### 1/5 — Useless apl

*2026-05-18, version 3.2.0*

Does the app has support or they read these reviews to consider fixing the app?

### 2/5 — SDK Update - Dark Mode

*2026-01-08, version 3.2.0*

Since the SDK update, if the iOS system is set for dark mode, then the app trys to respond to that. Appears that the app was not tested with dark mode, and now you can't read a bunch of text. So....fix dark mode?
2026-Dark mode still not fixed

### 1/5 — Still Buggy

*2026-01-08, version 3.2.0*

It’s 2026 and the app still doesn’t properly support dark mode, and upon disconnecting from the VPN a blank white page with an infinite loading spinner appears. Where is the QA testing?

### 1/5 — Literally doesn’t work

*2025-11-28, version 3.1.1*

The app doesn’t work don’t waste your time calling IT, Going the extra mile to make it happen. Trust me. It’s genuinely terrible

### 5/5 — Works flawlessly

*2025-10-19, version 3.1.1*

Works flawlessly

### 4/5 — iOS 26で接続できない⇒解決しました

*2025-09-24*

2025/09/24 追記
接続確認ができました。
問題はVPNサーバ側の管理者設定でiOSのバージョン確認でiOS 2x.xxが許可されていなかったのが原因でした。
申し訳ありませんでした。

後、改善いらいがあります。
iPhoneの画面設定をダーク　モードにするとF5 Accessアプリ画面の下部に並ぶ3個のボタンのうち非選択の2個が見えない状態となります。
改善頂けると有難いです。

------------------------
iPhone 17 Pro Max 、iPhone 16 でiOS 26の環境下で接続出来なくなりました。
接続時に「ネットワーク アクセス接続設定を取得できません」と表示されて接続失敗します。

少なくとも先日、iPhone 15 Pro Max のiOS 18.6.2 環境下では接続出来ていました。
新しい iOS 26に対応していますでしょうか？

アプリを削除して再インストールをしても改善しません。

### 1/5 — Server Error

*2025-06-24, version 3.1.0*
