Microsoft Azure App Reviews

Not sure how it has almost 5 stars. This app functionally works very well. But from a features standpoint it is pretty limited. For example one would expect to be able to browse a storage account and preview files that were uploaded. Or be able to click a link on the web app in a web app service to browse the app.

Handy for monitoring my Azure resources. Developers fixed a bug that stopped metrics from showing up pretty quickly. App is very decent and functional. Love having access to metrics on my phone.

Displays resources but you can’t do anything. You can view monitoring metric but that is about it. You the view the storage account but not what is in it! You can view a database but neither backup nor restore it. Clean enough, but seems pointless when you can do so much more just with the web browser.

Great minus One Issue. I want to be able to get to my previous commands in cloud shell from iOS from standard virtual keyboard. I haven’t found any way (even with third party keyboards) to do this. I am assuming a USB keyboard is the only way to do this using arrows but an augmented way to access history from bash without external keyboard from my iPhone would be ideal. Then this would be perfection!!

Who’s the Target Audience?. I’m not sure who this app was meant for. I suppose devs who know the Azure CLI commands by heart and people who don’t really need any functionality might be the audiences but those two groups are at the ends of the spectrum. Most of the services I care for don’t have any information to display or just aren’t there. Can’t control or view what’s happening with Kubernetes; Docker/“Container Registry” doesn’t even show what’s in the registry. Looking at the reviews, this has been a common theme for at least over 5 years now and the app seems to still have the same level of low usefulness. Might switch back to AWS since I can at least do something on the app.

The app I use on my daily base. Really hope in the future update, we could add firewall rules like client ip etc...

Account has been locked error. It throws the error when another email account is added with my Microsoft account

Blah. For some unknown reason this app is nothing like the website. Oh wait, it’s Microsoft, that’s why this app makes zero sense. Garbage app with zero thought put into it. If I’m logging into my Azure account where is my custom dashboard I built for myself?? Garbage. The regular website on a mobile device is 5 billion times better than this app in every way possible, er, at least 5 billion ways better

Crash crash crash. I don’t know if it’s from the phone update, or backend update at the Azure servers, but everything I do now is just crashing the app. The first time I saw this problem is today. Which just so happens to be there first day to open it since applying the latest update to my phone.

Please add billing manager to the app. I can’t manage my spend within app.

Efficient and simple!. Easy to understand and navigate. Wealth of resources and robust catalogue. Experience on the mobile isn’t diminished. Love it!

Microsoft Azure is great. This service has made my development experience incredibly and I have the ability to work more efficiently

Empowering Transformation Through Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure has been a transformative journey that not only expanded my technical knowledge but also enriched my perspective on problem-solving and innovation. The comprehensive suite of cloud services offered by Azure provided me with a powerful toolkit to address diverse challenges, from scalable infrastructure solutions to advanced data analytics. The learning curve was steep, but the robust documentation and community support made the process rewarding. Navigating through Azure’s platform not only honed my technical skills but also instilled in me a resilient mindset to tackle complex tasks with confidence. The real-world applications of Azure services, such as virtual machines, databases, and machine learning, empowered me to implement solutions that have tangible impacts. This experience extended beyond the technical realm, fostering a sense of creativity and adaptability crucial in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. Moreover, engaging with Azure services encouraged collaboration and problem-solving, skills that transcend the realm of technology. The ability to work efficiently within the Azure ecosystem translated into a broader aptitude for teamwork, communication, and strategic thinking. In essence, Microsoft Azure has been more than just a cloud platform for me

Whaley4***. Horrible customer service . Can’t help me find out who hacked and took admin for my azure account . Aren’t they made to be security and to prevent that from happening ? Customer support blamed it on Microsoft . 😂. Between them , Microsoft and gateway ( the cpu used ) , I gotta say they are rather consistent and extremely similar at three things ! Allowing hackers to take advantage of “not geek “ like ppl , having near impossible access to customer support and then having support that has no value while providing zero assistance .

