This app's alright, it does allow you to take the Packet Tracer experience mobile (if you're so enclined). However, until there's an update that makes it compatible with the current desktop version it won't be useful for any courses as I can't use it to actually *do* any labs or progress my learning. "This version is compatible with files up to version 7.0 of the Desktop edition." Fix that, update it and mame it compatible so I can do my course on the go and we're good!

I like the app. It's easy to learn and people made video for this app but I have a trouble. Everytime I try to login with my account, it's always pop up a notice that Cisco app couldn't find my account. It's strange because I can always login with my Cisco account on the web. However, I wanted to save my network on Cisco app but because I couldn't login and I chose guest login, it's failed. Please help me.

Good networking tool. Though it's complicated 2 login but one can select guest option n wait 4 those few seconds. N since it's the only available networking simulation tool out there, It doesn't deserve any much criticism from me coz u guys r trying as well. Though I would appreciate it more if u guys could try to eradicate that waiting time from the guest option.

Appears that the app will force you to rotate the screen, making it impossible to scroll the page or click any buttons, because the buttons are on the part of the page which is cut off. Wish I could attach the screenshot...

Can't log in. Start app, hit log in, then it just goes back to the same page giving the option to log in or be a guest. Moto G7 running Android 10.
