### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-05-18, version 3.00.66*

Invalid XML received… what’s the point of paying all that money for licenses

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2026-05-03, version 3.00.66*

Come on N-able, why is it taking so long to get an update to this app that currently doesn’t work with your released version of the server?

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2025-06-21, version 3.00.66*

Un-able to login due to the mfa token field being covered by the login button.

### 1/5 — No SSO login

*2025-03-26*

Not able to login with sso credentials.

### 1/5 — Nothing but issues

*2024-06-06*

It’s always something with this app. Issues with logging in, issues staying connected during a session, and now can’t even log in if 2FA is enabled. Like, come on guys. We pay to use Solarwinds. Give us a working mobile app..

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2024-05-16*

Can’t sign in with sso which makes this app completely unusable

### 1/5 — Terrible!!

*2023-10-18*

Doesn’t work the vast majority of times you can actually connect, and when you can, the functions don’t work at all. 
Absolute trash.

### 1/5 — Going away?

*2023-07-09*

Although the app is pretty bad, I do use it. But their most recent update description is very misleading. Is the app going away? Will they replace it with a good web based version? When I’m remote without my laptop, maybe just an iPad, am I unable to support devices by September?

### 1/5 — Really?

*2023-06-16*

This app is terrible, and also doesn’t appear to support SSO sign in, despite it throwing an error that I need to sign in with SSO.

### 1/5 — Inexplicably lacks SSO support

*2023-04-22*

For all the fanfare for adding SSO to N-central, the app lacks any support for it.
