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 lessOliverClark
Over 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.

Frustrated
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 lessAnnaoxie Horse
Searching
SharePoint is so versatile, that’s why it’s great and everyone is using it throughout our organization. The search function needs to improvement so you can further define specifics to find exactly what you want, without have to go through many pages of results.HDultrarider
Great app - needs to be refined
I think the app works fine for most. However there are some things I wish could be more refined. Like the Office 365 group calendar for some reason not working. Better optimizations on iPad when scrollingCurdelGrig
App is unusable for uploading stuff
I’m not a boomer who has no idea how to use technology—I’m pretty good at navigating directories and googling my way out of programming problems, but after 20 minutes struggling to upload a file with a clunky interface for iOS, I’ve given up. I’m almost convinced it’s because Microsoft wants to punish users with iPhones (or that Apple wants to make it unbearably hard for Microsoft to design their ecosystem on iOS), but regardless this is ridiculous. Back to emailing to myself and uploading on a computer.Show lessjmisci
Easy to navigate
Sharepoint is an easy, fast, accurate resource for information. The pages load quickly and the links are well mapped out. No issues here, love the app!HealthyMe!
App keeps logging me out
Hello ,
Everytime I close the phone or minimize the all on my phone it makes me log back in everytime now . I have a iPhone 12 Pro Max and it use to never make me log in now every time I want to use SharePoint on my phone it makes me log into the app . I have restarted my phone and everything . Looks like the app needs to update but shows no update available on SharePoint for my phone . Any suggestions or help with this would be greatly appreciated as I use it a lotShow lessmatthewshaneredhawk13
Account issues
Ever since the update a few months ago, the app is somehow tied to an old work account I don’t use. I’ve been unable to sign in via the correct work account no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall.
I’m unsure how to unlink the attribution between my phone and the obsolete account.
I use the app on my iPad and love it. My work integrates heavily with sharepoint to include a calendar we all work from. The ability to pull the calendar up on a native app is much more convenient than logging in to the browser. I just don’t know how to fix accessibility on my phone.
Additionally, the app view of the calendar list is pretty vanilla. Being able to view all the color overlays like the browser would improve the experience a lot. As is-it serves the need to make accessing the information quickly and reliably.Show lessluneknight42
SharePoint app needs to go away
Come on, SharePoint team. Either have the app present the sites as designed, lists, libraries and all, or just kill the app in favor of the browser. Why won’t it present a document library as the views are designed? All these years, and we can’t get a consistent experience out of the app, then it should just go away. If I could block our users from downloading this, I would.Show lessBrent Hawthorne