No subscription/cost information.. I really love this app, but it is missing any cost tracking or predictive monthly spending like I can view in the desktop portal. Being able to see this info or get alerts when I am nearing my quota would be amazing.

Bug status bar color. Status bar color is white and invisible on iOS 13 dark mode!

Very Nice. Azure app is good for basic functions. Would love to be able to edit tags natively.

Excellent service in the past.. I’ve used them once but I’m about to use them again.

Brilliant. Everything I’d want, this app has it! Fast and convenient features for external monitoring.

Would be great but cannot login. I need to switch tenants frequently but the app auto-selects prior tenant. I cannot sign into clients tenant. Very frustrating. Switch user still tries to find desired user in older tenant and fails.

Thank love. Linking accounts my other phone is slow now

Lacks many features. Crashes every time it tries to login *Update 7 December 2018* No longer crashing on newer version, but still lacks many features on the desktop website

No longer works. Displays blank screen on iPhone running iOS 17.1.2. It worked before iOS 17 As of March 12, 2024 it is working again.

Unusable. The app forces me to login to one specific account via federation. There’s no option that lets me enter another email address to start the login process. I can’t use this app with any other Azure account.

Group Management in AAD not available. Either it is very hard to find or group management is not available nor are any of the AAD administration features.

Mostly read-only except command-line. This app is largely a read-only view into your azure account. If you know the command-line commands, there is a cloud-shell available, but do you have all your pre-written scripts available on your phone (or maybe iPad)? I don’t. It makes this app mostly just frustrating. I give it three stars because I can imagine it maybe being useful in an emergency.

Great App. Loving the cost management built into the Resource Group view. Keep up the good work!

What happened?. When I first got this app I could disconnect or log off users but now there are only 4 services I have access to. What happened?

Great Start. There is some great stuff here. Certainly lots of room for improvement and the team is very responsive to fixing bugs. It would be fantastic to be able to do more with my resources like add/edit/view properties/connection strings on my web app. Edit Function Apps, View blobs in storage accounts.

AD is not a resource?. I miss being able to manage my AD directory. It is the single most important resource I have and it is not manageable from the app...

Great App for Managing Azure Cloud. I’ve been using this app for quite some time to keep an eye on our corporate resources and reboot VM’s when needed. We recently made the change over to Azure Government and am disappointed that I can’t point to which environment the app should log in to. Hope this functionality is added soon!

Almost There. The current version is a slight improvement from previous versions. Previously, in the shell, full copy-paste wasn’t possible. You could do one or the other. Now, looks like that’s fully supported. Good job. You get two stars instead of one. But if I want to use ^C in the shell, I can’t. Seriously. Is there anyone actually testing the shell? A reasonable amount of regression would have found these issues in a day. I want to be able to use my iPad to manage docker container groups on Azure. For that, I might want to use a multiplexor and/or a mosh implementation. This is because iOS apps tend to hibernate after a few seconds of being in the “background.” There’s no reason I should have to use Blink to manage Azure assets if you’re serious about having your own app. Back to Blink, I guess. Using the iOS standard keyboard from my is still a joke in cloud shell. Do we have to wait literal years for this to become useful?

So slow, so crashy. Somehow this app is both slower than the web portal and crashes more. Something I thought impossible. It’s also missing almost anything you’d want in the app. I’m not a proponent of this usually but this should have just been a web wrapper app because it would have been useful then.

Was great - new version doesn’t work. The latest version does not load. It gets stuck at login showing a link to “privacy + terms”. Would change my review to 5 stars if it would load.

No active directory??. Can’t seem to manage active directory users. Am I missing something?

Very limited functionality. Very few Azure services available through the app making it almost entirely useless. (Entirely useless for me since we use PIM and it’s not available through the app).

