Use PowerBI Instead
Data studio is just so unbelievably underwhelming. I tried out data studio pro since my data already existed in Big Query and Google Sheets and I wanted access to analytics on my phone, but the options for visualization is incredibly limiting, clunky to work with, and does not translate well to mobile at all. I canceled before my free trial ended and switched to PowerBI. It’s a night and day difference. Save your time and just start with PowerBI

Doesn’t work
Can’t click on anything to see reports pointless app.
Can’t access what I need
The app works fine for viewing existing dashboards that don’t need to be refreshed. I can’t clear cache and refresh to get updated data or rebuild derived tables. I can’t explore from here or alter anything at all besides filters. Also on mobile browser, it’s impossible to paste into certain fields, making it also very difficult to use when the app is not usable. I appreciate the presence of the app, but the limited features make it frustrating to use.

Unfit for purpose, sadly
Cannot sign in with valid credentials. Sign in form really difficult to use. Cannot exit sign in flow, as app crashes. Help link takes you to a 404 page. Not fit for purpose.
Couldn’t login
I have a regular Google account with a Looker account. I couldn’t login on the app: it wouldn’t let me login, and pro said I didn’t have access via my account. Anyone having login issues?
