Dean W. Ball(@deanwball):my new apartment building has a phone app for the keys and I hate it. maybe if it was nfc and I could just hold my phone close to a touchpoint it would be less grating. but you have to open the app every time, which isn't as good as a physical key. more tech is not always better.
