Microsoft plans to launch Power BI mobile app, first push iOS version

Microsoft plans to expand its business intelligence tools power BI to mobile platforms, and they will first launch a native iOS app. This week, Microsoft emailed a group of testers asking if they had an iphone or ipad and would like to experience the Power BI mobile version on their mobile devices.

Power BI provides Excel based data query, mapping, modeling, and interactive cartography. Excel can create content, data models, and other visual information, and power bi can be used to share, collaborate, and feature extensions. Currently, power BI does not support mobile platforms, although the iOS version is now available, but Microsoft is also planning to deploy the Power BI tool on Android and Windows Phone, and of course, it is a bit of a surprise that Microsoft pushed the iOS version first.

The subject of the invitation message is also very straightforward, which says, "Power Bi's iOS version is coming up and you can now apply for access." "The emails also included screenshots of the app on the iphone and ipad, but Microsoft invited invitees not to share the images."

In the email, Microsoft asked the invitees to answer three questions:

1. Would you like to provide continuous feedback via email or online meetings with our product team?

2. What iOS device are you using, how many iOS devices do you have?

3. Are you an active user of a power BI Smart dashboard?

It is not yet known whether the app is free, but Microsoft should provide it to its Office 365 users. So far, the app preview is still confidential, and Microsoft has not disclosed when it will officially release the product or when it can support other platforms. But it is said that Microsoft is planning to release the date.

At present, Microsoft declined to comment on the matter.

Note: Power BI (powerbusiness FDI), business intelligence enhancements, is a set of business intelligence tools that Microsoft provides for Office components. With these features, you can achieve a self-help analysis of all your data. (Translate/Shark)