Useful for basic tasks can’t change tenants.. Has been helpful for many common tasks. Best use for me was assisting a colleague with troubleshooting a network issues minutes before an Eagles concert started. I used to be able to switch between my personal tenant and work now unable to do so.

Absolutely useless. To start with, you cannot even see your dashboards in this app, that makes it absolutely useless from the very beginning.

Best of. It will also show you how much money

Good for a lite version. Its great for some basic functionalities that would be crucial if you are away and something happens, like a crash and needs a manual restart. Is it a daily driver? Of course not, its an iOS app. Thats what the az cli and portal are for. But for a lite mobile version, it does the job.

Bummed. Bummed, was wanting a mobile view of my DevOps boards and be able to create and edit work items. Seems like something that should already exist or be a part of this app - no interest in giving my login to a 3rd party

Why no details?. What good is an app that shows no details? I needed to see why a user couldn’t login, but this app won’t show enough details so I had to use a browser anyway.

I love azure but the iPhone app is trash. Like literally don't bother downloading it. It will not work on newer iPhones. If you have 2fa active and attempt to sign in it makes you leave the app witch then refreshes and makes you start over. This results in a fail loop. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ON IPHONE 13

Looks nice but not useful. This app is great for monitoring my existing Azure resources, and it can even do basic management tasks such as starting, restarting and stopping VMs, but it misses the one core functionality that I need the most - create and delete resources (especially VMs, but not limited to them). This is the main reason for me to access the web portal, and also the reason I tried this app. When you’ll implement this, I’ll rate it 5 stars 😊

Dysfunctional Sign-In. I can only imagine what the app does or looks like. What would be useful is a keyboard function to input my login information. All I can do is scan text. This doesn’t look good as most people wanting to use this app are most likely in IT.

Worthless. This app would be great if you could actually check the status of runbook jobs but you can’t. Sorting of jobs doesn’t work and when you do find the most recent job, there is no logging information. Not helpful

Handy, but passive. Great utility, though would like to be able to set up a dashboard to watch CPU on multiple machines/sql instance rather than having to tap around Main problem though is it is really just a viewer... I can't resize a SQL instance or VM size etc without opening up a browser which rather limits it's usefulness

Feedback broken. Hi I can't submit feedback ... the button is broke . Overall like the app. The feedback is: can you please include billing info .very important to how we run our biz and plan& allocate spend .

Needs PIM for Groups. I was looking for a solution to easily elevate privileges, but adopted PIM for groups. I set everything up before realizing the app didn’t support them.

Alerts missing. All of a sudden my alerts are missing from the home page. I used to see the latest alerts but they have been 0 for the last week. I know this to be false as I have had email alerts. I have not changed my alerts for 3-6 months and they have fired and always have been on the home page but not now.

Crashed on first use. I'll give it one more go and then I'm going back to alternatives

Useless. Crashes when opening it. Unable to use at all

Not a very smart app. I can’t sign out from my old organisation account to sign in to new accounts

Doesn’t work!!!. I login and get presented with a black screen and can’t do anything.

Crashes. Crashes when I try to stop a vmss

App is broken, unable to sign in. The app opens your Authenticator app to sign in, but then it asks you to open your authenticator app to get a code, but you can’t as it’s open, so going to get the code cancels the sign in. Therefore unusable.

Latest update killed it. Latest update now causes the app to hang after login. Zero stars. Cannot be used.

To the lord. The simple ways Microsoft uses in explaining and guiding is a prevailing and a blast of blessing for every person on earth .i just closed my eyes for a while and got this idea where or how would my background contry Lebanon if we on invested the amount of wages and salaries spent on teachers and doctors yearly.thx u Microsoft communities member ,member i finally today and after 30 years I would be happy and feeling great for finding the right future that will even give me the opportunity of getting back in the past and change it to a reall worth by analysing and exporting insights. My mate asked me where u reckon would Microsoft be in 2030? I said am not really interested in where what iam concerned about is to make sure to be with my community even on plutons.i love us all 👐

Lacks Portal Functionality. This app is just snapshot of what exists on your Az portal it’s waste of an effort and would request Developers to enable portal features where we can create and access new resources...also I have customised Dashboard which I would like to see if I have to consider to use this App in field it’s surely lacks when you say AZ anytime any where

Can’t log in. Can’t sign in with my work account always defaults to personal. Useless app.

