VMware Horizon Client Reviews

Does not support apple Smart Keyboard or Magic Keyboard.

Bubbly fun!

VMware Horizon client no longer supports Apple Smart Keyboard and Magic Keyboard as the last version used to. Space key does not register an on screen response as you would expect, it simply jumps to the next line. Please fix. The old client was working fine.

Usable but just barely

Two big problems: 1) Every time I login, it resets the resolution of my session and messes up every single window from my last login from my high resolution windows PC. 2) Does not work in horizontal mode on my iPhone. I will just have to avoid it.

Does not support external keyboard on 2021 iPad Pro

My2328

on 2021 iPas Pro 12.9”, using Apple’s Magic Keyboard, when I tried to write an email, I cannot add a space after typing a word. It works on my 2020 iPad pro 12.9” with the same Magic Keyboard. Please fix the issue asap.

Get rid of the absurd keyboard bar

This app is one seemingly easy fix away from being a 4+* app. Whenever presented a text entry field you get a useless white bar at bottom of the screen. Your desktop then resizes. It isnt huge, but on an iPad every millimeter of screen real estate is precious. The firm I work for is an enterprise vmware client. I submitted an issue to them to see if there was any way to get rid of it. They ended up saying it was an iOS issue. Meantime I started using the Microsoft Remote Desktop client and they seem to have found a way around this issue because it isnt there. Other than this glaring issue the app works for the most part.

Almost perfect

The mouse support is great. I had a problem with slow desktop load, but used a different server address and much faster, so that’s not a Horizon issue

The remote login worked great then stopped connecting. It just gave the error message that the internet was too slow to make a connection. Desktop loading warning, Your desktop is loading too slowly because of poor network connection. Please try to switch to another network or contact your help desk for assistant. I’ve tried 4 different internets mine, friends, and even Starbucks. I logged in that morning no problem and then a couple of hours later cant login again. Fix fast.

Almost 5 stars

Client is working well with iPad Pro and mouse/keyboard/external monitor. I’d love to see true multiple monitor support rather than presentation mode, but I think this is more an iOS limitation. At least in this client I’m able to get full screen on my external monitor. The only issue I’m having is after I upgraded to iOS 15, the idle screen in the horizon client has changed from black to bright white. This is a real battery drain and it’s energy inefficient on the external monitor. Can the developer change tweak the client so it’s black on idle timeout when running on iOS 15? When I was on iOS 14 it was black. Otherwise, 5 stars. Thanks.

Do you, the developers, even care about this app?

This app crashes about once every fifteen minutes when connected to my remote work desktop. I’ve been experiencing these issues for a while now, and have seen similar complaints in the App Store reviews from when I downloaded the app over a year ago. This isn’t a new thing, nor is this app Candy Crush. People literally depend on apps like this for paying their bills and you have repeatedly shown your ineptitude and complacency in resolving these issues. If I had an alternative, I would use it. This app is a heap of junk and its implementation is so atrocious it’s practically criminal. Shame on you, you money grabbing, self serving troglodytes.

Magic keyboard

It does not let me use the space button. I just got the new iPad Pro and I’ve been having problems this whole time. I work exclusively from home which makes its very frustrating that I need to use your keyboard instead. Please fix

External monitor still letter boxing on all 4 sides

So last update did address the keyboard shortcuts, Thank for that. But we need correct external display support, right now you still end up with black bars on all 4 sides. Last it would be great to bring audio redirect for things like Zoom, similar to how it is on MacOS
