Interface Inferiority
Read title.
Why?
Just done update. UI looks bald with missing grid lines.
Signature page may as well be blank. Column on left flows through whole signature page giving room just to the right of the screen for signing. Can’t re-open attachment taken by camera on iPad.
Unable to send receipted items.

Slow and clunky
I think Microsoft tried to make this work, but it’s not a great experience. For example, when you switch between Dynamics and any other app on your ipad, it forgets what page you were on. So if you want to cut and paste details from an email or website into a record, it takes you all the way through the startup page and to your default view. So you are forced to navigate back through to where you were.
This isn’t helped by the general slowness of the Dynamics backend, so even on a Gigabit Internet connection, the whole application doesn’t feel very responsive by today’s standards.
It’s fair to say that this isn’t a modern looking iPad app, and in fact just looks like a web app that is supposed to be optimised for an iPad sized device.
They haven’t taken into account any of the advantages of being a proper iPad application, with the responsiveness and ease of use we have all come to expect by well developed mobile applications.
The iPhone version suffers from all the same issues by the way.
I’m hoping they will put some time into improving this over time!
