Updated

Update: it turned out that the ‘unable to import certificate’ was a temporary problem and I was able to import the certificate the next day. I am no longer able to import certificate for my vpn in this app. (Error message: ‘import PKCS12 failed with error’) I imported the same certificate to anyconnect on another ipad (ios13)a couple months ago, and to legacy anyconnect on my current ipad (ios11) about a year ago. But now I can neither delete nor import the certificate in either anyconnect or legacy anyconnect on any of the two ipads.

iOS 14 issues (?)

Using this app for work, but since my upgrade to iOS 14 the app began to block my internet connection. I’m at home, connected to WiFi and connected to anyconnect. I need to walk my dog outside, I take my phone go out, WiFi connection is dropped, LTE is in place - no connection to the internet as well as to my corporate resources (everything was fine on iOS 13, flawless reconnection from/to WiFi <-> mobile network). Now I need to disconnect from my corp gateway (and I’m online again), I connect to corp gateway (enter credentials, second factor etc., more time) and then everything works until I get to WiFi zone, where my phone connects to the hotspot and I’m offline again until I disconnect Cisco. Same stuff happens in the office now: I go from the corridor to elevator, WiFi drops, LTE lives and I’m offline. Can’t use the app now as I need to disconnect and reconnect manually now.

VPN Automatically connects without user permission

At least once daily, at a random time of day, the VPN will connect automatically and with no notification that it has done so. The little VPN logo just pops up on the top left all of a sudden. Considering a VPN routes all traffic through Cisco's network, this is an unacceptable privacy invasion. Also annoying bc there are random websites like 9to5mac that are blocked by Cisco and before I realized what was happening, was confused as to why it wasn't loading suddenly. The only way to prevent this is to delete the app between uses and reinstall. Before using the VPN for the first time each install, it won't auto connect so I basically avoid this app like the plague. I do work at Cisco and yes it does. Something is turning it on without me opening any Cisco apps including any connections so this is because of Cisco not another IT department

Less is not more

This review is specifically for the product logo. Who designed it? A 1st grader? It looks awful, like zero effort or thought went into the “design”. Seriously, who approved the change? The previous logo was better. It was obvious, unique, and did not need to be changed. The previous color pallet was warm and timeless. Who went into a board meeting and said “our design is no good, we need just a black circle and a singe curved green line. That makes it look better.” That person was an moron and I hope you read this and realize your graphic design skills are stuck in 2002. Why not just a single black line? Why not just a white square? Change it back, you hooligans.

Please help us to connect

Please , please pay attention and help us Considering the sensitive and critical conditions of IRAN The restriction created on the Internet has caused many VPNs to suffer from disruptions and failures Many people in Iran use your software and have problems with the new update Your old version 4.8 connects to the Internet easily and works, but the new version does not connect at all Currently, the old version is not available for download and only those who have not updated their Cisco can use it. Please advise, if it is possible to provide a link so that the old version can be downloaded, if so, what do you suggest? If the new update is done on version 5, I think it will work, please help us to work with Cisco. Thank you for your sincere cooperation.

Pls add save password

I love Cisco and i use this app for a long time but its really annoying that i have to enter password every time manually and it cant save it. even When the screen turned off, after i turn it on again i have to re-login and enter the password again I Don't know why they don't add such as this option

Works with 11.2 with caveat

With the server side workaround, AnyConnect now works on iOS 11.2, so I'm revising my rating from 1 to 5 stars. Previous review: The VPN client will fail to establish a connection if running on a device with cellular and Wi-Fi both enabled. I reported this bug months ago but nobody has fixed it yet. Workaround is to disable cellular then you will be able to establish a VPN connection over Wi-Fi. If you want to establish a VPN connection over cellular, you will need to disable Wi-Fi.

Unable to switch Groups

I have this app through my school and use it while I’m abroad in China. Works pretty well but it’s finicky when it comes to the way you access the school’s VPN. It’s worked in the past but this summer the app seems different. My school has a “General Access” option and a “Library Resource” option for VPN, but this iOS app doesn’t allow me to switch between the two and so I’ve been unable to use the app. I hope the developers resolve this in the future, but for now, this VPN is almost useless.

