  Hi Marcin,
  
  If you are using mobile app on Windows devices, it probably hasn't supported Power BI Report Server yet. You'll notice it prompt you to connect "SQL Server Reporing Services 2016", not "Power BI Report Server".
  
  The mobile app works fine in Android and iOS devices, and you can follow this article on how to set it up: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-mobile-iphone-kpis-mobile-reports/

    Hi,
    
    I found first reason was that my computer wasn't visable by local network , after I change this the problem with url disappeared.
    But now the problem is with the log on into server,
    I have added new user named : "report" to security options which is local user on computer where server is installed and I use its credentials why trying to log to server using this time Mobile App on my Android OS , my phone is also using WiFi the same that computer with server.
    
    The error is : "There was a problem during the authentication process"
