This series off videos are awesome Daniel.
I enjoyed working with you the other day. Our app has come a long way thanks to your help.

[@DanielChristian19]

Thanks for the compliment Ziad.

Reading parameters from the URL directly into the app is a great way to manage information/functionality.

[@versteegrob]

Thnx for the relly nice tips. Didn't know that it was so easy to make shortcut to a PowerApp

[@DanielChristian19]

Your welcome Rob and keep PowerApping!

[@misstahnia]

Thanks Daniel, those last 2 gems are brilliant.
Does adding the shadow image to the app cause the app to slow down?

[@DanielChristian19]

Your welcome, Miss Tania.
It all depends on the size of the shadow image. The one I use is a JPG file that is about 20 KB so it doesn't affect performance.

One suggestion, while writing the code, the property that you have selected is not visible (left side panel), please try to show the full screen.

[@DanielChristian19]

Hi Sukrutha,
Thanks for the suggestion and I'll do my best to show both the property and the formula. I have to admit when I record these videos (for free) the excitement gets the best of me 😀.

Thank you for sharing hidden gem,its interesting to know. I have tried gem #5. I have pinned to home screen for a particular app,but it add shortcut to power app mobile application not the shortcut to that particular app. Am having Android phone. when i click on shortcut its navigating to power-apps mobile application.

[@DanielChristian19]

Hi Papitha,
That shortcut should directly go to the app. It first open the Power Apps app and automatically opens the app inside. I'm an iPhone user hence not familiar with Android behavior.

[@papithasekar9567]

@@DanielChristian19 yes you are right,it opens powerapp mobile application and redirecting to that particular app. but there is some delay, is there anyway we can change some setting to avoid that delay.
2. one more doubt, does this settings has to be done by each individuals in there mobile or i can do it globally and whoever has the access to that particular app will get that shortcut?

Great content--I think breaking each topic into its own short topic-specific video would help people find the exact quick fix they are looking for (and hence boost your TH-cam views!) ;-D

[@DanielChristian19]

Excellent idea Derek and that's exactly what I plan on doing. These are a short videos that show the overall functionality of the gems. I do take some of these and deep-dive in separate videos.
