Overall, I was satisfied with PowerApps for quickly creating and deploying apps. However, if you’re looking to build more complex or feature-rich services, it might not be the best choice.
Pros
PowerApps is a user-friendly, low-code platform that’s ideal for beginner developers or non-technical users who want to create their own web or app pages. It integrates easily with other Microsoft services like Excel or SharePoint, offering a lot of flexibility. The interface is intuitive, making it easy to get started.
Cons
While it’s great for creating basic web or app pages, it lacks the capability to embed more sophisticated features. It’s best suited for simple applications and can feel quite heavy at times.

Pros
The thing I like the most about this software is the simplicity of the design, easy to navigate.

What I least like about this now, is that I have to verify myself every single day before I can use it which consume my time.

Good app building, but when you reach a certain level of use and complexity you have to pay for a mind blowing licence that most small and medium business won’t be able to afford. That’s why for small and medium business I’ll probably continue to recommend AppSheet instead of Power Apps.
Pros
Thanks to the integration of Figma, you can give great look to your apps. The ability to create both desktop and mobile apps is great. It is easy to deploy. It easily connect to SharePoint lists and librairies.
Cons
If you want to setup specific behavior, the coding language of Power Apps is not really easy and many times you’ll have to turn to Power Automate to complete the business flow wanted for your app. Also the personalization options of Power Apps are limited, that’s why I recommend designing your app in Figma and import your Figma in Power Apps.
Reasons for Choosing Microsoft Power Apps
Because I upgraded my Microsoft 365 licence and the level of features of Power Apps with my licence for my current needs was enough for now to stop paying for AppSheet, but should my needs increase I may consider returning to AppSheet since it’s less expensive than the upgrade licence of Power Apps.Switched From

Low-code, but daunting and sluggish
Reviewed on 2022/01/06
We attempted to use Power Apps to create a tracking app for external trainees.
We attempted to use Power Apps to create a tracking app for external trainees.
Pros
Power Apps offers real strength in its integration with SharePoint and the rest of the Office ecosystem. Pricing is reasonable, as some access is included with some tiers of Microsoft 365,
Cons
We found that running an app on top of a SharePoint list resulted in a sluggish experience that discouraged our external users. In addition, designing a Power App seems a little more daunting than in a competitive no-code/low-code product.
Reasons for Switching to Microsoft Power Apps
Initially we chose Power Apps because it was included in our Microsoft subscription and because of the integration with SharePoint. We ultimately switched to AppSheet.Microsoft Power Apps FAQs
