Spams false notifications - otherwise fine

By Nickbl (Pcmac user)

The app does its job when it comes to vpn connection. However, when your internet blips (say switches from WiFi to cellular, or from no service to service) you get a push notification that says “connection failure” - but this means nothing as the app gracefully reconnects so the notification is useless. Also if you disable the notifications the app prompts you every time you open it to enable them, which is also a pain.
Just the worst

By Lock smith (Pcmac user)

This thing can’t reconnect for crap. When it does have trouble reconnecting, it goes into a panic mode, constantly spamming reconnect errors. It doesn’t give you a chance to fix the issue in settings. Instead it overrides anything you do to say it can’t connect! You have to uninstall it and reinstall in order for it to shut up and give you a chance to fix the issue. Don’t use this. I’m just forced to use this for work. It’s just the worst
SLoooooooow to update....

By dhow2 (Pcmac user)

Every year when new iOS comes out this app is broken for some amount of time. Isn’t that why developers have access to betas ahead of public release??? To test their apps with that new release and get things worked out ahead of it? Literally this is the only app I usually have issues with at iOS update time.
Don’t tell me to contact my IT support team

By iPhonePhreakazoid (Pcmac user)

This app stinks. No feedback that it is trying to connect. Nothing. Agree with the sentiment that the second worse thing is the desktop app. I’m a cloud architect and see accounts all the time moving their crappy PANs up to the public cloud and having to buy dozens of them. Time to stop that madness and recommend alternatives.
