Google Device Policy for Negative User Reviews

Doesn’t workKeeps saying ‘to use apps for work, update them’ - I click accept and it starts to update, then nothing happens. Really frustrating.Version: 3.17

Incredibly annoyingJust a bad experience all round, it’s hard to install correctly and even harder to uninstall. Random, annoying, uninformative pop ups keep appearing and it’s a pain to get rid (still trying in fact).Version: 3.14

Privacy ConcernThis app is a monitoring app that has access to your entire phone’s content. Think of 1984, Big Brother, this is the beginning of it. If you want your employer having access to your contacts, your texts, your emails, your personal info, your browsing history, and your ability to even use your phone, by all means download this app. The point of this app I can see is for employees to make sure you do not leak information and it makes leaks easier to track since they have access to every employees info. They can also remotely wipe your phone if your phone is stolen or misplaced, so it is a huge plus for corporations in terms of security for their IP. However this will come at the expense of your privacy and autonomy. Don’t download this app at all costs..Version: 3.17

Why did you make this?I can’t access my gmail because of this thing, I’m a student that does there work using gmail so if you don’t mind can you help please. I can’t open the app without seeing the message “download our new version of google device” and when I tried fixing it by downloading the app, the damn thing doesn’t even work. If a person that made the app is reading this, please help!.Version: 3.13

What Just Happened?I’ve been accessing both my personal and company emails on the Gmail app with no issue for years, and then December 19,2019, BAM, I can’t get my business gmail account to load on my phone, stating device policy not authorized. So I downloaded this app, to no avail. I’ve spent way more time then I care to trying to resolve this, and am extremely frustrated! If anyone can explain how to fix this, please comment somewhere! Why does google have to complicate GSuite? And yes, I went to administrator page to make sure my iPhone is approved..Version: 3.11

Told me to update now won’t workI had a pop up when trying to log in after previously being able to view the day before with no issues. Had the latest version on my phone and now can’t install as get an MDM error about payload and have no access to google drive. Terrible!.Version: 3.16

Do not download without checkingMake sure it’s compatible with your work profile first.Version: 3.14

PatheticWas in middle of work this update came and removed everything associated with Google. Annoying.Version: 3.14

App is cr4pI can’t even get past the “install profile” part. It’s so silly how I can’t access my work email through my gmail app , only an useless app. Fix your $h*t google..Version: 3.16

NotificationsI am getting notification to download latest version of Google Device Policy again and again even after uninstalling it. That’s annoying!.Version: 3.16

What a jokeI need permission from my administrator to install Gmail on my iPhone. Fine, except the administrator is ME. Logging into gsuite to try to get permission is available waste of time as you have to download a pathetic certificate which is impossible using a phone. Back to Apple mail, despite paying for gsuite business. No help. No instructions. Laughable..Version: 3.07

Worst appThis is the most rubbish app produced by a tech giant. There’s no easy help to install and update device policy. I failed trying after 3 hours..Version: 3.15

Atrocious app destroys GmailImpossible to sign in from iphone and use this app rendering gmail utterly inaccessible. Terrible design what idiots.Version: 3.16

ANNAT73I completely agree with other reviews. It won’t install and error messages are all you get. No support or help offered and so can no longer access work emails on my phone. Very frustrating!.Version: 3.00

Horrible experienceWhat is it supposed to do no idea where you installed a new instructions after you install no other email account on your cell phone works do you want this account of Gmail which is a company email doesn’t respond I don’t know what is this policy supposed to do.Version: 3.14

5 star for functionality but 1 star for usabilityI will give this app 5 star for functionality but 1 star for usability. Once it’s properly configured, it works great, but configuring it took me some time and effort since the UI is very user-unfriendly. At the end of profile installation, there is a line of text on the screen saying something like copying the URL to Safari. I was switching to a new iPhone, I think the text might even be cut off or something on the screen. I was expecting simply clicking some buttons in the installation/configuration process and therefore totally missed the text for a manual operation. I ended up in some kind of weird incomplete installation loop for a couple of days until I finally read the text and did that manual operation. Reading some user feedback, I think that’s probably what’s tripped some other users as well. Please make that manual operation more apparent! Hope this can help some people..Version: 3.14

WHYYYYWhy do I need this it doesn’t even work.Version: 3.14

SpywareSpyware. Remember google/admin is watching everything you do, and pooling usage data for their own insights. Bit of a bummer if your company forces you to use this garbage on your personal phone (sigh). I literally delete the profile and reinstall it every weekend to retain some semblance of privacy..Version: 3.16

Not WorkingIt used to work so fine and perfect until I encountered some difficulties and now when I try to use my google drive it doesn’t want to work even after I downloaded this app. It’s the absolute worst and they need to fix or remove this app. I already uninstalled it but I was planning on installing it again but then I say the reviews saying things like it’s stealing data and documents from your phone and don’t even get me started with this app now stealing and hiding apps. It’s a no for me..Version: 3.14

Doesn’t workIt keeps telling me to install the latest version. I doesn’t work.Version: 3.16

A joke appMan just get rid of this app it’s a joke.Version: 3.14

Confusing and pointlessI am the Admin and it has locked me out, even though on the dashboard it says approved. Also the instructions are incorrect it asks you to click into areas that don’t exists. It’s PANTS.Version: 3.14

