Needs fixed
Since the latest will not refresh
Bar Code Scanner
90% of the time it won’t read the barcode and that’s like just 1 of the many problems with this app. This app is absolutely trash it’ll kick you out and make you press”allow” but nothing happens.
not mobile friendly
As a large company utilizing, the power app is great on the computer and on the tablet and it would be great to integrate it into our mobile usage, but the app is not very user-friendly in the mobile devices. I do hope that we change this in the near future.
Terrible
Won’t open, just 4 dots over and over again. Awful
App is horrible
Only reason I use this app is because my job requires it. But good golly, it’s buggy, takes FOREVER to load, takes forever to navigate through portals or pages whatever you want to call them (again because of loading time) good luck trying to open it in a place with bad connection or WiFi if it already struggles in good connection. Classic Microsoft barebones app tbh
Apps glitch
The apps offered in the app glitch constantly and cause unnecessary stress
Update broke the app!
This needs to be fixed!
Bloatware
I can’t seem to fully delete whatever this is.
Power App aka Slow App
This app works when it wants, and when it works you can only make one data entry at a time otherwise it will not save all the entries you made. I use because my organization bases our yearly bonus off of it. Did I mention that this app doesn’t work all the time!
Keeps Logging out
The application keeps logging out automatically several times even I kept background refresh off.. please fix the bug as soon as possible.. also it’s quite slow while using application.. this must be fixed
Never works power apps
How to fix
Keeps crashing
App worked well for months but now will no longer open. It crashes after a few seconds and nothing seems to fix it, tried restarting but app still crashes at start up 😓
Annoying
If I see an old version of an app that I cannot use pop up as “favorite” on my screen one more time I’m gonna lose it
This thing already crashes randomly and refuses to “connect to network” when my connection is perfectly fine
Don’t know how it is for developers but it’s rage inducing for general users

Difficult to lunch the app
I have to click to the app 3-4 times to lunch the app in iPhone 15 pro max
Nothing but issues
I’ve had nothing but issues with the app when submitting my time to the point where I’m back and forth with the time person to fix it otherwise I’ll be missing money.
Please fix the glitches that this app has.

Slow and Slower
I can’t imagine a worse app. It runs as if it’s on dial-up.
Sooo Buggy
The app has gotten progressively worse over time. It takes forever for new apps to appear in the list. Even after logging out and logging back in, closing the app, clearing the cache…nothing seems to work. Awful execution and an apparent lack of testing.
App crashes every time I open
I would love to use this. But it crashes every time I open the app. I’ve tried restarting, updating the iOS. Nothing worked.
Crashes at load screen
I have tried several times reinstalling it but hasn’t fixed the issue. Anytime I open it it doesn’t even get past the load screen on the main app. I’ve made sure everything is updated because previously the Program would load but the apps created would get hung up at the load screen. Very frustrating.
PowerApps does not work
I’ve tried getting into the app many many times. I use the app because my school uses it for rewards and i got a reward today and I tried logging in using my school email and a screen slides up and it stays white and loading. It’ll be loading forever like i can’t even use the rest of the app because it won’t load. I’ve tried deleting the app, reloading, even restarting my entire phone and it won’t work. I really need this app fixed now please Microsoft!!!
Why
I’m not sure why I can’t use a personal email to sign up….
The app asks for a work or school email.
It would be nice to use the app with a personal email if I’m working on something on my own time and not at work or for school related assignments

Disrespectful of User’s time
You ask me to review your app WHILE I AM TRYING to get in the door. Please do no ask me while I’m trying to check in or check out. There is too much stuff going on. Send me an email,I’ll review your app on my time. Also, perhaps instead of having 2 buttons for check in, or check out, have a “next” button, and use Che k in on the final screen.
Finally, please allow my phone number to save on my screen. My last home number entry was 4 digits off because of the miniature size of your font. I cannot see what I’ve typed. My phone number doesn’t change daily, so that data point could be saved for each day.

No Daily Pass
I neee the Daily Pass to enter campus. Unfortunately, when I tap “all apps” no Daily Pass is even available. I have to go through the Daily Pass website each time.
No easy
No easy to look and/or stamp something
Bogus - Waste of Precious Time
The use of this app as a “mouse in a maze” behavioral training technique is quite obvious. Don’t follow directives, then you don’t get the cheese. This app assists PC America in exploiting the ability to think for themselves. It enables corporate exploitation by suppressing free thought and mandating useless directives for the sake of compliance. Prioritizing power and greed are detrimental to society.
LAUSD Daily Campus Access App Fail
Asks you to sign in with “work or school email” and even know I access LAUSD with my gmail, doesn’t accept it. Put my sons school email address in - worked once then never again. said I “didn’t have access to the app” had to delete. To bad we literally need this *every day* to access campus. Can only do what I need to do on the Daily Pass website.
Doesn’t allow me to get my Daily Pass
I need this pass to be able to go to my school, and I have tried several times, but it keeps saying I “need to have permission.” I am a teacher and this is causing quite a bit of stress.
Continues to disappoint
Recent changes have made it impossible for end users in the field to use making it a pointless app now. And they want to charge us $10-$40 per user per month. Very bold Microsoft....very bold.
Sticky button
My first question on my questionnaire doesn’t change until like the 20th time you click it
Location bug
In order to sign back in to my school using this app it uses my location to check if I'm actually on campus and half the time it's wrong and refuses to let me sign in which in turn results in me going through a big hassle to let someone know I'm actually back.
What does this even do?
Work told me to download this app onto my work phone. I have used it a handful of times. It has a new update at least twice a week.
Not responsive
The screen size is messed up because nothing is responsive. One app can’t scale from desktop to iPhone, so things look AWFUL.
FAKE APP
When you haven’t ever used the app, it doesn’t even let you make an app! It makes no sense, it is a fake app. And that is sad because it is by the Microsoft Corporation!
Timesheet
Timesheet app is awful. Unable to save with out submitting. Unable to add multiple job numbers to single employee.
Call log not functioning properly
This app is very inconsistent about logging the calls. That is my only complaint. Please fix it.
Could use some improvements
We use this app to receipt Parts in for a John Deere dealership at times it is very laggy has connection issues when we have full Wi-Fi signal, and if we have to scan a barcode, and it cannot read the barcode if you manually type in the part number you have such little time before it automatically returns to accept what you have typed in I wish there was a setting to change this time or only use the done or return button
Power apps crashes
You’re able to login, when you go to select anything the app crashes every time.
Was working and now my apps are gone
I can no longer view my apps and are not searchable anymore after the update today.
Apps disappear
Red Dog the only app I use keeps disappearing and I have to download it,
Removes apps from favorites
I keep adding the same app to my favorites to make it easy for me to access and the app removes it.
Apps not opening
This is the second I download it. I get a message saying not authorized.
Can’t find what I need
I’m signed in and I get nothing. I’m on the all apps filter and nothing is coming up. I need to get an app for my college through here and I’m seeing absolutely nothing on any of the filter pages.
Despite logging hours and with proper sign in and sign off keeps getting alerts
I sign in and out everyday properly marking hours but everyday get email mentioning Incase you missed to log off please do so. Where as I login and log off as required.
Requirements
Should note that need a business or educational email account to activate this application. Retired and would like to tinker with this but apparently I’m not eligible.
Request
I wish I could edit workout notes after submitting.
App keeps closing/crashing
We use single app mode on iPads and the app keeps crashing and reloading back to the app selection screen.
