### 3/5 — Dates are not always great

*2026-04-03, version 37.2*

The updates made it very difficult to copy a shot and edit by inserting text. They made it much more difficult instead of making it easier.

### 3/5 — Good

*2026-03-05*

Not complete control like web interface but the app is doing its job. Example cant able to downliad data in app version. Where as in web version we can download

Difficult to review from your phone.    Missing some tabs

### 4/5 — Cannot save/print

*2026-01-04, version 36.3*

If you’re using power bi on pc you can print files but not on my iPhone? 
Doesn’t make sense to me, what if the pc is down and I still need to print out documents and files.

### 5/5 — General manager

*2025-11-12, version 35.7*

Awesome

### 1/5 — Apple software update 26.0.1 repair request

*2025-11-02, version 35.6*

After the Apple software update 26.0.1 the app opens but nothing will load. 
It acts like it will, but gets stuck and never loads. 
I use this app for my job. 
I’ve uninstalled this app and updated it and still have the loading issue.

### 1/5 — No easy excel import

*2025-10-28, version 35.6*

I should easily be able to insert an excel db but I see no import button

### 1/5 — Bit

*2026-02-14, version 36.8*

Not user friendly

### 1/5 — Half baked, slow and not at all user friendly

*2026-02-12, version 36.8*

Coming from other BI Tools, this is a massive step down.Even when working with very small files (<10 MB) , every single operation takes 10 to 15 sec which is ridiculous.Wonder how Microsoft thought this was Production ready

Secondly , connectivity even with Microsoft own native apps is ridiculously complicated.!Try bringing in a file from Sharepoint to understand the frustration

### 1/5 — Clogged

*2026-02-11, version 36.8*

Every tab has a ton of fake reports

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-01-18, version 36.5*

How many times can you expect one person to login and enter their credentials before you can actually do anything? It’s just a circle of going from different sites to re-enter your password, then back to an authenticator app and then the whole shebang starts all over again. I feel like all of the new Microsoft updates have done nothing but waste my time.

### 1/5 — Apple

*2025-12-21, version 36.0*

Does work with my apple phone

### 1/5 — Bom apenas para PC

*2025-12-10*

O app não é otimizado para celular. Bom apenas para pc.

### 1/5 — Drops out

*2025-11-21, version 35.7*

Does not work consistently, pay a fee for no return

### 1/5 — Doesn’t open on the iPad Air

*2025-11-09, version 35.6*

App just crashes when you try to open it. Pointless.

### 5/5 — Ease of Use and Power in a Story

*2026-05-07, version 37.3*

I do have an academic certificate for PowerBi however trying without a cert is as powerful. It’s easy to navigate with some basic directions. Next to always holding the flag pole for Excel being MSO greatest invention, PBI has been a dark beautiful horse. Give it a try you would never turn back.