Doesn’t workAnd now can’t get my business gmail on my iPhone 12.... hopeless..Version: 3.14

I HATE THIS APPI get a pop up after every 2 minutes WHYYY!!!!.Version: 3.14

Why?Just tell me why I need to install this. Terrible app ui but most importantly still don’t know why I need it. Clearly someone from a big corporate got a job at google..Version: 3.04

Absolutely GarbageI have a test due tomorrow and I have been working on it for school a little bit so I downloaded because it said I had to download this app to use google docs before I even got the app it made me a bit unsettled that it said the app had access to my phone but of course I expected so I could work on my essay which is a test grade by the way and it said that my school administrators had to accept my account to even use the app so now I can’t work and it’s all this apps fault I used to be able to do tons of productive work on my mobile phone and as a broke student I wasn’t going to buy a laptop when I could do all my work on my phone now I am thinking I should get one. Do not download this app. Also side note really creepy how I can’t revoke the permission I gave my administration to have access to my phone, also now gonna fail this test because of this stupid update please remove..Version: 3.09

UselessI’m trying to use google classroom but I need to download this app and now I need to install a profile in to my iPad just to use it and now I can’t do my school work because of this.Version: 3.13

Biggest waste of timeApp doesn’t even do anything nor does it even work so slow and doesn’t load.Version: 3.19

Causing troubleI keep getting a prompt to install this damn policy app while in Google drive and can’t access my drive due to the prompt..Version: 3.14

I hate my lifeOk so basically don’t get this app if your a student. this app holds not right to access so much information on my phone, most of which isn’t even needed for google docs. i have an URGENT project that needs to get done and i cannot because of this filthy app. 0/10 would not recommend. i’m most likely going to do bad on my test tomorrow :,( to be frank, did google docs need an update? NO, IT DID NOT! it was perfectly fine before. this is just super problematic for students like me. if you are looking for a stressful life then this is the perfect app for you..Version: 3.09

Constant popup ruins chrome experienceEven removing the device profile and uninstalling the app doesn’t stop the popup in Chrome and of course in the app the ‘Help’ page leads nowhere. You will severely regret downloading this app - avoid at all costs..Version: 3.17

Waste of timeI’ve not been able to access my work email on my phone since this. Despite following all instructions and the email showing up as here but not loading. What a waste of time 🙈 and now a week later still no email ….Version: 3.17

Company changed to Google systemWe need agree to this to access work data. I won’t as we’re agreeing for all our personal data also to be able to be accessed. We JUST NEED TRUST they don’t! Nope!.Version: 3.12

Doesn’t work at allMy #1 award for worst App goes to Google Device Policy. Thanks to Google Device Policy, I can’t use Gmail on my phone to access all of my Gmail accounts. Back to Spark it is!.Version: 3.14

Horrible app can’t believe it’s googleConstantly asks to install latest version but i already have it. interrupts chrome browser use every few minutes EVEN AFTER UNINSTALLING. gives employer remote control permissions to wipe data from personal mobile device WITHOUT SPECIFYING WHAT DATA IN WHAT CAPACITY UNDER WHICH CONDITIONS. feels no different than a scam. some parts may be employer poor communication but functionally this app is still horrible. i’ll go without gsuite on my phone..Version: 3.16

Not trustyWhenever i download google classroom, it tell me to download this. so i did, and it told me to go to settings and give them administrator. apparently it can erase any data on your phone w/out permission. i did it, but deleted straight after. dont wanna give out my PERSONAL data to who knows who/what? cant even send photos to my teacher as proof of doing my work from home smh 😍🤤🤪 google is in their quirky phase.Version: 3.16

Does not workGmail keeps saying get latest version. I have got the latest version. What a horrible user experience. And I can access my work email..Version: 3.16

AppalledDisgusting app, doesn’t even work on the newest iPhones, everything I do just results in it telling me there’s an error 403 and there’s no way to resolve it. I am extremely unhappy with the service I received..Version: 3.16

UselessI use classroom and drive and other apps like these to do my school work but I couldn’t access them unless I downloaded this app but once I did so it was requesting access to my whole phone and to be allowed to censor and delete whatever they wanted?? I couldn’t access any of my google apps and I of course wasn’t going to use this app all in all it was useless and annoying..Version: 3.13

Constantly getting pop up to install the appI have removed the app from my phone but it constantly pop up to install the app..Version: 3.19

Google need to fix this.Googles device policy won’t let me or anyone else update there policy to 15.4!!!! This is extremely frustrating because I need this for school!!!.Version: 3.16

Stuck in an endless loop telling me to updateI have the latest but it keep asking me to update. Stuck. Can’t access my work account now..Version: 3.16

BadI can’t get into my google classroom and this app is not helping!!!.Version: 3.14

AnnoyingDeleted this app as don’t need it now but every time I open my phone a pop up asks me to download it again, bloody annoying.Version: 3.16

Simply doesn’t workAfter downloading the profile it shows „no profile currently installed“. Even after deleting and reinstalling EVERYTHING it does not work. Not the first time- disappointing, again. Do you guys run tests before release?!.Version: 3.11

Breaks every few months with no discernible causeWhen it works, it does what it’s supposed to. However, every few months, something changes somewhere and this app locks me out of my work account on my phone (Gmail will prompt me to install the latest version but the app will be up to date). This doesn’t seem tied to anything I do or characteristics of my phone — I haven’t updated the OS or anything. The error messages are incredibly unhelpful and my workspace admin doesn’t see anything amiss on their end..Version: 3.17

