Please can we add grouping to views in iOS apps?
This simple feature is, in part, stopping me from being able to transition my workflow to an entirely iOS ecosystem.

I desperately need all core app views on iOS with solid drag and drop functioanlity across groups, calendar and kanban. Views are the insights. I need insights on mobile. I dont quite get the desktop first platform in a mobile first world?


I would really like to see feature parity with the desktop and iOS apps, I wanted to switch my spreadsheets to airtable but have been sticking with numbers for now. It would be wonderful to be able to fill the tables with photos using drag and drop. +1 for Kanban view, i missed the com0act card view that was removed from the ios apps

I just hit the no grouping in iOS grid view. I previously was trying to do Kanban on IPad which I couldn’t do. I get kanban view’s UX and Dev efforts need the the time (resources) to do it right. I know Trello took forever (it felt like) to get iOS out early on.

However… Grouping in grid view on moblile should be a given.

I love Airtable,

I agree. Not being able to view in groups is a pretty big deterrent to getting a paid version or even continue using the free version I’ve been playing around with.

Yes, please, this would be so helpful!

I would really like to see different views on the ios too. Limited options for a few other things like cutting and pasting cells from one tab to the other and commuting is the time I get to update my info on AirTable.

No Grouping / Kanban on iOS is what prevents me getting my company onboard with Airtable. No insights = might as well use Excel :frowning:

Ooof… just ran into this roadblock. And it hurts. Quite a shock to install the iOS app and find my beautiful grouped view without any groups at all. With the amount that I use grouping, it seems (unfortunately) that I’m out on mobile until this is a feature :confused:


Meh, same here, have to use web version on IPad pro

You’re lucky… On an iPad Mini, you can’t even access the web interface :confused: .
At least, I tried and it failed :confused: .

But I do agree… The grouped view on iOS would be a great add :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: !

Yeah, web view also not working for me…

+1 here. Definitely a shock to the system setting everything up on my desktop only to find out that there’s no grid group view on iOS. Would love to hear from someone at Airtable to know if this is on the roadmap.

+1. Groups are an essential feature for my iOS-dominated workflow.

Yes! I find myself constantly getting frustrated by the limitations of sort functions on iOS. Group views consistent with desktop would go a long way to improving this


I second this. It makes the iOS versions unusable.

Are you ever going to add this? We’ve been literally waiting years. It makes the iOS app useless for anyone who uses grouped views.
At the least fix the website so we can use it on iOS.

Just a bump looking for an update. We’re on the verge of moving away from Airtable because we can’t group and can’t format Long text. This is amazing software, just can’t quite get it to work without the ability to Group & Format. Thanks!

Ugh I just ran into this as well. Major limiter to using the app.

Same here… Airtable iOS limitations look as concerning as those of Google Sheets; major obstacle for us.

Seems like a pretty simple thing, that has been going on since 2017…

I really think i have to start looking elsewhere. :frowning:


There are a handful of missing features that keep so many from considering paid — iOS crossovers being top of the list.

One other, is that owners are made to pay for all their collaborators no matter what level of usage a collaborator is engaging. We need more tiers for collaborators, or options for collaborators to pay their own way.

This is a big hurdle for me also!

I’ve spent some time putting together a project/task management table that works great, and is tailored for the Studio workflow. How disappointed was I when I went to show someone a view on iOS that is grouped perfectly on desktop?

Is this something that is especially complex to achieve on mobile?

+1 Grouped views on iOS is a critical addition. Can we find out where – or if – this fits on Airtable’s roadmap, please?


This desperately needs to be added to the iPad and iPhone apps. It is hindering my workflow and filters - I shouldn’t have to create different views for each device.


Hello. I really need this functionality as well. It makes the program literally not functionally for our team off premises. We need grouping and view functions to preview as they do on the web.
