Hi @abdullah - turns out I am in the same situation. The data refreshes when you open the app or hit refresh but not through the day. Have you come up with a solution to getting the windows 10 app to refresh through the day automatically?

Cheers.

Hi @elliotdixon,

We are not aware of any refresh related issues in the Windows app.

Can you please provide us some more details on the issue that you experience:

1. What device are you using?
2. What is the Windows app version that you use?
3. Where do you see the refresh problems? is it in dashboard list? inside a dashboard? inside a report?

Thanks,

Yaron

Apparently the data should refresh every time you start the app