Locked out without recourseWon’t prompt for profile install and no option to install it. Locked out. Message just says “contact admin”..Version: 3.16

Keeps saying update app when it's updatedCan't even use it. Gets stuck in a loop while uploading profile suggesting update its own app.Version: 3.17

Absolute rubbishKeeps redirecting me to my settings app, which then sends me to this app store page despite installing the app already. Annoying pop up in chrome each time I open it. The only way to fix this is to unlink whatever work account you tried to install this app for. Do not waste your time..Version: 3.14

What the hell is thisI downloaded this app and it keeps saying that I need to download this app when I try to enter google classroom or gmail. Fix this right now because I need to hand in work.Version: 3.14

Worst app 🥰 .Extremely stupid and has absolutely no point whatsoever ..Version: 3.14

JunkI can’t access my work data. There is no update. It says I have to update the app. I have asked our head tech guy and he had no idea what the message means (telling me to get my organizational admin to give me access) I rely on my phone/tablets to have access on the go. I can’t get into any of my google stuff with my work address. Everything was fine until 24 hours ago. Total junk. Avoid this app if possible. Update: same thing happening again. There is no update, but I can’t access my work email and apps without this mysterious update..Version: 3.14

An Absolute Waste Of Anybody’s TimeIt took ages to login first of all and that wasn’t the hardest part. It kept on buffling and not connecting properly (which doesn’t happen on my other WiFi apps) so this app isn’t worth your time..Version: 3.02

Not made for small businessesThis thing has crippled us. I love Gsuite and all of google’s apps but this has made it impossible to work from my phone. It spams you with an Admin warning so you can’t access drive. it does the same for docs, sheets, and slides but if you manage to click between pop up notifications you can still use it (do not super secure if that was the intention). We don’t have an IT team so all of this is foreign to us and we don’t have the resources to fix it..Version: 3.14

Made me uncomfortableThis is my personal phone as I am a highschool student. I do not have the ability to purchase a separate phone for completing my work. I used Google Classroom on my device to upload pictures of homework, notes, and drawings as it is easier to take photos using my phone than the school issued computer. I also used google drive to upload audio recordings for my music class. This app prevents me from using these applications. When I was in the process of downloading this app, it was telling me that the administrator would have access to my information on my phone. I don’t care whether it’s my personal account or my school account, the idea of my school having weight in my PERSONAL device made me very, very uncomfortable. This has made uploading recordings and files finicky as I had to remove my apps I have relied on for the majority of my school career. It renders these apps utterly useless. Please read the other reviews people have left on this app..Version: 3.14

StupidWhat is the point in even having this useless thing? It was fine before when I used gmail, google drive and google classroom but now I can’t even access my work on my phone and iPad. I can’t even give this a one star! DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS, ITS A WASTE OF TIME..Version: 3.09

Does not workSimply put this app does not work. You just end up in an infinite loop of it asking you to install the policy.Version: 3.15

Google Device Management at its worseMy work data and all Gsuite access got revoked and prompted me to reinstall Google Device Mgmt. I had to reinstall to install it back. But reinstallation itself took very long and the download option in AppStore itself got frozen and wouldn’t work at all, even after my 1 hour and many tries..Version: 3.14

Doesn’t recognize updateDemands latest version but still fails after update. Not happy..Version: 3.07

DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!!Upon going through the extremely lengthy process to be able to use my Google Drive on my phone and make it easier to upload and work on projects, I now realized that I simply cannot work on my phone anymore. What used to be a reliable app system that Google created, is now a scam. When I went into my settings to install the profiles as asked, I was presented with “Warning: The administrator may collect personal data, add/remove accounts and restrictions, install, manage, and list apps, and remotely erase data on your iPhone.” .... WHAT?! My phone and what I do on it is not property WHATSOEVER of my school or the organizations I am volunteering or working for. Will NEVER use any Google apps anymore, and immediately uninstalling ALL of them, since they’re useless now. I’m highly disappointed that such an invasion of privacy within my own device is coming from Google. I was even thinking of getting a Pixel, but this just left a bad taste in my mouth. If I could give it 0 stars I would..Version: 3.12

Cant make it workAfter installing the profile it says go to settings app and… and there is no such an option that they say..Version: 3.16

So badIt locked me out of everything and I hate it..Version: 3.16

Terrible for google classroomsHave 2 children who both need to access their homework on google classrooms. Cannot access without this policy app but cannot have more than 1 profile account. So I have to pick my most academic child..Version: 3.14

Horrible. Glitchy and buggy.This is a truly horrible app..Version: 3.04

FrustratingI’m required to have this for my work email. However it keeps telling me to “update” the app, but then the app does not show any available updates, and keeps telling me to contact my admin. Admin has spent hours on the phone with google and I am STILL locked out of my work email and calendar... which is a HUGE problem as I am the assistant director of a small non profit organization and we need everyone to be on the same page..Version: 3.07

STOP THE UNWANTED NOTIFICATIONSDownload because I thought I’d need it for work. Turns out I don’t. Uninstalled it. Keeps popping up and feeling me to install the latest version so I can access my work stuff. Is there a way to erase it from my download history?? To stop it from harassing me?? CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW ANNOYING IT IS..Version: 3.10

