Description

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.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

2 ★There is an issue with using the keyboard input when Samsung Pass is turned on. There is no way to get around it and keyboard input is blocked. This happens 100% of the time in Samsung DeX mode and must be fixed. Camera is held to original orientation vs. using the correct camera rotation release API for DeX.
1 ★Was working fine until recent update. Issues logging in and if I do actually get in, if i minimize the app to use another app for more than 20 -30 seconds it disconnects me from the server. I then will have issues logging back in, looping over and over stating access denied. Using galaxy pad S2
2 ★Doesn't handle running on a Chromebook on an external display that has a different resolution from the internal display. Also has trouble on high resolution internal display of chromebook. At least it does not constantly disconnect like the Chrome OS version (a star for that).
1 ★To connect to work, I have to use the Android app on my Chromebook. Using the keyboard on the Chromebook, the Horizon app doesn't capture important keyboard keys like Alt-Tab or the Super (win) key. Alt-Tab is the really frustrating one, but I'd love for my super key to work as well. The Citrix client works with those keys just fine. Are there different keys I can use for Alt-Tab or Super? Or is the on-screen keyboard the only option?
4 ★So close... I have the duo... And besides taking forever to load up compared to my old phone, it works amazingly well. All of the touch features work and the pen is smooth, it doesn't recognize the buttons or that a pen is close to the screen which would take this to the next level but it's better than their windows app. If you put the desktop in tablet mode windows snap to the break in the screens, I wish the app would recognize the screens as two screens so desktop mode was more usable.
1 ★This app stopped working 5/14/20. "Connection Failed: a generic failure has occurred." I contacted our IT/system administrator and they said only option is not to use app and to use desktop site on my phone. The desktop site is not compatible with my phone. Well, I guess I can't see my patients then??
1 ★Not working anymore on samsung Note 8. When I click on the standard desktop it stalls out and asks if I want to continue to wait for it to connect but it just crashes. Uninstalled several times and cleared phone cache. Tried both host name and ip of server and played with security setting, no go. Please update
1 ★multiple screens, pixelbook - this app along with the specific app, Horizon Client for Chrome OS, will NOT work on my pixelbook when I attempet to add an external monitor. Works great w/out the ex monitor. Two screens are very much needed for work purposes. Does anyone have any suggestions or instructions I could try?
2 ★Continuously asking for token password on airtel mobile network. If i connect using wifi it works fine but not on mobile network. Repeatedly asking for password.
2 ★remote desktop via VmWare horizon renders display atrociously - using Galaxy S9+ when remoting into my laptop, the entire windows interface is rendered into my phones resolution so that you can't even see windows boarders, all the fonts are super large or super tiny. why not let it work the same as iOS??
2 ★Screen is really blurry when in the VM, also had issues with the display size. Does not work well with my Chromebook. I have used VMware Horizon Client previoulsy with no issues, but does not seem to work well with Chromebook.
1 ★This app used to work. I uninstalled it today and reinstalled it to see if update worked. No luck. My session was disconnected due to a generic failure. Very frustrating and disappointing. I hope they remedy this one day soon.