Cannot sign into directories. When I login it just shows cannot sign into any directories

Hey. Azure is the Best Of The Best, Thank you Azure

Crash. Crash on my phone

Can not log in. I enter my email and click on sign in then i get a white screen, nothing happens.

Expected More. You’re better off accessing the Azure Portal via Safari or what have you. Most resources are view-only. Monitoring metrics are basically screenshots without the ability to change timeframes or drill down. No access to Azure AD (or Entra, if you will) either. Like I said, the mobile view of the Azure Portal site functions much better.

Useless. Cannot do anything in this app other than just viewing information. Quite useless. Why even have the app at all? Use a computer instead to get the full functions of this section.

Basic. Can't do much with the app but start and stop VMs. Can't even do them in bulk.

Great idea. I never created tasks before, for myself, but using Azure Boards for reminders is a great idea

Basic. Lacks lots of stuff. I can’t scale up or scale out through this app. Also not even showing how many http requests. Just a misleading metrics graphs.

Dark mode. Can we have the dark mode for the app?

prospective subscriber. I would like to make so much with this, so many possible ways to go. How I fund.

Cloud shell broken for months. Cloudshell is probably the most useful part of this app unless all you want to do is list your resources, and it’s been broken for months. Garbled text on both bash and powershell.

Can't Sign-in. Much like the Microsoft 365 Admin app, this app for not sign in for the past 6 months so is completely useless to me. Liked it when it worked

I Like It!. It Works!

Thanks for fixing the VM bug!. Everything works great again; VMs can be started/stopped without crashing the app.

Barakat misk. It’s and excellent solution for multi users and a cloud option for all business

Insuffisant. Cette application n’est pas une alternative au portail Azure, seule quelques opérations sont possibles.

More details please. Please provide details of the updates. Getting tired of the standard and all too common update jargon.

Great app for managing azure resources. Is it possible we can get a full azure dev ops app to see sprint/pipelines/pull requests,etc? Thank you MSFT

Useless. Simply says sign-in failed with every attempt. Can login fine in the web portal but not this useless app.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Useless. Does not appear to work with Microsoft Authenticator app. I would think most users of this app have two factor auth setup.

Would be great but cannot login. I need to switch tenants frequently but the app auto-selects prior tenant. I cannot sign into clients tenant. Very frustrating. Switch user still tries to find desired user in older tenant and fails.

App Crashes. App keeps crashing when looking at VMs

Every time I open the app it open Authenticator. Can’t sign in, every time I open the app and click sign in it goes straight to the Authenticator app and then nothing happens.

gift cards. hello, i would like to test this app for a tutorial, your windows site does not allow gift cards, please allow gift cards because i do not want hackers, thank u. also, please allow register outside of windows but not as important...

Last update broken. Open the app to Face ID Face registered and then freezes in the smiley face.

No dark icon. This app is not ready for iOS 18 customization. It desperately needs a dark icon

Can’t login. Get Given key not present in dictionary when it transitions to Authenticator app

Good app. Very comprehensive and easy to use, love Azure!

Sign in failed. All I get is an error. Object not set to an instance of an object. When I follow the app support link it sends me to an idea board. Not sure how to get help with this.

Useful manager. Works

Absolutely useless. To start with, you cannot even see your dashboards in this app, that makes it absolutely useless from the very beginning.

No active directory??. Can’t seem to manage active directory users. Am I missing something?

Allow bypass of the Authenticator app. When I have the MS Authenticator app installed there is no way for me to enter my DUO MFA credentials, it forces me to use Authenticator.