Work profileOn samsung phones when google device policy is administered, an separate work profile will be created where all the G Suite apps can be found and they are not mixed-up with personal google apps of the device. If your employer want to wipe their data or user enter wrong password several time to unlock the device only the work profile is goes wiped out keeping the personal data untouched. Please add the separate work profile feature for iOS platform as well..Version: 3.05

Poor updates and Not Working.I have to use this for my organization and it was working well until 3 days ago when I was kicked out and now I am unable to log in using secure account access. I keep getting the message to upload the “new version” of Policy Manager, BUT there is no new version. I have deleted it and reinstalled with no updates or improvements. I would say the overall app is worth 1 star..Version: 3.16

Stop working with IOS 16? Cannot download it again after deleting itStop working with IOS 16? Cannot download it again after deleting it ? Workspace not working on iPhone 12.Version: 3.17

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, IT WILL TAKE OVER YOUR PHONE!!!!!!I had to access my business account only to find that I had to get ANOTHER google app. I didn’t think it would be a big deal until I had to download it into my settings, CHANGE MY PASSWORD! The old system worked perfectly well! And to top it all off, it won’t even let me access my accounts for one hour from now when I have something urgent to work on. The fact this app has so much access to your phone is absolute nonsense.Version: 3.04

The last version dont workSince the last update all of my Google apps dont work. Device policy wont Sync and tell me the application need to be updated. The problem is all of my apps are up to date and my ios to. Its a big problem because eu can't use my email / calandar and drive since more than a week now..Version: 3.16

Worst app everI needed to download this damn app to be able to use google hangouts and even after it was fully downloaded and I was signed in it still wouldn’t let me use hangouts I just want to be able to talk to my friends come on man.Version: 3.14

Completely uselessI have an Sso error now trying to attach photos on gmail… they told me to download this app… waste of time. Google is the new Microsoft- the clunky company….Version: 3.16

RedundantI don’t see the point of this app because it doesn’t work. I was notified to download this App to access Google drive and other google apps. Every time I try to use it it says “To regain access to your work account, contact your organizer’s admin.” Even though I’m using my personal email! I’ve tried using other emails and the same message will pop up or it would say that I have to sign into G suite, even though I already have. They need to fix this ASAP and the inconvenience is causing delay with attaining assignments for work..Version: 3.07

Utter RubbishI used to be able to access my gmail then I had an update come through and now unable to access!!!! Rubbish!! Comes up with failure comment every time you try and load..Version: 3.05

What is this for?Not sure what this os for? But still nce a week ago this is not syncing and now preventing me from accessing Chats and some of the other apps on my phone..Version: 3.17

Device policyVery frustrating app,locks me out and keep taking back to the same page.Version: 3.17

Let Your Company Control Your PhoneI just wanted to backup some of my photos or video on Google Drive. It forced me to download this app. However, in order to allow it works you also needs a company / school email account which I did, but by allowing this I allowed my company’s admin to access my personal phone, stuff, location and even blocking it. Worst app ever! Meant to be safe but actually losing your control of your own phone and your own privacy! I deleted it right away and hope they stopped monitoring me..Version: 3.14

Broken AppThis locked up nearly half of the online apps I use as it was trying to relentlessly force this app’s download. Safari, Need to Download Google app policy—-Facebook, Need to Download Google app policy, Chrome, You Need to Download Google app policy, Office 365, You Need to Download Google app policy….this and my company account HAD to LEAVE my phone. Never again, Google/Alphabet. Fix your G-Suite accounts so educators, professors, students, and administrators can use your product efficiently..Version: 3.17

WHAT IS THIS?This has to be the stupidest app ever created. i wanted to access the Google classroom but it wouldn’t let me and kept on prompting me to download this app so I did. and because my account is apart of a school organization it won’t let me use the app therefore I can’t use Google classroom. GO BACK TO HOW IT WAS BEFORE.Version: 3.14

WhatWhy lmao.Version: 3.14

Literally the most frustrating App everOne star only because zero stars is not an option. This app is flat out useless at doing what it’s supposed to do. The frustrating merry-go-round process goes like this: 1) Download and install the App on your device. 2) From the app, log into your Gsuite corporate account, accept your companies device policies and install the managed profile onto your device. 3) open any google app and/chrome browser installed on your device to be immediately greeted with the follow notification “Install the latest version of Google device policy so you can access your work data”. From there you have two options, hit cancel or go to App Store. 4A) if you hit cancel you’ll be able to proceed with using the app, but as soon as you leave the app and reopen it again, boom, the same notification pops up. Every. Single. Time. 4B) if you hit go to App Store, you’ll be taken to the Google device policy app listing, where you’ll be surprised to find out that the lasted version is already installed! So now you’re thinking everything is in order and your good to go. Could not be more wrong. As soon as you open any of the managed Google apps again, boom, notification pops up. In essence, this is an app that is required if your work data is from GSuite, but all it does is produce annoying notifications to install the latest version of the app, which you’ve already installed, but the notifications won’t stop. It literally is an endless circle of pointlessness. Great job developers!.Version: 3.14

This is so useless!!!I want to access my google classroom and google hangouts and meets but this thing come salong and ruins everything. I am NOT giving my administrator access to my device. F this, google. Do better. I would rather give 0 stars..Version: 3.13

