Tableau Mobile

Hopefully the app gets ongoing work to it. It is an iOS HIG feature but I’m not sure if it’s mandatory: swiping to the right from The left edge of the screen causing you to effectively ‘press the back button’ and going out of a dashboard and back into the Home tab. Seeing as there’s a back button angle bracket icon at the top left, maybe the swipe feature can be deactivated? Seems it’s all too easy to spend a while setting up a dashboard and browsing, then you lose all that set up when you try and pan across a table or viz, and you lose it all as it goes to the home page and home tab.

Very slow and doesn’t update everyday

Data doesn’t automatically update. Data rolls back to a previous time point. UX is terrible. Nothing good to say about this garbage.

Tableau is a decent MI tool. With a set of tools to create most required views. Some of the layouts could be improved- eg. A view in portrait just loses columns, when the landscape view has the columns. Why not offer some form of wraparound?

Constantly improving, the more recent versions bring really useful mobile features and feel to the app. All the power of Tableau in your pocket. Essential.

Still no screen size support for iPhone X

This app, and the device specific dashboard function, has come a long way in recent years meaning mobile reporting is easy, fast and actually genuinely useful. Plenty more features to come I hope (scheduled snapshotting, please) but for now, the app is a welcome extra conduit to Tableau dashboards at no additional cost or effort

Let's be clear - the guys at Tableau are a bright bunch, but this App falls way short of performance expectations. It feels like an early beta as opposed to a finished product. The filters interface is unusable in it's current form, tab selection does not work and it has crashed several times within the first 10 minutes of use. When it comes to data mining, Tableau is king but there is a great danger that their graphical interface is looking very outdated already, especially when compared to the likes of Roambi, which unlike Tableau, is designed specifically for the iPad and takes advantage of the gesture interface to access graphical data to a whole new level. Tableau looks like a very ugly sister by comparison, but one that has inherited serious brains. My advice is wait, they will get it right...let's hope very soon!

This app is artificially hobbled for mobile. If you’re using this on an iPad with a keyboard and mouse you cannot use the mouse to interact with reports. You must touch the screen. Additionally you can not create or edit reports in this app and are required to do so through a desktop computer. The iPad Safari is no less cable than desktop safari so this is an artificial limit that serves no valid purpose.

Too slow to refresh and download info. Even in wifi. I was considering this app in my phone obviously to have a quick view on the go. But doesn’t worth it
