I am a regular use of the AirTable iOS app, but have two requests / issues that I encounter on a daily basis. I usually attach some attachments (images for the most part) to my records and about 50-60% of the time, the attachments fail to upload to the record (ie. due to some issues with AirTable server, mobile network connectivity, etc.–actually unknown as there are no logs, just silently fails from an user perspective). It would be awesome if the iOS app had some local caching / management and syncing functionality built into the attachments feature so my uploads don’t get lost on “failure”. Since there is no notification that the upload has failed and they are just dropped, I don’t usually notice that my attachments are missing until I review the record several days later and then I have to track down and mentally re-associate attachments with the record. To the iOS devs: a simple temporary fix would be to add some type of retry logic in the failure callback of the upload call. Another issue I am having related to images is I will usually attach multiple images to a record. It would be awesome if I could select multiple images in the gallery. Otherwise, I have to upload images one by one, and if the image is “far down” the image gallery, I have to scroll all the way back down and find out which image I need to upload. Anybody else having these issues with attachments and/or have a solution/workaround for the time being?

I have an iPad Pro and it’s beyond frustrating having to drag myself through the desktop site (which already sucks on mobile devices) just to build a simple formula tab or edit it for that matter. Am I the only one here that’s incredibly frustrated by this?

So all the hidden fields on my laptop are not hidden on my phone. I see that hiding fields on mobile has been requested since at least 2018, and I’m wondering if any progress has been made on this front? Is this something that could be achieved with one of the apps or something?

Increased permission levels! Hiding tables from certain users Hiding views from certain users without making them personal views Hiding fields from certain users Editable shared links Allow adding records to synced tables The IOS mobile app also shows ALL views including everyone’s personal views and when a record is opened it shows all fields with only a small indicator saying that field is hidden.

I saw some old suggestions here on the forums but just wanted to check does anyone know if Airtable ever gave an official reason for why the tablet version of the app is so crippled? Using the site in recent versions of Safari on the iPad is almost-not-infuriating these days but can’t a unicorn startup muster a few bucks and get someone on the task on figuring out how to run a proper web app on $2,000+ worth of hardware? 😅

I would really like the ability to create or edit fields with a formula on the Android app. Currently, this is only available on desktop. Even if I create the field as a formula on desktop, I cannot edit the formula on the mobile app.

I have a consultancy and I jump between different accounts all the time. Would be super nice to be able to be logged in to more then 1 account on mobile and desktop and be able to switch between those accounts.

For the sake of sanity I beg Airtable to allow increase size of thumbnails on mobile apps iOS and Android
This is getting nuts! I sold my beloved iPhone and switched to Android for the main reason that thumbnails of picture attachments in Airtable are so small on iOS.
They were a little bit bigger - still small but acceptable - on Android.
Now Airtable updated the design of the app on Android. While I applaud the changes and improvements the SIZE OF THE THUMBNAILS is now even smaller! About the size on iOS!!
For the sake of sanity, I beg Airtable, Please allow people with less than perfect eyesight to continue using Airtable.
Pictures are way better to look for individual records if searching by text is not an option.
The thumbnails are now small beyond the limit of pain.
Give the people with less than perfect eyesight the option to change the size of the rows and thus hopefully change the size of the thumbnail.
I do NOT need you to cache a larger version of the thumbnails. It should be perfectly fine the size the app already has in Cache, but allow it to make it bigger and set the row height bigger.
I am not expecting to have the same range of options as we on the desktop and on the web. But give us one additional size to increase the row height.
This is so important and I have emailed many times to Airtable over last 12 months, no updates on this request.
Yet, when I look at the reviews of the mobile apps, both Android and iOS, I see countless people have the issue.

We need the ability to duplicate a record on our mobile apps so we can quickly add, then edit, a brand new record that’s strongly similar to the first, saving us excessive duplicative entry work in records with many fields.

Every now and then I need to share my iOS device for a short period of time. It would be very much needed to have easy and quick PIN protection for additional protection for the app data. To make full logoff and logon every time for that situation is not very convenient. Would it be possible to introduce optional PIN protection for the iOS app?
