1. 1/5Pointless out of the box

   DD is basically just an overpriced ripoff of a collection of already established open source tools and this app is just a worthless wrapper around that. The app itself doesn't do much other than display. I mean you really can't do much out of the box. Can't see dashboards unless you own them, searching is so restrictive that you're just wasting your time even looking at it. Basically it requires massive setup and spending days getting everything setup for yourself on the desktop version first. Then just ask yourself, why am I just not using the mobile site via a browser? So then what exactly is this app for? I mean at least they can claim they have an app, but I find it pretty much worthless unless you sunken so much time to setup everything up for yourself using the desktop client that you might as well just save yourself the hassle and just do that meaning this thing is pointless. I guess the have to spend all that money they make ripping off and reselling open source tooling somehow. Give more back to those you are ripping off.

2. 1/5Buggy, impossible to triage an incident on mobile app

   Mobile is clearly an afterthought at Datadog. Extremely frustrating that basic functionality doesn’t work. You cannot search logs with any filters unless they were saved from desktop. Dashboards are buggy and fully reload the whole app every 30 seconds. The list goes on. For how expensive Datadog is, this is truly unacceptable. Please invest in making this app actually work. It’s important to be able to triage on mobile and its current form is completely unusable.

3. 1/5Sad

   I’m a dev for a large public company that has been getting more and more teams on the datadog platform. Their desktop browser products like APM are truly fantastic. However, in 2025, on-call devs MUST have access to a useful mobile app that has all of the same functionality as desktop. Unfortunately, datadog’s app is hot garbage and needs to be completely redesigned. To make it worse, the website is completely broken in mobile Safari and not responsive at all. I’m going to look for a logging and monitoring platform that has a better mobile site (or app) and pitch it to my team.

4. 1/5App is helpful but links don’t open to the right page so becomes worse than the web

   I am going to remove the “open links in app” hooks because every time I click a datadog link to examine a monitor or a shared dashboard, it opens the app but just leaves me on whatever was the last app screen I was looking at. This breaks me from being able to use datadog on my phone. If I can’t remove that hook, it’s going to be an uninstall. You have to fix this.

5. 1/5Fix UI Performance issues, Design needs work

   If you are looking at simple charts with very few metrics (1 or 2) then the app is adequate. If you have a complicated system and charts with more metrics don’t bother. Just login to the website on your phone and you will have a far better experience. And because I have the app now all my browsing attempts to datadog open the app that is borderline useless. So I am uninstalling for now. Design wise there is a lot that this app has going for it....but don’t look for any semblance of familiarity. It is like the mobile app was designed on a different planet. The SSO sign in process is probably the most clunky that I have ever seen on an enterprise app. This isn’t a mobile problem specifically, but the sign in process on the app is that much worse because of it. It appears this app was released with little testing outside of the happy path and little weight was put into what people do with datadog in the real world.