Almost perfect

Never really had a problem with it. Always works when I need it to. That said 1 thing I would like to see is when I use an iPhone I can’t save the password to one click sign in. I always have to write the password every time. Other than that I really can’t say anything bad about it. Definitely a great app!

It’s Bad

The vpn is blocking my internet and I’m getting so frustrated. My college is making us download yet another thing and I need to have it to change my classes but whenever I have the vpn on, it blocks my WiFi and I can do nothing. It keeps saying no internet connection when I have it on and I’m blocked from the website when it’s off. I’m not a tech person nor do I like dealing with anything that isn’t done by a click so I have absolutely no clue what I’m suppose to do.

When i open accounts and password and try to make my phone remember the password to this app there is a blank field that i need to fill and it says website and if I don’t fill it the process won’t be done actually I want the phone to remember the pass for this app not any website I really don’t know what to do

Connect every time

Every time i lock the screen or lose temporarily my internet connection i get disconnected so i must reconnect and put password again and again and again, Please consider to add option for saving passwords in new release

Great performance!

Using the app on deferent platforms for years. It’s just GREAT. I would rate it 5 star if there was a way to save passwords or use fingerprint instead. It’s frustrating to manually type it every time, especially for those who use it frequently. A gadget for toggling the connection would be awesome as well.

Why your app can’t save password

My problem is that why your app can’t save my vpn account password it’s really hard for me and more for my father to enter the password every time that we want to connect to vpn is it really hard for you to set some settings that could enable password save ? Please do it.

Issues after the most recent update

It worked well on my phone until the most recent update on June 23. I cannot access my school’s VPN anymore, which has caused a lot of trouble for my work and study. It can still work on my laptop where the app has not been updated.

iOS 14 Problem

All was fine and working like a charm but since I have upgraded to iOS 14 my connections get slower after like 15 minutes and my internet gets so slow I can’t do anything, I need to reconnect so I can use it again, I have several servers and this happens for all.

Fast connection

Fast and stable connection and that’s just enough. Thank you. But it’s needed a remember password option to make using it easier.

It works again!!

Latest version work great and fixes network connectivity in airplane mode issue of previous version.

This is one the worst VPN apps

Missing very simple basic features such as saving passwords. You can't have multiple usernames being saved. I'm frustrated by copy pasting credentials from other places to this app. It's like a year people are asking for this but it seems like cisco employees get their salaries to tell you to call your network administrator. This is 90 percent of the responses to any feature request.

Great but not enough

It’s great, but I have two problems: 1. I can't save the password, and every time I enter password 2. Sometimes selected network is changing to not selected

Works most of the time

The last two days the connection just keeps hanging on connecting. I tried closing and reopening the app and still the same issue occurs. I wish I got an error message or something so I knew what was going wrong. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get it working again.

Great Apple Watch Experience

Five stars because the watch experience has improved, thank you for your hard work!

Improve user experience and performance

As a Cisco product, highly recommend to improve user experience: such as automatically saving password to be easy to reconnect, less battery usage during VPN connection activation. Please optimize those ASAP.

AnyConnect cannot confirm it is connected to your secure gateway

I am keep on getting below error message on all my apple devices since last few months and not able to connect. However, all windows devices are working fine. VPN Firewall is ASA-5510 “AnyConnect cannot confirm it is connected to your secure gateway. The local network may not be trustworthy. Please try another network”.

Background app refresh

Hello. In our country, there are frequent network disruptions. Whenever the iPhone screen goes to sleep and we use the phone again, the VPN is connected but there is no data. If the background app refresh capability is enabled for Cisco, it might prevent this issue.

issue

I have been using the software for one day, and so far it has two issues that make it harder to work: first, when the screen is turned off, the VPN is disconnected Secondly, for each connection, a password must be entered, which is very time consuming

Newest version crashes on iPhone X 13.3.1. (Fix) I had to uninstall and re-install the app on my phone. Works great.

Breaks with MacOS 13

The app worked perfectly for me until I upgraded to MacOS 13.0.1. Now I can't connect to my VPN for work without downgrading the OS. My only workaround for the time being is to use my work issued Windows laptop which is pretty much the worst. PLEASE FIX!!!

Entering password 50 time per day

This app works good as a vpn but!!!!! You must connect every short while, every lost connection, every time working with phone and diming it, and you must type the password every time! This is dumb (And i know it is your privacy)
