Power Automate Reviews

by AvidListener2345

I downloaded this to use on my iPhone and iPad but it’s absolutely horrible. Even with trying to add an Action or something simple you’ll notice that you are completely unable to scroll, and the search function does not work. When editing flows you even can’t access the dynamic expressions or expression builder. I hate it.

Power automate (FKA flow) is by far one of the most useful tools in the Microsoft tool kit. It’s so frustrating how they haven’t created a viable option for organizing automations. As a power user, I’ve had to become diligent with my naming conventions just so I can keep track of everything. The mobile app just shows you how badly this is needed. I just spent 10 minutes scrolling for some thing that I just made. How is that “automating” my work?

Your flow buttons are slow to load within PowerAutomate . It takes about 3-5 seconds to appear. When you force click on PowerAutomate before going into PowerAutomate , it won’t recognize your buttons so can’t creat a shortcut widget. Also the widget screen won’t show any of your buttons. I’ve already sent in a support ticket, but there has no follow up or resolution.

I can login on the website and build flows, but I cannot login here. It just shows an error with my Microsoft account. I have a personal Microsoft account, with a Gmail address. Maybe they don’t want to support those accounts on Flow anymore, but if that is the case then at least be consistent and let me move my flows to a supported account.

Was hoping the iPad app had a better interface than the desktop, at least for filtering view of flows. The iPad layout for flow is GARBAGE. It only takes up like 15% of space in middle of iPad, and the expand to full screen just stretches it.. its like you’re looking at a super low res view of flow. Completely useless for iPad.. hope it gets better

While it shows here on page, no fun to download PowerAutomate and see a tiny framed box on your beautiful iPad screen. Come on now Microsoft, make this available for iPad because making PA automations on phone sounds terrible. Plus, I run on a iPhone model without much native storage so apps constantly being offloaded to cloud, and it’s 6 models old. It’s a rather slow phone while my iPad is speedy and for business. Using PA for business, would want iPad functionality.

I recently learned about MS Flow after some colleagues raves about it. It’s a neat tool to use if you are using Microsoft products & even if you are using other products. It’s tricky to get used to but once you figure it out, there are endless options on what you can do. I just wish they’d make LinkedIn personal pages sync with MS Flow. Right now you can only sync with company pages.

When I try to add widgets based on the power automate buttons, nothing shows up even though I have several buttons in the PowerApp

At the speed and simplicity to add workload automation is next to none. Their catalog of connector data sources is extensive, as is their templates for getting started.

This solution is a must have, and the monthly cost is very competitive. This platform will help you solve problems you didn't know you had.

Just in simple steps

by Dr Strangepork

I love being able to automate anything especially the push notifications of the emails I want to see.

by Stec

Amazing possibilities for automation in the palm of your hand. The mobile app is a pretty good approximation of the web app and can be the conduit for push notifications from your Flows.

Request: Apple Watch app!

I was able to automate a process that saves several people in my department hours of work every week. This is fantastic.

by Bryan S1234

Very cool tool that saves you time with everday mundane tasks. Setting one up from scratch is pretty easy, even if you're a code-savvy, but you do need to be patient. The templates work great too.

Simply put Flow is essentially like putting together Lego blocks and building out your own work flow scenario- it’s really up to you - Power is in user’s mind! If anyone has ever used IFTTT- it’s pretty much IFTTT for Business applications.

Life used to be so hectic trying to remember to check email and messages. At least this help me with some of the form email. I can automate these emails. This won’t take away my pain but certainly make my life easier.

I’m very impressed with the innovation that has surfaced (no pun intended) in the last few years. Microsoft is developing tools for the business community that are pushing all of us to be better at work and play. Excellent job, Microsoft! Thank you.

I have a small issue to report. ⚠️

When creating flows, the ’done’ and ’create’ buttons sometimes do not work, and I have to turn my phone to side view in order to click👆on the buttons.

The buttons seem to be too close to the top of my iPhone screen; the part I can drag down to access some of my phone features.📱

But I really ♥️ being able to automate time-consuming processes and tasks to make my life flow more easily during my day. 😅

Thanks for PowerAutomate Microsoft Team! 🙌🏼

Very valuable tool in my arsenal. I just don’t understand why they would rename the already short and catchy name of Flow to this weird Power Automate. Doesn’t fit with the rest of their simplified naming conventions.

Power Automate with power apps, power BI, SharePoint and online excel together are all game changers. They show a lot of promise and have already exhibited their potential to improve operational workflow. Big big fan. A business should seriously consider Microsoft 365!

by Crimson Of Night

Not all of the Microsoft flows features are flushed out.

Time triggers don't trigger.
File management using templates fail.
Lack of dynamic file variable support - for example, if you move a file and create a new one all future modifications should happen to the new file right? Big nope. Instead, the original file (now renamed) gets the update!

iPad version would be nice. Mobile app doesn’t remember connections like browser does. Great service though!!!!

by Drspoflow

I like flow. I use them for work and there are so many options. I just wish you could send texts with flow.....soon hopefully!

by TeddybeardogRules

Love SharePoint Designer but this has won my heart. So easy that clients could use it. Automate the world!!
