More About Citrix Workspace
• Work on your favorite device from wherever you are
• Access email or other corporate applications
• Access your files, apps, desktop from your phone, tablet, or all in one from a unified view
• Provide single sign on capabilities with Citrix SecureHub and Citrix Files.
Client Drive Mapping Virtual Channel:
Client drive mapping (CDM) allows plug-and-play storage devices in a session. This means that you can use your local device storage or mass storage devices(for example, pen drives) to copy and paste documents between the session and the user device.
Location and Sensor Virtual Channel:
This virtual channel allows Workspace to redirect sensor information to applications running on server. For example, applications can use accelerometer data to drive 3D-modelling application, use ambient light level to control the brightness of the screen, use location data to alter behavior of application, and so on.
VpnService functionality
You can access the internal Web, Software‑as‑a‑Service (SaaS) apps, and websites hosted by your company.
Support for Citrix Ready workspace hub:
Built on the Raspberry Pi 3 platform, the Citrix Ready workspace hub provides a secure connection to authorized apps and data. Citrix Workspace app for Android supports user authentication to Citrix Ready workspace hubs as an experimental feature. This allows authenticated users to cast their sessions to a hub. The feature is disabled by default.
Note: Location permission is required for the Citrix Ready workspace hub experimental feature. You can deny this permission if there are no workspace hubs present.
Accessibility service:
Enable the Citrix accessibility service to have a smooth functioning of Citrix Workspace app sessions. We do not collect any user data. We use this service to enable gesture and touch passthrough functionality in virtual sessions.

I like the simplicity, especially when it comes to setting up connections to servers.

Generally works great. Used on S9/S10e/Note20 with Samsung Dex i don't need a laptop/pc anymore. It can disrupt internet acces for other apps running at the same time: Video conferencing gets disrupted when accessing larger files in the virtual desktop. Strange because the file access is on the remote server, not on the phone. Hope this will be fixed soon. Would be great to be able to work in the virtual desktop while video conferencing, sharing the screen without loosing connection.

Utterly Buggy app. It was still getting the job done amidst multiple issues. However it has become extremely annoying after a recent update post which It does not run properly in the background with an error message depicting "App not unavailable" the moment it is minimised or switched to a different app. Release notes mentions as Bug fixes or should it be as Introducing New Bugs. How does an update reach consumers without proper testing something which gets me perplexed.

This is one of the worst app of modern time. The citrix ecosystem is still in 1999. They made basic features like typing and scrolling a cumbersome task. Support team takes ages to answer the calls. I don't know why corporates are still using this app . Frequent crashes, inexplicable software issues and random shut downs and the list goes on and on. Not even one thing that I can appreciate about this app. I urge all to please avoid it at all cost. Not worth it!

Great Just a pity not have the possibility to work on two separate accounts at the same time as on the computer

I'm using the app since more than a year, many changes made but I think it should be made more user friendly so that people may use this app without any problem as far as my concern I could not use it appropriately for both reading as well as writing of emails I think this difficulty may because of its compatibility issue with mobile phone. One more thing I say that many times it gets hanged while entering the password for login. I think it needs some changes.

The biggest downfall of your service is that your desktop client, unlike other remote access softwares, does not allow for keyboard shortcuts to be forwarded to the remote computer. It's very annoying to not be able to alt-tab while working on a remote desktop. Fix this and you are more than deserving of five stars. Your mobile app is better than your desktop client for this reason, although some gestures are a little verbose. Edit: You can actually fix this by changing a registry key...

This is good but can you PLEASE change the top tool bar functionality so that it disconnects the sesstion NOT log out the machine, in line with the desktop app?? The number of times i've logged out my machine (with no way of cancelling) while using this instead of just disconnecting is very frustrating. We don't need a log off button in the tool bar, we need a disconnect button, in line with the desktop app.