Uhhh Was Fine but now it's notKept hearing other work folx saying they couldn't access their info anymore on iphone. I was fine until recently iPhone saying I need to update the app to the latest version so I can use Google suite on my phone. Well the Apple store says I have the latest version. So I'm in a loop where I can't log into work email because the loop. Now I've joined my coworkers that no longer has access via iOS..Version: 3.17

Google device policy issuesI think it might work it’s just a little confusing to use for example it says it downloaded the profile but then says I have to review it in the settings app to fully download the profile . I’ve tried that but couldn’t find anything. All the while I can’t access my school emails and do work which is very serious. Google please help..Version: 3.07

Pile of steaming stoolLiterally the worst app for the most stupid security system I have ever seen. Can’t access my accounts, can’t make any changes to allow access then the app crashes every single time I try and login or do anything other than nothing. Nice one google, really outdone yourselves this time..Version: 3.07

Constant NotificationsI’m the IT manager for my company and insisted that everyone install this app onto their mobile devices so that we could protect company data, particularly when an employee left our organization. In spite of having up-to-date device policies for all Google Apps, I receive constant notifications to update the policy when opening any app. Even after dismissing the notification, I receive it again and again within seconds. Also, this policy not available for Google Notes, which limits my ability to access Google Notes from my work account on my private device. It’s all very frustrating..Version: 3.14

RidiculousI’m a college student and we use Google Classroom to keep all our digital work and update our workbooks, they told us to download the apps on our phone so we can see when deadlines are coming up, I can’t even do that because when I do it tells me to download this, then install the thing and give the administrator remote control of my iPhone and allow them to delete and erase data ON MY PHONE. Why would I want someone to do that?! Utterly ridiculous. So thanks google, I can’t even do work on my phone or iPad because you want me to download this ridiculous thing. It was perfectly fine beforehand, but now I can’t access any work because this stupid app “lets me access work data.” Ridiculous..Version: 3.04

TerribleI have been using this app for the past couple of months and it has been fine. But now, it. Keeps asking me to update it even though I have done it multiple times. Not to mention the quality is poor and the instructions on how to fix this problem are not in any way amazing. I use this app so I may access my school account and when I am in a meeting I do not need to be bothered by the notice popping up. In conclusion it will most definitely be needing some improvements!.Version: 3.14

Do not use this app!I usually don’t write reviews but I feel like I need to warn people about this app. I downloaded it for my work email. I installed it believing since it’s for work it should be safe. I was wrong. Literally a few seconds after installing this app it made me make a new password to get into my phone. Why? I don’t know but it wouldn’t let me not do this. After this I immediately deleted the app thinking that would be the end of it. When I went to change my password back it wouldn’t let me do a numerical password. I googled it and this app still had control over my phone so I have to reinstall it and manually unregister the app from my phone. Then my phone was back to normal... hopefully. I did not expect this app to have so much control over my phone just for my work email. I will just stick to going on my computer to look at my emails. Long story short don’t use this app unless you’re okay with an app completely taking over your phone..Version: 3.14

What?I can’t get on my work for google classroom as it has told me to download this. I don’t understand this and it keeps saying error please either get rid of this app or sort it out..Version: 3.15

Confusing and Useless AppI am the administrator and still cannot access my work on my iPhone even after adding it and my MacBook Pro to company devices. Sometimes you just gotta keep it simple....Version: 3.12

Avoid at all costsHighly invasive and hard to get rid of. If you need this for work, consider accessing your email from your computer instead, which doesn’t require all this silliness..Version: 3.19

StupidWaste of time.Version: 3.16

Don’t do itComplicated. Hard to navigate. Load of bs..Version: 3.04

Doesn’t WorkKeeps sending you back to the beginning with no option to proceed. Useless..Version: 3.13

Lost control over my deviceEver since I was requested to install this for work on my personal device, I have lost control over my phone. Suddenly personal apps are resetting without my doing so, my phone does not seem to accept simple commands such as activating airplane mode and so on. This is rubbish and everything should be cloud based with access through a browser not using work apps on personal devices because some companies do not provide their staff a work phone. I’ve had an iPhone for the last 5-6 years now. I’ve never experienced the issues I started experiencing after installing this. It’s not just a coincidence. Needs massive improvements and clear boundaries to separate properly work mode from personals mode on one’s device. Thank you..Version: 3.16

Appli merdiqueToute ma plateforme Google telle qu’utilisée par mon employeur est maintenant inopérante sur mon IPhone. L’application ne synchronise plus et toutes les tentatives de reformater min cellulaire sont restées vaines … échec total, application qui ne vous apportera que des maux de tête..Version: 3.18

Cancer for your phoneAvoid this at all costs if you can. It is way more complicated than it should be. I downloaded it to view my emails from work, but it has never worked properly. It just keeps taking me to a menu to download a bunch of other junk and I still can’t see my emails! Also, every time I use the browser on my phone, it reminds me that I haven’t completed the installation. (You also can’t delete it once it is installed, otherwise I would have removed it by now!) Edit: Now I’m just stuck in a loop trying to install my profile. It asks me to download, I hit accept and then it tells me to review my settings. Then it just kicks me back to the install profile section. What a joke!.Version: 3.07

