I don’t see why users hate it so much.
I’m a network admin that uses this service daily. Well installs, configures, and manages daily. I have no real issue with this bundle, users tend to hate it but I think that lies more along the line of the lack of ability to remember a password or other basic and simple instructions. The network admins are the ones who have to configure the server and get it installed on end point devices. I don’t know why the users complain that it’s the devs fault when it’s technically their IT department that’s lacking in the training of its use. 3.5/5 stars from me because listening to everyone complain makes it harder to work with. P.S. if you want it to work let your IT department actually work with you and slow down while letting them show you what to do. 20 minutes to fix a problem is better than it not working for months.

Could use improvement but still not terrible
I really do not have an issue with this app overall, but I do wish that on my iPad, I could find a way to make it where if I delete an email it does not automatically open the email underneath it. On my cell phone, I have no issues with this but I cannot seem to locate a way to do that on the iPad. Otherwise, I find it helpful to see mine and my executives calendar and the email on the go. The biggest downside is that I notice a lot of times my calendar does not update on the fly. I’ll get meeting notices, when the meeting has been canceled already for a couple of hours. Overall, it is still nicer than having to carry two phones.

Latest updates have fixed my gripes
I originally gave this app 1 star because the performance on the iPad Pro was just abysmal, but over the last month or two (coincident with the release of iOS 13), performance is now what I would expect (I’m not sure if the performance issues were due to an iOS bug or a Blackberry Work bug, but regardless, it’s fixed!). Dark mode is fantastic. I really like the calendar widget. My only complaint at this point is the fact that the functionality is broken up between a number of apps that automatically switch between one another is a bit irritating, but it’s manageable.
