Description
VMware Horizon Client for Android makes it easy to work on your VMware Horizon virtual desktop and hosted applications from your Android phone or tablet, 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 Android. Contact your IT department for further assistance.
This app uses the Device Administrator permission.
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 Android 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.
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 cellular connection at a local café.
SECURE FROM ANY LOCATION Whether you’re at your desk or away from the office, you’re always secure with VMware Horizon. Leverage smart card authentication with the Biometric Associates baiMobile smart card readers. Use the newly integrated RSA soft token for simpler access.
NOTE REGARDING APPLICATION PERMISSIONS: When you install the VMware Horizon Client, you will be prompted to allow the app to read phone status and identity. These permissions are due to the integrated RSA SDK and the RSA soft token feature. For security purposes, the RSA SDK requires access to the phone state, device's network state and Wi-Fi state in order to verify the device's identity.

Love this app. The typing / keyboard integration is awful. It's hard to type inside VMware especially on landscape the keyboard button does not pop up

Accessing Vdi on Windows from Chromebook. Do you have any workaround with Zoom as it is not using the camera in the Zoom Vdi? The usual troubleshooting stuff is done and can see the virtual camera in Zoom Settings but as soon as you Start Meeting the video icon is simply not there even though Zoom sees the camera in Settings. Zoom has a "media plugin" for Windows and Mac but not Chromes. Any ideas welcome or else I will have to get Windows laptop.

I figured this thing would run like a turd on my old phone, but it actually works really well. It's not the smoothest app of all time, but it does work almost as well as it does on a PC. I'm able to load up my company's VDI and check and work on various things, mostly text-based, when I'm out and about if someone has a question. Haven't tried it with anything remotely graphics intensive, get it?, but it does work quite well

Suddenly stopped working properly on Chromes. Uninstalling and reinstalling fixed the issue, but It's still often laggy or hard to connect. Not great!
★★☆☆☆
It is not mobile friendly, you need to have a physical keyboard for it to work. Mobile keyboard won't pop up
★★☆☆☆
Cannot access it not even my password login works Just uninstalled it and I need it to access my portals

Used to work great! Been getting security certificate error for over a month now and won't connect at all (I checked w/IT, and it's not a problem with my company's certificate). Please fix, thank you!