Can’t do any school workI was just gonna get on my phone and finish some of my homework since I was on vacation but when I opened Google slides I was met with a notification telling me to download an app for the slides little did I know when I downloaded and put my school account on it I was giving it all my personal information and I still couldn’t use Google slides. I thought deleting the app would get rid of it but no I had to redownload and take my account out of it so now I’m sitting here on vacation and can’t do any work. Google needs to do a better job on this..Version: 3.17

Total madness.Google want companies to use google docs etc. But they put such unreasonable control of people’s phones into the employers hands. I think I’ll go back to Microsoft. Thanks but no thanks.Version: 3.07

AwfulBe warned, once you install this you’re stuck with it. Have uninstalled the app but still get incredibly annoying pop ups whenever I open my browser “please download the latest version of google device policy to access your work data”..Version: 3.12

Constant interruptions to update even though on current versionIf I could give this minus a star I would. Do not use. Do not use Gsuite. I am so close to uninstalling all of my google software including gsuite. AND I’M A REGISTERED RESELLER. Constant interruptions, took over a year before I could even update the software on my iPad after initial installation. Cumbersome, unnecessary, and refuses to sync. If I switch to Chrome from another app “please update your device ...” constant. I have to keep resyncing manually. How is it possible that not only is this app completely broken and cr@p, but that there is no developer feedback or answers from one of the world’s foremost experts in tech? I would have been disappointed if this was an app from a part-time software student. From Google, this is just shameful..Version: 3.12

Awful appWhen my work went to single sign on, I lost any access to work stuff I had on my iPad. I was told to download this to support it. It’s rubbish. Despite uninstalling it, it constantly pops up when I access chrome, wanting me to reinstall it. I now have a bug I can’t get rid of..Version: 3.14

This is a no go!This app does not have to keep sending that ridiculous error message every time you try to do something on YOUR phone! It is Uber annoying. The app also does not need to collect any information or see and have access to anything else I do or that is on MY phone outside of my company’s use for it. This is insane and an invasion of privacy per usual. This app can go to h-e-double hockey sticks!.Version: 3.16

Doesn't workSays download profile which I did then no sign of it. Tried several times. Total waste of time.Version: 3.13

HorribleI have one account connected on my iPad but it says I need to disconnect an account to get it to work I only have one account though even after disconnecting my one account nothing happens and the advice is horrible NO HELP AT ALL.Version: 3.14

It won’t get off my phone now I have a pop up that showsI have deleted the vpn from my iPhone acct manager. I have reinstalled the app and I don’t get an option to unregister and now every time I go into Google chrome I get a pop up that says I need install the latest update on Google device policy to gain access to work related information. I don’t have this on my phone nothing work related is attached. I want this off my phone!!!.Version: 3.19

The worst app ever;-;This app is so useless like when I was trying to get in google classroom it told me to download this app idk how it works..Version: 3.14

Tells me you download profile pictureDose t even show to profile downloaded button and when I try again it doesn’t work.Version: 3.13

Warning your college can control your phoneYea why do I need college to have access to my phone to let me do corsework seems ridiculous.Version: 3.07

Doesn’t workDoesn’t work as I said keeps looping you around..Version: 3.19

PLEASE REMOVEAre u joking for some reason it keeps saying to download this on google classroom and i have and its not working so please remove this so i can DO MY WORK.Version: 3.14

AppI don’t know what this app is supposed to do. All I know is that it’s locked me out of my access to my email because it seems to be only half installed . I rely on being able to access my email on my phone for my job. If I can’t sort this out by Monday it’s going to greatly inconvenience me.Version: 3.17

What were y’all thinking?This is an absolutely terrible idea. You guys just made everything way more complicated than it needed to be. I had an assignment that I had to take a picture of on my phone and send to my chromebook, but now I can’t because it says I’m not connected to my organizations admin. Just leave things how they were when we could just load up the individual google apps..Version: 3.14

BadKeep telling me to install, doing circles.Version: 3.16

Literally SpywareIt requires the download of a configuration profile, which overrides settings and allows administrators to modify the phone. These modifications can control you device password, what apps you can download, if you’re allowed to connect to iCloud, and even wipe the phone clean of all data. All of these settings hinge on what your company wants you to do. In short, only install this if you have a dedicated work phone that you don’t use for any personal function whatsoever..Version: 3.14

This is dumbBeing forced to use this as I can’t do any work on my phone and tablet without it...Version: 3.14

Won’t even downloadNot only am I unable to use my work Google apps, I’m also not able to download this forced compulsory download in order to do so..Version: 3.17

Listen to these reviews! Do not download!Downloaded once, was in rush at work and needed to use my personal phone to check data from work. This app is a type of virus it seems. It is impossible to remove. It is something outside of iOS software... The pop ups are non stop and you can't get rid of them. How is this even on the app store? Somthing is sketchy here, I hope it gets removed. I can't find any way to get it off my phone. Someone help :(.Version: 3.12

BruhI hate this app so much it makes me want to delete google.Version: 3.13

Google device police not updatedI am receiving messages that I need to update to the latest version but when I try it says not sinked and keeps on loading. Not able to use official mail after that.Version: 3.17

Why change, what’s not broken.Since downloading this app, I can’t seem to access my work gmail suite. It’s asking me to review a document but it doesn’t allow me to. I have been trying to gain access since this afternoon. Please patch it up. Thank you..Version: 3.11

Worst app everIt prompted me to download this app so I could continue doing my work on google classroom for school and now I’m just not able to use the apps.Version: 3.14

