Microsoft Power BI Customer Insights

1. *latest updated fixed it for me, excellent!The app has basic UI problems that should be easy to fix, for example, when scrolling down sometimes it does it within the visual and others within the page, most things look crunched, it feels as an app from a student project more than a Professionally developed appVery hard to understand what I'm looking at and hard to navigate on a mobile device, every time go rotate phone horizontal the screen switches to vertical and vise versa.Scaling for mobile phones is terrible.

2. Trying to isolate tables to focus on them could be so much simpler than a shadow button popping up on mobile devices.First user has to have a phone capable of running the program worthy enough like Android with 8 gig ram phone 128 gig memory, then you problems won't be near severe!Works about 50% of the time.

3. Scrolling down is disabled so the filters from the filter pane of this nature can't be changed while viewing the report in mobile.I think Power BI is one of the best and easiest analytics programs on the market.

4. This may be related to specific devices, but has been my experience on smartphones from two different manufacturers.UPDATE: 5 stars! Microsoft fixed all the issues! This is so slick now! Old review: Report Navigation is clunky.

5. 2) I can't set defaults, i.e. default start screen 3) I can't refresh the source data or manage data in any way.It takes a while for the data to load in the morning.

6. It's hard to know where to click to filter, not intuitive at all.Better than Tableau in terms of mobile-friendliness, good interactivity in tapping filters and charts, but holy buckets man fix the toolbars.

7. I can never touch the right thing in the right way to get the data to filter how I want.

8. Even after it does, the integrity of the data is always questionable as it changes again later in the morning.

9. Hard to navigate mobile app, scaling isnt user friendly.

10. If using a relative date filter for dates in the last "x" number of days, weeks, months, etc.

11. The "Apply Filter" action button is partially blocked, not fully visible on screen.
