Microsoft Power Apps – easy creation of individual apps.

Power Apps is an app building system from Microsoft. Using Power Apps, you can easily and quickly build apps without writing a line of code (low code application). A possible example would be a time tracking app.

To build an app, you can either choose from an existing layout from a template or start without a template. Within a few clicks, you populate the app with your data, and you can use Microsoft products like Microsoft 365 or Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (formerly Microsoft Dynamics NAV), etc., as well as third-party products like Salesforce or Dropbox, as data sources.

With a Canvas App, you design your app through the App Designer by selecting and placing elements (drag-and-drop). In doing so, you can include a variety of controls with a click, and there’s no need to write code. The design is in your hands. You can compare the process to creating PowerPoint slides.

This process in the app designer feels like creating PowerPoint slides. In addition, just like in Excel, you can create expressions for specifying logic and working with data, for example. So you are completely in charge of the layout.

Power Apps distinguishes subscription plans as well as usage-based payment. Under subscription plans, you can pay either per user per app per month (per-app plan) or per user per month (per-user plan). With usage-based payment, you pay per active user per app per month. That is, only if a user runs an app within a month.

Microsoft Power Apps is actually suitable for every company, because there is always potential for optimization. Power Apps are excellent at replacing existing manual processes that are often tedious and repetitive.
