Microsoft Power BI Positive Reviews

Handy for report developers, with some room for improvementAs 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..ClsauraVersion: 29.8

Almost there...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!.JoecefisVersion: 17.4

Incredible app with exciting possibilitiesAs a BI Analyst / developer I use this app every day. I include a mobile view of every report I make knowing how easily others can view the report in the app. I hope that online services are in the works to be added. I would love to be able to manage workspaces, refreshes, and permissions from the app - that would be a huge feature for any data governance steward..SviesaVersion: 26.1

I do like this app/program overall!Hello! My company recently ended a contract with a company offering similar services. I do like this program! It seems to be very versatile. I look forward to working with IT to fine tune it to best suit our needs. Question though - would it be possible enlarge the icons at the top of the window (Sales and Profit window)? That is, to the left, the arrow pointing up/2 down, surrounding icons, and on opposite side of window filter symbol/arrow/maximize icons as well as the icons to the far top right. I actually created a picture for descriptive purposes. Unfortunately, no way to upload here. We have 40 sales reps in the field who will be using this exclusively on iPads and phones. Enlarging the icons for better maneuverability when drilling down on analysis - I can already tell from some feedback - will make a huge difference. Thanks and looking forward to further development of this app!.MahzVersion: 20.4

The Power of the Power PlatformIf only business leaders truly understood the Power of this tool, to move business forward with data. We often look for tech in our day to day with the latest phone and cars, but many times over look it in our business..Oldcorps41Version: 26.6

IPad Interface is great for viewing dashboards, but…I love being able to view dashboards directly through my iPad, but inevitably, you want to see the most recent data. The application currently does not support the ability to kick off a data refresh. This would be an extremely useful feature and the lack of it usually puts me back on the web interface..TechPopsVersion: 24.2

Mobile app experience needs enhancingI love that I am connected with my dashboards and reports at all times but there is too much limited functionality in the app. I would like to see enhancements for selecting multiple categories from a slicer as well as options to edit my gateway from settings..RedundencyredundencyVersion: 14.1

Barcode scanner filterHi Team, I am trying to use barcode scanner. I am able to scan it and it is taking me to the correct barcode report but I don’t see any scanner filter option on my phone app screen. I am not Able to filter my report with the scanned barcode value. I saw many blogs on google that this issue existed earlier due to some bug in app and has been fixed. But I still don’t see it in my app. I am using version 18.7, please help..SSingh11Version: 18.7

ExcellentOverall, the program works perfectly to show up to date numbers and charts. The only negative feedback would be that you can’t complete your itrack objectives directly through power bi..MT$123Version: 29.1

Great App, UI Needs Some AttentionThe app is a great tool to allow users to review data and conduct quick analysis on the go. However, some of the user interfaces need attention. I find it often on my iPad or iPhone that we I scroll on a page the header and footer info do not close allowing you to see all of your data. The markup feature is great but again the UI could use some attention. It is a great tool and app for BI!.Amayes90Version: 17.1

Drill Down on MobileThere must be a better way to drill down on your data from the mobile app. Only way to do this effectively is from a desktop. Not very convenient..AA124455);8;!;Version: 19.3

Cumbersome problematic systemDifficult to see most needed data. Layers that need to access on phone are cumbersome, load fails frequently l, then can’t zoom to see info. Been using for 9 months and still very frustrated accessing data. Definitely do not recommend this platform. Our old simple data platform far exceeded this..MdtemplVersion: 20.9

Better on a bigger screen but great to have on your phoneUse on the phone is good but to really use the tools it’s best to use on an iPad or laptop. Still, it great to have access to the necessary data on your phone. 4 stars as it still crashes occasionally..Discrete DavidVersion: 19.3

Reverse the filter screen as defaultWhen opening for example the prior day sales it opens on the filter page and then you go into the prior day sales. It would be best and faster if it opened to the prior day sales page and then the filter page was default. Please change.BelgianGazelleVersion: 21.0

TipYou might notice that some dashboards take too long to render though the app or don’t render at all. Delete the app completely and re-install. This will fix that issue.Macbolan75Version: 17.2

Microsoft Power BI Negative Reviews

Navigation and card issueIt’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..Kinga3736362736Version: 21.9

Report accuracyReports 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..Wonder365Version: 28.2

Problematic card viewerThere is a Microsoft custom visual called a card viewer that is demonstrated with baseball players, you can insert a picture and include lots of great information on and “flip the card” to see even more information…. However in the mobile app this wonderful visual only works about 20% of the time and the rest of the time it won’t even show up, so what is a wonderful effect on the desktop ends up being an empty screen on the phone. I am giving this one star in the hopes that the good folks at Microsoft will address the issue. I’ve tried adding my review to the online forums with no luck. Aside from that this is a wonderful app, here’s to hoping that this review will get someone’s attention. 🤞.Jon.upshawVersion: 27.6

CumbersomeThe attractiveness of apps, generally speaking, is their ease of use, a good UI, etc. This app lacks all the things that make an app fun or useful to use. Rather it’s a prison sentence that you’re shackled to to get your data because your employer paid god knows how much to subscribe to this pain inducing piece of software. Can’t wait to leave elements like this behind. Truly a shining example of why corporate life is such a soul crushing waste of one’s life, especially highlighted by the minuscule type size you’re expected to read. I mean wow, not a good experience..Ethan HauptliVersion: 30.7

