User reviews

App not working on iPad

I have used the Lite version on my phone for years. Wanted to add to iPad. It crashes upon search. Wish I had read all of the reviews because I just paid $15 for an app that will not work on my iPad.

Was The best AD management app, now useless

Finally got a VPN that I can use again, and this app is toast. Closes as soon as you search for anything. Seems to be abandoned, real shame

Is this a broke for the IPAD?

Any Search kicks you right out of the app. 15.2

Unusable in iPadOS 15

Crashes when searching for a user in iPadOS 15. Now unusable. I tried to report this to the developer privately, but wasn’t successful in doing so.

Would be great to have this verified for security purposes

The lack of disclosed privacy details is cause for concern. Getting access to the AD of an organization without disclosure of information use is a significant breach potential. With today’s atmosphere of cyber security needs an app must be better than “no details provided”.
