The Looker mobile application lets users access content from a Looker (Google Cloud core) instance or Looker (original) instance. Users can view Looks and dashboards, view boards they follow, browse content that is stored in folders, and share content on their mobile devices.
Download the app
To download the Looker mobile app, search for Looker in the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, or use the following links:
- App Store (for iOS)
- Play Store (for Android)
The Looker mobile application lets you access your Looker and Looker Studio Pro content from a single app. You can view Looks and dashboards on a mobile device.
Enable and use the app
Note that while you can access content from a Looker (original) instance using either the Looker app or Looker Mobile (Legacy) app, you can only access content from a Looker (Google Cloud core) instance using the Looker app. Also, the app is only available for Public IP instances.

Differences between the Looker and Looker Mobile (Legacy) apps
You can also access Looker content using the Looker Mobile (Legacy) application. The key differences between the two apps are as follows:
