Have had to shut phone off because of app issues. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2024-11-06* Fortinet support is useless. They should be embarrassed ### 1/5 — terrible *2024-10-09* inundate crush after my work place switched to forticlient, yet forticlient published a case study boasting the results. ### 2/5 — Disappointing lack of reliability *2024-03-06* Always going down. Constant issues when compared to our previous VPN software. We are told it's a better VPN, but we haven't seen it from a user reliability perspective. ### 1/5 — Too many issues *2024-02-28* We have had nothing but issue after issue with this VPN. Up and down all day. Many conflicts with other software. No sure why our IT department changed from our reliable VPN to this piece. Issues on both Windows and iOS. ### 1/5 — Hugo Problems *2023-12-04* – Problems with opening the App - no correct DNS Settings - Not connecting Tor EMS Server ### 2/5 — Disconnects and connects *2023-11-28* Occasionally disconnects and reconnects rapidly over and over ### 1/5 — VPN tab keeps disappearing *2023-11-17* VPN tab keeps disappearing. I always have to uninstall, reinstall, and set up the VPN from scratch. This happens every few days. ### 1/5 — App is horrible and SAML SSL never works *2023-11-02* They keep removing negative reviews as well confirming this same issue with other users. ### 1/5 — Password remembering *2023-08-30* It doesn't save password. 1 star is a maximum and only for this!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work and drain battery *2023-08-04* The battery gets drained even when VPN is not ON. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Even worse now *2026-07-23* This update makes it impossible to even turn the VPN on. And every method I read to fix it says to turn it off, turn it on, or turn my phone off and then turn it on again. I don’t have time for this when I’m on a traffic stop and have to go thru this whole rigmarole just to do my job. This app is awful. ### 1/5 — Não funciona com ZTNA via EMS *2026-03-30* É frustrante uma aplicação desse nível de importância não funcionar, chega beirar o ridículo, vou voltar para o OpenVPN ### 1/5 — Can not save password *2026-03-06* For some reason I can’t not save password anymore, ### 1/5 — Poor reliability *2025-08-07* I’ve had so many issues with FortiClient on both Mac and iPhone. On the iPhone, it has such a hard time connecting to the vpn and gives me an error majority of the time. It also makes it impossible to use other apps and even web browser. It slows the speed or blocks it completely. Such a pain ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-08-07* Terrible ### 1/5 — Why is this app in French? *2025-06-30* I am from Germany and I have no idea why this app switches to French when I open it. For a second it’s in English but all of a sudden it changes… ### 1/5 — iOS support limited *2025-06-13* DNS resolving does not work. You have to enter IP addresses instead of hostnames (even in FQDN format) to access your LAN devices through VPN. ### 1/5 — Constantly booting us out *2025-05-20* I don’t know if it’s hard to set up or if overall the app is horrible. Our company switched to this a week ago and it is extremely frustrating. Even when actively doing tasks we get booted. Turn your back for a minute or two, you are booted. I have even had the VPN icon on in the corner and work apps still wouldn’t work and I would have to go open FortiClient again, let it close itself out and start again. Someone I know kept getting booted out of meetings, too. Would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Works just fine… *2025-03-15* … until it doesn’t! We have huge issues with auto-connect. It just freezes, you don’t even notice it and when it happens you lose you data connection! You are completely offline! As of now, auto connect is unusable! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2024-11-19* Doesn’t stay connected ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — v8.0 finally fixes autoconnect *2026-05-14* FortiClient has been a pain in the past, but the major upgrade to 8.0 finally brings many fixes. The ones I have been working for the most are autoconnect, even if the app is in the background. ### 5/5 — Funciona perfeitamente *2025-10-16* Utilizando para finalidades de ZTNA e VPN ### 5/5 — 好的 *2025-09-27* 好的 ### 5/5 — Good *2025-04-13* Very Good App ### 5/5 — Fixed a few issues *2025-04-02* Looks like this version it fixed a issue unable to get sso port ### 5/5 — Ótimo app *2024-10-18* Ótimo app ### 5/5 — Do your research, it works great! *2024-06-11* When planned and provisioned correctly, it does everything we need it to. ### 4/5 — Not easy to turn off ) *2025-01-20* It’s easy to enable but it can be very difficult to disable or change the protocol or server. ### 3/5 — Works, but could be better *2023-10-07* App has consistently improved although there still needs to be better implementation of SSLVPN to avoid random disconnects and/or initial connection issues. Integration with FortiToken also requires more attention. All in all, IOS version is less reliable than desktop app. ### 3/5 — French translations are bad *2022-12-17* Bad French translations.
