Handy for report developers, with some room for improvement
11/30/2023

As someone who develops Power BI reports, I appreciate the ability to pull up a report on my phone and refresh a dataset (sorry, “semantic model”) from my phone. When a refresh fails due to a random transient error, refreshing from the iOS app allows me to fix the issue when I’m not near my work laptop. My only suggestion: My team relies heavily on Power Platform Dataflows, so it would be a huge quality of life improvement if we could also refresh dataflows through the app.

The concept behind this app, and the functionality it provides in connecting to big data is invaluable. The problem is that there are many (many!) minor things that don’t work correctly or were not thought out, that they add up to this not being all that it should be. One immediate example - there is a navigation bar at the top of report pages that obscures the report below it. It would be a simple thing for MS to fix this by moving the report down slightly on the page, but as-is, makes it very difficult to use, especially if in your mobile report layout there are slicers or other navigation elements at the top of the page. I could go on (no freeze-pane functionality for tables, no long press to bring up tooltips, poor use of font shrinking, etc), but hope MS puts polishing this app high on the priority list!

Navigation and card issue
12/09/2020

Kinga3736362736
It’s very easy to view reports in the app and the performance speed is much faster, however it’s difficult to navigate.If I open a report and manipulate the filters multiple times, I have to keep pressing on the arrow in top left corner to go back to the list of my reports - is there a faster way? If there is, it’s not easy to find - not user friendly.Also, when looking at the report in horizontal way I cannot exit the app easily by swiping up from the bottom of my screen (I have an iPhone 11 and I exit all of my apps this way). What happens when I swipe from the bottom up is that the screen saver shows up positioned horizontally. There is no way to exit that - unless I turn off my phone.Also, one of my measures has spacing between values (using “ “&), the spacing is preserved when I first open the report but it’s not when I go back to that page from a different page.

Report accuracy

Reports either don’t load or are inaccurate due to data from other locations doesn’t transfer. If one report is accurate why isn’t the other report that pulls the data accurate. Leads me to believe the information is not trustworthy. We are 3 1/2 months into the year and still don’t have accurate information as to where we stand and don’t know what areas we need to improve on. It’s not fair to us that we have to react once the data and the reports are up to date. If one or more areas of our goals is lacking it’s hard to recover from by the end of the year. Especially when the rating scale changes and categories are changed. I do my job to the best of my ability and work hard to stay around a 2 rating overall. So not having accurate reporting is unacceptable.
