Useless. ### 4/5 — Works *2014-02-06, version 3.1.5* Is marginally less annoying than using WatchDox over the Internet ### 1/5 — Does not open *2013-09-09, version 3.0.2* Even after latest update, this app just does not open at all. Broken on iPad and iPhone. ### 1/5 — Mr *2013-08-24* The only user truly happy with this app would be Mordac. ### 1/5 — Awful User Experience *2013-05-28, version 2.9.2* Edit functionality is just a Remote Desktop session to a windows box. Not at all touch optimized and useless if I'm on a slow or flakey connection (which happens all the time when I travel). ### 1/5 — Bad *2013-05-05, version 2.9.2* Crashes immediately after opening on iPhone 4 and iPad. ### 1/5 — Worthless app. *2013-04-23, version 2.9.2* I was hopeful when I saw the update this morning. STILL crashes instantly after opening. ### 1/5 — Broken *2013-04-11, version 2.9.1* iPad 4, app crashes and will not open documents. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Not so great *2013-04-10, version 2.9.1* This program has had nothing but problems since I installed it. First it would not save my highlights or annotations. Now, after the upgrade it will not let me open the docs on my iPad. I don't know if I am an isolated case but I have spent way to many hours working with their tech support for this to be viable. Nothing was ever resolved to fix my issues. I use this program for school text books, it is required. ### 3/5 — Needs fixing!!! *2013-04-10, version 2.9.1* When I first installed this program it worked very well. However since they updated it they wrecked the highlighting feature. You have a solid block of yellow. Can't see through it. Please fix. Additional color options would also be nice. ### 3/5 — Good app *2013-03-29, version 2.9.0* I love the new upgrades except when you use the yellow highlighter it's to dark and you can't see the words under the highlighted word. Can you please fix ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-05-05, version 11.5.2* I can’t do anything on this app. ### 1/5 — Not compatible with iOS 14 *2021-03-14, version 10.1.0* Uh oh. Blackberry released a “Critical Issue Advisory” that Workspaces DOES NOT WORK with iOS 14 and WILL NOT UNTIL SEPTEMBER? And their recommendation is to not install iOS 14 until Workspaces is updated. I note that iOS will probably be at 15 in October... From the notice: “Due to a compatibility issue, BlackBerry Workspaces for iOS version 10.0 (and later) and BlackBerry Workspaces for Android version 10.0 will close unexpectedly on iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and Android 11 devices. When this occurs, the user is returned to the home screen of the device. Resolution This issue will be resolved in future software releases which are currently scheduled for September. BlackBerry recommends that customers upgrade to the new versions of the BlackBerry Workspaces Dynamics apps (version 10.0.1x) when they are released. After upgrading the apps, customers can upgrade their devices to iOS 14, iPadOS 14, or Android 11.” ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2020-03-19, version 8.2.0* Forced to use this system by the company I work for and all I have to say is it’s pointless, slow to load if it does, can’t use off line even if documents saved, absolutely useless ### 1/5 — I may as well use paper *2020-03-15, version 8.2.0* This app has become useless to myself and anyone else in the large company I work for. It has become commonplace for procedures to not be checked before a task, because of the horrible search functionality and regular freezing/crashing. Who coded this rubbish? The solution for myself is to download all of the files, use a PDF editor to merge all of the files and search the one large document on a separate PDF reader app. What a holistic business solution workspaces has provided us. #worstspaces ### 1/5 — Recent update crash *2019-07-21, version 8.0.0* Please update again. The recent update isn’t allowing the app to load on my iPad Pro. ### 1/5 — Leaves a lot to be desired. *2018-11-30, version 6.1.2* Leaves a lot to be desired. Offline search is useless. Our company used to have A very good app but changed to this. I wouldn’t recommend this app. ### 1/5 — Horrible, Zero stars *2018-11-29, version 6.1.1* This is one of the worst apps I’ve used for viewing documents. It crashes every time I try to search within a document and you have to sign in every time you want to use it. I only got it because it was required for a class but I would never recommend this to anyone. ### 1/5 — Updated 4/22/16 *2016-04-22, version 4.0.0* Made it even worse . ### 1/5 — Crap crap and more crap *2016-01-30, version 3.9.0* This thing crashed on launch ### 1/5 — Horrible *2015-09-06, version 3.8.0* You can't read your documents because there is your email plastered over every page. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works fine *2020-01-10, version 8.2.0* Definitely a great app. Haven’t had any problems with it ### 5/5 — Perfect for sharing my docs quickly *2014-10-30, version 3.5.0* Good way to make sure prying eyes stay off my info. ### 5/5 — Truly killer app for productivity *2013-06-15, version 2.9.3* Can't imagine life before this app. Now I have access to all my files anywhere I am. Love the built-in annotations and file searching. Works reliably, even gives me offline access to folders. ### 5/5 — Great app *2013-05-14, version 2.9.2* Very useful, works as intended. ### 5/5 — Awesome App : Easy and Secure *2013-04-04, version 2.9.1* If you want complete ease of use AND you want to be able to control your documents anywhere on any device then this is the app for you. I use it on iPhone, iPad, MBA OSX and my Windows 7 virtual machine on my MBA. It let's me sync documents automatically across all four devices, no intervention on my side. It let's me send those documents securely and retain control of them after they arrive, so I can decide at any time who has access and what they can do, even after I have sent the documents. It allows me to publish a secure workspace or data room so I can share documents for collaboration. And finally, it lets me edit and annotate any document securely on any device, whether I have the app or not, even streaming for example, Excel to my iPad if needed. It doesn't get better than that. Simply awesome!! The best productivity tool I have. ### 5/5 — Secure Enterprise File Sharing Solution *2012-12-05, version 2.8.3* This app is a great compliment to the WatchDox secure file sharing solution. It allows access to my sensitive files on the go from my iOS devices. ### 5/5 — Great app. Very helpful *2010-11-22, version 0* Nice extension ### 4/5 — Nice *2023-09-28, version 11.5.0* Nice app but face id isn’t work correctly, so please update and improve ### 4/5 — IOS Application update needed *2022-07-02, version 11.5.0* Please update the BlackBerry Works spaces application to work with Apple iPad IOS split screen feature (the three small dots at the top center) ### 4/5 — Not able to share to workspace from the photos app *2018-07-23, version 5.4.0* Great app, however I cannot share from the photos app to Workspaces as it does not show up as an option. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
