Power Apps SLOW!

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 204

Hello!

There is 2 point to this: 

1) The suggestions are so slow now! It uses to be instantaneous.

2) I had a ticket that was savagely closed (119021319663233) by @ardixi. The complaint is: It takes about 10 minutes the good days for a modification on the server (SQL) to appear on PowerApps. Sometimes, it's more (Like 2 hours more). The response was that it's by design. I find this ridiculous and would like to know if I'm the only one. As the first item in this list, it uses to be instantaneous.

    I've noticed point 2 recently (e.g. new field added to an existing SQL table takes several minutes and multiple refreshes to appear). In my test environment I've ended up with several SQL connections so tried cycling through them and it seemed the changes would appear on one before the others (though each had the same permissions)... perhaps it is worth testing creating a new SQL connection to see if that makes any difference?

    For point 1, how large is your App? I'm working on a large App that seems to have hit a threshold so that the suggestions and 'verification' of formulas (checking of the formula for errors and enabling the 'Format Text' option if all is good) seems slow and sometimes the verifcation just hangs and I have to restart studio. For me at least, working on smaller Apps is still pretty snappy.

    Thank you for the feedback; the issue with SQL changes not being reflected quickly on the PowerApps Studio should be fixed by the end of this week; if this is not the case, please reach back and I can route it to the team that owns it.

    For the snappiness, you are right, I created a new app and the suggestions work like a breeze. I'm gonna try to keep my apps smaller. (I usually have 20-30 pages in my apps)

    Thanks a lot!

    Performance issue related to number of screens is still active.
