From Windows, I can view data with a nicely displayed table view. On Android and Ipad, I cannot view all the fields as a table. I can click on the database item and view it as a card. it will be really nice to have a choice of table or card view, in the card view, I can flip the cards by flicking it.
Much appreciation

Android is still in Beta, but it is working quite well already. Wonder when will it be taken off beta and make it a full app with all the features.

As of now on submitting form it shows thank you message. We have to manually refresh again for next entry.
It would be cool if there’s save & proceed to next entry button.

When I enter a string of numbers, the app confuses it for a phone number or some link. this made it impossible to delete the database or modify.

Windows have the database in a spreadsheet format, but not on Android and ipad. This is so important because I can see more information on the spreadsheet format.
Should be able to switch easily between spreadsheet and card format for viewing.

It would be great if you could make a view within a base (additional to grid/form/calendar) that showed a line-by-line feed of changes in the base (edits, additions and deletions).
e.g.
10:01.32 JK Rowling edited (Name Field). (Field 5)'s value was ‘x’. Now it is ‘y’.
10:07:46 Stephen King added a new row (Name Field).
10:12:11 John Grisham deleted the row (Name Field)

This is quickly becoming one of my largest “needs” as I have created work a rounds for many of my other feature requests and just (as of yet) been unable to find a reliable, single step, process for sharing content as an attachment to Airtable.
This ranges from needing to Share e-mails, e-mail attachments, etc without needing to first download them into Google Drive or similar and then open Airtable and attach manually. Having to save in multiple places creates multiple steps as well as causes me to have to have the files saved in multiple places and is just messy. Especially since, fundamentally, Airtable is meant to be my organizational utility.
Is this something that is even on the Roadmap currently?

The problem: the people on my team who do data entry are confused about which fields they should enter data on.
For example I made one column for the sole purpose of counting the entries on a separate table. The column uses an IF formula to find if another column has “Paid in Full” selected.
While training a coworker she pointed to the column and was confused - why did she have to add duplicate data?
It would be awesome if the column hinted that it was “computer generated” at just a glance.
Here’s my suggestion:
Airtable should use a different font for data that’s produced by a formula or otherwise can’t be changed directly. I suggest a monospaced font that looks “computery”.
When something changes that makes a formula-powered filed change don’t just update it instantly. Use the yellow fade technique to clue the user that something has changed https://signalvnoise.com/archives/000558.php
If there’s no data in the field already, use a slightly greyed out background so it looks like “nothing can be entered here”

I’d love to be able to defer active filtering (e.g. until after field entry).
Right now data entry can mess up the workflow because the view gets a refresh during editing of a field that is part of the filter (when the filter kicks in). The rows move up but the ‘old’ filtered row is placed on top of the new selection / top row.
The result is there’s no way for the user to quickly update the view. Without the filter users can simply edit the field and jump to the next row using the enter key.

I would love a formula that looks at a date field and tell if it’s in the past , present, or future.
This way I can create views for my upcoming classes, current classes, and previous classes
