The eKEY Basic iPhone app from Supra was approved yesterday and is available for free in the iTunes app store. The iPhone app does not allow users to open real estate keyboxes but does have a demo mode so users can view all of the functionality of the application without having to sign up for the eKEY service.
eKEY Basic provides the following features:
- Wireless Updates and Alerts
- Obtain Listing Keys
- Keep track of all your key boxes right from your phone!
- Manage and Program your keyboxes
- Easily place and remove keyboxes from listings using your phone. You can also change your own shackle codes.
To open keyboxes, users will need a Supra eKEY iPhone adapter. The adapter is a small device that plugs into the bottom of the iPhone and allows the iPhone to communicate with the keybox with a low powered infrared light. The adapter does not need batteries.
According to the iPhone app, the adapters will begin shipping the third week in August.
You can not activate the eKEY app until the adapters are available but can enter the demo mode to view how the app will work.
The app will allow users to open keyboxes, open the keybox shackle, and view inventory.
The demo mode does send sample notifications of showings so you can get a good idea of how the apps functions.
The iPhone app looks good. It will be interesting to see how well the app works once the adapters start to ship.
The app already has several 5 star reviews in iTunes including this one that made me laugh:
It looks really slick!

According to the demo, you can even give feedback directly after the showing. I’m so excited about this, I may pee.
How much does the Supra iPhone Adapter cost?
The iPhone adapter costs a one time fee of $55. There will be a monthly fee to use the eKEY software and this fee varies by each Board or MLS.
You can download the iPhone right now for free in the iTunes app store. The eKEY for iPhone requires iPhone OS 3.1.3 or above and will work with all of the iPhone models, 2G, 3G, 3GS, and 4.

Bryan,
Thanks for the helpful info. I am going to pass it along to agents that I know.
You are welcome! I guess they won’t make one that will fit your iPad. :)
