Hard work

They dominate the market but everything is so inconsistent, fails 50% of the time and they are so hard to deal with

Bad user experience for connections handling!

There is no any button for connection removal

fix plz..

MFA is not working with ipsec mode
where is popup for MFA code?

Works like a charm!

Seeing the negative reviews had me going in with the expectation that it wouldn’t work. Idk if they fixed whatever the issue was for everyone else, but I was able to connect to my work’s VPN that uses Forticlient from my phone without issue.

I would say that if you can’t connect, try enabling “Single sign on” when setting it up. Whenever I normally sign in thru forticlient I am redirected and once I enabled that and tried again, I got my redirect on my phone and was able to sign in like normal

Authenticator Issues

My org has us sign in to Microsoft and I need to authorize via the Microsoft Authenticator app. After approving the requesting on Authenticator, this app does nothing. I had to manually enter a one time pass code, and that thankfully worked.

Ios 15

Ios 15 can’t connect

No 2FA allowed for IPSEC VPN connections

As title. Use either an Android device or turn off 2fA

Out of date; you get what you pay for

Wholly unable to connect to our new FG-121G because the this client doesn’t support the settings that the desktop version does. And we’re not about to reduce our security posture because of an obsolete free client.

If you absolutely need VPN on iOS consider a different solution than FortiGate. Clearly a modern working iOS client is not a priority for Fortinet.

쓰레기앱

팝업 호출 구조를 잘못짰는지, 아이디 비번 입력하고.. 이메일 토큰 팝업창이 나와야 하는데 확률적으로 떴다 안떳다 함 이따위로 앱 만들어서 팔아먹고 잘 하는 짓이다.

Does not work with SSO

I receive an invalid response error when using SSO. The paid FortiClient works fine using the VPN tab which appears the same as this app (and it is not required to have a license to use so I will be using that app instead.)

2FA otp broken on iPhone

On the iPhone for version 7.4.7 the OTP popup screen doesn’t appear. It is fine on an iPad. All running most current iOS (15.5)

Token input popup does not open

Sometimes token input popup does not open.

When this issue is discovered, the login popup appears twice when trying to connect and then second login popup disappears immediately.

인증코드 넣는 창 사라짐

저번에도 그러고 맨날 이러는거임?..

쓰레기앱

인증코드 입력하는 창이 계속 사라짐, 매번 OS 업데이트 할때마다 이러네

App is now working again with 7.4.6

App developers fixed the app

Latest update killed SSO

Just leave this thing alone already! Mine was working perfectly fine then you “fixed bugs” AND BROKE IT. Completely unusable with SSO now. still broken at 7.4.6!

Broken with 7.4.5

App doesn’t work with sso please fix.

DNS Issues

Tried to resolve internal dns in a split tunnel setup and the fix was to download the Mac client from the fortinet website rather than using this app.

Broken for iOS at the moment 7.4.5

On last weeks update (march 17th 2025) on iOS devices running 18.3.2 connecting SSL vpn with SAML causes the device to lose cellular and WiFi data even while vpn is disconnected.

VPN will not successfully pass traffic and shows disconnected but the devices will continue to have no data capability until forticlient app is closed and swiped away from the background. Sometimes required a reboot of the device as well.

This has been confirmed across Reddit and several other North American forums as a wide spread issue but so far 1 week later there has been no update pushed.

Considering we pay a lot for my firewall licensing and 400 forticlient ems licenses it really feels like a slap in the face to be ham stringed by the free “We’ll fix it when we get to it” app for our corporate mobile devices..

I am anxiously awaiting the update so my execs can do their time approvals and such on the road…

I know that Fortinet ain’t Cisco and doesn’t claim to be. And doesn’t have the infinite R&D budget Cisco does…

but between the windows VPN app that gets hung up if adobe acrobat saves personal certificates, which made me have to pay for 400 licenses for EMS…. and the mobile app that breaks or wipes out saved connections every other update I’m starting to get fed up..

if other small companies can do better with their releases there’s no reason Fortinet can’t either.
