    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Could you please share mode details about the error message within your app?

    How many Lookup columns created within your SP list?

     

    The user @Rfla has faced same issue with you, please check the response within the following thread:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/SharePoint-too-many-lookup-columns-cause-query-failure-PowerApps/td-p/12211

     

    There is a threshold limit in the amount of the Lookup columns within SP list, the Lookup columns threshold within SP list is 12 currently. 

     

    Note: The List view Lookup Threshold has been revised to Default of 12 in SharePoint 2013 , after applying  the June 2013 CU update . http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817414

     

    If the amount of Lookup columns that you want to use within your app is more than 12, the error would show up.

     

    More details about the SP list Lookup column threshold, please check the following blog:

    https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/spses/2013/12/02/sharepoint-20102013-list-view-lookup-threshold-uncovered/

     

     

    Best regards,
