Microsoft Lync 2010 for iPad

This app stinks Sure it will dial my phone so I can attend the meeting but it wont allow me to see shared screen content What good is the app on the iPad then Time to delete it and just dial in via cell phone     Cant view shared content

Given the poor watereddown quality of the Mac OS X version I shouldnt have been surprised At least the Mac version would actually sign in     Wont work at all

Got a Lync invite so I downloaded the iPad client When trying to join the meeting it says I need to provide my phone number and brings me to a screen where it shows an empty number and refuses to allow me to type Thus this app is useless for me     Useless for joining meetings as a guest

I use this only when I need to quickly message someone in my organization who I know is available You can message people and view a quick overview of your calendar You cannot use and enjoy any other of Lyncs features such as seeing your missed conversations joining Lync meetings or changing font size and color It lets you know someone tried to contact you but not what they said a little embarrassing asking many people to repeat what they said makes me sound almost like a young half deaf idiot        In a pinch only

The App is pretty good for use away from a full laptop or computer The only problem that I see so far is no ability to adjust the font size nor the ability to zoom the screen so that I could increase the text size Please add these features           Fonts are too small especially on the iPhone

The app stopped working When it did work it crashed all the time Another Microsoft fail     Doesnt work often

Unlike the desktop version the iPad version cant be used to make calls The app has no meaningful help but with some digging I found that iPad Lync simply triggers a callback to your mobile phone If I wanted to use my mobile phone Id use it without adding the extra step of Lync What a pointless piece of er software           Useless

Same issue as others comments The phone number required to join the meeting entry does not activate the keyboard so no way to enter phone number App is useless     NonStarter

Whenever I have to change my work password and then come to Lync in my iPad its always a debacle Lync tries the maximum three tries before even prompting me for my password Therefore I get locked out of everything on my laptop iPhone and ipad until it is automatically unlocked 15 minutes later Please make Lync prompt me for a password after a single failed attempt and then we wont have this problem           Change Password Issues

I downloaded the app but when it asks to put my number in it will not allow me to input it in and therefore I cant use the app at all I really need this app to work     Issues

You can tell Microsoft doesnt care If youre not using a Microsoft product like surface then oh well Not our problem     A year later and still broke

I cant log into any of my companys presentations using this App on my iPad None of the presenters are aware of any unique settings they need to use for the iPad and no one can provide any guidance on how to use it Dont recommend until you confirm if your company is familiar with the App and capable of supporting it     Wont work

Current version is not compatible and does not connect     Does not connect

Another MS fail This app does not work Spent hours trying to get it to work Wont connect MS is garbage I have yet to see a MS product that was easy to set up use and not fail if I ever got it to work     Perfect example of Just works and MS

Works but barely Needs LOTS of work        Poor app

Tells me I have to enter a phone number and takes me to an input field that wont let me enter a number     Wont join a meeting

It hangs pauses freezes and deletes your account andor connection information Microsoft has clearly given up on this app     Abandoned

Same problem try to enter phone number and entry box is grayed out Thus does not work     Same Problem

Says it will call my number but never connected Why not just relay sound through iPad That is what Im using     I would give zero stars if possible

Not sure about the negative feedback but the updated version worked just fine for iPad IM Havent tried Lync Meeting from iPad just yet but will do soon              Very Hepful

This app offers no functionality Cannot connect cannot view Its a wast of space on the iPad     Useless app

This app works well on the iPad 2 and iPad 3 There is a bug when running on the iPad Mini the IM text box is hidden by the keyboard so cant see what youre typing On the iPad 2 and 3 the IM text box slides up with the keyboard Its a minor bug but annoying and limits the apps use on the Mini Microsoft please fix this                 Nice app with a bug on the Mini

it connects to the enterprise server but IM does not work calling does NOT work either everything written about the functionalities does NOT work on ipad it does work on iphone     does not work on ipad

The app requires phone number but doesnt let me enter it     Poor App

This apps seems to work well when I have it open but once I close it to use other apps such as mail it doesnt tell me that someone has sent me a message or that whoever I sent a message to finally replied Fix that and itd be great for my needs           Needs alerts

Downloaded to attend a meeting on the run Cant join mtg without adding my phone number App doesnt allow keyboard to launch so cant enter my Tried setting from app main screen no option Is this still in beta Oh wait its Microsoft were all beta testers until SP2     PC user on IPad useless

Cant join the meeting without phone number cant enter phone number because box is greyed out     Same issue

I have an issue with receiving Push Notifications when someone messages me The conversation does not show up until it is considered a missed convo This is for the IPad and IPhone versions        Push Notification

