First, for those writing the bad reviews: do not install any app if you do not understand what it does. Lookup AirWatch on the Internet and understand they are in the business of providing companies solutions to secure and manage mobile devices. If this app is blocking functionality on your phone it's because your company has pushed a policy to disable that functionality. Uninstall can be blocked by your company. The only reason not 5 star - last update may 2014. Still waiting on full Knox support.
Need this app for work and can't even use it. Now it's stuck on the opening screen and won't let me connect to the work server. Tried to uninstall and it says to deactivate first, when I try to deactivate it says that it needs to be deactivated by the administrator. On my last phone it wiped everything so I lost all my contacts, music and pictures. This is the worst!
This app can't be uninstalled. Tried unchecking it as a device administrator but there's no option to uncheck. Does anyone know a way to get rid of this app without a factory settings reset? (It forced me to password lock the screen and it's getting annoying now that I don't need it anymore)
While reading the reviews one would think the app doesn't work. For the technical advance users, app works fine. I'm using it on Galaxy Note 3. My employer uses this and it works flawless. So I agree with others who say blame your company own IT department. Mines is better than yours! Airwatch along side this background interface work great as well. If you don't understand this app, sure, you're to rate it poor but for those that understand it, stand by it. You be the judge! Thanks Airwatch! Follow me in Google+!
Pls consider the one star rating as 0.1. Why wud u not allow a simple feature of fingerprint scanning to remain active. Dont u pay ur IT folks well? Anyways fir people wanting to u onstall it..you have to first goto device admin settings and uncheck airwatch..then uninstall as anyother app.
Give bad reviews to your IT department / Airwatch administrators, as they're most likely the real problem, not the application itself. (Except for a few legitimate reviews I've seen) Of course, don't give a bad review to your IT department if you haven't bothered to bring the issue to them yet! Thanks
Blocking all my apps and phone calls. I can't uninstall it very very annoying. Probably a law suite is needed a lots of users are complaining about it and we might seek legal help if this can't be fixed right away by the app creaters.
I need this app for work use. And I agree with a previous post. The finger print not being used is a poor choice. Apple 5 users can use theres. When did Samsung become second rate. Please fix this.
New update 6 times a day, can't Uninstall, can't deactivate. Freezes phone every time it has to update, and the app won't open. Unless you truly hate yourself and want to make your life miserable, do not get this app. I've even tried to email the developer of this app. No email back.
We've had so many issues trying to manage our enterprise Samsung Android phones using Airwatch. Android users should avoid this product as they seem more focused on Apple/iPhone. Samsung coverage looks like a money grab.
Too bad the fingerprint scan is not an option to unlock my Note 4. It may have something to do with company security policies but why does the iPhone with Touch ID work. I hope this option is made available as well.
Want this app removed and unable to do so.
It wont run on note5. I cannot uninstall it either. It keep saying that i have to deactivate it first but it wont let me eithet. Now this thing is stuck in my phone.
Utter garbage, causes the home and recent app buttons to be disabled. They've known about this issue for over a year and nothing has been done about it
This app didn't worked properly and moreover I am not able to uninstall the app. Please help me uninstalling this app if anybody knows.
It turns out that it's unnecessary, but now I can't remove it until deactivating. Pressing the deactivate button initiates a do-loop that says I can't remove until deactivating it.
This app force me to use Airwatch inbox which is a terrible mail client. Tested on Galaxy S6
Ever since I was required to install this, my Note 2 lags frequently, and average battery consumption has increased 25%.
Does not work. Does not deactivate. Does not uninstall. What woul you do with an app this useless but having access to all sensitive information.
Fails to sync properly, drains battery, ugly interface and most importantly worst ever support.
Most pathetic application I have ever used. Installed two years back and still struggling to uninstalled this. But no luck. Totally useless.
I can't deactivate it, can't delete it off my phone and can't even get it to open up on my phone to verify my password that I need for work
So, in the car, voice activated bluetooth headset, and a desire to make a call. Turns out that I cannot make a voice activated call until I log into the phone (Samsung S3). What! I can't login while driving, so a useless lump in my jacket pocket!! Btw, if I login before setting off, the software logs me off anyway after a 10 minute timeout.....
I the Deactivate button does not work, and once installed there is no option to un-install it.
Airwatch samsung is completely not useful. Cannot open and cannot uninstall. Just sits there taking space. It makes me look differently on samsung!
It installs then brings me to a blue screen and does nothing else. Unable to make any configurations.
Not abke to uninstall this app. By this app the "usb debugging" option is getting disabled. This app is not deactivating from device adminstrator.
This stupid app has rendered my phone useless. I can't install or update any application. Please fix yesterday. MDM AGENT update still didn't fix this error. Its within this app. I hate this. When will you fix the error 26? Five months later still no fix. Can I give negative star?
After the recent update; notification area and recent app button is not working in Galaxy note 5.
Leaving a company that uses this bloatware, I unenrolled, and decided to remove admin and after: the apps. I never regained control over my lock screen settings so I reinstalled the apps to retry. Now I can't disable the Samsung service's admin nor uninstall it. Few more attempts and I fear nothing other than a wipe remains. Booooooo vmware. Embarrassing this software.
