Speed Performance

The Outlook app takes a long time to work each time when changing between apps. This is the case even when the app is already open. The screen is blank for ten seconds or maybe longer before it loads. Compared to accessing the Exchange server through the native iOS Mail app, which my company disabled in the past year, performance has been slower and sluggish.

    It seems emails received do not reflect quickly with app, there is significant delay in reflecting new emails received, need to have sync frequency option with the server..

    Load time for the app after a context switch has gotten horribly slow. Even if the app is loaded in memory and has a correct mailbox view, switching to another app and switching back to Outlook causes Outlook to take a long time to display the current folder. Is outlook re-authentication to the exchange server after a simple context switch? I hope not. Please figure out this significant regression and fix.

    I think this is all going fast and eventually Outlook would reach to the state of Facebook app. A giant sized app which is sluggish.. email apps while encriched in features, should be lite weight and super fast. If the phones are getting faster everyday, my finger would point to the dev group failing to produce quality apps. An equivalent app - Spark from Readdle is able to publish app under 150Mb of size. Why can't you given all the resources Microsoft has. You don't want a VP from Outlook jumping onstage and proudly say we've made Outlook faster built from scratch etc(Mark Z F8 stage comments for Facebook app).. That's like closing your eyes and not realizing until people move away..

    Very slow to update inbox and sometimes can’t able to send new mail from mobile app. Not properly syncing with desktop outlook.

    Performance on outlook is really slow, updating just to get new mails sent takes almost forever to boot and when it does, it takes another time for the mail to be opened... it’s really frustrating I must confess!

    Cache the most recent content so when i open the app I don’t have to wait 5-10 seconds before anything is available. I just want to quickly check my calendar, not stare blankly at my phone like an idiot.
