Tremendous Business Product
It’s easy to use and functions much like the full desktop version. Great way to organize your dashboards!
App Crashes Almost Immediately
I can’t open the app, even with the software updates. The app immediately crashes every time I try to open it.
Cannot save/print
If you’re using power bi on pc you can print files but not on my iPhone? Doesn’t make sense to me, what if the pc is down and I still need to print out documents and files.
Inventory doesn’t work right
Never works correctly
Need the ability to zoom in and out on the mobile app like you can on the desktop.
Need the ability to zoom in and out on the mobile app like you can on a web browser.
Business in you pocket
Checking your business data anywhere, anytime is easy when you have Microsoft Power BI
Half baked, slow and not at all user friendly
Coming from other BI Tools, this is a massive step down.Even when working with very small files (<10 MB) , every single operation takes 10 to 15 sec which is ridiculous.Wonder how Microsoft thought this was Production ready Secondly , connectivity even with Microsoft own native apps is ridiculously complicated.!Try bringing in a file from Sharepoint to understand the frustration
BI
Fabulous Tool !
Poor Design
Microsoft can do better than this design for portrait devices. Please overhaul this app for phones and tablets.
Dates are not always great
The updates made it very difficult to copy a shot and edit by inserting text. They made it much more difficult instead of making it easier.
The best in dashboards
If you want to take your dashboard reporting to the next level and get your team excited about daya ise Piwer BI
Clogged
Every tab has a ton of fake reports
Not 100% Broken Anymore
Works again after latest update. Thanks!
Overengineered and cumbersome app
The app is useful and fairly accurate for generating dashboards for measurables. But… the dropdown menus for selecting date ranges are sloppy and cumbersome (just show a monthly calendar, not dropdown menus for dates, which is ridiculous). You waste so much of my time with the clunky menus and graph displays. The app is not intuitive… and is needlessly complicated. For example, one of my measurables shows up a a dot in a box on the screen, which I need to select with my cursor to see the data. Just show the data on a chart and get on with it. Keep it simple! Also, once you select a date range to view, the date range does not display on subsequent tabs you look, since the date range is a pop-up menu that needs to be closed to view some of the data on the tabs you select. It would be so much easier to have a date range selection field on EVERY you view. I am so disappointed with the sloppy design of this app… there is room for great improvement. We’re in 2024, not 1995!
Phone usage
Difficult to review from your phone. Missing some tabs
Sales associate
Data helps Counsel and reconcile the information hidden beneath the details. I appreciate the insight and support 🫡
Worthless
How many times can you expect one person to login and enter their credentials before you can actually do anything? It’s just a circle of going from different sites to re-enter your password, then back to an authenticator app and then the whole shebang starts all over again. I feel like all of the new Microsoft updates have done nothing but waste my time.
闪退
设计到18.4后，闪退，望修复
Could be better
The reports contain the information I require, but difficult to navigate.
Difficult to navigate and switch between pages

Power BI
Power BI has transformed by elaborate excel graphs to easily adjusted dynamic charts and visuals that clearly show progress and changes in our business. I highly recommend diving into the unlimited world of Power BI !
Apple
Does work with my apple phone
Speed is quite slow
Fetching reports on inventory, coolers takes too much time
Power bi
Please do you have power bi for Mac?
Not enough training exercises
Should have more demos and online training
General manager
Awesome
Apple software update 26.0.1 repair request
After the Apple software update 26.0.1 the app opens but nothing will load. It acts like it will, but gets stuck and never loads. I use this app for my job. I’ve uninstalled this app and updated it and still have the loading issue.
Mobile view report in PDF
Hello, Can I convert report into pdf and share with other person through this mobile app?
Can’t see data
Unable to read the dada as the background is white and so is the text so you can’t see the details.
Drill through not working and app slow in loading
Drill through is still not working please share new update with this feature. And we observed slow in loading performing
Dropdown
When slicers are used as dropdowns, the border for the input cannot be set. Requesting that feature. Noticed a bug where the borders don’t appear on web view, there’s some inconsistency
No easy excel import
I should easily be able to insert an excel db but I see no import button
Feedback
Excellent BI tools
Sso login error required a delete app to be fix
Great app but once in a while I need to delete the app and reinstall it to fix a sso login.
A little clunky
Not quite a slick interaction, and even with a larger tablet I think it would be missing a trick. Needs to be easier to navigate
Phenomenal
Top notch! 10 out of 10!
Something went wrong
The app always has an error with something went wrong. Lab top error, iPad error, iphone error. It’s supposed to make my work easier and faster. Most of the time I have to make my reports manually 🤦🏻♂️
Good
Good app. One thing that would be good is the ability to manually refresh the reports (if your the owner of them). The power I website isnt very mobile friendly so it’s a pain to log on there to do it.
Poor UX
Really poor navigation and UX
No login on open security
The App looks great and works really well. However, because we use it to do financial reporting and other sensitive information I’m going to have to delete it from my phone. The reason is that once you sign in, you can launch the app without any further security. The developers need to look at Touch ID login on launching the app, or a pin or something like most apps with sensitive data use. Shame I fundamentally cant keep it on my phone.
Can’t find anything
Too many filters
Not user friendly
Having trouble navigating this app, NOT intuitive.
Great app with lot of features
Like the app. Has evolved to quite an extent. A full screen feature will be an awesome feature to get
Slow performance
App very slow, data refresh also not reflected
Needs a few things
Apple Watch only sync's first time, you then need to force close the Watch app and relaunch to re-sync. And the iPhone & iPad app is missing the ability to Refresh dashboard tiles, that's pretty core for a mobile realtime viewing.
Important
All my important reports at my fingertips. I also love the reminder feature.
No access to reports
I cannot access reports through this app
Power Bi
Good app, well laid out however functionality could be sharper, other than that solid.
A
Not user friendly
Watch doesn't sync
Power Bi is a great tool, the mobile app is equally a really amazing feature, and will improve with time as they constantly continue to update. However the watch part doesn't work - activating on my watch it just shows no dashboards even though the phone app says its synced a dashboard with watch.
