Hello,
We have developed a PowerApps application that works well for websites. Now, we are looking to create a similar application for mobile devices. Instead of building two separate PowerApps applications for website and mobile, we are exploring the idea of modernizing the existing application to make it responsive.
We've attempted to achieve this using container, but it's proven to be quite time-consuming and hasn't resulted in an exact match to the website layout. We've also experimented with screen and parent dimensions but haven't been successful in achieving a fully responsive layout.
Could anyone please provide assistance and suggestions on different ways to modernize our existing web PowerApps application to make it responsive and compatible for mobile devices? Thank you in advance for your help.
Responsive apps are just hard and fiddly to build, which is what you are experiencing. Getting all the settings right can also be a challenge, at least that's my view from watching a number of YouTube videos on the subject.
Going from a std desktop app to a responsive one would, in my opinion, require a complete design brief, like
- which devices will be support eg desktop, tablet, phone
- what lock orientation will it support eg only portrait on mobile phones, etc
- which controls, fields, etc will be visible on smaller devices
- etc
If I was doing this project, I'd first attempt to build a basic app like this one by Shane Young

Then, decide if I want a responsive app or a separate app for mobiles ... my preference, given what I've seen online, would be the latter.