May God preserve you from this appI think this app came from hell and was send by the Devil to destroy us.Version: 3.16

Worst app bar noneThis is just simply the biggest pile of garbage software available anywhere. Any company using this to meet their staff mobile access needs there heads read. Profiles that don’t install, continual interruptions whenever you try to use chrome and generally blocked access. Just simply diabolical. The developers should be taken out back and shot..Version: 3.14

I hate thisThe worst app i’ve ever seen. it doesn’t do anything to help you use your work accounts. i tried using this for my school account, but when it showed my status all it said was “to gain access to your work account, contact your organizations admin.” i was able to tap on it, but when i did the app did absolutely NOTHING. i can’t access my online schoolwork on my phone anymore, making me have to wait to do my work until i get home, which might be a little late in the day sometimes. so inconvenient. google, you need to either get rid of this app altogether, or make this so it actually works and helps people. i suggest the first option..Version: 3.09

Thumbs Down 👎🏽I’ve been having problems with it for a couple days now!!! The app is not allowing me to toggle the Google Policy on my iPad when Redirected to the settings. I used to be able to access my work emails but since the Google Policy came, I can’t do anything!.Version: 3.12

AppallingNot even worthy of 1 star. don’t even know what this app is, all I do know is I can no longer access my work emails. I’ve downloaded this as recommended and still can’t access my emails. Google need to sort this ASAP!.Version: 3.04

This is the worst app in historySo I can’t do my work because of this message that keeps on showing up and says to regain access to your work contact your organization admin so please fix this because I contacted my administrator but they didn’t know how to fix this so I don’t know what’s happening or either my administrator is preventing me from using this app or this is just a bug so fix this bug or I’ll contact my administrator for details about why this is happening.Version: 3.07

RubbishThis app is total rubbish do not download or install as this just doesn’t work I opened it cannot get it to sync even after setting my iPad as administrator for the gmail accounts. There is no help or support available keep getting an error on connecting. After the profits google make you’d have thought they could have got something right but no if I could I’d give it a zero star rating but to post this I have to give 1 star to it.Version: 2.06

Hate it, why still sending me message after I delete it 👎Hate it, why still sending me message after I deleted it.Version: 3.17

TerribleWhen I first downloaded google slides on my phone, it will always have a message saying that I need to download this app. When I did, it will continue telling me to download something. But the main problem is that the app said that it will erase and delete data (without your permission). I can’t do school work because of this. I highly suggest you don’t download this.Version: 3.12

NopeNo way I will allow the permission they asked in their policy update. I guess no more work on my personal device then. 0/10.Version: 3.14

Hate itSo many authentication issues. Easier to just not use my phone for work anymore than get this thing going..Version: 3.14

Works only with one account at a timeWorks fine with the main account but additional business account cannot be added. Delegation also doesn’t work in the Gmail app..Version: 3.07

The worst app in existenceAs titled. This is completely useless and whoever designed should quit their job. You’re making everyone else’s extremely hard..Version: 3.18

What’s the useIt’s the most terrible thing to use. It’s. It straight forward and very confusing. And you have to download it for every device even if it’s the same account. Absolute rubbish.Version: 3.14

BugIt keeps telling to install the latest version Stuck.Version: 3.16

What is the point?All I wanted to do is use my Gmail on my phone, but now I would have to wait until some admin approves me to use it? This is ridiculous! What even is the point of this app? Absolutely terrible. Do NOT download..Version: 3.04

MmIl me demande de télécharger l’application une et une autre fois. Je fais le téléchargement et ça ne marche pas encore. Toujours la petite fenêtre options: annuler et télécharger.Version: 3.14

Not goodI need to use my phone for school, but I can never sign in to my account because it tells me it download this app. So I downloaded the app and it doesn’t work..Version: 3.14

Need to explain additional steps if anyThere MUST be additional steps that aren’t being explained. It’s telling me to go to my phone’s settings to download, when I try to install my profile. But it's already installed. There is obviously something not communicating on the back-end or there are missing steps for the user. Now this keeps telling me to download the latest version over and over and over again, and directs me to the App Store, but there are no updates..Version: 3.14

FmlI accidentally downloaded this and deleted it right away and now every google related app has pop up ads telling me to download it. im at my wits end.Version: 3.14

RubbishI have download and tried to change in the settings as requested but still does not work. It’s saying that to only use it for businesses, yet I am just trying to access my personal files and sheets, not for business at all. Please can this be fixed as worked fine before..Version: 3.14

Buggy and doesn’t workIt used to work when I added my Gsuite email to Gmail app. Then it just stopped working so I had to remove Gmail as it said I didn’t have access to it anymore. No biggie, using email through other apps. But I needed Keep on my phone and it asked me to install the app to access Google Keep. Then it says I can’t access it and to contact my Gsuite admin. I am the admin. Tried looking for other solutions, help files don’t have it. Last thing I tried is to just remove my account completely and re-add it, start over. Can’t because the app started bugging and just keep popping info popup without any option but to click OK and as soon as you do the same pop up shows up again. Over and over. USELESS and you can’t even use Gsuite on iOs without it. Guess I should stop paying for Gsuite now..Version: 3.14

Garbage systemI tried to access my google classroom from my phone and a notification pops up on my screen telling me i have to download the latest version of this app in order to log onto my google classroom. I do as suggested only to find out that the administrator has denied access to this app, so i am now unable to get onto google classroom on my phone, and this unable to submit the proper photos i need to turn in….Version: 3.17

