This is not a replacement for the Dynamics CRM app for Phones, as it does not include dashboards, and the ability to enter data in CRM records. But it does satisfy a much needed feature request. No more will you need to wait to get back to your PC to track emails against CRM records, or clumsily copy/paste between CRM mobile apps.
In order to work properly the user must choose to use Server Side Synchronization of emails. The organization should also deploy the Dynamics 365 App for Outlook.
