I cannot recommend Teams 'apps' anymore

Rant incoming...

 

From 'Tasks for Planner and To Do' to 'Polls' and 'Updates', these 'apps' are a mess of poor performance, missing core features, and no clear roadmap.  For this reason, I cannot recommend them to clients anymore.

 

Just today, a coworker posted a poll using the 'Polls' app that contained some mistakes. 

 

"No problem, just edit it" I told him. 

 

Today I learned that the Polls app does NOT have an EDIT or DELETE function.

 

He then tried to delete the poll from the Forms web app (where they are READ-ONLY), but that doesn't remove it from the channel it was posted.

 

So this is, to be blunt - bad quality assurance by Microsoft.  This product should not have been released to the millions of daily users that depend on them to get things done.

 

And before it gets said - yes, I've submitted feedback.  However, we shouldn't NEED to ask for such basic functionality.

 

That is just a recent example.  Has anyone tried or recommended the 'Updates' app here?  

 

I've been testing it for the past several weeks and find it so slow it's unusable.  It's a non-starter.

 

The Tasks for Planner and To Do app has been left incomplete and in a state of limbo.  Not a very inspiring product that seemed to be forgotten about shortly after its release.

 

That's the end of my rant.   Thanks for tuning in.
