Microsoft Power Apps: Business Apps from the ‘Microsoft ‘Power Platform’

PowerApps is a part of the ‘Microsoft ‘Power Platform’ built into Office 365 suite which is used by organizations to develop internal tools for the Web and mobile devices with little developer experience ( think of it as a combination of PowerPoint and Excel )

The interface is very user friendly allowing you to drag and drop text/icons/pictures into each screen of the app , the data manipulation can be performed by excel-like queries.

Power apps has three main features

  1. Data Creation and Modification using Powerapps

  2. Reporting with Power BI

  3. Automating with Flow
