Was great - new version doesn’t work

FiveHole23

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.

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.

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!

The app crashes whenever I click on the button to login. Checking the logs it shows the following: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Subtype: EXC_ARM_DA_ALIGN at 0x0040002f7261762f -> 0x0000002f7261762f (possible pointer authentication failure)

I call this Microsoft University

It’s my best choice to build my IT skills. I pledge to improve my computer code skills! Python, Java, JavaScript, C#, and possibly others. I have to learn Linux. I work with the Tech Angels!

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.

Useless

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

Microsoft Azure is great

This service has made my development experience incredibly and I have the ability to work more efficiently

Needs Cost Analysis

A nice start, but missing cost analysis features.

—UPDATED— Good looking app, missing a lot of functionality (mainly read only)

<Review date='12 August 2019' version=2> I have to give credit where credit is due, Microsoft is very diligent in responding to reviews of their apps. For the simple fact that I see so many developer responses and that the app has continued to improve overall as their response indicated, I am bumping my rating up to four stars. Bullet point I still would like to see 1. A dark mode, which I imagine is coming to harmonize with iOS 13, but it hasn't arrived yet on earlier devices and I know a device running better iOS 13, another iPad Pro, the app still does not have dark mode. Of course it's only better release of the west so this is kind of me being nitpicky at this point 2. While there has been more functionality added as far as being able to perform operations, it is still extremely limited and I can accomplish everything with Safari on my iPad Pro which defeats the purpose of a dedicated app which was built with the fundamental characteristics (whether it be good, bad or indifferent)… The whole point of having a platform specific application or a native app, as it were, is to maximize usability of the device and it's operating system which has not been accomplished with this application yet and there is a long, long way to go if the goal is to ever have anything close to feature parity with the web portal. Note to Microsoft: the web portal is the selling point of Azure, hundreds of millions of people use iOS devices, why not make it easier for them to use a native app instead of a web browser based infrastructure and increase productivity for everyone and the bottom line for Microsoft! The web portal is an absolute product of brilliance and, for the most part beauty and well-planned usability and user interface design. That, in essence, what I would like to see with this app. Allow it to perform everything we can on the portal, there's no reason that they should not be possible given the APIs and powerahell (not to mention Bash) which can send any command via scripting and the backend of an application. I really rambled at this point, which is why I should stick to typing instead of dictating, bottom line a lot of improvements have been made but the feature parity is nowhere near what I would personally like to see. It is greatly appreciated that Microsoft is listening and responding to individual reviews. </Review>  Previous review from around August, 2018: <Review version=1> As someone who, in recent years has come to have a very complex view of microsoft (in terms of admiration/disgust/frustration/anger/occasionally excitement/etc), this app seemed promising and I was genuinely excited to use it. On first launch, I appreciated the usability and "beauty" of the UX. As I dug into the real usability of it, however, I began to recognize that this app has very little value for making any changes to one's Azure environment. No, the Azure App is mainly a pretty looking (very) high level overview of your Azure resources and has an extremely limited ability to create/delete/modify new/existing services. SinceI am using a Second Generation iPad Pro, I can easily use the web portal to do just about anything I could do on my Mac's. That being said, Microsoft is losing a lot of users out of frustration of such limited mobile device capabilities. Perhaps it's only a matter of time until (closer to) full capability management arrives in a dedicated, native mobile app. If so, and if within a reasonable time frame, 5+ stars for the Azure App. The longer we go with (virtually) read only access, the lower my rating will become. I fully realize that a single users vote will make much impact (if any at all), but here's to keeping my fingers crossed and hoping Microsoft is listening and responding to user insights! Lastly, like the web portal, it would be *really* nice to have a dark interface option versus a 100% white background that's really hard on the eyes (even in bright conditions)! </Review>
