Problems:
1. Connection issues: mostly takes too long or won't connect at all. Works sometimes, other times not at all
2. Phone app sometimes says deadbolt is jammed, but it is not
3. Inaccurate app: door is locked, but app says it's unlocked (or vice Versa), so the app won't do anything
4. Unreliable remote lock/unlock: because of the app's inaccuracy, if you forget to lock your door when you have left the house, you check the app to lock it, and it says it locked it, but it actually didn't. Huge problem.
5. Sending someone a temporary e-key is a huge, huge hassle
6. Router must be within range of the deadbolt. This might be why there are a ton of reliability issues and why problems in #1-4 above exists.
Super great price. Might be worth a try and see if you get a good unit. Maybe the app has gotten better as the top bad reviews are from 2017-2018. If you do buy it, read the review "Kevo Convert...the good, the bad, and the ugly" for really good instructions on how to correctly set it up.

We went with a keypad one from Kwikset which still has a key on it. Batteries have lasted a year already without being changed, 100% reliable. Kids have their own code, can make temporary codes if needed.

Another issue is door alignment. Too many newer houses are just slapped together so poorly, so you've got either a bad install or there is a settling issue, so your door latch doesn't engage properly so that you've got to pull on the door to engage the deadbolt.
The price is alright, but I'm almost just tempted to just go ahead and upgrade to the full unit w/keypad. It seems like such a bigger convenience to text someone a doorcode vs an e-key. The added issue of required wifi is big as well. A bad firmware update or ISP or power issue isn't entirely uncommon in my area (PNW) and is generally not resolvable by remoting in. Maybe the big players will start throwing a fingerprint reader on their stuff, I've seen one on display in Home Depot but its not from a brand that I'm familiar with.

I don't like it much but it goes with my door existing lock color.
It does eats up batteries

I'd be on this if it was Z-Wave. Pass on bluetooth. As others have said, battery drains quickly in this model.