Limited - horrible crashes. Very limited and crashes often after app updates!

pointless app. doesn't show anything truly useful. a few basic metrics and resource groups, but you can't drill down to anything useful. For that you the need the web version.

Clearly Not A Pro. This app is not doing what I had hoped. I need to create a new DevOps task and I cannot. For shame. But also, its a nice clean app!

What’s the point?. Sorry, as far as I can tell, this app is pretty useless. I logged in as Azure admin, and it shows no data in every section. It doesn’t show our connected apps, Azure AD, nothing.

Azure don’t waste your time. Absolutely clunky app. I thought Microsoft might have got its act together. Still the same garbage.

Great Metrics. Great metrics. Please add ability to change DB speed.

Unable to use app on iOS. App keeps crashing on iOS

The worst. I can never seem to log into any of my Microsoft products. It is by far the worst UX ever! Google is definitely the way to go!

Azure Gov. Would love if this worked for Azure Gov accounts.

Doesn’t load my teams boards.. The feature I need - to go to my agile’s teams boards - doesn’t appear to be available here. It’s why I downloaded it. So if it can’t do that I don’t need it.

Success. Microsoft exceeds expectations. Good luck in the future

Azure. Streamline your services with the cloud

Very handy. Gives a good view of resource status. Responds quickly to requests. Works well! Would like the ability to start, stop, restart container instances. Cost management would be amazing!

Needs Cost Analysis. A nice start, but missing cost analysis features.

Useless. It’s a nice looking app, but completely useless. 99% of the resource data and functionality available through the Azure Portal is unavailable here. Not sure what the target audience is here.

Support for Other Regions. Please add support for other regions such as US Government.

Why no details?. What good is an app that shows no details? I needed to see why a user couldn’t login, but this app won’t show enough details so I had to use a browser anyway.

能不能尽快给 devops 加进来?. I’m a github user, using azure devops manage my projects. Plz consider integrate devops in this app, thanks!

Love it. This app makes it very easy to monitor our systems

Almost zero functionality. Why does this app exist when you can’t access like 99% of settings from it?

Very limited. Web app metrics not available MySql metrics not available Application insights is Okay

DevOps Not Included. The app is a fine start for dev work and db management BUT it would really be great if ADO ( Azure DevOps ) was included for mobile backlog management.

Not working. after the upgrade to iOS 17 the app is. It working. It shows a black screen all the time.

No longer loads!. The app no longer loads.

Version 1.8.2 not working. Unable to open the app after update to v1.8.2. Getting redirected to MFA app and then to blank screen.

Please add billing manager to the app. I can’t manage my spend within app.

Can’t login after recent update.. Says my accounts don’t exist. I’ve used personal and work. This app is usually pretty good

Can’t log in. I have access to my personal and my office admin account. I can log in to the personal one but not to the other. When I type the email and press sign-in the app tells me “full name: parameter cannot be null or empty” I tried to delete the app, ensure there is no cached content, sign myself out of anything Microsoft on safari, but no. Any ideas? > yes I can log in to the dashboard via mobile safari.

Horrible customer service. Azure’s customer service is horrible. I regret I moved away from AWS.

Locks up consistently on iPhone 12 Pro. Unusable.

Dashboards. Can't view my dashboards, which the only reason i downloaded the app.

You can’t get there for here. Cannot login to this app. I am a global administrator, I click login and it brings me to the Microsoft Authenticator. I approve the login and it brings me to a screen that says “You can’t get there from here”. Don’t see an option to allow this app in endpoint. Office Admin app works just fine.

Crash On Launch. Crashes immediately during splash screen on iOS 9.3.3. Previous version was working fine.

Too few functions!!!. I always need to do something on computer!

No sound for push notifications. Can we have sound for push notifications? Otherwise delivery of app insights alarms do not have any sense

Unreliable. Apps have of bugs and crashes making it useless
