Airtable

Keeps shutting the app while I’m trying to set it up for my business

Open the app and try to make a grocery list and it keeps going back to the home screen … not promising

The app lacks many functions and doesn’t allow logging in from a browser on a tablet. This design is frustrating and makes it impossible to complete tasks without a desktop.

Airtable is great. But this app is hard to use because it is unstable. When I need to input data over a period of time I will sleep the screen between inputs. But the Airtable app routinely has to reboot the base from the home screen which severely impacts the workflow. When I do a similar thing with Numbers I have no issue sleeping the screen in between data entry. Although Numbers is a spreadsheet app I see no reason why Airtable can’t match that performance.

Literally changes my life honestly. Has proper sorted my life out, give me a job please 😂✌🏽🔥🎥🤷🏽‍♂️ I will give you compelling cinematic storytelling no one else can, while all having fun

This app is user friendly and highly tailorable - a real game changer!

The UX is really not great on this app. There are two big arrows at the top, neither of which do anything useful, but draw the eye. I constantly hit the left back arrow thinking it will take me to the home of my Base. Instead it takes me out to the Workspace menu. (In this regard, the same is true on the web version. Trello has this sorted and it’s so much easier to navigate). In order to get to Home you have to click the teeny tiny, unhighlighted nav text under the big bold header bar. In order to change tables you have to do the same. Why would getting to the Workspace home and general Base settings be more of a priority than switching between tables? If you click the Base header arrow (by far the most prominent button) you’d expect to open up a drop down of table tabs to switch between. Instead, you can just change the name and colour of the Base. How often do we need to do that? (Hardly ever) and yet it takes all the real estate. (Meanwhile, on the iPad version you can’t check multiple field options - you have to reopen the field each time you click an option. Then reopen it to select another. Laborious!) Also, I am not interested in Team features, but there is no option to pay (preferably via all my referral credits) for extra features like more colours. I don’t want to pay for extra users but I’d happily pay a bit for colours etc. (Info: I use Airtable for managing client projects, planning novels and world building, running my veg garden, planning home projects. I don’t need to collaborate beyond being able to share some views with clients). Airtable really has been a game changer for me. I’ve tried so many productivity tools and this is by far my favourite. But the iOS version needs more thought.

These are standard in apps now. It’s a blinding light opening this app at night.

Constantly crashing, fields not updating, views not updating

No longer let’s me add photos even after deleting some they just load blurry or not at all within the app yet if I send a link to it people can see the photos no problem
