There is no favorites option for a report when in an App. The star appears next to reports in the App workspace, and also in the recent tab, however users will often not have access to the App workspace so this is not sufficient.

RE: Cannot Favorite a report from within an App

Throwing my hat into the ring of people asking for this feature. It seems unreasonable to create a separate app for every report so that they can pick their favorites, especially when you are managing hundreds of reports in Power BI.

We just migrated to Apps and test users are asking for this constantly. I wish I would have researched and learned this was not available within an App. This would be a great enhancement.

We're hesitant to start using apps more extensively without this. Marking individual reports within an app as Favorites (and showing as Frequents on the home page) is an important way our users navigate - saves them clicks for their most used reports. 2 years of comments on this thread...any chance this is coming soon?

This is needed for our organization with multiple reports per multiple apps and no access to workspaces for average users

I cannot fathom why this is not already a feature. It is a basic and absolute necessity!

We need this ASAP please! We're keeping users out of workspaces and only in Apps and this makes it really cumbersome to find their reports.

RE: Cannot Favorite a report from within an App

Absolutely need this. It is not helpful to favorite the app especially when the app contains many reports. We need the ability to favorite a report within an app.

RE: Cannot Favorite a report from within an App

Favourites are particularly useful for large organisations who have access to many reports. This would be highly valuable as an improvement.

RE: Cannot Favorite a report from within an App

This is a Must Have - very surprised that Microsoft did not consider this; as there is a huge costs to organisations having staff trying to find reports or having to click multiple times to navigate to their reports.
