I emailed them not long ago about this and was basically told that it’s not in the works. Here is a direct quote from their response to me

Though this is something we plan to expand support for over time

Critical for me too for the same reason. I am not certain, but I think it has to do with the language that they are working in that is inhibiting this function. In other words, I think it would require a whole new rework of their system to implement.

It’s okay for apple and android devices as there are apps for them. Unfortunately, any Windows device is out of luck.

Having said that though, I guess that would mean Chromebooks work too … ??

All these years later and still an incredible oversight. You are quite literally the only modern business platform to not support touch interactions. I’m also moving my team to Surface Gos, and it looks like we’ll be dropping Airtable.

We’ll come back if you add support.

Yes, I agree. This issue is really hindering performance.

Our company wants to use AirTable for project tracking and scheduling, and need to use a tablet to access AirTable. The Android and iOS apps are just not quite powerful enough to use, and so we want to use the full site on a tablet. However, this is impossible to do because you can’t scroll on the web version of AirTable with a touch device…

AirTable staff, please please please add this feature! I feel like it is essential and would help you in the long run.

Wow… can’t believe this is still an issue! I see so many people using Surface Pros for productivity work, the fact that this issue has been outstanding for all this time is surprising. I definitely add my voice to those asking for this.

Yes please really need this…just starting out with airtable but this could be dealbreaker.

Still an issue. Can you please fix this?

That’s kind of crazy when you think about it, every other site scrolls Google sheets, Office 365, etc but Airtable… I tried my bases on iOS iPad a few months back and was amazed that you couldn’t finger scroll. But on Microsoft Surface… I’m shocked, thankfully there is still the keyboard and touchpad but this issue makes me believe that one of the founders really hates tablets. When you look at Airtable iPhone’s app low possibilities, they are not into smartphones either.

Can we have official feedback here please, any technical reasons apart of phobias on portability?

Yep. Scrolling doesn’t work in Airtable on neither iPads nor iPhones.

Would really love Airtable to work on iOS browsers!

The Airtable mobile app that you can download from the App Store isn’t full-featured, so it would be awesome to get this working on mobile browsers!

There must be some technical challenge that they’re facing, which is preventing them from rolling this out.

Could someone from AirTable make an official comment on this please?

I just spent $10k on Dell latitude 7220 rugged tablets, for employees to complete field data entry into Airtable. The tablets have arrived, and come to find out that they are nearly useless to me, because Airtable doesn’t support touch screen scrolling in Windows 10. How would I have even know to verify this functionality. I am completely dumbfounded (and angry)! WHY is this not supported in Airtable?!?!?

As a premium customer, I pay good money for advanced functionality. I don’t feel like something as rudimentary as scrolling with a tablet would be considered anything but basic functionality. ysigh].

I have a similar problem using a graphic tablet (XP-Pen 15.6), cannot drag nor right-click properly in the Airtable UI on Chrome.

Still an issue. iPad app is good enough for now, but bigger concern is the number of comments on this over a 3 year span and not a peep from Airtable. Is that the norm?

Oh man really bummed this is still an issue. What gives?

I was working on my beautiful team workload planning yesterday in Kaban view on my Surface Pro and I was bluffed (again) by the fact that I could not move a task from “unassigned” to a collaborator’s column with my stylus or fingers… Well, it is not completely true, if you keep the stylus on the card until a fist shows up you can then somehow move it but it is not what one using a touchscreen has in mind in 2020.

Same with scrolling vertically or horizontally, not available on touchscreen.

I made a short review (Using Airtable with Safari on iPad 13.x.x) on the iPad pro and safari with the new iPad ios last year and I already mentioned it. The lack of scrolling on a touch screen is unacceptable because I can scroll on any cloud app site that I use on any given browser but with Airtable. It is clear to me that the entire Airtable staff works on Apple OS environment and when they snatch an iPad it’s for Airtable on iOS only. In other words, no one there cares that Airtable is useless on laptop/desktop with touch functionality.

It is hard to believe 4 years later this basic requirement to be able to scroll on a Surface Pro has never been addressed or responded to by anyone from Airtable.