I use Lync 2010 in the office all day and it works great This app is unusable Cannot even login before it locks up hard Tried multiple times It seems like Microsoft doesnt care because its not installed on a Microsoft product     Poorly written Constantly locks up

I have an account enter my user name and password Wont log me in     Doesnt work

I agree with other reviewers this app would be far more usable if there were a way to increase font size Im using a fullsize iPad and its way too small           Need an option to increase font size

Asks for a phone number but cant enter it     Wont let me log in as guest

Cant enter phone number as many other users who rated low     Cant use due to phone number

This app works but doesnt take advantage of iOS 7 Doesnt work in background mode or support badge alerts so unless you are in the app just watching paint dry and waiting for someone to type you wont know you got a response Other than that it works fine for messaging I dont use it for meetings so I cant comment on that     Needs an update

This app is unreliable Do not use it if you must receive all of your lync messages I use lync for an it environment and if this app is not opened and in focus you can forget about sending me messages I simply wont receive them and the sender will assume they are being ignored I tested this many times     Unreliable

The iPad version of Lync is quite welcome and works great to communicate while off site and on call There are a few bugs and missing features though Possible bug lack of visual feedback when changing status Bug always assumes portrait orientation when launching It fixes itself after it logs in but this looks unprofessional I assume this is because it shares code with the iPhone version which is always portrait Bug wont auto detect server settings consistently I know them and can input manually but thats not helpful to those who cant Missing feature text size adjustment for messages Its way too small to read easily on my iPad mini so I imagine its microscopic on a retina iPad Missing featurebug leaves messages Ive responded to on another device shown as unread This is a problem with most IM services Skype included but iMessage has this figured out so its possible to fix At best its annoying but at worst confusing if you forget whether or not you responded to an important IM Annoyance like Skype there are separate iPhone and iPad versions Please please please develop universal apps instead The extra size really isnt a concern anymore           Almost Awesome

I am able to receive invites to other meetings But before Im able to connect to the meeting It asks for my phone number My iPad does not have a phone number The field to enter a phone number within the application is not editable     Not usable

This app causes my iPad to run extremely slow I have stopped using it unless forced to I manually force it to shutdown after I am done using it        Buggy

All it does is connect you to the audio content of meeting by calling your phone and IM during meeting For iPad this is a very poor app     Unable view shared content

The most annoying thing is that when in chat mode the topmost chat name is hidden by the title bar so you have to swipe down and hold to see the topmost chat I dont have the trouble signing in that others have reported but essentially this app does not replicate the functionality of Lync on the PC very well        Mediocre at best

I got this on my iPad thinking it would do everything Lync does on my computer Sadly it only does instant messaging and shows meeting material if you can get it to work You have to provide a phone number to be called at if you want audio during a meeting The voicevideo call isnt supported I was hoping it would since I have a camera and mic on my iPad Now I understand all the poor ratings Just a waste of my time     Nothing more than IM

This app isnt ready for production use on the iPad and should be labeled as such In addition to the other complaints I am unable to join a meeting as a guest     No guest option

Cant use it Trying to log in app hangs while Im still entering login info What a waste of electronic space One star rating really means 5 here     Useless piece of xxxx

This is seriously an awful app from Microsoft I cant believe they released it Its completely unreliable and cumbersome to use Horrible development     Awful

Even with iPad contacts sorted by last name the Lync app will only sort and list them by first name Call me picky but I cant stand this dumbingdown Business users are used to seeing last name first at the very least the app should use the iPad setting for how contacts are sorteddisplayed           for children

Why do you need to annoy me with these Youve been signed out due to inactivity messages Either do not sign me out or stop sending me the messages           Annoying

Nothing like the Windows version and therefore useless as a collaboration agent The first release of Skype with chat was better than this POS     Garbage

I followed a link to a meeting invite It asks me to download this app I try to sign in and it asks me to enter a phone number for Id purposes but wont let me enter a number When someone sent me a gotomeeting invite similar process but it worked without a hitch If Microsoft wants iPad users to use Lync they better figure out how to make it painless     Cant enter number

This app frequently does connect to server It could be that the Lync service is buggy or that the app is buggy From a user point of view it doesnt skewed a difference The Mac app just had an update to fix connect to server issues Perhaps this app has the same issues        Doesnt work more often than it does

this app is BUGGY you get a blank screen more often than not also if you miss a conversation you really miss it it does not keep a record of missed conversations i realize the app is free but just because it is free does not mean you should not take pride in your work disgraceful     Horrible app from an even worse company
