Question

There are years of records showing Airtable customers begging for a workable mobile app. What is the reason they have decided never to improve the mobile app?

Why wouldn’t you, as a company who likes money, after years of being asked, just develop a working mobile app? 

As it stand now the Mobile app is terrible. It loads slowly, the way the UI is set up, you constantly are popped out of your base when you try to move to different tables, etc. I’m not even asking for configuration to be better on app. I can sit down at a desktop to do this. But what is the point of creating tasks/todos in an airtable system if it take 5 min just to load up one linked task in a record? 

I know there are tons of these posts but they are all closed with no answer. I just want to know WHY. Is there some logistical reason why the UI cannot be developed into a working product? Is Airtable ran by evil goblins who enjoy our pain? Is it a social experiment to see how long we last before switching to a competitor? 

I’ve used Airtable for about a decade, I’ve moved my entire workplace and a few partners over to airtable because of how much I like the desktop version. But now we are all going to have to move over unless we can find a way to make mobile work. I don’t want to go to a new system. Why do y’all hate money?
