Active Directory is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation. This application is developed by a third party developer with no input or advise by Microsoft Corporation.
Field-ready AD tool that saves time on common tasks (e.g., unlocking accounts, viewing device names) and supports an unlimited-report option. However, users repeatedly report crashes, licensing/purchase loops, and connectivity problems to domain controllers, plus password reset failures and lagging maintenance. OS compatibility and limited support further erode reliability. The app can be valuable for on-the-go admins, but stability and licensing issues dominate user sentiment.
Pros
Field/remote AD management: allows unlocking accounts and viewing device names on the go.
Saves time by handling common AD tasks without returning to a desktop.
Life-saver for locked-out user scenarios and essential on-the-go AD administration.
Unlimited reports/invoicing option is valued by some users.
Cons
Frequent crashes and instability across iOS versions (including login crashes and post-update crashes).
Licensing/upgrade problems: license not recognized, perpetual purchase prompts, and restore license failures.
Connectivity to domain controllers is unreliable and often requires VPN, with failures on cellular or non-VPN networks.
Password reset functionality often errors out due to group policy complexity or policy checks.
Maintenance and compatibility issues: outdated updates, poor iOS dark mode/UI support, and weak developer support or nonfunctional site.

You get absolutely nothing extra with the purchase. I’ve already requested my refund.

Can’t change user’s password from app. Constantly get error message saying password doesn’t meet group policy complexity rules but I know for a fact the reset password is complex. Other than that, everything else seems to work.

If you think it will unlock the advanced reports- and the developer website is nonfunctional. Apple, how to get a refund?
