Meta Business Suite, designed for managing social media business pages, is praised for its ease of use in some aspects but is widely criticized for being buggy, slow, and unreliable, making Kisi the slightly better option despite its own flaws.

- [R9] Kisi It’s okay: I wish the app would unlock the doors by holding my phone close to the door reader instead of having to click on the door button then have the door unlock. Also, when I click on the door button, my phone wallet opens sometimes instead. But it works, so I won’t complain too much.
- [R13] Kisi Glitchy: Sometimes the app keeps you from being able to exit the establishment because it can’t register the location of your phone close enough to the outside lock. When entering, your phone needs to be held tight up against the device on the door for it to grant you access. Additionally, every single time I use it to unlock the door it triggers my apple wallet, as if I’m trying to pay for someth
- [R14] Kisi Great digital key: It does what it's supposed to do, gets me into my gym. What more can I say?
- [R15] Kisi Good theory. Little glitches: Like the flexibility of Kisi (iPhone, Apple Watch) but it does not always work on my watch alone. Hope this can get fixed. Thanks!
- [R2] Kisi Love It: Easy in access and not a whole lot of people here around noon which is great 1,000/10
- [R17] Kisi Awesome: Absolutely fantastic. Makes it all so easy to gain access to the space. Thanks Kisi
- [R23] Kisi Gym: Totally love the ease to get into gym without a card
- [R33] Kisi Horrible update: It was working great! Until you sent this update. Now I need one more tap to start the unlocking process: select my place. I have only one! And instead of holding, now I’m required to swipe! It’s definitely harder with one hand using the phone. Update Jul 17, 2018 Congrats you get two stars back for reducing one tap of selecting places. Now I’ll just complain about the difficult
- [R4] Kisi CrossFit: I’m a member of my CF and I only go to open gym due to my schedule. We can use Kisi to let us inside. Kisi is very glitchy and not reliable. I have been notified by the app countless times now to contact my Coach due to it logging me out (I didn’t do it) from the app. It worked like wonders at first now it’s just so annoying. My CF had no control over this app. This app needs an update
- [R5] Kisi RB: Works great!
- [R8] Kisi Westerly car club: Works great
- [R10] Kisi I see what they are trying to do but…: Kisi wants to protect. Like the system leans toward security. But the malfunction of the hardware and software. Literally everyday something is wrong with Kisi. Kisi is my Dinkleburg. ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾Hate it because it’s always a problem. But man, if it worked it would be awesome.
- [R37] Kisi Awful company: It's a very bare bones system. Stripped down and cloud-hosted for no other reason (for most organizations) than to charge an exorbitant amount for a subscription (for a DOOR LOCK). The hardware is low quality. The nfc is very finicky so if you plan on that being your main access method, maybe look into another system. I had a horrible experience with Kisi. We used Kisi for 3 years
- [R45] Kisi Price Gouging: Price gouging at its finest. 900% increase without notice after 1 year!! Great at first. Then a year later will raise their prices tremendously, unethical and unacceptable! Learned from my vendor about the change in price, not even from Kisi. Actively looking at different door access companies. Kisi, do not respond with, “contact support”. Respond when you can actually make this r
- [R61] Meta Business Suite Đớp: Đéo chạy Quảng Cáo cũng tự chừ tiền
- [R64] Meta Business Suite Trash app: Solo me roba el dinero, aplicacion de mierda, cada vez que la actualizan, deja de funcionar algo tan simple, estan metiendo sus funciones de mierda, y la app cada dia se vuelve mas obsoleta, primero quitaron adminostrador de paginas para meter esta app de mierda, ahora ya no puedo editar mis audiencias porque solo se puede en PC vete alv crees que tengo tiempo de cargar con una laptop,
- [R28] Kisi Bugged out: Worst appoints kind and have to go into the gym to have them mess with the app. They say it’s definitely the app causing issues and have to restart my account religiously. Please Kisi jump off a bridge
- [R106] Meta Business Suite No Help Options Except NI (no intelligence): As a social media manager, I recommend SOCi or PostHog for scheduling posts and running analytics. If you need help with Facebook or Instagram, Meta Suite does NOT help whatsoever! You cannot speak to a real person, not via chat, email, phone, anything!
- [R109] Meta Business Suite Customer service: I can spend an hour on the phone with customer service hard to understand their English, and nothing is accomplished after an hour
- [R6] Kisi Permission mad: It says permissions are required to monitor your location at all times, etc. But it works regardless, just shows your this banner at the top of the screen. Suspicious!
- [R21] Kisi More permissions required to Use: I had enabled location sharing ‘While using the App’ and I could not get the app to work unless I allowed access all the time. Next, the app doesn’t support NFC fully or it isn’t being detected on my phone. When I am near a location that needs the app to access, my wallet opens up. Not the app. Even if I have the app open and I’m at the device that needs to be unl
- [R22] Kisi Forces always allow location: There’s no reason Kisi MUST always have access to my location. And yet it would not allow me to login and get into my building without setting to Always. When I changed it after to While Using, it indicates “Some REQUIRED permissions are missing”. Not true at all. I’m a big boy. Tell me what it affects and let me choose. But don’t force me into what you wa
- [R49] Kisi Creepy: I’m sorry, but share my location at all times with this shady company just to unlock a door? Absolutely not. Also: Why are you pausing my audio when I ooen your app? In what world does an electonic key app need my speakers? I am considering quitting the gym that forces me to use this creepy app.
- [R78] Meta Business Suite Cross-platform but buggy: Very nice for cross-platform posting, but it often lags or flat out doesn’t work right. Messages from followers often appear days late, if at all. Events are a nightmare. Only use this to post updates and pictures.
- [R90] Meta Business Suite Typical Meta with features not working: While I like the app in general and the convenience of scheduling to two places in advance, I wish they would fix the things that don’t work. For example, today I can’t see my four scheduled posts cause when I click on that link like I’ve done thousands of other times in the past, the link is dead and only allows me to schedule a new post and there’s no way
- [R91] Meta Business Suite Unable to schedule reels.: I keep scheduling reels that never show up in the scheduled content or post. If i don’t schedule them as posts, they don’t post or show up. It’s annoying. Scheduling reels on IG works, but it’s not the same. The images cut off and it’s just bad. I’m now having to go and create a video with the images on TikTok to post. And I hate it.
- [R105] Meta Business Suite Video upload trouble: I’ve had a few videos and even ones that I tried to schedule that were not published
- [R88] Meta Business Suite Very lag to type in conversation.: It is very laggy to write messages in this update. When trying to reply a conversation, after one line is typed, it becomes laggy and very difficult to type. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but still happens. Please fix this issue,
- [R93] Meta Business Suite fix it: fix the slow typing please. it annoys me and makes it harder for me to do my job.
- [R100] Meta Business Suite Keyboard lags like crazy: It's completely broken and unusable. I've never seen such a big company make such a trash app. · translated
- [R108] Meta Business Suite Business suite: Slow slow slow..could be so much better and more efficient. Features could be amazing but lacks speed and functionality to be amazing
