    With the restrictions on Scheduled Refresh, I have to Refresh Now to keep our data set up to day during a 12 hour shift. It would be great if I could kick off a refresh from the App.

    Then, allow 'alerts's to trigger after manual refresh.

    This would allow some of our critical reporting processes to be handled entirely from the mobile app. Right now I have to use desktop or the Power BI Service online (which is pretty clunky on mobile) in order to manually refresh our data for QA review and troubleshooting everyday. My team cannot practically wait 30 minutes for the next scheduled refresh.

    Need ability to refresh dataset manually on PowerBI App without having to do it via PowerBI desktop or PowerBI Web

    This would be a huge time saver for users on the go. Currently, I have to open the powerbi.com web browser which is not optimized for mobile, and navigate to the dataset refresh settings. Having this option on the mobile app would be a great addition to the App!

    Hello, i dont understand the situation. There are minimum 10+ requests for refreshing data in apps. If added together we have 70 votes.
    There is either a lack in the documentation or a missing function for manually pulling new data out of the cloud without closing and re-opening the app.
    We are using "reports" in the app and not the dashboards.
