VMware Horizon Client for iOS makes it easy to work on your VMware Horizon virtual desktop and hosted applications from your iPhone or iPad, giving you on-the-go access from any location. IMPORTANT NOTE: A VMware Horizon virtual desktop or hosted application is required to use the VMware Horizon Client for iOS. Contact your IT department for further assistance. FEATURES: ENHANCED USER EXPERIENCE The VMware Blast Extreme protocol used with Horizon 7 is designed and optimized for mobile users. Blast Extreme leverages H.264 hardware decoding to deliver the best remote experience while reducing power consumption. LEAVE THE DESKTOP BEHIND WITH HOSTED APPLICATIONS VMware Horizon 6 and later supports hosted applications in addition to virtual desktops. With hosted applications, leave the desktop behind and run applications like local iOS apps. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Unity Touch bridges the gap between your touch screen and your Windows applications. With Unity Touch, you can easily browse, search, and open Windows applications & files, choose favorite applications and files, and switch between running applications all without the Start Menu or Task Bar. WORK SMARTER With an external monitor or AirPlay, your iPhone or iPad display turns into a trackpad / keyboard while the external screen shows your VMware Horizon desktop. UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE The adaptive capabilities of the Blast Extreme and PCoIP display protocol make your virtual desktop fast and responsive regardless of whether you are connecting over your corporate WiFi network or over a cellular connection at a local café.

Unable to fit viewed chart to screen. It’s extremely small.
United StatesKills devices potential as a business tool
On an 11” ipad, screen l estate is at a premium. When you connect to a vm and use the keyboard for anything, the toolbar appearing at the bottom of the screen takes up far too much of it. Why on earth there isnt a setting to disable that is beyond me. Do that and this app is 5*. I reached out to vmware enterprise support and they indicated it is an apple issue. If that is the case, how does the Microsoft RDP client get around it? The ipad would be IDEAL as a support tool if vmware would fire this issue. With LTE and instant on, quick connections to handle support issues would be cake. PLEASE fix this issue
United StatesChallenges and Suggestions
I find working in the VM Horizon application to be challenging. The inability to drag or resize windows without moving the entire application is frustrating. Additionally, the persistent keyboard settings bar that obstructs the taskbar is bothersome, with no option to hide it. Despite attempting to use this application on my iPad, I cannot recommend it due to these issues. It feels like using this app is more of a time-waster than a productivity tool, and the adjustments required are not justified. I hope this feedback is taken into consideration, as I've been considering replacing my Dell tablet with my iPad for some time now. It would also be beneficial if there was a feature to lock oneself within the application, preventing accidental resizing when trying to close software within the VM
United StatesHorizon Client Great but Could be Better
Horizon Client is great on macOS to allow me to connect to my Windows VDI for work, but on my M2 iPad the app still needs work. The keyboard on iPad OS doesn’t always appear for me to send an Ctrl-Alt-Del to login and I have to exit the app and reconnect. Moreover, once connected to my VDI on iPad, I cannot drag windows within Horizon Client (on my VDI). I do not know whether it is iPad OS intervening and thinking I want to drag the Horizon Client window or whether that is in Horizon Client’s domain to control? But, it is very annoying. I still rate Horizon Client app on my M2 iPad with 4 stars because it allows me to still enjoy my Apple devices all day even if I am relegated to work in Windows for work. 🙂
United StatesWorks Really Well
I would like a way to hide the little keyboard toolbar. Also, I couldn’t figure out file sharing. There’s a toggle in settings, but no explanation of what exactly it does or how to use it. I tried looking for a button to upload a file in all the little menus. I tried dragging my file onto the VM session. Nothing. I don’t know if this next thing is a problem is with this app or the VM, but sometimes when I use this app, the VM will configure itself to a really low screen resolution. It’s really difficult to use like that. The “activate windows” overlay takes like a quarter of the screen, windows are way bigger than the screen until you maximize, & you can barely fit any content on the screen. Most of the time, though, the VM serves a screen resolution that feels right for my iPad.
United StatesSmartcard Support for iOS
Great App on Mac, but would love to have Native Smartcard and Yubikey support directly in the app. A lot of apps are supporting this now and this should be an easy win!
