Microsoft Lists User Reviews

It has potential

Using lists should be fast. This app requires too many approval operations. For instance when changing the value for a choice column. This app is more of excel with lipstick.

So disappointed!

I was so excited to see this app - exactly what I was looking for. Until I saw that it’s only available for commercial 365. Any possibility this will be rolled out for us mere mortals that subscribe to Office 365?

Can’t view comments

The app doesn’t let you view it create comments for each list item.

Drafts of new items are erased

If you navigate away from the app (go to home screen, switch app), any in-progress addition to a list is completely discarded when returning to the app. This completely negates any convenience or usefulness of the app for me; I am constantly switching between my lists and other programs/windows on a computer. Please fix this and I’ll update my review and continue using the app.

Not supported for Outlook

Why can’t outlook users use this app? I love using Microsoft services but when I went to this today it required a work or school account and I had neither. Please make this supported for more than just 365 users.

Can’t use personal account

Really disappointed you’re not able to use this with a personal account. What about the people who don’t necessarily have a work or school email?

Can’t delete views

Like title says. I want to change the filters on a view but it won’t let me overwrite or delete the view.

How do you scroll across Columns on desktop app

Is there a way to scroll across columns on desktop application?
I don't see the scroll bar (icon) on the bottom.

Response from developer

We are sorry that you are facing this issue. Bottom scroll is available on web / desktop but we request you to contact Office Support https://support.office.com for resolving any web experience related issues. Regards Mobile Lists Team

Nice App but…

This is a nice app, but would be much more useful to me if the photos could be captured in a off line mode and sync’d later. For inventory, you often are in places with no wifi or access to cellular signal.

Response from developer

Thank you for the useful feedback. The app currently does not have this functionality. We will look into this and track this as an area of further improvement for our future updates. Please stay tuned and we appreciate your support in improving Lists experience. Regards Microsoft Lists Team

Lookup fields are read-only 😫

Pleeeeease get lookup columns working! Do you have an estimate of when this will be functional? Would love to recommend to my clients, but this is a deal breaker. Nice to use otherwise.