*PLEASE READ BEFORE INSTALLATION* Why you should not download,and how to actually delete it.This app literally takes over your phone,basically like you’ve been hacked. I downloaded this to acsess my school email and directly after,wasn’t able to screenshot. A past experience is where it asks you to change your password… ….I CANNOT stress this enough,DO NOT CHANGE IT! THIS IS LITERALLY A SCAM FOR THEM TO GET MORE CONTROL OVER YOUR PHONE! Now for the second part deleting it (getting your phone back) ,it’s not as simple as just deleting the app. I will go step by step for you guys: Step 1 - You will have to open the app Step 2 - Go to the menu [Three line icon in the top left] Step 3 - Go to the bottom of the menu and tap “Unregister” and then confirm to unregister your account from this device If you’ve done all of these steps correctly,then congratulations you’ll have you phone back. Please read the steps carefully. As just deleting the app is not going to work… Your Welcome!.Version: 3.16

Bugs your phone dont download pleaseI have been suffering from a pop up since i deleted the app. Can’t remove the pop anymore the pop up sign - asks me to download this app. No matter what app i open always pops off sick of this app.Version: 3.16

Messed up the way my phone auto-locksI wanted to be able to check my work email on my phone, and that required downloading this app. BIG mistake. I’m not sure how or why, but after downloading this app, my phone now auto-locks every time the screen goes to sleep. Even if I manually change the auto-lock timer to 5 minutes or “never,” it still locks IMMEDIATELY. I guess it’s a safety feature for accessing sensitive material, but my god is this annoying. I deleted the app but my phone is still screwed up, so thanks for nothing, I guess..Version: 3.16

Its just Horrible… a zero stars rating if i couldLoops endlessly and its just garbage. Do NOT download this on your device. You’ll be so sorry you did. Hours and hours of your life will disappear in this annoying Matrix that you won't get back Dont do it!!!! Pure Junk..Version: 3.16

Incompetent app.This was forced on me by work and now my Iphone and iPad calendar and emails don’t synch with each other, nor with my work calendar and email, in spite background refresh always set on. Three versions of each. Absolute rubbish. Help is moronic, and doesn’t provide workable solutions. If I remove it from my PERSONAL phone or ipad I will be fired. Forces all comms into my personal email address thru my work one, from which I cannot reply to them. Deserves a NEGATIVE RATING. DO NOT USE THIS !!.Version: 3.16

HELP ME!The app overall is okay, it can help me get any work done I need to outside of school, but DO NOT make a profile. I went to do it and the little anecdote told me that my administration can track what I’m doing on my PERSONAL device, look through my photos, and DELETE APPS ENTIRELY! I am not okay with this, I would rather keep my stuff to myself. I have my home and school account on here, they could be able to access both, and that’s my private stuff. I don’t think they go through people’s personal accounts for a living, but honestly, I’m just not okay with it. If anyone has any way for me to protect my personal stuff while doing schoolwork on my school account, please let me know. Thanks!.Version: 3.17

Frustrating.Like other reviews. If a zero was possible, this would get it..Version: 3.14

Completely and utterly useless, if I could never use google again because of this I wouldThis is so indescribably awful. I wish I could never use google again.Version: 3.14

THIS IS THE WORST APP EVERI HATE THIS APP SO MUCH I USED BE ABLE TO GENON ALL MY GOOGLE DEVICES! BUT NIW I CANT EVEN GET ON A SINGLE APP!:🤬😡😠🤯☹️😒😖🙄🤮🤢👎🏻.Version: 3.14

UselessStuck in a pop up loop. Even when uninstalled I keep getting asked to install it. Incredibly annoying and frustrating..Version: 3.15

Really confusingI don’t understand what this app is supposed to do? It won’t load, operate or do anything.. please fix it and explain how to use it .. really frustrated.Version: 3.12

Why do I constantly get a pop-up?It keeps telling me to install the latest Device Policy but I am already running the latest version!!!!!.Version: 3.13

StupidThis app is frisking absurd.Version: 3.13

Can’t access business accountThis isn’t working properly and I don’t know what to do to fix the issues. I can’t access our business email accounts because it keeps requesting an updated policy which was done. The message prompts me to notify the admin but we are the owners of the business ( the admins). We need to access our business emails, documents, etc. Please fix this issue and assist us with getting into our account.Version: 3.12

It’s annoyingI receive non stop pop-up ask me to install latest version. Please apply google UX rules to your own app..Version: 3.17

Even after deleting, I get nonstop notifications from this appI ended up not needing this app and deleted it off my phone within 24 hours. I continue to get nonstop notifications to update the app in order for it to work effectively with my phone. I have quadruple checked it’s deleted from my phone - via settings, notifications, App Store. I’ve even tried reinstalling and deleting it. Still. I need this to stop. I’m about to throw my phone..Version: 3.14

Is Privacy in Google dictionary ?To use google suite with business account, you need to install some profile from this app, which allows remote admin collect and modify data on your phone. Yeah you can say no. But then you cannot check your gmail, get google calendar notification and chat with your coworker using Google Chat. Destroy your business life if you rely on Google suite heavily. I truly understand the concern of the data leakage caused by losing phone. But forcing us to give out our privacy is definitely not a solution ..Version: 3.07
