Microsoft Power Apps

What do you like best?

When our company first started moving onto the direction of using Sharepoint, we didn't know anything about PowerApps. I came on board and honestly, first time user then, I started discovering it's hidden powers. The lovely customizations that you can implement to the Forms in Sharepoint is incredible, there are several items on them that you need employees to go into and edit fields but with PowerApps you can customize which fields they can see and which ones they can see but cannot edit. You can also change the order of the items you're adding to each form and lock it up as needed. The App you can create for mobile phones is real nice, simple to create and simple to make it connect to its data sources as well as to add/remove more. Also, versatile to incorporate calculated fields using its formatting or logical formulas.

What do you dislike?

PowerApps has been giving us a hard time when running it with Google Chrome. The authentication just doesn't seem to work for us, we have been relying on an alternative browser every time we have needed to create or modify any project. We have not reached out to a support team since based on the nature of the problem, is not a Microsoft problem but could be a setting on our default browser. Other than that, what's not to like?
