Always crash

The worst application ever

App crashes

App never got to work. I deleted it and redownloaded it and it still doesn’t work.

Não aparece os arquivos

Nao aparece os arquivos de ipa e apk para baixar nem o link pra fazer o download

Can’t download builds

What’s the point of this app if you can’t actually download builds…

Update -
Just realized this isn’t an official Microsoft app. To the app developer, listing the builds and including a url to the download page would be super helpful. App went from a 1 star to a 5 now that I know this isn’t an official Microsoft app.

App is actually great

Does exactly what I’d expect, and has most of the features you’d want on mobile. It’s sad that the other reviews on this app are filled with people who should really learn to read xP. Keep up the good work! And as a request, I’d love to be able to see more details on crashes <3

Response from developer

Thanks very much for your support! I am planning the next major release, and feedback about missing features or things to improve will be much appreciated. Please don't hesitate to contact me and send me your feedback. Thanks again

What is the purpose of the App?

Actually what is the purpose of the App. We could just view app list of apps and active users etc. I would suggest you to add an option to atleast get the link if each release and also if possible the download group which make a sense to the app.

Could you please add download app functionality

Would give more stars if you can add the functionality to download the app from the app center to the iPhone device directly using the app

Very handy

It gives a quick and secure way to see simple App Centre metrics.
It’d be nice to see support for events in there in the future, and maybe a link to the App Centre website if you wanted to see things in more detail.

Appcenter constantly crashes

Constantly crashes

Response from developer

Hello, and sorry for the inconvenience. A fix was sent to Apple due to errors on iOS 15.4 (the app is done in SwiftUI, which it's constantly changing).

Crashes on Launch for me

Launch. Crash. Lame

Unofficial app

Be cautious and do not provide it your access token

Yes!

This app is exactly what I was looking for. Now I just want more (analytics events, widgets, etc). Thank you dev for saving me from making this app myself!

Also, ignore the 1 star reviews, this app is great if you use it correctly.

Response from developer

Thanks very much for your review! Hope you join our beta testing program and love the upcoming new features!

Great app, very useful

Once you get a user api token(other reviewers that can’t figure that out should not be writing apps) the app works great. Easier to navigate on an iPad then a phone, but very useful on either. Developer also super responsive to feedback.

Response from developer

Dear user, Thanks very much for you feedback. Feel free to write to me with any questions or queries you may have. Thanks!

Why is this so hard to use

I just don’t understand how someone could make an app so unusable.
Confusing all the way through. From terrible log in, to account permissions and app handling, to app installs.

The only conclusion I have is that someone set out to make it unusable on purpose. I don’t see how it is possible to make an app (or website for that matter) this bad without meaning to

Response from developer

Dear user, Could you please upgrade to the latest version? If you have any problem with the new version, please, contact us. This version does not provide apps installation, only crashes and metrics. Thanks very much, App Central team

Why is it asking for Api token?

Asking for an api token does not make sense when users have no idea what it is. Why can’t we just log in using our account info? Unable to use.

Response from developer

Dear user, This application is intended for use by developers. As a developer, the term "API Token" should be well known. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not allow login using username and password. That is why this app uses the API Token. That said, the API Token is as secure or more than the use of username and password. Since you can configure what this application does with the API Token (scope). If you can't find your API Token, or you don't know how to generate it. In the login form there is a button that says "Find your API Token" that will help you locate it, or create one. I hope you can review your rating, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

What even is this?

I just wan to access my builds

Response from developer

Dear user, Accessing your builds will be available in a new version. Currently this version is under maintenance, and a new version is being built in parallel. Hope the rest of the app is useful for you, and you can review your rating. Thanks ver much.

Cant figure it out

Going past the landing login screen is very confusing, the ell is a api token ? I was under the impression that i could use this app to see the releases against an app i created on appcenter and maybe download them as well. Is that not the case?

Build

How do I build app using app center?

Do not download!!!

This app is a scam. Do not give your API Token to this random person.
