- For security reasons, the app should support the latest iOS release and 1 version back only.
- The app should follow all iOS development security best practices.

A very nice start
By JTK1966 (Pcmac user)
Fortinet has a very long history of being an innovator, this App servers to continue that tradition.
It has issues, but as a starting point it is a very strong start for easing the time and effort for deployment and management of Fortinet solutions.
I am very excited about this App and have very high hopes for future releases.

Did they try it?
By DanPl (Pcmac user)
Installed the app and logged in. Did what was asked of me to download firmware. No joy. Seems that it was not tested. The firmware was clearly in the file sync area.

Appears Abandoned
By RomulusX (Pcmac user)
It's a great idea to be able to physically connect an iOS device and manage a Fortinet firewall with it. However, since the app does not appear to work with an iOS 9 device, it suggest the app was abandoned at the end of 2014. I would love to see it revived, and would gladly pay for a fully functional/maintained version. If revived, it should--I think--at least cover the following:
- All functionality/configuration should be available via an ipad/ipadPro device
- For security reasons, the app should support the latest iOS release and 1 version back only. iOS devices have one of the highest cyberattack resistance (integrity of the device), but that quickly fades with each new iOS release.
- Follow all the iOS development security best practices.
Would love to see (and Pay!) it.
