ThoughtSpot on mobile devices

ThoughtSpot mobile provides access to ThoughtSpot from your smart phone, iPad, or another handheld device.

With ThoughtSpot mobile app you can discover insights in seconds, from billions of rows of data, right from the palm of your hand. You can access your ThoughtSpot cluster to search answers and Liveboards. You can also create Liveboards using existing answers and use Liveboard filters.
