Needs VotesMake dashboards that are shared externally available through the Power BI Mobile app

Currently dashboards that are shared with external users through the Power BI service, are only available as direct link. External users cannot open the dashboards within their mobile app or through the "Shared with me" interface. Please provide external users with the same functionality as internal users.

RE: Make dashboards that are shared externally available through the Power BI Mobile app
The current sharing setup is an absolute mess and has taken me many hours to understand the details of what can and can't be done.
Sharing to external users seamlessly with the mobile app would be 1 step to making this better.

We need this enhancement. Thanks in advance!

Yes this is a critical enhancement that is needed to improve the functionality for external users.

RE: Make dashboards that are shared externally available through the Power BI Mobile app
The absence of this feature makes reports shared with external users feel like a hack. It is confusing to the user that internally shared reports appear under "Shared with me" but reports shared by external users do not appear in the app at all.
It would be a significantly nicer user experience if the dashboards appeared in the app and the utility of the app would increase.
Maybe a visual cue to designate external vs internal would be useful but that is likely overthinking it. The product already features security controls to warn or prevent unauthorised sharing.
Both the Windows 10 app and iOS apps kick users out to a web interface the it feels jarring.
The website on my iPhone 6S plus does not have a responsive design:
* the login comment and hyperlink is tiny text
* 16:9 reports in portrait mode show approx 3/4 of the width of the report
* precious screen real-estate is wasted by the browser's navigation icons.
