Leave a Review Microsoft SharePoint
Unusable - illogical and cumbersome
This app is poorly made which results in a cumbersome user experience. In order to login to an institutional account, the app crashed twice and required reset to allow logging in. It took an average user in our company 15min.
After login, in order to access the homepage of our SharePoint site, it takes 4 clicks. (Frequent sites - our page - navigation bar - home). It would be far better if it included an option to set a home page that the app opens to, or allows you to list your preferred sites. It does neither.
Lastly, once you’re on the SharePoint website page, it has less functionality than in a browser. It doesn’t have back buttons, doesn’t have search, doesn’t allow easy downloading or viewing of files. The navigation bar sometimes crashes and the app occasionally requires restarting.
It’s such a shame because this app never had to be this bad. Seeing this terrible functionality, our company decided to use an iPhone iOS shortcut to open our SharePoint page in the safari browser. It works great and has none of the problems above.
It’s my hope that in the future, SharePoint can improve this app to remove the above errors and elevate the functionality beyond what can be done in safari or a regular browser.Show lessOver engineering/google wannabe
For people that work in the field and are not up to date with all the new ways to upload or “share” one would think an app with the word share in the title would be the easiest thing to do! But instead your design team is disconnected from the world outside of the cubicle they live in… stop trying to be something you are not and get back to the basics. No one wants another social media platform to deal with! Just make something simple and to the point, dare to be original for a change… you do realize the last people who didn’t have cell phones and computers in every house is starting to be the ones in charge of the world, think like they do and how much simpler things where for them 30-40 years ago.
Also which ever one of you intelligent idiots design a system that you can use the keyboard on your iPads that will scroll up as you type so you don’t have to close the keyboard to see what you have typed.

There are so many great things about SharePoint, but I am constantly unable to navigate to the files I need in the app. It is beyond frustrating. The entire point of several companies I work with setting this up was to be able to access files remotely, and repeatedly, this function has alluded many of us. Recent files is not enough, it is difficult to navigate to older files. Also, at times it is difficult to navigate between profiles. I suppose on the whole 1 star rating is harsh, but this app has failed me time and time again.Show less
