Don’t purchase unlimited

You get absolutely nothing extra with the purchase. I’ve already requested my refund.

Reset Passwords

Can’t change user’s password from app. Constantly get error message saying password doesn’t meet group policy complexity rules but I know for a fact the reset password is complex. Other than that, everything else seems to work.

Response from developer

The new update 7.0 fixes the password reset issue

Love it

Since buying this app two years ago I use it everyday. Now I carry my iPad around with me wherever I go. If I student needs their password reset. I just whip out my iPad and reset it there and then without needing to log into a computer.

Restore Purchases does not work!

I had purchased the AD Assist Unlimited version on a previous device — I have upgraded my iPad to the latest from Apple, but am now locked out of the Unlimited version — Restore Purchases does not work, and I have no option to repurchase the software again on the new iPad.

Will adjust my review once the developer fixes this.
