I can’t think of a single reason that NEMA Life needed to replace the perfectly-fine Riseio app previously offered by our building. The vast majority use it to make amenity reservations and get their cars from the garage, and the new app does this horribly. The old app had a Home Screen shortcut (long press) and a single tap from the main screen. This has neither. I didn’t even think this app let you request your car until I was pointed at the convoluted set of steps that bring you to a web view where you need to find and manually enter your valet details. I’m glad some developer convinced NEMA to pay more money for a fancy new app, but it’s an unnecessary downgrade from the old one.

Manual bank account connection is broken because the Stripe API key is not properly setup by the devs. There’s an error message indicating this when you try to submit. Instant verification is with Plaid which is awesome until you realize the app is making you eat their cost of hitting the api with the fee the app charges you to do so. Would definitely bump this rating up if that API key bug was fixed or if the instant verification was free like it is for every other app with that service.

It works so I don’t have to!

I have been residing in NEMA since July 1 of last year and it has been nothing short of amazing! The building is beautiful, the amenities are endless and the staff is awesome! The rent is pretty expensive but it is worth every penny. My only wish is that I could purchase my apartment. But, I absolutely love everything about NEMA and would encourage anyone to be a resident. Happy New Year!!!