Citrix as a solution hasn't improved a bit in years. And this app, as soon as you minimize/switch the window, the connection fails. You lock the screen for a moment, the connection fails. Citrix has poor connection resilience in general. Mouse pointer is offset to the right. Keyboard is erratic. This app has survived probably because there are no alternatives.

Worst app ever. I installed this app to access the mail & I had the worst experience. It takes quite an effort even to move the cursor successfully to the desired mail or content. Also, in order to write a mail, this app provides a virtual keyboard (which is the only option since phone keyboard doesn't work here) which disappears everytime you need to correct your content. Further, one needs to have a lot of patience in order to select the virtual keyboard from the drop down in the first place.

I'm not able to use my keyboard to reply to emails. Sometimes it takes me 5 tries to get logged in bc it says error. All kinds of bugs. Very annoying. Basically the only thing I can do is check my work schedule and read messages,but not respond. I don't like the app at all and wish they'd fix it. I've complained about these same issues before and gotten nowhere.

really good to have the remote access the only thing I dont like is that you cant use the phones keyboard as it's been translated to a 101 key so you need to use the extended key to make use of the second functions like caps or special characters like -_ any shared character can't be accessed directly you need to use the extended shift and the function on your mobile. other than that it's all good

Works great on properly built Citrix environments. Most of the complaints that are in the reviews here are due to poorly implemented infrastructure and have nothing to do with this app. Bad builds yield bad experiences and in my experience, 99% of the time, it's the back-end configuration that makes this app function incorrectly. Almost every single review I've read of this app is the result of incorrect policy assignments, unsupported third-party authentication issues, and the administrator's failure to follow suggested best practices.

Works surprisingly well, but two complaints: -There isn't a button in the toolbar to just disconnect (or it's not obvious, hitting back seems to be the correct way), the button that seems to do that will sign me out before disconnecting, which is not wanted. -There should be an option to enable cursor by default (not obvious if this is an option already), since the tap click isn't great when accessing a VM on a phone.

The keyboard and auto zoom and centering has a complete mind of its own. One second the keyboard is up, the next its gone. Clicking on certain boxes causes the window to auto zoom and center - just all bizarre behaviors and I cant figure out what triggers them. The gestures are unique to this app and don't really follow the norms of mobile interfaces in terms of scroll and zoom. I just want the screen to remain in the full view with the keyboard pinned, please just make this a checkbox option.

Feels like a 20 year old app. Keyboard doesn't pop open automatically. Can't use talk to text anymore. Top menus have to be toggled back and forth as the menu closes after every press. Logs out constantly for no good reason. Seriously delinquent app. None of these issues Involve safety or convenience. Not all apps will open. Have a strong wifi signal but still just get the circle of death and won't load specific apps. Can't understand why any company would use this app. So bad

It can take an inordinate amount of troubleshooting and luck to get it to connect and actually run programs, yet when it finally opens it is very difficult to get it to respond to commands on anything other than a desktop computer. Something that should take two seconds or less, such as selecting an option on the screen, can easily take 5 minutes or more. It is an excellent idea in theory, but very time consuming and overly demanding in its specifications for use in practice.

The design, speed and use interface of this app would have been okay in 1973. There's no excuse for the existence of such an antedeluvian abomination in 2020. Everything about this app is terrible. It's clunky and extremely unintuitive and slow. This thing needs a design overhaul or corporations need to dump this thing for something more user friendly and modern.

Using this App on a Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra in Samsung Dex mode. The app is pretty decent. However, When I have the window fully maximized, I accidentally close the window all the time, as I always mix up the 'X' in the top right corner with an app within a Citrix Windows environment. There should be a way to minimize that top bar so people don't accidentally close Citrix all the time. And I mean ALL the time. I always have to re-log in, which is annoying.

Bad design choices in this app! I can add the gateway just fine but then it automatically connects to my VDI whether I want to or not. When I click the X in the toolbar, it actually closes everything and signs out from the VDI which is NOT expected behavior - it should disconnect and keep me logged in, just like the desktop app. Logging out and closing all the apps is BAD. This makes this app completely worthless to me.
