Need an update for vSphere 6
God;8:):?2
Based on what I read on the VMware forums, the port for the console had changed in VMware 6. The app has not been updated to reflect that, causing the console (the most important feature!) to not work. It seems like they have forgotten about this app, as there have forum posts about this issue since December.
Text layout issues on 6 plus
dison4linux
I'm not sure how it looks on other iOS devices but on the 6 plus the text is garbled making the app just about unusable.
Please update for iPhone 6 / 6s Plus!

Please update for the plus phones. The text is also jumbled together and overlays the labels.
UI Bugs on iPhone 6/6s, Console Broken
Oneota
Text values are overlayed with placeholder text (like “Title” and “Value”) on iPhone 6/6s, leading to illegible UI issues. Console feature is broken if ESXi or vCenter is running version 6. No one at VMware seems to remember that they developed this app, or have any particular interest in keeping it updated for modern hardware and their own server software.
Terribly Unstable

This app crashed several times in a 10 minute span while I was performing different actions. I do not recommend this at all.
Poor text
SchuTech
The app works great and with a vpn client it has saved me a lot of time. The text in several areas is written with both the default value and the actual property value on top of each other. Sometimes very hard to read.
Absolutely worthless- big piece of junk
sietec
It is amazing to me that a company which has products that cost as much as VMware products cost, not to mention their huge push toward full mobile environment, that they put so little effort into creating quality apps. It's embarrassing, IMHO, and needs to be corrected immediately. Look at the fact that virtually, no pun intended, every one of their AppStore apps has between a 1-2 star rating. So, my review changes from 4 stars to negative, if available, but one since not. My Review from Several years ago: When I first started using this app I guess about a year ago, it was really fairly worthless. All you could do is take a look at virtual machines and power them on or off and see a screenshot of the console. There was limited support for performance monitoring, and the console was simply a static screenshot which required a manual pull-down refresh in order to get the vCenter Server to grab another .png and deliver it to your phone. Further, the only real “monitoring” that could be done was throwing an alert if a VM powered off unexpectedly. Now, console access is functional, the performance charts - while still somewhat limited- at least provide the most important metrics for the past hour, both for VMs and ESXi hosts. The ease of adding monitor groups is a 10 fold improvement and the task + event lists puts the finishing touches on an app that is well on its way toward becoming the SysAdmin's best friend. For the people who have these negative reviews- two things: 1. You didn't pay a cent for this app. If you don't like it, delete it. There are plenty of non-free apps you can buy to manage your virtual environment. 2. The issues with the console interaction...Google it and you'll find a KB article which tells you what YOU did wrong or have not yet DONE in order for this feature to work. I had the same problem a while back and it's a simple fix. The only problem I noticed with this release is that when reviewing event logs and choosing the filters from the top of the screen, the listView (which happens to be modal) panel gets stuck and cannot be released. At that point the only solution I have found is to kill the app and relaunch it. (It seems like it is not resigning first responder) Otherwise, this app is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from me all day long.
Not working Vcenter 6.0

This works with older versions of Vcenter. 5.5 and 4.1 if you have 6.0 or higher this app is not fully functional. No remote console.
