Will not allow log in with ms Authenticator

Enter email address linked to ms Authenticator press next. Error 1001.

Great start.

Not intuitive to me

I spent a good 45 minutes on it and couldn't grasp any more than the basics. In didn't find the work progress tracker at all intuitive and couldn't figure out how I might group tasks or create subtasks within a work item. Maybe it doesn't support that basic functionality. I finally gave up. For free task management I'd recommen Apple Reminders (for iPhone users) or Microsoft ToDo.

Nice !

Am hoping we can export as csv (or ?) and also, within “Choice” columns I have ordinal choices I would like to re-order when I add another ’choice’ !

The app is not very usable

We use this to track issues and provide comments and updates in the office on each case. I wish I could easily update cases or provide comments on the list.

Handy to check and update on the go

It would be much more useful if it could show the board view like planner so updates can be made by simply dragging and dropping the cards to the appropriate bucket.

Thank you for your feedback. The team has this request under review. We will share an update as soon as one is available.

Great but wish it was more reliable

In theory this app could be great for our use case. The desktop/online version works great and never has any issues. The app however can be very frustrating to use. I keep get “something went wrong” when trying to save the data and have to keep closing and reopening the app.

New list item submit issue

When I submit first time a new list item in the mobile app, pop up the message”something went wrong”. But a new item has already been created.

Custom Formatting

I do like that there’s dedicated app for accessing lists. When will it support custom list formats (one of the most useful lists features)?

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are aware of this ask and we are looking into it. We will update when there is more information to share.

The whole Lists system is unforgivably buggy

Filters on booleans and on [Today] just inexplicably stop working in the UI and on the web (despite the expected results still being available via an exported Excel query), and somehow M and S come before A and B when sorting alphabetically. There is no meaningful or easy way to report these bugs—the IT admin of our 7,000+ organisation doesn’t have time to act as a proxy between me, the bug reporter, and Microsoft. This product has so much potential, but it’s horribly, horribly let down by the most basic of bugs.

App no longer working

I previously could use Microsoft list to edit entries. I had on SharePoint and create new list within sections. Now whenever I open the list, I can’t find any data entries and I can no longer create an entry.
