An app is a Power BI content type that combines related dashboards and reports, all in one place
A bundle of dashboards, reports, and datasets. It also refers to the mobile apps for consuming content, such as Power BI app for iOS
An app can have one or more dashboards and one or more reports, all bundled together
Apps are created by Power BI designers who distribute and share the apps with consumers
Advantages of apps
Apps are an easy way to share different types of content at one time
Because related dashboards and reports are bundled together, it’s easier for you to find and install in both the Power BI service and on your mobile device
After you install an app, you don’t have to remember the names of a lot of different dashboards or reports because they’re all together in one app
With apps, whenever the app author releases updates, you automatically see the changes
