What is the proposed idea/solution? Add passcode lock feature/option for iOS App How does is solve the user problems? Airtable stores a vast amount of data which may at time be confidential or require additional security. Viewing of that data by persons other than intended could have detrimental consequencee. How was this validated? There is no lock feature in the app. Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses the mobile app.

What is the proposed idea/solution? Hi. I think it is high time for airtable to enable sending an SMS text from the program rather than using Twilio or some other app interface. I played around with Twilio and it is not worth trying to keep it going when I simply want to send a text based on some conditions. I’m a pretty heavy user but my job is not to do airtable and interfaces and apps. My job is to use airtable to get stuff done. A simple and reliable way to send a text significantly helps me do my job. How does is solve the user problems? Texts have become second nature in our personal and professional lives. Airtable needs to allow us yo send an SMS text easily and reliably. How was this validated? Huh? Who is the target audience? Every user of Airtable.

I have around 150 field techs that upload completion reports to my Airtable base. the process needs to be clean and simple as a lot of the techs are subcontractors and just getting them to use my Airtable form can be a challenge. One issue I have is that photos captured within the form are not also stored on the device, unless they take the photo first, then open the form, and select the image from their phone gallery. This process is a little cumbersome. 90% of the time there is no problem but occasionally the form must be failing on submission so the entries do not show up, and when I ask the techs to resubmit they don’t have a copy of the images on their phones. So I need to pay for them to return to site and get photos again. I’ve tried to get them to take photos first, then open the form… But it’s just not as user friendly to do this. Is it possible for photos captured within the form while using a smart phone, to also save to the users device?

The button is way to small in the mobile app, impossible to click on first try, sometimes need to click 10 times to hit it. It’s not a problem with the application or iOS or Android but the close button is too small. The issue is on iOS (iPad mini smaller screen than iPad) and maybe also Android, don’t know.) See picture.

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?

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?

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?

Hi guys, I use “Attachment” fields to upload images to my records. On my laptop I can select multiple images from my devices folders and and upload them all at once. Unfortunately it seems when uploading from my mobile, I have to select images one by one (Click “select files to upload”, select folder, select image, REPEAT for each image). Does anyone else experience the same when uploading from mobile phones?
