
Has been abandoned and not updated in 4 years. Does not work (at least on current iMac/iPhone).
-- SmokeDog78, 2023-07-21

### ****- "nice"
it's already a good app,even three years didn’t upgrade
-- 信息杂乱无章, 2023-02-19

### *---- "Does not work with latest iOS MacOS"
Developer seems to have abandoned the app. Don’t buy as if it doesn’t work on your setup you won’t get a response nor a refund. Tried contacting the dev multiple times to no avail.
-- assentch, 2023-01-15

### *---- "App Abandoned"
This app has been abandoned by the developer.
Do not use
-- picardsm, 2022-12-14

### **--- "Device list not updated and buggy. Uninstalled!"
Tried to make it work but it would not with my non-M1 chip MBP. 

The app store on the MBP had a warning  it was incompatible with the macOS app but the description on the iphone app does say it can work with 2012 mac book pro or later.  I have a MBP late 2015 running Monterrey. 

Ultimately, the app will lock the computer remotely using the app but will not do it automatically based on proximity which is what it seemed this app could do and the reason to download it in the first place. 
I already use my watch to unlock. 

It won’t let me download the pro version on the iphone or the mac or allow to use it on the watch.

On the watch,  it states that the iphone app needs to be turned on or buy the PRO.  

Unfortunately, it won’t let me buy the pro and the watch app is not able to register when the iphone app is actually open. 

great concept but execution needs work.
-- Mandax27, 2022-12-09

### **--- "Not fully functional."
Proximity doesn’t work.
-- dailyuser70, 2022-10-06

### ****- "I use it daily"
This app works 95% of the time, when it stop working you need to restart the app or turn off/on Bluetooth.
I also always leave the app open.

Don’t understand why the developer has not updated this app in years.

The small issues could be fixed easily with some updates.
-- max.123, 2022-08-10

### *---- "Worthless"
Followed all the instructions and bought to pro to get features and it hasn’t worked yet. Even worse my max screen saver just prompts for a password. Don’t waste your money on this.
-- Kiwidad1963, 2022-06-29
