Content - Workspace ONE App Reviews

Its would be difficult to outline all the problems with this app so I will just highlight a few: - no high level sync, every file has to be manually downloaded and manually synced every time anything changes - filenames are not visible if they are longer than a certain number of chars so they are indistinguishable - the interface is clunky and slow, the icons make no sense ... copy is available on a folder but doesnt copy the folder contents ... pretty useless Devs ... take a look at GoodReader and just copy that, its not like you have to invent any concepts.

My employer, a large bank, switched to Airwatch and it is the worst business app Ive ever seen. Breaks constantly, if IOS updates it makes the app unusable. Totally unreliable. I pray we switch to something else SOON!

Clearly no one is listening as there has been no response to my post and further features are being removed. Most recently Ive lost the ability to edit pdf pages and add colored boxes to block unimportant text and allow the important text to remain unaltered. Im not sure what the feature is called but it simply disappeared. It was located just below the add photo feature in the selectable menu that allows highlighting, adding arrows, and writing on the page. I hope this was an oversight and the feature will be restored. Original review......Im not pleased with the new structure of the update I received today. It feels very imposing and "in your face." There is significant on screen real estate wasted on folder contents. Large blocks or the entire width of the screen if you select list view? Id like to see an ability to switch back to the previous view with folder son the left and tabbed docs on the right (landscape view). Also, Im having difficulties finding pending transfers and optional downloads. My employer does not force all content and now it seems more difficult to find. Im sure you added background features stabilizing the program and increasing security but dont change the face of an app for the end user. We rely on this for important time sensitive document retrieval and this update, while may be "better" for some, has decreased the user interface. Yeah, Ive been playing with this for a bit. I want my folders back. Split screen. Folders on the left and docs on the right. Please! Sorry to be harsh...this update was a downgrade.

This app does not have enough functionality to justify its size. 193MB?!? Time to rein it in guys!

While this gives access to shared folders, it doesnt have great integration with other iOS apps. I use Microsoft OneNote regularly but this app doesnt even recognize it and allow me to open a OneNote notebook. Really, this app is only for read-only use and even then, its barely average.

This app keeps wiping my device even though I have only approved apps installed. Please help! It has wiped critical data at some of the worst time. Huge time waster to set my device back up. 2 hours each time. Ugh...

Completely unusable. So many better options out there.

Airwatch Content Locker is fairly unstable. On many occasions you are booted out of the app and have to relaunch, enter password and then relocated material that you were viewing. Some content downloaded in Content Locker does not open, but there is no way to delete content so that you can attempt to redownload. No ability to file content in user defined folders. This would benefit organization when there is a large amount of content.

I got this app through my company and it is fantastic. New version has ability to import external content. Two thumbs way up

How did this unstable, balky and generally bad app make it to the app store? It is unfortunate that many will be forced to use such an unpleasant app on such a wonderful device.

Is one star as low as I can go.....? This is the app my employer has chosen for its first venture into electronic document distribution. It is a great app if you like the following: Crashes - it does this a lot. Unreliable file updates - notifications are not to be trusted for accuracy and often new files will not update old files properly which kills both the old and the new version of a file. Slow rendering and shockingly bad viewing performance. Screen redraws and slow performance with anything that has graphics. You get a lot of practice zooming! Want good performance and stability? Get GoodReader. Scary MDM policy. My employer makes use of this optional, yet if I want electronic documents (I do) this app is the only approved reader I can use. This is NOT company issued hardware - it is mine. In order to use this app for work related documents the MDM policy requires me to approve total control of content by AirWatch. Apple should be embarrassed that this app was approved. It takes no advantage of any of the many iPad features engineered by Apple. It is a totally unreliable POS.

Unreliable, Crashes and locks up often. Of course when it crashes you have to put the password in to get back in and hope you will have some time before another crash. No ability to note or highlight documents; Little flexibility; Poor sorting capability; Poor search function. Make sure you put a short password on it or you will be typing constantly. It does allow a company to limit what workers use the reader for. If you are interested in that, it works. However, the price for that security and selectivity is an unreliable app and miffed employees.

Terrible reader. Places handcuffs on all my data.

I prefer it to some of the major content management players like box.

Love the app and easy to use. Keeps everything organized and synced with corporate documents.

This app mines all your data and activities all the time!

This is great for the IT department in that Air Watchs MDM is rated highly. However from an end users perspective, Content Locker is one of the worst readers on the market. Youll have to have your IT department set this up for you. You cant buy a reader from the App Store that is this bad on your own.

Horrible. Crashes all the time. Needs more/better functionality. File management is not at all intuitive. Unfortunately Im stuck with it (work). To the developers - please fix it. To work (you know who you are) - please switch to Goodreader.

Descent app when it works. Problem is, it rarely works. My current version crashes every time I open it, as opposed to half the time on previous versions. If youre fortunate enough to get it to run, dont bother trying to update files as this rarely works. Aside from essentially not being able to use it or update your files, the developers should give themselves a pat on the back for conjuring up a wonderfully useless app!

Good app but would be a lot better if you could copy and paste off the documents. Please work on this AirWatch!! Other than that good app to have handy!
