  • Best MDM

    Don't waste your time with other platforms. This is simply the best.
  • Umm

    I don't really know what this does. My school made me get it. So. Yeah
  • Constant GPS Usage?!?

    Still draining battery like it’s going out of style.

    This could be a great little frontend to a great service! Unfortunately it is marred by the same design flaw that has caused the same problems for the big boys in MDM, which is that the programmers haven't figured out that GPS doesn't need to be on 24/7. Polling every 15 minutes or longer, or even having an administrator-defined poll period, would be much better.

  • Forced MDM is an app killer

    I wanted to us this app to more easily manage my home Meraki network. Unfortunately, I can't use this app at all because the installation of a MDM (mobile device manager) profile on my iPhone is mandatory. However, I already have another MDM installed (required by my employer) and you can only have one installed on your phone.

    I don't want this app to manage my phone. I just want to use the app to manage my network.

  • Love Meraki but app needs work

    I love Meraki devices and their concept, however, this app needs work. Biggest issue, location services seems to be pulling constantly (rather than giving/pushing location only when requested) It drains battery life. I have to turn location services off which decreases major functionality of the app - knowing location of devices within our outside the network. When this is fixed, I'll be happy to give more stars!

  • GPS Polling Needs Work

    As other reviewers have stated, if you turn on GPS tracking, the location services will always be on and it will destroy your battery life.

    If the app only did location polling when requested by the web interface or at specified intervals, it would be much more useful feature. As it stands, it is quite unusable because of the effects on battery life. Please fix the app as the systems manager is a great tool!

  • Well...

    I was happy to see there is a app now but it is missing something important. There are other tracking apps that lock settings so the users can't change them. Also the location service looks to always be active.
  • Alert! Battery drainer!

    I understand the constant polling of the app for GPS updates (that's the only reason to install the app and the only way for a dashboard user to accurately track a device's location) but couldn't it just retrieve GPS data when it is requested by the dashboard? Battery life will drop considerably if
    location services for this app are left on.

  • Has potential

    I really like the System Manager as an MDM and was happy to hear about the app to help with location services. What I hope for in future releases is removing the ability for the user to turn off the location services. Also, I don't see a reason for location services to be active all the time; why not on demand when needed. Keep it up though!

  • Not impressed.

    I installed this app earlier today. Later I noticed that my location services icon was always on. I wondered whether it was related to Meraki. I went into Privacy --> Location Services and lo and behold meraki was the culprit. I quickly uninstalled the app.

    This app doesn't give me anything I didn't already have from the web interface. To echo other reviewers I need a way to review managed devices not just verify the profile.