Not a fan, over complicatedNot user friendly. Impossibly to find simple information. Trying to sort down to district level is a challenge and there are far too many options that aren’t labeled clearly enough to find the information I need quickly. The old version of sellmax was a fast one stop place to get the number I need. I have yet to find any of the info I have looked for on here any of the times I have tried. It shouldn’t be this difficult.KennewockVersion: 25.8

TMThis is not a good what to get margins. It is slow, does not give a margin in a good time. One day we will move forward to the system we have before. What a waste of time. The people that come up with this stuff have not idea of moving , driving, standing in the street. They sit at a desk and decide what to use. To a person everyone like the last system we had..Streamlined98Version: 31.3

App doesn’t capture dataI’m unsure why the iPad app doesn’t reflect the settings or data I load into the desktop version of Power BI and subsequently uploaded to the web. For example, the iPad app doesn’t capture the filter settings I have (single select vs. multi select) and omits items in that filter. The desktop version behaves/responds as intended. This is a disappointment..GBH50Version: 23.4

Apple Watch StuckAfter latest update the Apple Watch portion of this app stays on sign in page even after reinstalling and restarting both phone and watch. No relevant support on website or help files to troubleshoot. May be a bug with latest set version..BriLucchesiVersion: 23.8

Version 15.9 on 6/15 breaks iOS iPhone X viewingApp was working great until the 15.9 release on 6/15. Neither mobile dashboards nor reports load in the new version on an iPhone X. Load and refresh messages flash for a few seconds and then a blank screen. Unfortunate, as the app had been really useful previously. I have logged in/out, even deleted and reinstalled the app to no avail..HotCalSunVersion: 15.9

SalesAbsolutely awful. Way too busy. you need an instruction booklet to go on here and find information. I was the time to go over the instruction booklet every time you get home. I work in the field and don’t spend my time in front of a screen. I need information readily available. This is not it. TMI..Bigdawg417457Version: 23.9

Hopeful but terribleIt’s good enough that you try to use it but more often than not you will encounter frustrating bugs that make it impossible to view reports. Keep trying Microsoft. It’s always an amazement that you’re still in business..Jnxs27272Version: 17.4

Useless since last update.After the last update I cannot load any of my reports. They say can’t display visual when they worked just fine prior to the update. Unless it’s fixed this app is now useless. I’m very frustrated with it to say the least..Sirenbhd1979Version: 26.3

Power BiI just opened my power Bi and see my customers name different people, they messed up my cutomers list, they are not my cutomers, thats crucial. Is the system not reliable….????.Wt mepsVersion: 31.5

Overengineered and cumbersome appThe 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!.Bbjj123423454326Version: 30.7

Stick to the KISS rule.Terribly over engineered. I should only have access to reports that have functional data for my own use. Menus are too cluttered. The inconsistency of the data communicated between bi and our other programs ESS is absolutely astounding and unacceptable in a world ran bully technology and numbers. Leaving room for questioning accuracy in a timely basis should be priority number 1. Not how many different kinds of graphs you can show with the exact same date. The graphs don’t matter at all if the data isn’t current and unknown to be accurate. You would have more people use it if it was much more simply designed and functional..Honest193846Version: 27.0

On iPad, not fit for purpose. Text too small to read, diagrams too small, maps too small.Ah Microsoft. The bigger the company gets, the dumber they get. Some departments good (Xbox, games for windows), some development departments staffed by clowns (office 365, power BI) Power BI is essentially useless on iPad. The text, diagrams and maps have tiny text, the maps only take up two thirds of the screen in portrait mode (what the? Guess devs are retards).... basically forget using it on iPad, you will strain to actually read anything. Menus are the SAME as the desktop/browser version, meaning tiny toggle arrows to click. Just spare a thought for folk who are trying it out on an IPHONE. you must need a magnifying glass to see that. Microsoft has for years an Achilles heel. They can’t leave anything alone once it reaches the pinnacle of design or usability. Power BI isn’t even anywhere near that stage yet, it’s still hot garbage on mobile devices. Otherwise, anything else you use software wise by MS, block or turn off updates if you like a program or application the way it is.... MS loooove fixing things that ain’t broken, they love to fiddle and twiddle, move buttons around, change the names of things, hide things, remove long loved features etc... Remember the office ribbon debacle in office 2007 when office 2003 file edit etc menus worked fine for decades? It’s still overly clunky, complex, too many buttons, confusing and still despised. Remember office groove? Then office Lync. No wait it’s called Skype for business. Groove was also windows 10 media player at one point. Now we have teams. Give it another 20 name changes and almost anything useful button wise turned into vague symbols you have to guess, and Microsoft should be at peak stupidity. For a company that makes such a cool line of consoles and games, (XBOX), competent hardware like mice/keyboards the rest of the company seem hell bent on changing things just to satisfy their own whims..Scotsman in CalgaryVersion: 21.8
