  • Very nice

    It does what it’s supposed to very well. You’re controlling a remote machine from a phone. The interface is clunky but that’s because you’re using a touchscreen to control a mouse interface. Could use a few more functionality boosts like automatically loading a keyboard, but overall it increases my productivity substantially

  • Good when it works, rarely works

    This app is key for me to do my job—I really have no other choice. When it works it’s amazing. The problem is that it almost never works on the first try. Almost every time I want to login anew, I have to delete the app, hard restart my computer, re-download the app, and pray it works. I just came off a bender where I tried probably 12 times and nothing. Unfortunately I rely on this app for my job so this is incredibly frustrating.

    I did buy the mouse to go with it, which completely transformed the way I work at home. I highly recommend it.

  • I love it

    It’s faster than Citrix through my work computer. It’s convenient on my phone but a little harder than an iPad and a lot harder than the computer but fo on the go issues and quick items that need to get handled, I’m so glad there’s a mobile version.

    I’m not giving five stars because it sometimes takes a while for an app to open and there’s no indication that it’s working. I don’t know if it’s stuck or I’m being impatient. Switching between apps can be clunky at times.

    Working with an iPad and an Apple pen with a keyboard is the o my way to go.

  • an abysmal experience on a mobile phone

    Citrix Workspace acts no differently than Citrix receiver for our company’s uses. The app we require is useless on a smartphone, and only marginally navigable on a tablet. Access to highly important, time sensitive information takes WAY too long to navigate to. I have much better luck using a different VNC app into my office computer to access the required app within citrix.

    The full screen view loses itself when a device is rotated and shrinks down to a postage stamp. If the full screen view returns, the same issue happens again upon rotation. Pinch to zoom is buggy, the VM lags like a 75mhz NEC running Win95, and good luck opening most attachments on iOS... Another place where a regular VNC app excels, as I can open attachments on my actual computer for viewing on my smartphone.

    Trying to add data or attachments to our chosen app is not even possible on this mobile platform.

  • Would be perfect with mouse functionality

    I’d love to be able to connect us with an Apple Magic mouse and be able to have full desktop functionality from my iPad. Unfortunately this doesn’t quite get there without that feature in while you can use an Apple Pencil navigate it doesn’t work quite as well on the screen the size of your typical iPad. Not all sad I’m really pleased with the performance and reliability of this current version

  • Good for remote access

    This app is a surprisingly quick way to gain remote access to my work applications. Quicker than accessing it via a laptop or desktop. It also scales nicely to the high resolution of my iPad Pro - see more of the screen without scrolling unlike my laptop. Generally works very well and there have been some nice enhancements over the years.

  • Works well

    I work for a company that has an IT department, so they use this app. I don't have a choice. I'm not that tech savvy, but I'm the only one in my department that doesn't use paper. This app allows me to get my census and take a picture of it, edit it pick it up in Notes Writer and make notes on it. It works great. In the past there have been a couple of issues-nobody's perfect. One issue now is that it locks up when I try to remove a patient from the census. So, only four stars.

  • Still can't get anything done

    The last few versions of Receiver were pretty stable and good. However, I am finding that version 7.5 is somehow chewing through my battery like mad. I previously could work for 8 hours continuously and end up with 30-40% battery, no I completely run out of battery in 5 to 6 hours. The battery menu in Settings lists that receiver used 95% of the battery power over the past 24 hours. I am really hoping they fix this because it is making it very difficult for me to do my job if I have to plug-in frequently to get through my workday.

  • This new 11.0 stinks on functionality.

    This app along with numbers and pages and email and whatever goes backwards in functionality whenever you guys make updates. The keyboard stinks now without the forward and backward keys. Was a five star app but you took it down to a four. The only real advantage of the 11.0 update was the storage of photos. I don’t use iCloud storage or any other online storage. So the photos have taken quite a bit off space. Probably find some more stuff as I go along. I think you guys change stuff just to make it new not better. Changing just for change sake is stupid not smart.

  • I wanted to get work done.

    First of all, why is the screen so tiny and forget about pressing and buttons or scrolling. I have not seen any google links to tell me how to fix this. But my biggest issue is once my desktop is up, my task bar at the bottom of the screen is completely frozen. So when I open multiple application windows, I can see the open application windows but I cannot click the other applications to toggle between them, which means I can't get anything done. Useless. I would love a paid version with better functionality.
