I have a test due tomorrow and I have been working on it for school a little bit so I downloaded because it said I had to download this app to use google docs before I even got the app it made me a bit unsettled that it said the app had access to my phone but of course I expected so I could work on my essay which is a test grade by the way and it said that my school administrators had to accept my account to even use the app so now I can’t work and it’s all this apps fault I used to be able to do tons of productive work on my mobile phone and as a broke student I wasn’t going to buy a laptop when I could do all my work on my phone now I am thinking I should get one. Do not download this app. Also side note really creepy how I can’t revoke the permission I gave my administration to have access to my phone, also now gonna fail this test because of this stupid update please remove.

Avoid this at all costs if you can. It is way more complicated than it should be. I downloaded it to view my emails from work, but it has never worked properly. It just keeps taking me to a menu to download a bunch of other junk and I still can’t see my emails! Also, every time I use the browser on my phone, it reminds me that I haven’t completed the installation. (You also can’t delete it once it is installed, otherwise I would have removed it by now!) Edit: Now I’m just stuck in a loop trying to install my profile. It asks me to download, I hit accept and then it tells me to review my settings. Then it just kicks me back to the install profile section. What a joke!

the worst app i’ve ever seen. it doesn’t do anything to help you use your work accounts. i tried using this for my school account, but when it showed my status all it said was “to gain access to your work account, contact your organizations admin.” i was able to tap on it, but when i did the app did absolutely NOTHING. i can’t access my online schoolwork on my phone anymore, making me have to wait to do my work until i get home, which might be a little late in the day sometimes. so inconvenient. google, you need to either get rid of this app altogether, or make this so it actually works and helps people. i suggest the first option.

As an IT professional we use this is in our environment for mobile device management and find it works well. If you don’t want your device invaded you could always, you know....not add your email account to your phone. If you want company information on your phone you inherit the risks associated with that.

You need to remove other device MDM profiles for it to work. I had set one up manually and it conflicted. If you are not an admin on the google business account, you may (will) have problems.... you will need to contact your admin... that’s easy if you are the admin. If you are not the admin and trying to install it, then it may or may not be configured. If you haven’t talked to your IT Dept., and you are not the IT Debt, don’t install it. This is for corporate google accounts, not your free gmail account. The purpose is for MDM... so you should probably accept all of the prompts that indicate it can remotely manage and wipe your device... that’s is the point.
