Latest reviews of AirWatch Inbox app for iPhone and iPad
Junk with no notifications and crappy support. Waste of money.
While Airwatch may be winning over Corporate Technology Officers because of encryption it is a terrible experience for users/employees. Most recent update claiming that they have improved Calendar experience is the exact opposite. Any appointments booked within last week are now not showing in my calendar. For iOS users there is no option to set out of office messages, whereas for Andriod users this is an option. Any email that includes graphics means that you have to import image into Content App which does not work. It takes 2 or 3 attempts to see anything and just not acceptable in an age where most emails include graphics of some sort. Not sure if this update was trying to fix calendar availability but competitor products allow you to know if internal colleagues are available prior to book a meeting. Also calendar does not show whether individual in a group invite has accepted or declined invite. Companion Browser App works about 20% of the time, which means it is not reliable for access company intranet. All in all, this is a poor app that has detracted from overall employee experience. More and more I am considering moving back to a Blackberry and carrying two devices. In fact since Airwatch has become our company Byod provider I am often carrying two devices as I am bringing my laptop with me. Airwatch must have a great sales team, too bad software engineers are not as gifted. Reaching tipping point for me.
As tedious and trying as the Good App was that my company was using, this App is HORRIBLE and should be renamed as such. The calendar only shows one day of events/appointments rather than being able to see the week or month at a glance. I now have to delete emails in both Outlook and this HORRIBLE App. The folder functionality stinks as all folders and sub fielders are either all open or all closed. Any IT person approving or recommending this app should be fired immediately.
Font is huge and no way to adjust. Too bad because its a decent MDM solution.
I eventually was able to get it working on the iPhone by deleting and reinstalling, but nothing is working for the iPad. Ive reinstalled it about 10 times, it just keeps going to "configuring..." with a "please wait..." box and unclickable "i" and eventually says "Not Configured" with contact your admin, etc and unclickable "try again". Cant get to settings to configure or un-enroll, just a cycle of getting nowhere
