Microsoft SharePoint

As a student who needs the latest news as soon as possible, I give SharePoint a 4 star. Although sometimes the files go out of order and are just random, most of the time it just needs to be closed and opened again. The sign in process is really easy when you figure out your sign in details. Overall, I believe all workplace and school environments should have this app, it's is easy to use woth very minimal bugs.

Does not work with on-prem. If you like retyping URLs and passwords and watching an infinite "Loading" screen on mobile, it's great. If you actually want to access on-prem sites, a complete waste of time. Use the browser instead. It is a shame because it used to work, Microsoft are obviously being deliberately obstrutive in relation to on-prem users.

I couldn't make a more infuriating app if I tried. Where to even begin? It loads extremely slowly, but that can be tolerated. Probably the worst thing is that if you open a file and then go back you don't land in the folder containing the file. No, you land right back in the home page, so you have to navigate back to the file location. This makes looking at two separate files absolutely rage inducing. There's also no way to see the full name of files with long names and so so much more ..

Open files in excel app and word app doesn't work. It is showing me that apps are not installed, what is not true.

Very useful and easy to use. Is an efficient solution for business that just need something modern to use for team work purposes and tones of files management

What an absolute pile of garbage of an app.... Menu options change from page to page. Options are very limited. It's slow. It's painful. The list goes on, and on....

App doesn't update documents. I can't rely on it, especially for things like schedules, which makes it basically useless. Update: I posted this review in 2022. It's now 2024 and things have only gotten worse. The only way to get the app to refresh is to delete it and reinstall. Thanks, Microsoft!

I would love to rate this app higher if two changes were made: 1. Ability to link and sync Sharepoint Mobile to Outlook Mobile. I work in construction and am in the field approx. 75% of the time so streamlined on the go access is huge. 2. Ability to create and edit calendar items via Sharepoint Mobile. Our corporate schedule is dynamic so I need app capabilities to match. If these changes are already in play I'd love to know. My initial research thus far yields ittle. Many thanks, T.-

In general this app works pretty well but there are some glitches. For example, my theme color keeps switching randomly between yellow and blue (the correct color is yellow). When working with lists there are some glitches, like for some reason when editing a list item, it will not pull any lookup fields, they just show up as 'null'. I have seen a glitch a few times where when editing a list item, for a 'choice' column, it shows the choices for an adjacent column not the one being edited. &More

App is hard to navigate, and for the company that started Windows thats saying something, and it's completely unintuitive. Even DOS makes more sense. Why make a program dedicated to news and file sharing when you can only upload 1 file at a time? Even my phone gallery can select multiple photo files and upload them... Who managed this? Who failed? Even a photo album isn't considered a "folder". Someone should be dragged into the street and flogged for how bad this is.

Well I've always been a big fan of SharePoint, though hadn't really started to use it again until this year. There are many improvements to SharePoint in general, especially integration with Teams. And so I find the mobile app extremely helpful and surprisingly powerful. It does a really good job on its own of adapting the view and navigation. Then using custom list views and other features, it really allows for some nice interfaces to be designed for use on mobile Awesome app!

Back button doesn't work right, breaks entire app. If you navigate into a folder, you could go 10 sub folders deep, but there isn't a way to go back up just one folder. If you hit the back button, it goes ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE HOME FOLDER. So you can go into a folder, look at a picture, then look at another picture without having to navigate all the way back into the folder. Makes the app useless

A deep breath of hot garage. abysmal file management/navigation. For example, I click into the documents within a site, then pick a folder and click down into a sub-folder. Then one more level to another sub-folder (full of jpg and png images, in this case). Great, I've arrived. Now I click to preview the first image and get a nice full view of it with two options to share or view details. That's fine, but a button or swipe to view the next/previous file would be nice here. So I use the android back button to take a step back and it drops me all the way back to the main sharepoint start page. WHAT?! Note, there's no on-screen, in-app back button from the image preview. so if I want to view more than one file, I have to navigate back into the site, then the folder and sub-folder and so on? I tried this a few times with the same result after restart and quit to use OneDrive instead, which worked fine. aside: I also attempted the same task described above in the mobile browser version of sharepoint. the image preview was unusable, glitching with the keyboard expanding and retracting continually. (dolphin browser)

This app is unfinished at best and evidently gets very little love from Microsoft. It's missing "no brainer" functionality, such as the ability to share files and documents! It has bugs, such as some kind of race condition that prevents links from opening pages at times. Site icon loads sporadically. Moreover, when viewing a SharePoint page in Google Chrome on Android offers far better document library usability and features than Microsoft's own native app, you've got a problem.

Does not have meta data, views, or filters. So it's virtually impossible to work with our data. Looks very much like a rewrapped OneDrive only you can't upload a file either. Very very limited. Update: app is still very limited. Mobile site, however, has improved substantially and allows proper navigation of sharepoint on a phone. Just note that the browser you use makes a big difference. Had best luck in Puffin (Chrome struggled)

*Updated* Well, it's a few years later, and vast improvement has been made. Navigation is more comfortable and interacting with list items feels more polished. Still a few kinks, but it's now a very usable app. Original review below. 2/10/17 Layout is very poorly executed. Navigation is uncomfortable. List item identifiers are virtually unreadable and give prominence to utterly useless information. It feels as though this app was designed by someone who does not use SharePoint. Uninstalled.

I really don't know where to begin. Uploads don't work for single or multiple files, downloads don't work, the UI is poorly optimized for phone screens, and the back button does not navigate back through folders. It's honestly hard to find anything that works as it should. I checked permissions, cleared cache and cookies and tried reinstalling only to encounter the same issues.
