Questions people ask
Frequentlyasked.
No. Hood Gate is a separate app built for the gate — larger text, bigger buttons and a layout that works with gloves and in bright sunlight. It shares the platform with the resident app, so both always see the same visitor.
Hood Gate keeps working. Entries made while offline are queued on the device and sent the moment the connection returns, and the app tells the guard clearly when the list may be out of date.
The resident, guard and staff apps are available in English and Hindi.
If the flat’s owner is already on Hood, they approve their own tenants and family — they know who lives in their home. Everything else, including any claim to be the owner, goes to the society office.
Yes. Builders get their own app name, logo and colours, with their own store listing, on the same platform. Only colour and logo are brandable — layouts and behaviour stay the same, so every tenant gets a tested product.
No. If the resident doesn’t respond before the countdown ends, security is told to hold the visitor. The guard can call the flat directly from the waiting list.
