Microsoft launched PowerApps, a new tool that allows the user to build a mobile app even without touching any code. It has made easier for anyone to develop a business app from the available templates. The apps can run on both web and mobile. Microsoft had announced this product last November and now launched this app in April this year. It is open for anyone who wants to try out building an app.
While the increasing number of companies are turning to mobile, still more work are bounded on the desktop. Having the new tool, companies can organize several new business apps. Microsoft not only connected its own tools like SharePoint, MS Office, OneDrive and Dynamic CRM, but also allowed the users to use the third-party tools like Salesforce, Slack, Google Drive, Twitter, and Dropbox. Even users can connect any app that isn’t integrated into PowerApps to any RESTful API.

Users can start building apps starting from the scratch. There are few standard use cases available that can be used easily. PowerApps also trigger Flow actions by using the Microsoft Flow - an IFTTT like service that connects the app without interacting with each other. Flow mostly focuses on business tools like MailChimp, Dynamics CRM, Slack, Office 365, Salesforce, and GitHub and also few other Twitter and Facebook actions.
Microsoft PowerApps offers a user interface which allows the user to build the apps an easier way in few clicks. All the newly build apps are made available through the PowerApps app on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone and also on the web. Users can easily send the link to an app to their co-workers.
